1.0 INSTALLATION

The Liebert NX™ UPS is designed primarily for telecommunications and data processing applica­tions. Liebert Corporation neither recommends nor knowingly sells this product for use with life sup­port and other designated “critical” devices.

This section describes the NX’s environmental requirements and mechanical considerations that
must be taken into account when planning the positioning and cabling of the UPS equipment.

Because every site is unique, this section presents a guide to general procedures and practices that
should be observed by the installing engineer, rather than step-by-step installation instructions.

WARNING

!

Do not apply electrical power to the UPS equipment before the arrival of the commissioning
engineer.

WARNING

!

The UPS equipment should be installed by a qualified engineer in accordance with the
information contained in this section.

WARNING

!

Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with this equipment.
When connected together, the nominal battery voltage is 288VDC and is potentially lethal.

• Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs.

• Remove rings, watches and all metal objects.

• Only use tools with insulated handles.

• Wear rubber gloves.
If a battery leaks electrolyte or is otherwise physically damaged, it must be replaced, stored in

a container resistant to sulfuric acid and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

If electrolyte comes into contact with skin, the affected area should be washed immediately
with large amounts of water.

Installation

NOTE

The NX UPS can be used in TN utility system.

1.1 External Inspections

1. While the UPS system is still on the truck, inspect the equipment and shipping container(s) for
any signs of damage or mishandling. Do not attempt to install the system if damage is apparent.
If any damage is noted, file a damage claim with the shipping agency within 24 hours and contact
Liebert Global Services at 1-800-LIEBERT to inform them of the damage claim and the condition
of the equipment.

2. Compare the contents of the shipment with the bill of lading. Report any missing items to the
carrier and your local Liebert representative immediately.

1.2 Internal Inspections

1. Remove any packaging material, then visually examine the UPS and battery equipment for
transit damage, both internally and externally. Report any such damage to the shipper and to
Liebert immediately.

2. Check the nameplate inside the cabinet door to verify that the model number and rating
correspond to the ones specified. Record the model number and serial number in the front of this
installation manual. This information is necessary should service be required.

3. Check for loose connections or unsecured components in the cabinet.

4. Check for shipping damage to internal components.

4

1.2.1 Storing for Delayed Installation

If the equipment will not be installed immediately, it must be stored indoors where the humidity is no
higher than 90% and the temperature is no higher than 104°F (40°C). The storage area must protect
the NX from excessive moisture (see 6.2 - UPS Environmental).

CAUTION

!

If the UPS must remain disconnected from power for more than six (6) months, the battery
must be recharged before use. To charge the batteries, the unit must be connected to utility
power and started up—the charger operates only while the NX is operating.

CAUTION

!

When batteries are installed in the UPS or are cabinet-mounted adjacent to the UPS unit, the
battery—not the UPS—dictates the designed maximum ambient temperature.

1.3 Preliminary Checks

1.3.1 Identification

The equipment supplied has an identification tag on the back of the main door listing the type and
size of the UPS.

1.4 UPS Location

Installation

1.4.1 Positioning the UPS

Choose a location for the UPS that offers:

• Easy connection to inputs, outputs and auxiliary equipment

• Enough space to service the UPS

• Air circulation sufficient to expel heat produced by UPS

• Protection against moisture and excessive humidity

• Protection against dust and other particulate matter

• Compliance with fire prevention regulations and practices

• Operating environment temperature of 74-80°F (23-27°C) for maximum battery efficiency

1.4.2 Environmental Considerations

Before installing the NX, verify that the UPS room satisfies the environmental conditions stipulated
in 6.2 - UPS Environmental, paying particular attention to the ambient temperature and air
exchange system.

The UPS unit should be installed in a cool, dry, clean-air environment with adequate ventilation to
keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).

For optimal UPS and battery system performance and service life, maintain the operating tempera­ture within the range of 74-80°F, (23-27°C).

The NX UPS cooled by internal fans. Cooling air enters the unit through the front of the unit and is
exhausted out the top. To permit proper air flow and prevent overheating, do NOT block or cover the
ventilation openings or blow air down onto the unit. Ventilation clearance above the unit must be a
minimum of 24 in. (610mm).

See Table 9 for details on heat dissipation.

Battery Location

Temperature is a major factor in determining battery life and capacity. Battery manufacturers recom­mend an operating temperature of 77°F (25°C). Ambient temperatures warmer than this reduce bat­tery life; temperatures below this reduces battery capacity. In a typical installation, battery
temperature should be maintained between 74°F and 80°F (23-27°C). Batteries should be placed
where there are no main heat sources or air inlets to prevent portions of batteries from being either
much warmer or much cooler than other parts of the batteries.

5

1.4.3 Special Considerations for 1+N Systems

1. Consider the grounding configuration of your system before finalizing module placement. For
optimal ground performance, the NX modules should be close together.

2. For optimal load-sharing performance, the UPS output cables should be approximately the same
length, plus or minus 20 percent.

3. Position modules in such a way as to minimize the length of power cables and control wiring
between UPS modules and the paralleling cabinet.

1.5 Considerations in Moving the NX

Ensure that the UPS weight is within the designated surface weight loading (lb./ft2 or kg/cm2) of any
handling equipment. See Table 9 for weights of various units.

To move the UPS and optional battery cabinets:

• The NX may be rolled on its casters when moving the unit a short distance. For longer distances,
move the UPS with a forklift or similar equipment to ease the relocation and to reduce vibration.

The optional battery cabinets should be moved with a forklift or similar equipment.

WARNING

!

Ensure that any equipment that will be used to move the NX has sufficient lifting capacity.
The NX weight ranges from 850 to 1400 lb. (386 to 635kg). See Table 9 for details. The UPS
presents a tipping hazard. Do not tilt the NX further than 15 degrees from vertical.

The UPS is fitted with casters—take care to prevent movement when unbolting the
equipment from its shipping pallet. Ensure adequate personnel and lifting equipment are
available when taking the NX off its shipping pallet. Do not tilt the unit more than 15 degrees
from center.

Installation

WARNING

!

The casters are strong enough for movement across even surfaces only. Casters may fail if
they are subjected to shock loading, such as being dropped or rolled over holes in the floor or
obstructions. Such failure may cause the unit to tip over, injuring personnel and damaging
the equipment.

Care must be taken when maneuvering units fitted with batteries. Keep such moves to a
minimum. For further information, see Battery Cabinet Precautions on page 2.

Final Position

When the equipment has been finally positioned, ensure that the adjustable stops are set so that the
UPS will remain stationary and stable (see 7.0 - Installation Drawings).

1.6 Mechanical Considerations

The NX is constructed with a steel frame and removable panels. Top and side panels are secured to
the chassis by screws. The doors may be opened for access to power connections bars, auxiliary termi­nals blocks and power switches.

The UPS comes with an operator control panel, which provides basic operational status and alarm
information. The cabinet houses both the power components and the internal batteries. Cooling is
provided by internal fans. The unit sits on four casters. Adjustable stops are provided to prevent the
UPS from moving once it has been moved to its final position.

6

1.6.1 Clearances

There are no ventilation grilles on the sides or rear of the UPS. The sides must be accessible during
installation. After installation, the unit may be placed with the rear against a wall and optional cabi­nets on either side.

To enable routine tightening of power terminations within the UPS, make sure there is sufficient
clearance in front of the NX to permit free passage of personnel with the door fully opened.

Leave a minimum of 2 ft. (610mm) between the top of the UPS and the ceiling to permit adequate air
circulation above the unit. Liebert recommends against using air conditioning or other systems that
blow air onto the top of the unit.

1.6.2 Floor Installation

The diagrams in 7.0 - Installation Drawings show the location of holes in the base plate for bolting
the equipment to the floor. An optional anchoring kit is available. For information, see your local Lie­bert representative.

If the equipment is to be placed on a raised floor, it should be mounted on a pedestal that will support
the equipment point loading. Refer to the bottom view in Figure 28 to design this pedestal.

1.6.3 Cable Entry

Cables can enter the NX from the top or bottom. Cable entry is made possible by removing a metal
plate attached to the UPS.

These plates are designed to allow the personnel to punch holes for fitting and securing the conduit.
Once the conduit holes are punched, these plates should be reattached to the UPS.

Installation

Connecting cables to the NX may require that the UPS be accessible from the left side to allow per­sonnel to complete the connections and make necessary adjustments. After installation is complete,
the NX may be serviced from the front.

NOTE

When installing the UPS, the customer must provide a disconnect with overcurrent protection
at the output of the UPS.

10-30kVA UPS

The 10-30kVA NX consists of a single cabinet housing the UPS components and the internal battery
string.

Optional battery cabinets are available to provide extended run time. Each cabinet houses additional
strings of batteries that operate in parallel with the NX’s internal batteries. The cabinets are
designed to be bolted to the right side of the UPS (see Figure 1). Refer to 3.4 - External Battery
Cabinet Installation for details.

Optional maintenance bypass/transformer cabinets (MBC-T) are available. These cabinets house the
components necessary to:

• Provide an external wrap-around maintenance bypass switch for servicing the UPS

• Provide voltage transformation for site or application requirements

• Provide a means for neutral isolation and allow installations for site without a neutral conductor

MBC-T cabinets are designed to be bolted to the left side of the UPS (see Figure 1). Refer to 4.5 -

Locating the Cabinet, for further details.

System Composition

A UPS system can comprise a number of equipment cabinets, depending on the individual system
design requirements—e.g., UPS cabinet and External Bypass cabinet. In general, all cabinets used
will be the same height and are designed to be positioned side-by-side to form an aesthetically appeal­ing equipment suite.

7

1.6.4 Optional Cabinets

If your NX installation includes a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, the NX must be positioned to allow
the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet to be bolted to left side of the NX (see Figure 1). Cables from the
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be brought through the bottom side of the NX for connection.

The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet must be cabled and bolted to the NX before the UPS and bypass
cabinet are moved into their final position. Connect the input wiring to the Maintenance Bypass Cab­inet ONLY after the units are connected and positioned.

Battery cabinets may be bolted to either side of the NX, unless used in configurations that include a
Maintenance Bypass Cabinet. If used with a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, battery cabinets must be
installed on the right side of the UPS; see Figure 1 below.

2.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The UPS requires both power and control cabling once it has been mechanically installed. All control
cables must run separate from power cables in metal conduits or metal ducts that are electrically
bonded to the metalwork of the cabinets to which they are connected.

WARNING

!

Before connecting input power to the NX, ensure that you are aware of the location and
operation of the overcurrent protection devices that connect the UPS input/bypass supply to
the power distribution panel.

De-energize and lockout or tagout all incoming high- and low-voltage power circuits before
installing cables or making any electrical connections.

2.1 Power Cabling

2.1.1 Cable Rating

The main factors affecting the choice and size of cable are voltage, current (also taking into account
overcurrent), room temperature and conditions of installation of the cable.

The power cables of the system must be sized with respect to the following description:

• UPS input cables - The UPS input cables must be sized for the maximum input current, includ­ing the maximum battery recharge current, given in Table 10, with respect to the unit rating and
the input AC voltage.

• UPS bypass and output cables - The bypass and output cables must be sized for the nominal
output current, given in Table 10, with respect to the unit rating and the output AC voltage.

• Battery cables - Each UPS unit has its own internal batteries factory-wired. If connecting an
external battery cabinet, the battery cables must be sized for the battery discharge current at the
end-of-discharge voltage, as given in Table 10, with respect to the unit rating.

Electrical Connections

NOTE

Table 10 gives nominal currents for determining the size of UPS power cables. Other
important factors to consider include cable route length and coordination with protective
devices.

The power cables can be sized to suit the UPS unit rating according to Table 10.

Lug Size and Torque Requirements

Refer to Table 27 for lug size and torque requirements.

2.1.2 UPS Input Configuration

Figure 2 illustrates the NX in a split bypass (dual-input) configuration. In this configuration the
Static Bypass and the Maintenance Bypass lines are supplied from a separate feed from the Main
input. Both sources must be protected externally with properly sized protective devices. By default,
the unit ships with internal links installed between the Bypass input and Main input (Single Input
configuration). To wire the unit as a dual input UPS, remove the links and wire the bypass to the
input bus bars, then wire the Main input directly to CB1 (see Figure 3).

1. Take special care when determining the size of the neutral cable, as current circulating on the
neutral cable may be greater than nominal current in the case of non-linear loads. Refer to the
values in 6.4 - UPS Electrical Characteristics.

2. The ground conductor should be sized according to such factors as the fault rating, cable lengths
and type of protection. The ground cable connecting the UPS to the main ground system must
follow the most direct route possible. Control wiring and power wiring must be run in separate
conduit. Output and input cables must be run in separate conduit.

3. Consider using paralleled smaller cables for heavy currents—this can ease installation.

4. When sizing battery cables, a maximum voltage drop of 4VDC is permissible at the current
ratings in Table 10. For terminal connection sizing, see Table 10.

5. In most installations, especially parallel multi-module systems, the load equipment is connected
to a distribution network of individually protected busbars fed by the UPS output, rather than
connected directly to the UPS itself. When this is the case, the UPS output cables can be rated to
suit the individual distribution network demands rather than being fully load-rated.

NOTE

If more load is added to the distribution panel, the unit’s cabling must be resized.

6. When laying power cables, do not form coils; this will help avoid increasing formation of
electromagnetic interference.

NOTE

Left-side access may be required when making power connections. Cable connections should be
made before a cabinet is attached to the left side of the NX or before the UPS is placed where
another obstruction, such as a wall, is against the NX’s the left side.

2.1.4 Cable Connections

The rectifier input, bypass and output are easily accessible from the left side of the unit for installa­tion. All require lug type terminations. They are connected to busbars on the left side of the NX and
below the switch, as shown in Figure 3. These busbars are accessible when the left side panel is
removed. Busbars to connect external batteries are accessible from the front of the UPS.

NOTE

External battery connection access requires removal of a protective panel on the lower front of
the UPS to the left of the bottom two battery shelves.

2.1.5 Safety Ground

The safety ground busbar is located below the neutral input and output busbars as shown in
Figure 5 below. The safety ground cable must be connected to the ground busbar and bonded to each
cabinet in the system.

All cabinets and cable conduit should be grounded in accordance with local regulations.

WARNING

!

Failure to follow proper grounding procedures can result in electric shock hazard to personnel
or the risk of fire, should a ground fault occur.

NOTE

Proper grounding significantly reduces problems in systems caused by electromagnetic
interference.

NOTE

The ground and neutral busbars are easily accessible when the left protective cover plate is
removed. Cable connections should be made before a cabinet is attached to the left side of the
NX or before the UPS is placed where another obstruction, such as a wall, is against the NX’s
the left side.

2.1.6 Protective Devices

For safety, it is necessary to install circuit breakers in the input AC supply and external battery bat­tery cabinets, external to the UPS system. Given that every installation has its own characteristics,
this section provides guidelines for qualified installation engineers with knowledge of operating prac­tices, regulatory standards and the equipment to be installed.

UPS Rectifier and Bypass Input Supply

• Protection from excessive overcurrents and short circuits in power supply input
External overcurrent protection for the AC output circuit is to be provided. See 6.4 - UPS Elec-

trical Characteristics and Table 12 for overload capacity.
High-speed fuses and SCRs are used for internal battery circuit overcurrent protection. When an

external battery supply is used, overcurrent protection for the battery circuit is to be provided by
the customer.

• Dual Input

When wiring the UPS with dual inputs, the Rectifier input and the Bypass input must be pro­tected separately. Size the breakers according to the input currents shown in Table 10.

3.0 BATTERY INSTALLATION

3.1 Introduction

Liebert recommends that the batteries in external cabinets match the internal batteries in the NX in
manufacturer and type.

If using multiple sets of batteries connected in parallel to provide the required battery backup run
times, fit each set with an isolating device to permit working on one of the battery sets while leaving
the others in service and providing backup protection.

When replacing batteries, replace with the same manufacturer and type, or equivalent. See your Lie­bert representative for a list approve batteries.

NOTE

The NX, as shipped, has 24 12-volt batteries installed internally in each unit.

3.2 Safety

Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with the NX system equip­ment. When all batteries are connected together, the battery terminal voltage may exceed 324V and is
POTENTIALLY LETHAL.

Battery Installation

WARNING

!

The NX's internal batteries are connected and energized even if the UPS is turned Off. To
minimize the risk of injury, a qualified service person should disconnect internal batteries
before any maintenance is performed on the unit.

The center of the battery is connected to the neutral of the UPS and is grounded.
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following

precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

• Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.

• Use tools with insulated handles.

• Wear rubber gloves and boots.

• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

3.3 UPS Batteries

The NX's internal batteries are fully charged before the unit is shipped. During storage and transpor­tation, some charge is lost. All batteries should be recharged before use. The battery charger works
only when the NX is connected to input power and turned On.

NOTE

Full safety instructions concerning the use and maintenance of UPS batteries are provided in
the appropriate battery manufacturer's manuals, available on the manufacturer's Web site.

The battery safety information contained in this section relates to key considerations that must
be taken into account during the installation design process and might affect the design
outcome, depending on your installation.

19

3.4 External Battery Cabinet Installation

3.4.1 Matching Battery Cabinets

Two sizes of optional battery cabinets are available. Refer to Figures 13 and 14. The same model bat­tery cabinet may be installed in parallel in multiple cabinet strings for additional capacity. Battery
run time depends on the cabinet model, the number of cabinets and the load on the UPS.

Handling—The battery cabinet has casters to facilitate movement over short distances. The bottoms
of the battery cabinets are reinforced to permit movement by forklift over longer distances.

Inspection—Remove all panels and visually inspect the batteries, bus connections, and cabinet for
any damage. Exercise caution; voltage is present within the battery cabinet even before installation.
If there are signs of damage, do not proceed. Call Liebert Global Services at 1-800-542-2378.

Storage—The batteries can be stored for up to six months without appreciable deterioration. If plan­ning to store a battery cabinet for longer than six months or at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C),
contact Liebert Global Services for recommended precautions.

The following notes, in conjunction with the diagrams (Figure 13 through 12), illustrate the broad
principles to be followed when fitting and connecting the majority of battery cabinet installations.

CAUTION

!

Any battery system should be installed by qualified personnel.

When installing an external battery cabinet that is NOT a Liebert NX battery cabinet, the customer
must provide overcurrent protection. See Table 10 for sizing of protection devices.

Battery Installation

NOTE

When using an external battery supply that is not provided with the UPS, please make
reference to the battery manufacturer’s installation manual for battery installation and
maintenance instructions, available on the manufacturer’s Web site. When replacing batteries,
Liebert recommends that the batteries in external cabinets be the same type used internally in
the NX. See Table 11 for a list of batteries that are approved for use with this product.

3.4.2 Connecting the Batteries

If the NX battery cabinets are installed on a raised floor, the battery power cables and circuit breaker
control cables may be routed to the UPS cabinet via the floor of the cabinet (bottom entry).

If the NX battery cabinets are installed adjacent to one another on a solid floor, these cables may be
passed between the cabinets through lifting slots in the lower sides of the cabinets.

Intertray connections must be made before the battery cabinet may be used.

3.4.3 Installation Considerations

Position—Liebert battery cabinets come in versions specific to either the left or right side of the
UPS. Control wires and power cables are cut to different lengths for the different versions. If the sys­tem includes a matching maintenance bypass cabinet (MBC), the MBC should be mounted to the left
of the UPS (nearest the busbars) and the battery cabinet(s) should be installed to the right of the
UPS. Otherwise, left-side placement of the battery cabinet is preferable.

The battery cabinet(s) are designed to be located conveniently next to each UPS module, and are also
available in stand-alone configurations with painted side panels. The front access design eliminates
side and rear service clearance requirements. Refer to Table 33 for battery cabinet dimensions and
weights.

Bolt-On Cabinets—Matching battery cabinets are designed to bolt onto the side of the UPS module
cabinet. Use bolts that ship with each unit to connect cabinet frames at posts, two places in the front
and two places in the rear.

Service Clearance—Allow front access to the battery cabinet at all times for maintenance and ser­vicing. Electrical codes require that the battery cabinet be installed with no less than 3 feet (1m) of
clearance at the front of the cabinet when operating. Side and rear panels do not require service clear­ance.

Cables—Cables may be run between the cabinets through cutouts in the top of the cabinet, eliminat­ing the need for external conduit runs. Route cables before moving cabinets into final position for bolt­ing together. No top or bottom entry cables are required, except for remotely located cabinets which
require conduits. Refer to Figure 15.

Software—To allow the UPS to accurately display the battery run time, the number of battery cabi­nets must be noted when performing initial startup and setup using the configuration software. This
is to be performed by the Liebert Global Services customer engineer when commissioning the unit.

Casters and Adjustable Stops—The adjustable stops are not designed to bear the full weight of the
cabinet. Lower the stops until they are finger-tight in contact with the floor. Then tighten a small
amount with a wrench (less than two turns) to give a good friction fit. When mounting the battery
cabinet on seismic stands, ensure that the casters are bearing the weight of the cabinet.

Battery Support Tray—Be sure to connect the battery tray support to the front of the cabinet
before sliding a battery tray out for connection or service. Without the support, the battery tray may
fall out of the cabinet. See Figure 16 for details.

3.4.4 Connecting the Battery Cabinet to the UPS

After the battery cabinet equipment has been positioned and secured for operation and the batteries
have been connected, connect the power cables as described below. (See Figure 34.)

1. Verify that all incoming high and low voltage power circuits are de-energized and locked out or
tagged out before installing cables or making any electrical connections.

2. Remove the UPS left side panel to gain access to the equipment ground busbar.

3. Remove the external battery terminal block plate on the lower left side of the UPS behind the
front door.

4. Remove the battery cabinet front panel to gain access to the connection bars.

5. Connect the safety ground and any necessary bonding ground cables to the copper ground busbar.
(example: UPS located on the bottom of the equipment below the power connections).

All cabinets in the UPS system must be connected to the user's ground connection.

NOTE

The grounding and neutral bonding arrangement must be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.

6. Connect the system battery cables from the UPS battery terminals (+ N -) to battery cabinet BCB
(+ N -) as shown in Figure 34. Be sure that the battery connections are made with the right
polarity, and tighten the connections to 44 lb-in. (5 N-m) (M6 Bolt). Do not close the battery circuit
breaker before the equipment has been commissioned.

7. Connect supplied auxiliary control cable to pins J10.2 and J10.3 on the U2 monitoring board (see

2.3 - Dry Contacts). Add a jumper wire between J10.3 and J10.4.

Battery Installation

3.5 Non-Standard Batteries

When batteries other than a matching battery cabinet are used, a remote battery disconnect switch
with overcurrent protection is required per the National Electrical Code. Contact your local Liebert
sales representative about this option.

Install battery racks, cabinets and batteries in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Verify that the battery area has adequate ventilation and battery operating temperature complies
with the manufacturer's specifications and with all applicable national and local codes.

4.3 Bypass Mode

When the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet is in the Bypass mode, it provides an alternate path for power
to the connected equipment. Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited maintenance
or repair, manual activation of the bypass will cause an immediate transfer of the equipment from the
UPS inverter to the bypass source. In this mode, power will still be supplied to the UPS; however, the
load is NOT protected by the UPS.

4.4 Maintenance Mode

When the maintenance bypass cabinet is in the Maintenance mode, it provides an alternate path for
power to the connected equipment. Should the UPS need to be taken out of service for limited mainte­nance or repair. In this mode of operation, no power is supplied to the UPS and the load is NOT pro­tected by the UPS.

4.5 Locating the Cabinet

This Maintenance Bypass Cabinet may be mounted to the left of the UPS or installed as a stand-alone
unit. In either case, ensure that the unit is in a well-ventilated area and that there is clearance for
access to the switches and cable connections as required by national and local codes.

5.0 OPTIONS

5.1 Load Bus Synchronization

The Load Bus Synchronizer (LBS) keeps the output of two independent UPS systems or parallel UPS
systems in synchronization even when the systems are operating in different modes and even when
either or both systems are operating on batteries. When the LBS is used, one UPS system is desig­nated as master, the other as slave.

The LBS option is typically used with dual-corded equipment or with either the Liebert SmartSwitch
or Static Transfer Switch (STS) for single-corded equipment.

5.1.1 Performance Requirements

The DBS operates under the following conditions:

• Both master and slave are on inverter
(either system may be on inverter through the rectifier or on inverter through the batteries)

• Master on inverter, and slave on bypass

• Master on bypass, and slave on inverter

• Master and slave on bypass IF the bypass source is the same for both systems

5.1.2 DBS Cable and Settings

For NX-to-NX dual bus configuration, only one optional LBS cable is required, the built-in LBS will
operate normally without extra LBS control box or interface box. The LBS port is X4 on the parallel
board (M3). The parallel board is on the interior of the NX, above and left of the power electronics; see
Figure 30.

Options

An optional, 9-pin LBS cable is used to connect two UPS systems through each system’s DB9 port on
its parallel board. For two parallel systems, the LBS cable can be mounted between any two units
belonging to different parallel systems. For information about the LBS kit or to order the optional
equipment, see your local Liebert representative.

The LBS cable is connected as illustrated in Figure 21.

5.2 Configuring Parallel System Operation

5.2.1 General

The NX uses intelligent and reliable decentralized technology to achieve parallel operation of two or
more modules of the same rating.

The 1+N system is used to:

• Increase the reliability of the system to ensure adequate power supply to the critical load con­nected.

• Increase serviceability and allow the execution of maintenance operations and reparations with­out affecting the ordinary operating conditions of the system (depending on the redundancy level).

5.2.2 Features of Parallel System

• The hardware and firmware for parallel UPS module operation is standard in the NX, and the
configuration can be set up by changing the settings in configuration software.

• It is easy to install the parallel cables in a ring, providing high reliability and redundancy. And
the intelligent paralleling logic provides the user with maximum flexibility. For example, shut­ting down or starting up the UPS modules in the parallel system can be done in any sequence. If
an overload transfer occurs, the whole system can recover automatically from bypass mode after
the overload is cleared.

• The total load of the parallel system can be queried from each module’s liquid crystal display
screen.

5.2.3 Operating Principles

Redundancy Paralleling

The 1+N parallel redundant system can noticeably improve system reliability. In normal condition,
none of the UPS modules work at full load. That means that even if the load is increased, the system
will not transfer to bypass. And when a UPS module shuts down due to any failure, the remaining
UPS modules can still power and protect the load. When redundancy is lost due to module failure or
load increase, the parallel system will trigger an alarm.

5.2.4 Operation Modes Summary

The parallel system also has operation modes such as normal, battery, bypass and maintenance
bypass. All UPS modules in the 1+N parallel system operate in coordination.

• Normal Mode Operation
The load is powered by the inverters of all the UPS modules in the system. If the frequency of

bypass is within the synchronous range, the inverter will be synchronized with the bypass. Other­wise, the system will operate at nominal frequency.

• Battery Mode Operation
The batteries of all UPS modules power the load through their inverters. The system operates at

nominal frequency.

• Bypass Mode Operation
The condition to transfer to bypass mode is essentially the same as that of single module system.

The bypass of all the UPS modules powers the load.

• Maintenance Bypass Mode Operation
The sequence to transfer to maintenance bypass mode is the same as for transferring a single-

module system. The maintenance bypass switches should be switched on as synchronously as pos­sible. Thus the system can be repaired without interrupting the power supply to critical load.

Appendix

5.3 Installing Parallel System

The basic installation procedure of parallel system is the same as that of single module system. The
following sections introduce only the installation procedures specific to the parallel system.

5.3.1 Conditions for Parallel System

• Each UPS module should have the same rating, the same firmware and hardware version.

• Each UPS module must have the same bypass source.

• The outputs of all UPS modules are connected altogether.

• The main inputs can be from different sources, but the phase rotation sequence of main inputs,
bypass inputs and outputs must be correct and the same.

• The parallel logic cable and load sharing cable must be connected in a ring correctly (see
Figure 23).

5.3.2 Cabinet Installation

Parallel system composed of two or more UPS modules using parallel cabinet

The UPS modules that will form the 1+N system should be placed side-by-side. Each battery cabinet
is placed next to its corresponding UPS module.

The parallel cabinet should be placed in the middle of the system.

5.3.3 Preliminary Checks

Each UPS module should have the same rating, the same firmware and the same hardware version.
Refer to the instructions in 5.3.1 - Conditions for Parallel System.

5.3.4 Protective Devices

For each UPS, refer to Table 10. For each system, refer to Table 31.

32

5.3.5 Power Cables

Wiring of power cables is similar to that of single module system (See 2.1 - Power Cabling). The
bypass sources of all modules should be the same, and the outputs should be connected altogether cor­rectly.

Power cables will be supplied by customer. Power cables to the UPS’s of the 1+N paralleling cabinet
must be routed through either the top or bottom entry access of the UPS.

For systems using a parallel cabinet, see Figures 36 and 38 through 44 for power cable terminations.

NOTE

The length and specifications of power cables including the bypass input cables and UPS
output cables should be the same, thus the load can be shared evenly in bypass mode.

5.3.6 Parallel Control Cables

Parallel System Control Cables

Make the connections listed below on the parallel logic board (M3) inside the NX. (See Figure 30 for
the location of the parallel logic board):

Shielded and double-insulated control cables available in lengths of up to 100 feet (30m) must be
interconnected in a ring configuration between UPS modules as shown below. The ring configuration
ensures high reliability of the control (refer to Figure 23).

See Figure 25 for dry contacts control cable wiring diagram.

5.4 Battery Circuit Breaker Box

The box contains the same battery isolating circuit breaker as mounted in the battery cabinet.

Two battery circuit breaker boxes are available for use in installations where the battery is not
installed in the battery cabinet, in which case the appropriate battery box is fitted as close as possible
to the battery and connected to the UPS equipment as illustrated in Figure 27.

The battery circuit breaker box, is required to protect the battery from overcurrents. It also provides
electrical isolation between the UPS and the battery, permitting technical service personnel to reduce
the risks involved in maintenance work to a minimum.

A separate safety earth must be connected between the UPS unit and circuit breaker box.

Two boxes are available depending on the UPS power rating.
