When bidding for FFR, what activation time do you bid for or should you be prepared for all three?
You select one of the options during prequalification. Tests are then carried out to confirm that the selected activation time level is met.
One of three different activation times must be selected. Full activation (100%) will be achieved within:
- 0.7 seconds if activated at 49.5 Hz
- 1.0 second if activated at 49.6 Hz
- 1.3 seconds if activated at 49.7 Hz
One of two endurance options should be selected:
- 30 seconds
- 5 seconds
Repeatability: FFR must be ready for reactivation within 15 minutes.
