La Marche Float Current Monitor

Do you know your battery’s state of health?

La Marche Float Current Monitor measures and monitors the charging current flowing into batteries in applications where batteries are continuously connected to a float charger or constant voltage power source. This monitoring capability ensures compliance with NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) regulations, which aim to maintain the reliability and security of the power grid.

Applications

In industries where accurate, current monitoring is crucial for optimal performance, safety, and energy efficiency.

Float current monitors find applications in:

  • Telecommunications: They are employed in power distribution units (PDUs) or power systems to monitor the current consumed by telecom equipment, such as routers, switches, and communication servers.
  • UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Systems: Float current monitors play a crucial role in UPS systems, which provide backup power to critical equipment. Monitoring the charging current helps optimize battery performance and identify abnormalities affecting UPS system reliability.
  • Power Plants and Substations: Used to monitor battery health and charging in backup power systems, ensuring the availability of reliable backup power in case of grid failures or emergencies.
  • Renewable Energy Systems: Used in battery-based renewable energy systems, such as solar or wind power installations, to maintain optimal battery performance and maximize the utilization of renewable energy sources.
  • Data Centers: Used in data centers to monitor and manage battery backup systems, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to critical IT infrastructure and preventing data loss.

Importance of Monitoring Float Current

By monitoring the float current, it is possible to assess the batteries’ health, trend, and performance. An abnormally high or low float current can indicate issues such as battery degradation, cell imbalance, or a faulty charging system. Monitoring the float current allows for early detection of potential battery problems, enabling timely maintenance or replacement to ensure optimal battery performance and longevity.

Float current monitors provide compliance with NERC regulations and are used in various industries and applications where battery systems are crucial for backup power. They enable effective monitoring of charging currents, ensuring the health and performance of batteries in critical power infrastructure.
