SOLID STATE UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Scope: This specification describes the operation and functionality of a continuous duty,

single-phase static Uninterruptible Power Supply, hereafter referred to as the UPS.

B. Included Features of the UPS:

1. The UPS utilizes double conversion online topology designed to protect
electronic equipment by supplying reliable, network-grade power featuring

extremely tight voltage and frequency regulation.

2. The UPS features internal bypass and input power factor correction.

3. The primary sections of the UPS are: input disconnect and filter stage, input

PFC power stage, energy storage stage (DC bus capacitor bank), output
power (inverter) stage, bypass and a battery charger. The control of power
module and fault detection logic is microcontroller-based.

a. The input disconnect and filter stage contains an input back-feed relay,

input filter, transient suppression, and battery select switches
(mechanical).

b. The input PFC power stage contains non-isolated power factor correcting

AC/DC converters. This converter is capable of full power operation over
a very wide input voltage range or from a nominal DC battery voltage.

c. The energy storage stage is a split DC bus capacitor handling seamless

transitions from battery to line and vice versa, as well as the low and
high frequency power stages ripple.

d. The output power (inverter) stage operates directly from the DC bus and

produces a configurable AC output voltage of 208 V or 240 V output
(depending on model). The output of the UPS is connected either to the

inverter or through a bypass relay, contactor, or static switch to the filtered
input line.

e. The UPS contains a battery charger, which operates from the DC bus.

The UPS batteries are modular, hot-swappable, and user-replaceable.
The UPS can be restarted immediately after a prolonged power outage
without waiting for the battery to be recharged.

4. The UPS utilizes green mode, a patent-pending operating mode that

bypasses unused electrical components in good power conditions to achieve
very high operating efficiency (typically 98%) without sacrificing any
protection, exceeding ENERGY STAR® qualifications. The UPS provides early­warning fault analysis on batteries and will project battery replacement
dates, enabling timely preventive maintenance.

5. The UPS supports switched outlet groups. A switched outlet group can be

operated independently from the main UPS outlets, enabling non-critical
load shedding, reboot of hung equipment, and sequenced startup and
shutdown.

Page 2

6. The UPS has flash memory to facilitate firmware upgrades.

7. The graphical LCD display with multicolor backlight provides detailed

information, with the ability to configure the display locally.

8. An integrated UPS Network Management Card 2 with Environmental

Monitoring (AP9631) is embedded.

9. The UPS provides early-warning fault analysis on batteries and will project

battery replacement dates, enabling timely preventive maintenance.

C. Performance, Design, and Configurations: The UPS and associated equipment

operates in conjunction with a primary power supply and an output distribution system to
provide quality uninterrupted power for mission-critical, electronic equipment load.

1. This specification describes the performance, functionality, and design of the UPS,
the external Battery Systems, and connectivity solutions.

2. All programming and miscellaneous components for a fully operational system as
described in this section are available as part of the UPS.

3. The UPS and battery packs are available in the following configurations:

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 MANUFACTURERS

A. Basis of Design: Products specified are Smart-UPS RT Uninterruptible Power Supplies

as manufactured by APC by Schneider Electric and as listed on page 2 of this
specification. Items specified are to establish a standard of quality for design, function,
materials, and appearance. Equivalent products by other manufacturers are acceptable.
The Architect/Engineer will be the sole judge of the basis of what is equivalent.

2.2 MODES OF OPERATION

A. Normal: The UPS output power stage (inverter) constantly recreates the UPS

output voltage waveform by converting the DC bus voltage to AC voltage through a

set of IGBT switches. In both online operation and battery operation, the output

power stage (inverter) creates an output voltage waveform independent of the

mains input voltage waveform. Input voltage anomalies such as brown-outs,
spikes, surges, sags, and outages do not affect the amplitude or sinusoidal nature

of the recreated output voltage sine wave of the output power stage (inverter). The

input Power Factor Correction (PFC) power stage and the output power stage
(inverter) operate in an on-line manner to continuously regulate power to the
critical load. The input PFC stage is capable of full battery recharge while

Page 10

simultaneously providing regulated power to the load for all line and load
conditions within the range of the UPS specifications.

1. Overload Capability: The output power stage (inverter) is capable of

withstanding 150% overload for 30 seconds, 125% overload for 1 minute, or
105% overload for an indefinite length of time.

2. Output Contactor: The output power stage (inverter) is equipped with an

output mechanical relay to provide physical isolation of the inverter from the
critical bus. With this feature a failed inverter will be removed from the critical
bus.

3. Battery Protection: The inverter is provided with monitoring and control

circuits to limit the level of discharge on the battery system.

B. Battery: Upon failure of the AC input source, the critical load continues being supplied by

the output inverter, which derives its power from the battery system. There is no
interruption in power to the critical load during both transfers to battery operation and
retransfers from battery to normal operation.

1. The UPS battery system is comprised of battery modules. Replacement

batteries are user-replaceable, hot-swappable replacement battery

cartridges (RBCs).

2. For 5 kVA and 6 kVA models, a minimum of two battery cartridges must be

installed, providing 192 VDC nominal for the DC bus rail.

3. For 8 kVA and 10 kVA models, a minimum of two battery cartridge pairs

must be installed, one pair providing 192 VDC nominal for the positive DC
bus rail and the other pair providing 192 VDC nominal for the negative DC

bus rail.

4. The batteries of the UPS models in this specification are maintenance-free, leak-

proof, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries with suspended electrolyte.

5. The UPS incorporates the Intelligent Battery Management system to continuously

monitor the health of each removable battery module as well as external battery
modules installed in extended run battery cabinets. This system notifies the user in
the event that a failed or weak battery module is found.

6. Add additional battery packs to increase runtime. These packs and the modules

within them are hot-pluggable, allowing for easy and quick installation or
replacement without the need for electrical wiring, electrician services or powering
down of the UPS. The maximum number of external battery packs that may be
connected to the UPS is limited to 10 for all units

7. The UPS is shipped with battery modules preinstalled but disconnected.

C. Charging: Upon restoration of the AC input source, the UPS simultaneously recharges

the battery and provides regulated power to the critical load.

1. The intelligent battery management system contains a temperature

monitoring circuit and compensation algorithm that regulates the battery
charging voltage and current so as to optimize battery life.

2. The battery charging circuit remains active when in bypass or online states.

3. The UPS can be restarted immediately after a prolonged power outage

without waiting for the battery to be recharged.

D. Bypass: During bypass operation the utility power is connected to the load, bypassing

the internal converters. The system automatic bypass provides a transfer of the critical
load from the Inverter output to the automatic bypass input source during times when the
inverter cannot support the load. The UPS constantly monitors the output current, as well
as the bypass source voltage, and inhibits potentially unsuccessful transfers to automatic
bypass from taking place. The design of the automatic bypass switch power path
consists of a bypass relay for 5 kVA and 6 kVA models, and a heavy-duty
electromechanical bypass contactor for 8 kVA and 10 kVA models.

1. Automatic Transfers: An automatic transfer of load to bypass takes place if the

load on the critical bus exceeds the overload rating of the UPS, if both normal and
battery operation modes are unavailable, if the UPS has an internal fault, or if for
any reason the UPS cannot support the critical bus . Automatic transfers of the
critical load from bypass back to normal operation takes place when the overload

Page 11

condition is removed from the critical bus output of the system or when other
causes are corrected. If the bypass mode becomes unavailable the UPS will
automatically switch to mains power. In the event that mains power is unavailable
the system will switch to battery power.

2. Manual Transfers: Manually initiated transfers to and from bypass may be

initiated by the user display interface.

2.3 INPUT PFC POWER STAGE
A. General: The input Power Factor Correction (PFC) power stage of the UPS

constantly rectifies the power imported from the mains input of the system,
converting input mains AC power to DC power for precise regulation of the DC bus
voltage, battery charging, and output power stage (inverter) regulated outp ut
power.

B. Input Current Total Harmonic Distortion: The input current THDI at full system load will

be held to 7% at 50% load and 5% at full load for the 5 kVA and 6 kVA models and 10%
at 50% load and 5% at full load for the 8 kVA and 10 kVA models while providing

conditioned power to the critical load bus and charging the batteries under steady-state
operating conditions. This is true while supporting loads of both a linear or nonlinear type.
This will be accomplished with no additional filters, magnetic devices, or other
components.

C. Input Current Limit:

1. The input converter shall control and limit the input current drawn from the utility
supply to 150% of the UPS output. During conditions where input current limit is
active, the UPS is able to support 100% load, charge batteries at 10% of the UPS
output rating, and provide voltage regulation with mains deviation of up to +/-20% of
the nominal input voltage.

2. In cases where the source voltage to the UPS is nominal and the applied UPS load
is equal to or less than 100% of UPS capacity, input current will not exceed 130% of
UPS output current, while providing full battery recharge power and importing
necessary power for system losses.

D. Charging:

1. The battery charging circuit contains a temperature monitoring circuit, which regulates
the battery charging current to optimize battery life.

2. The battery charging circuit remains active when the UPS is in automatic bypass and
in normal operation.

2.4 OUTPUT POWER STAGE (INVERTER)

A. General: The UPS output power stage (inverter) constantly recreates the UPS output

voltage waveform by converting the DC bus voltage to AC voltage through a set of IGBT­driven power converters. In both normal operation and battery operation, the output power
stage (inverter) creates an output voltage independent of the mains input voltage. Input
voltage anomalies such as brown-outs, spikes, surges, sags, and outages, shall not affect
the amplitude or sinusoidal nature of the recreated output voltage sine wave of the output
power stage (inverter).

B. Overload Capability: The output power stage (inverter) is capable of withstanding

150% overload for 30 seconds or 125% overload for 1 minute or 105% overload for
indefinite length of time.

C. Output Contactor: The output power stage (inverter) is equipped with an output

mechanical contactor to provide physical isolation of the inverter from the critical bus. With
this feature a failed inverter will be removed from the critical bus.

D. Battery Protection: The inverter is provided with monitoring and control circuits to limit the

level of discharge on the battery system.
