1.1 System performance

A MGETM GalaxyTM 9000 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) delivers 3-phase power with the following characteristics: – stable voltage (±0.5 % under steady state conditions and +/-5% under transient conditions for load step changes of 25 to 100 % or of 100 to 25 %); – stable frequency (±0.05Hz without Mains 2); – or frequency synchronized with Mains 2 to 50/60 Hz ±2 Hz (value may be configured in 0.25 Hz steps); – free of micro-breaks and outages for the duration of the battery time (10, 15 or 30 minutes); – less than 4 % distortion in all system configurations with linear loads; – less than 5 % distortion for a 100 % non-linear load with a peak factor of up to 3.5. The acoustic noise level of a MGE

GalaxyTM 9000 UPS is under 75 dBA.

1. Introduction

Single-line diagram of the MGE

1.2 System description

– a rectifier-charger (RC) module converts 3-phase AC power from the Mains 1 supply into DC power for the normal inverter input and float charges or recharges the batteries; – a battery unit provides backup power for the inverter in the event of a voltage drop or a Mains 1 failure; – an inverter module converts the DC power supplied by the rectifier-charger module or the battery unit into 3-phase AC power for the load; – an emergency bypass module ensures the instantaneous transfer of the load via the static switch to the Mains 2 bypass line in the event of an inverter shutdown (initiated by the user or by a protective device) or a sudden overload; – a maintenance bypass which isolates the UPS for maintenance and transfers the load without interrupting the supply of power. The maintenance bypass is made up of three manual switches.

Note:

– the Mains 1 normal input and the Mains 2 bypass input have different functions and, depending on the installation, may be protected differently upstream and/or come from different sources; – frequency converters are available without backup batteries; – the emergency bypass line and the maintenance bypass line do not exist in installations where the load frequency and the Mains 2 frequency are different (for example in frequency converters); – for reasons of redundancy and/or increased power, the rectifier-charger, inverter and battery modules (the UPS, part A in the MGE added to the output of each UPS for maintenance without disrupting the load. In this type of system, the components of part B in the diagram are located in a separate cubicle referred to as the "Static Switch Cubicle".

Mains 1 power is available: (see figure 11). The green "load protected" light on the control panel is on.

+

légend :

The power necessary for the load is provided by Mains 1 through the rectifier-charger and the inverter. The rectifier-charger also supplies the power to float charge and recharge the battery The rectifier-charger output voltage (DC) is regulated for the different battery types and charging modes: – vented lead-acid or Ni/Cd batteries: two different voltages, one for float charging and one for recharging; – sealed lead-acid batteries: a single voltage for both charge functions. The voltages depend on the number of battery cells and the battery manufacturer. They can be factory set and are adjustable by the after-sales support technicians. An optional electronic board may be used to continuously measure the battery temperature and automatically adjust the voltages.

Introduction

Operation with Mains 1 down (figure 12)

In the event of a Mains 1 failure or Mains 1 voltage outside specified tolerance of –10 % in amplitude (–15 % optionally), the rectifier-charger stops and the battery supplies the necessary backup power to the load via the inverter. The battery, floatconnected between the rectifier-charger and the inverter, discharges during this operating mode. The green "load protected" light on the control panel is on. The user is warned of battery operation by a buzzer and the orange "load on battery" light on the control panel.

beep...beep...

+

This information is also available via volt-free changeover contacts for remote control devices.

In this case, there is a 30 seconds delay.

Note:

In the event of a Mains 1 failure, frequency converters without a battery shut down and the load is no longer supplied.

Battery time

battery

Fig. 12

The available battery time during a Mains 1 outage depends on the: – rated capacity of the battery; – power consumed by the load; – temperature of the battery; – age of the battery. The specified battery time corresponds to a minimum duration at full rated load. The actual backup time can therefore be greater if the system operates below its full rated load during the Mains 1 outage. Operation on battery power can be extended beyond the specified time by reducing the load power consumption (by disconnecting non-critical loads). A "low battery shutdown" warning signal is sent via volt-free changeover contacts for remote control devices when the battery voltage reaches a level slightly above the minimum level. This signal warns the user of the imminent end of battery power. On the device itself, the buzzer beeps increasingly rapidly and loudly. Battery power stops when the voltage supplied by the battery reaches the voltage minimum (340 V). This results in inverter shutdown and transfer of the load without interruption to Mains 2. The red "load not protected" light on the control

panel is on.

beep...beep...

+

34006452EN/AC - Page 10

If Mains 2 also fails, the load is no longer supplied. Normally, the inverter shuts down when the time on the battery power exceeds three times the specified backup time.

Note:

As an optional function (battery time estimator), the "low battery shutdown" warning signal can be sent with an adjustable time delay prior to the effective end of battery power.

Operation with Mains 1 restored (figure 13)

When Mains 1 power is restored or its voltage returns to within specified tolerances, the system automatically returns to its normal operating mode described above (on the condition it did not reach the end of battery power). If the end of battery power was reached (with the resulting inverter shutdown), the RC restarts automatically, but the inverter must be restarted manually, either locally or remotely in systems equipped with a remote-control unit. The rectifier-charger recharges the battery which was discharged during the Mains outage.

Note:

In frequency converters without battery power, the return of Mains 1 power results in the automatic restart of the RC and the inverter.

Battery charge cycle

mains 2

mains 1

Fig. 13

The battery charge cycle takes place in two steps (see figure 14): – step 1: the battery is recharged at a constant current limited to 0.1C10 (i.e. 1/10th of the battery capacity specified for a 10 hour discharge). The DC voltage increases with the battery charge until the charge level is reached; – step 2: the battery is recharged at constant voltage equal to the charge level (maximum value 463 V). The charging current gradually decreases until reaching a specified low value (floating current). For vented lead-acid batteries, the rectifier-charger supplies the charging voltage for 0 to 255 hours (parameter defined by the after-sales support department) and then the floating voltage. For sealed lead-acid batteries, the charging and floating voltages are the same.

Installation with an engine generator set (figure 15)

If a stand-by generator is included in the installation, it is generally started automatically in the event of a Mains failure and connected to the main low voltage switchboard. It is disconnected when Mains power is restored. With such a system, the required battery time may be reduced to the time necessary for starting and bringing on line the stand-by generator. The battery supplies power to the inverter during the transfers: Mains -

The transfer sequences described: Mains - battery They in no way affect the load and require no manual operation by the user.

Note:

To avoid load surges on the generator, the rectifier/charger is started with a 10 second maximum current consumption walk-in.

UPS shutdown or overload (systems with a static switch module) (figure 16)

Single-unit UPSs, modular UPSs or UPSs with an SSC:

– in the event of a UPS shutdown (initiated by the user or by an internal protective device), the load is automatically transferred to the Mains 2 bypass line. If transfer conditions are correct, transfer takes place instantly, without interruption to the load.

Note:

Transfer conditions are not correct when Mains 2 characteristics are outside tolerances (voltage: ±10 %; frequency as per personalization; phase sync with inverter ±3°); – in the event of a major transient overload (greater than 160 % of the full load), immediate transfer takes place as above, without interruption to the load. When the overload disappears, the load is automatically returned to the inverter depending on the configured value of the re-transfer counter: no return to inverter, or 1 to 255 (personalized value) overloads accepted before the load is permanently transferred to Mains 2. This operating mode allows start-up of load devices causing high inrush currents. This system requires correct transfer conditions. If the conditions are not correct, the inverter will current limit to 150 % of its rated current for 1 second before stopping; – in the event of a small but extended overload (i.e. a continuous level of power exceeding the full rated load), the inverter will continue to supply power for a period depending on the magnitude of the overload (10 minutes for a 125 % overload, 1 minute for a 150 % overload). See figure 17 (Overload curve); – in all three of the above cases, the inverter shutsdown and supplies the load via Mains 2 with the following information on the control panel: – green "load protected" light off, – buzzer on,

– red "load not protected" light on.

Introduction

Frequency converters without redundancy

– in the event of a shutdown, the load is no longer supplied with power; – in the event of a major transient overload (greater than 160 % of the rated load), the inverters will current limit to 160 % of their rated current for 1 second before stopping; – in the event of a small but extended overload (i.e. a continuous level of power exceeding the full rated load), the inverters will continue to supply power for a period depending on the magnitude of the overload (10 minutes for a 125 % overload, 1 minute for a 150 % overload, see figure 17), and then stop; – in all three of the above cases, inverter shutdown results in the following on the control panel of the concerned unit: – green "load protected" light off, – buzzer on,

– red "load not protected" light on.

Frequency converters with redundancy

– the shutdown of one unit is of no consequence for the load. The other lines each take up an equal amount of load power and the load continues to be supplied normally; Inverter shutdown results in the following on the control panel of the concerned unit: – green "load protected" light off, – buzzer on, – red "load not protected" light on. – in the event of an overload, the system only loses its redundancy as long as the overload is less than the total rated power of the functioning units. If the overload is greater, the operating mode is that previously described for systems without redundancy.

Output voltage quality and continuity

The output voltage is stable in amplitude and frequency and is free of interruptions or transients outside specified tolerances, irrespective of Mains 1 or load disturbances (outages, load step changes, etc.).

Steady state voltage regulation:

For stable or slowly varying load conditions, the inverter output voltage is regulated to within ±0.5 % in amplitude. The frequency of the output voltage can theoretically be regulated to within 0.1 % of the rated value, however the output frequency range may be intentionally extended to a maximum of ±2 Hz so that the inverter can remain synchronized with Mains 2 and its inherent frequency fluctuations, thus enabling transfer of the load to the bypass line at any time.

30 120

(minutes)

Note:

The output frequency range can be personalized and if necessary modified on the customer site by a qualified support technician from ±0.25 Hz to ±2 Hz in 0.25 Hz steps. When the Mains 2 voltage moves outside this frequency range, the inverter is desynchronized and operates in "free running" mode, with the output frequency regulated to a high level of accuracy by a quartz oscillator. When the Mains 2 frequency returns to within the specified tolerances, the inverter is gradually re-synchronized to the bypass line at a rate of 0.5 Hz to 2 Hz/s (as per the value personalized by the after-sales support department), thus avoiding exposing the load to sudden frequency variations.

Transient voltage regulation:

The inverter output voltage is not notably affected by instantaneous major variations in load characteristics. This is due to the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) chopping technique and the microprocessor-based regulation system that instantly compensates for any variation. In particular, the inverter output voltage remains within ±5 % of the rated voltage for load step changes of 25 to 100 % or of 100 to 25 %.

3.1 Visible control panel

Located in the upper left part of the cubicle front, the visible panel is designed to provide an easy and rapid overview of system status (see figures 22 and 23). Interpretation of symbols is very simple and requires no particular training. The information concerns only the cubicle on which the panel is located. The panel indicates: – normal operation (load protected); – abnormal situations (operating problem); – dangerous situations (load not protected); – operation with load on battery power.

The control panel on the Static Switch Cubicle provides important information for the load: – normal operation (load protected and supplied by the UPSs); – abnormal situations (system malfunction); – dangerous situations (load not protected).

When the "low battery shutdown imminent" warning is received, the beeps increase in decibel level and rate. Finally, if the inverter shuts down, the beep is loud and continuous. A buzzer reset button is located on the hidden control panel. If the buzzer is reset, a higher level alarm will set it on again.

"Load not protected" light

This red light signals that: – the load is supplied by Mains 2 following inverter shutdown (initiated by the user or by a protective device or a sudden overload) or the opening of the inverter output switch Q5N; – battery circuit breaker QF1 has opened, thus making battery power unavailable.

Note:

In a parallel system, this light concerns only the specific UPS. The load may still be protected by the other lines.

+

"Operating problem" light

This orange light signals an operating problem or an environment fault, however the load is still supplied by the inverter. – operating problems:

static switch ventilation fault, static switch control system fault;

– environment faults:

battery temperature outside tolerances, overload greater than 5 %;

– Mains 2 up but with voltage, frequency or phase characteristics outside tolerances with regards to the inverter.

+

"Battery operation" light

This blinking orange light signals that the load is on battery power following: – a Mains 1 outage or voltage drop; – insufficient power on Mains 1, for example power supplied by an engine generator set requiring additional battery power; – battery problem.

"Load protected" light

Control panel

This green light signals that the load is supplied by the inverter and that the specified battery time is available in the event of a Mains 1 outage. In short, it signals that the system is operating normally.

Note:

In parallel systems, this light concerns only the specific UPS. The load may not be protected if it depends on the other lines. It is necessary to take into account all the "load protected" lights for the different system lines or the light on the control panel of the Static Switch Cubicle, if it exists.

+

"Inverter on" button

This green button is used to locally start the inverter. When it is pushed, the green "load protected" light blinks for 3 seconds, indicating that the start-up order has been received. When the inverter has synchronized with Mains 2, it supplies the load and the green "load protected" light remains on. The load is supplied by the UPS and the system is functioning normally. If the transfer to Mains 2 conditions are not correct (Mains 2 voltage, frequency or phase conditions outside tolerances), the inverter will not start and the system awaits a special order (see the "Hidden control panel" section).

Note:

– for modular UPSs with external maintenance bypass or parallel UPSs with SSC, transfer of the load to the inverters takes place only when the number of operating lines required to supply the load has been reached; – for frequency converters, inverter start-up must take place with the load off or drawing a quantity of power equal to or less than that supplied by a single UPS.

+

"Inverter off" button

This gray button turns the inverter off. – press the "inverter off" button for 3 seconds; – if the transfer to Mains 2 conditions are correct: – the load is transferred without interrupting to Mains 2, – the inverter shuts down, – the green "load protected" light goes off and the red "load not protected" light goes on. – if the transfer to Mains 2 conditions are not correct, the button produces no effect. A special function on the hidden panel may be used to force the transfer.

Caution:

If the transfer is forced, the load will be subjected to a 0.8 second interruption in the supply of power.

Note:

– for Modular UPSs or parallel UPSs with SSC, the shutdown of an inverter may or may not result in the transfer of the load to Mains 2, depending on redundancy conditions; – if the transfer to Mains 2 conditions are not correct or if the system does not have a Mains 2, the shutdown of a single inverter will result in the shutdown of the entire system if there is no redundancy.

6. Alarms

The autodiagnostic system considers any system status other than normal as a problem. Prior to any other action, note any lights (A to N) on the hidden control panel that may be on. Also note any messages on the screen. Certain problems may result in the control panel not functioning.

In this case, it is strongly recommended to call the after-sales support department.

– if the load is still correctly supplied with power, it has probably been transferred to Mains 2 (static switch) and is therefore no longer protected; – if the load is no longer supplied with power, transfer it manually to the maintenance bypass (see section below).

6.1 Maintenance bypass

This operation is possible only if the system includes a Mains 2. It results in the load being directly supplied by Mains 2 via maintenance bypass switch Q3BP, thus ensuring a higher level of security in the event of a malfunction.

Important:

Prior to beginning the bypass operation, shut down all system inverters (press the "inverter off" button on each UPS control panel). If an inverter remains operating and the Mains 2 transfer conditions are not correct, the load will suffer a 0.8 second interruption. Switching procedures are explained on a drawing next to each switch. It is imperative that the operation proceed in the following order: – shut down any inverters that may still be running;

7.1 Standard information Media Contacts 9

Terminals XR1, XR2, XR3 and XR4 on the remote transmission board of each type of unit can be used for the input of data from the operating environment and for the transmission of signals on the operational status of the device (see figure 18 for the position of the board).

Remote transmission board

Signal reception

The signals should be provided by volt-free contacts. – emergency shutdown. An NC contact causes:

rapid shutdown of the inverter and the RC, opening of battery circuit breaker QF1, transfer of the load to Mains 2 (generally without interruption in the supply of power);

– battery room ventilation fault: a NO contact causes the shutdown of the RC; – battery circuit breaker QF1 closed: a NO contact inhibits inverter start-up when the breaker is open; – battery temperature: an optional PC-board may be connected to the remote transmission board. It supplies information on the battery temperature, thus enabling the RC to regulate the battery voltage.

7. Environment information

Note:

The Static Switch Cubicle does not receive any of the above signals.

Signal transmission

– an auxiliary 24V power supply, isolated and backed up, is used to supply:

the undervoltage coil release for the battery circuit breaker(s) QF1, an optional board that measures the temperature in the battery room;

– "general alarm" information (2 volt-free changeover contacts) which includes:

internal faults, information on temperatures outside tolerances in the battery room (optional), overload information (I > In), static switch ventilation and power-supply faults;

– "low battery shutdown" warning signal (2 volt-free changeover contacts) indicating that battery time is about to run out.

Signal reception

The signals should be provided by volt-free contacts. – "desynchronization with Mains 2" signal inhibits the inverter from synchronizing its output frequency with that of Mains 2. The inverter supplies a stable frequency and the load may no longer be correctly transferred from the inverter to Mains 2. In the event of a malfunction or an overload, the transfer will take place with a 0.8 second interruption in the supply of power to the load; – "gradual rectifier/charger shutdown" signal makes the rectifier/charger shut down progressively to avoid excessive step load variations in the event of a low output engine generator set replacing Mains 1; – "generator current limiting" signal makes the rectifier/charger current limit the power drawn when a low output engine generator set has replaced Mains 1. The additional power required for the inverter is supplied by the battery; – "battery charge current limiting" signal reduces the battery charge current (programmable parameter) in the event a low output engine generator set has replaced Mains 1; – "transfer to Mains 2 disabled" signal blocks transfer of the load from the inverter to Mains 2. In the event the inverter shuts down (overload, etc.), the load is no longer supplied (for modular UPSs, this information is disabled and transferred to an auxiliary output); – "transfer to Mains 2 with interruption disabled" signal blocks transfer of the load from the inverter to Mains 2 if it would result in an interruption in the supply of power to the load. Only no-break transfers are allowed, i.e. transfer to Mains 2 conditions must be correct or the transfer is disabled (for modular UPSs, this information is disabled and transferred to an auxiliary output); – "auxiliary" signal can be used to provoke (depending on personalization):

– "remote inverter on" signal can be used to remotely start the inverter; – "remote inverter off" signal can be used to remotely shut down the inverter.

Environment information

a forced shutdown of the inverter (regardless of the status of Mains 2),

a protected inverter shutdown (transfer of the load to Mains 2 without interruption only if it is within tolerances),

modification of the inverter output frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz);

Note:

In a system with a Static Switch Cubicle, the following signals must be directed to the Static Switch Cubicle: – desynchronization with Mains 2, – transfer to Mains 2 disabled, – transfer to Mains 2 with interruption disabled.

Signal transmission

These signals are each transmitted by two volt-free changeover contacts with a maximum breaking capacity of 5 A 250 V. – "overload" signal indicates that an overload has taken place (Pload > Pnominal in kVA); – "rectifier/charger function fault" signal indicates that: – a fault has taken place in the rectifier/charger module, – Mains 1 input switch Q1 is open; – "inverter function fault" signal indicates that a fault has taken place in the inverter module; – "transfer to inverter fault" signal indicates that the load transfer conditions from Mains 2 to the inverter are incorrect; – "transfer to Mains 2 fault" signal indicates that the transfer to Mains 2 conditions (voltage, frequency or phase) are incorrect and a forced transfer will result in a 0.8 second interruption in the supply of power to the load; – "rectifier/charger on" signal indicates the status of the module.

Note:

A Static Switch Cubicle receives only the following signals: – overload, – transfer to inverter fault, – transfer to Mains 2 fault.
