Installation and user manual

Introduction

Thank you for selecting an APC by Schneider Electric product to protect your electrical equipment.

The MGE We recommend that you take the time to read this manual to take full advantage of the many features of your UPS.

GalaxyTM 5000 range has been designed with the utmost care.

APC by Schneider Electric pays great attention to the environmental impact of its products. Measures that have made MGE

◗ the eco-design approach used in product development, ◗ the elimination of harmonic disturbances reinjected into the AC source, ◗ production in an ISO 14001 certified factory, ◗ recycling of the MGE

Safety rules

Safety of persons

The UPS must be installed in a room with restricted access (qualified personnel only, according to standard 62040-1-2). A UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energised even if the UPS is disconnected from the AC-power source.

Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel. The UPS must be properly earthed. The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the instructions below must be observed.

◗ Never operate the UPS if the ambient temperature and relative humidity are higher than the levels specified in the

documentation.

◗ Never burn the battery (risk of explosion). ◗ Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin). ◗ Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery. ◗ Caution, wait five minutes before opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge. ◗ Caution, there is high leakage current, the earthing conductor must be connected first. ◗ The product must be installed on a non-inflammable surface (e.g. concrete). ◗ Caution, battery replacement must be carried out by qualified personnel.

Safety

Product safety

A protection circuit breaker must be installed upstream and be easily accessible.

◗ Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment. ◗ Never let a liquid or foreign body penetrate inside the UPS. ◗ Never block the ventilation grates of the UPS. ◗ Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or a source of heat. ◗ When replacing battery cells, use the same type and number of cells.

Special precautions

◗ The UPS connection instructions contained in this manual must be followed in the indicated order. ◗ Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual electrical consumption

of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.

◗ If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place. ◗ The admissible storage temperature range is -25° C to +45° C. ◗ If the UPS remains de-energised for a long period, we recommend that you energise the UPS for a period of 24 hours, at

least once every month. This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.

◗ The UPS is designed for normal climatic and environmental operating conditions concerning the altitude, ambient operating

temperature, relative humidity and ambient transport and storage conditions.

◗ Using the UPS within the given limits guarantees its operation, but may affect the service life of certain components,

particularly that of the battery and its autonomy. The maximum storage time of the UPS is limited due to the need to recharge its integrated battery.

◗ Unusual operating conditions may justify special design or protection measures:

- harmful smoke, dust, abrasive dust,

- humidity, vapour, salt air, bad weather or dripping,

- explosive dust and gas mixture,

- extreme temperature variations,

- bad ventilation,

- conductive or radiant heat from other sources,

- cooling water containing acid or impurities which may cause scale, silt, electrolysis or corrosion of converter parts exposed to water,

- strong electromagnetic fields,

- radioactive levels higher than those of the natural environment,

- fungus, insects, vermin, etc.,

- battery operating conditions.

◗ The UPS must always be installed in compliance with: ◗ the requirements of standard IEC 60364-4-42: Protection from thermal effects. ◗ standard IEC 60364-4-41: Protection from electric shock. ◗ standard IEC 60364-4-482: Electrical installations of buildings. ◗ in France, the requirements of standard NFC 15-100.

2.1 Location

To ensure correct ventilation, leave nothing

0 - 600 mm*

>500 mm

on top of the UPS. Leave one meter of free space in front of the UPS for door opening. The cabinet rests on four cylindrical feet, 40 mm in diameter, positioned in the four corners of the cabinet to spread the weight.

If 500 mm of free space is not maintained

above the UPS, abnormal temperature rise

may occur.

The UPS must be installed in a room with

restricted access (qualified personnel only).

(*) The UPS can operate correctly back to the

wall, but it is preferable to leave some space for easier maintenance.

Note. See the simplified diagrams in the appendix for common or separate AC inputs, indicating the positions of the protection devices, the characteristics of the internal UPS fuses and UPS line currents under overload conditions.

Trip unit Curve N for the downstream circuit breaker

may be replaced by curve H or L, depending on the installation. The indicated protection ensures discrimination for each output circuit downstream of the UPS, whether supplied by via the normal or the Bypass AC source. If these recommendations are not followed, a short-circuit on an output circuit can result in a break in power longer than 20 milliseconds on all the other output circuits.

Earth-leakage current

UPS earth-leakage current is 1 A.

The table opposite is an example for an

installation with up to four UPS units.

◗ For installations with redundant units, take

into account only the number of units required to supply the loads (e.g. in a three-unit installation where one unit is redundant, only two units count in determining the input and load currents).

◗ This table is valid for 400 V input and load

phase-to-phase voltages, at rated load with a power factor of 0.8. For voltages of 380 or 415 V, multiply the current values by 1.05 or

0.96 respectively and, if necessary, modify the cable sizes accordingly.

◗ The cable sizes in this table concern the bold

sections in the diagram below.

(1) Cable sizes are determined for U1000 R02V type copper conductors (for aluminium conductors, increase the size by 30%). Size calculations also take into account a voltage of 400 V and grouping of four cables.

The UPS installation may be equipped with earth-leakage protection upstream on the condition that the protection apply to:

- the normal and Bypass AC inputs

- all the parallel-connected UPSs.

Upstream and downstream: TT, TN or IT system with neutral distributed

Parallel configuration without external bypass cabinet and with common normal and Bypass AC inputs (maximum two units in parallel)

The UPS installation may be equipped with earth-leakage protection upstream on the condition that the protection apply to:

- the normal and Bypass AC inputs

- all the parallel-connected UPSs.

The requirements for the different system earthing arrangements (SEA) are similar to those for single UPS configurations. In the diagrams on page 17, simply replace the single UPS units between points A and B by the following parallel configuration.

Parallel configuration without external bypass cabinet and with separate normal and Bypass AC inputs (maximum two units in parallel)

The UPS installation may be equipped with earth-leakage protection upstream on the condition that the protection apply to:

- the normal and Bypass AC inputs

- all the parallel-connected UPSs.
