User Manual SG Series 400 & 500 UL S2

3 INTRODUCTION

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides the power for critical loads that need a reliable, continuous, disturbance free supply.

In case the power provided by the Utility fails, or exceeds the permitted tolerances, the power to supply the Load is provided by the Battery for the specified time at the rated Load (or longer at a reduced Load) or until the Utility power returns.

SG Series 400 & 500 is a true double conversion VFI (Voltage Frequency Independent) UPS system where the Load is continuously supplied by the Inverter through the Rectifier.

In case of trouble on the Inverter Output Voltage, or when overload or short-circuit on the output occur, the Load is instantly transferred to the Utility via the Automatic Bypass.

The UPS automatically returns to normal mode when the failure condition is restored.

Key features:

More Critical equipment supported

Rated at 0.9 Power Factor, SG Series 400 & 500 delivers more real power than other UPS in the market.

With today’s trend toward power factor corrected loads, SG Series 400 & 500 can support more total Load than any other UPS available, allowing you to support a greater number of today’s enterprise computing Power Factor Corrected (PFC) equipment.

No single point of failure

Redundant Parallel Architecture (RPA) is an exclusive GE technology.

With RPA, SG Series 400 & 500 UPS are controlled in a true peer-to-peer configuration where all critical elements and functions (including Bypass) are redundant.

SG Series 400 & 500 is designed to be the most reliable power protection system available on the market today.

High Efficiency

Using IGBT technology and Space Vector Modulation (SVM) strategy, SG Series 400 & 500 offers low output voltage distortion and provides efficiencies up to 93%.

Fully digital

Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Flash memory and SVM strategy, are the technology corner stones of new age of power quality and power reliability.

Extremely flexible

Tailor made power protection to meet your individual installation requirements; SG Series 400 & 500 offers various options like input harmonic filters and our comprehensive GE Power Diagnostic software suite for mission control and data protection to cover all your application needs.

User Manual SG Series 400 & 500 UL S2

4 DESCRIPTION

4.1BLOCK DIAGRAM AND MAIN ELEMENTS

Fig. 4.1-1 Block diagram

The SG Series 400 & 500 system can be divided into the following main elements:

Control System

SG Series 400 & 500 is designed with microprocessor-controlled signal processing circuits.

The interface between the operator and the unit is provided by the monitoring system on the front panel. This monitoring system consists of an active mimic diagram, a keyboard and a backlit display.

Rectifier

The standard Rectifier consists of a 6-pulse SCR-bridge, which converts the 3-phase Utility Voltage into a controlled and regulated DC-voltage.

This regulated DC-voltage is used to supply power to the Inverter, and to provide charging power to the

Battery.

Inverter

The Inverter converts the DC voltage into a three-phase AC-voltage with constant amplitude and frequency, which is completely independent and isolated from the AC-input voltage.

Automatic Bypass

The Automatic Bypass consists of a static semiconductor-switch (SSM: Static Switch Module), used to provide an uninterrupted transfer of the Load from Inverter to Utility.

Back-feed Protection

All SG Series UPS's are equipped with an automatic system for the protection against voltage back feeding towards Utility, through the Bypass (Applied Standard IEC 62040-1).

This protection works automatically by opening contactor K6 and eventually K7, and acts in case of internal defects of the system, or due to wrong manipulations on the Manual Bypass Q2 (option).

Manual Bypass (option)

The Manual Bypass consists of a pair of manual switches (Q1 and Q2), which removes the UPS from the Load for maintenance, while still supplying the Load with power directly from the Utility.

Battery

The Battery supplies the DC power to the Inverter when the Utility is out of accepted tolerances.

User Manual SG Series 400 & 500 UL S2

4.2OPERATION MODES

4.2.1 Normal operation mode

 

During normal operation, the Rectifier converts

 

input AC power to DC.

 

The DC power provides input power for the

 

Inverter and charging power for the Battery.

 

The Inverter converts the DC power to continuous

 

and regulated AC power, which supplies the

 

critical load.

 

The control panel reports the Battery charge

 

status and the expected backup time with the

Fig. 4.2.1-1 Block diagram normal operation mode

actual load.

 

4.2.2 eBoost™ operation mode (option)

eBoost

 

 

e

high efficiency (up to 99%)

 

Boost

fast power transfer (< 4ms)

 

When the eBoost™ Operation Mode is selected,

 

and the Utility Power is available, the Load is

 

normally powered through the Automatic

 

Bypass.

 

 

When the Utility Voltage is detected out of the

Fig. 4.2.2-1 Energy flow in eBoost™ Operation Mode

prescribed tolerances, the Load is automatically

transferred to the Inverter.

 

When the Utility recovers, the Load returns to the Automatic Bypass after a variable time defined by the control unit.

The eBoost™ Operation Mode can be configured directly by the user for scheduled activation, considering the Utility reliability and criticality of the Load.

The selection between the two operation modes “VFI Mode and eBoost™ Operation Mode”, or switching between operation modes at required time, can be done through the UPS control panel (see Section 7.4 / eBoost).

NOTE !

The eBoost™ Operation Mode is available only if enabled at the factory or by a GE GLOBAL SERVICES FIELD ENGINEER.

User Manual SG Series 400 & 500 UL S2

4.2.3 Utility failure operation

 

When the Utility is no longer within acceptable

 

tolerances, the Battery will provide the DC power to the

 

Inverter.

 

The Inverter will maintain continuous AC power to the

 

Load until the Battery Voltage reaches the lower limit of

 

the Inverter operation capability.

 

During the discharge, the LCD screen displays the

 

estimated time the Battery can support the critical Load.

 

Prior to the Battery completely discharging, the "stop

 

operation" alarm (shutdown imminent) warns the

Fig. 4.2.3-1 Block diagram Utility Failure operation

operator that the Battery is almost discharged and the

 

UPS is about to shut down.

 

In case of parallel operation

With a parallel system for power capacity (see Section 4.3)

With the Bypass Utility power available, a low Battery warning on any unit will cause the Load to be transferred to Utility (after a selectable time delay).

With Bypass Utility power not available, a low Battery warning on any unit will start the “stop operation” timer (adjustable). The Load will shut down at the end of the “stop operation” time period.

With a parallel system for redundancy (see Section 4.3)

When a Battery low warning occurs on a unit not necessary to support the present load, this unit will shut down after a timeout period (selectable). The Load is shared between the other units.

As the warning occurs on one unit necessary to support the present load, the system starts the "stop operation" timeout (selectable).

The Load will shut down at the end of the “stop operation” time period.

4.2.4

Utility recovery operation

 

As soon as the AC input power recovers, the Rectifier will

 

 

start automatically, supplying DC power to the Inverter

 

and recharging the Battery.

 

If the Inverter was previously shut down due to low

 

Battery, the Load will be initially powered by Utility

 

through the Automatic Bypass.

 

When the Battery is recharged enough to ensure a

 

minimum time of operation with the present load, the

 

Inverter

will start automatically and the Load will be

Fig. 4.2.4-1 Block diagram Utility recovery operation

transferred back to the Inverter.

 

In case of parallel operation

When the AC input power recovers, the Rectifiers will start up sequentially, according to their number in the parallel system. This minimizes the initial inrush current.

The Inverters will start up automatically, but only when the Battery has recharged enough for a minimum runtime with the present load.

When enough Inverters to supply the Load have been restarted, the Load will be transferred from the Automatic Bypass back to the Inverter output.

In normal operation, the Load is supplied by the

 

Inverter.

 

When the control system detects a fault in the

 

Inverter, an overload condition or a short-circuit

 

condition, the Automatic Bypass will transfer the

 

critical Load to the Utility without interruption.

 

When the Inverter recovers, or the overload or

 

short-circuit condition is corrected, the Load will

 

be automatically transferred back to the Inverter.

 

If the UPS is unable to return to normal mode

 

following an automatic transfer to Bypass mode,

Fig. 4.2.5-1 Block diagram Automatic Bypass

an alarm condition will be initiated.

 

A Manual Bypass (operator initiated) will not be

 

considered as an alarm condition.

 

In case of parallel operation

Each unit has its own internal Bypass.

These units are continuously exchanging information, enabling all of the internal Bypass circuits in a parallel system to operate simultaneously.

If the Inverter of a unit fails, its Bypass circuit remains available to the Parallel System.

It is excluded only if the unit is separated from the common bus by opening its output switch Q1.

4.2.6 Manual Bypass (option)

The Manual Bypass circuit consists of Q1 and Q2 manual switches, which permits transfer of the Load directly to the unconditioned AC power without interruption, leaving the UPS available for maintenance.

4.3PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATION

4.3.1 Introduction to the parallel system

Two or more equal power units can be paralleled to increase the output power (paralleling for capacity) or to improve the overall reliability of an UPS system (paralleling for redundancy).

The outputs of parallel units are connected to a common power bus, and in normal operation the units connected on the parallel bus share the Load equally.

The modular concept of SG Series 400 & 500 allows parallel operation of up to 6 units, without using paralleling switchgear, external bypass circuits or common control circuitry (see Fig. 4.3.1-1).

Parallel units for power capacity

Several units can be paralleled in order to achieve output power greater than the maximum power of a single unit.

The maximum total power shared between the paralleled units is equal to the total installed nominal power.

In the event of a failure of one unit, the power supplied by the UPS system becomes insufficient and the Load will be transferred to the Utility Bypass source.

Parallel units for redundancy

The nominal power rating of the n+1 out of n redundant paralleled modules must be equal to or greater than the required Load power.

The Load will be equally shared by the n units connected on the output bus.

Should one of the n paralleled units trip Off-line, the remaining (n+1) modules will supply the load, maintaining conditioned power to the critical load.

From this results higher reliability and security for the Load plus a higher MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures).

4.3.2 Features of RPA parallel system

The SG Series 400 & 500 Parallel System is designed to provide a complete Redundant Parallel Architecture, and is free from common equipment.

Not only the Inverters are redundant, but also the Bypass functions are designed with redundant modular concept.

When one UPS needs maintenance or service, the Load is powered by the other units supplying the

Load bus.

The redundant communication bus to which all units are connected keeps each unit informed about the status of all the other units.

The control panel located on each unit allows controlling and monitoring the status of this unit.

4.3.3 System control

A high-speed redundant, serial communication bus guarantees the exchange of data and thus the communication between the CPU's of each unit.

Each module controls it's own function and operational status and communicates with all other modules, in order to act or react if necessary, adapting it to the new conditions.

4.3.4 Synchronization

All units are identical, but one unit is arbitrarily selected as the reference and all the other units synchronize to this unit, which in turn, synchronizes to the Utility Bypass voltage, as long as the later is within tolerances.

In case of reference failure, another unit in the parallel system is automatically chosen to take over the reference role.

The Bypass Input for all the units of the parallel system must be supplied from the same AC source (no phase shift allowed between them).

4.3.5 Load sharing

On each unit of the parallel system, Inverter Output Voltage and Current are measured and applied to a Load sharing bus.

An eventual difference between the units is therefore automatically equalized.

NOTE !

It is strongly recommended that no transformers, automatic circuit breakers or fuses should be inserted between the unit’s output and the Load common bus bars.

However, it is recommended that a disconnect or isolation switch be inserted.

4.4RECTIFIERS PARALLELED ON THE SAME BATTERY

NOTE !

A parallel system with a Common Battery for two or more Rectifiers, requires a particular installation and adequate setting of some parameters, (accessible only through password), and can therefore only be done by a qualified engineer from GE.

Usually each Rectifier-Inverter Unit runs with its own Battery.

In case of parallel units are running with a Common Battery (max. 4 UPS - see Fig 4.4-1), the sharing circuit between individual Rectifier is integrated in the communication bus of the system in order to assure an equal sharing of the Rectifiers output currents.

1 – Rectifier

2 – Inverter

3 – Automatic Bypass

4 – Manual Bypass

5 – Utility Power

6 – Load Bus Bar

7 – External Battery Fuse

8 – Battery

Fig. 4.4-1 Diagram RPA system with Rectifiers on Common Battery

Pay attention to the following recommendations:

The units delivered for this functioning mode needs a special parameters setting, so they must be prepared in advance before the installation.

The installation must be performed only with the UPS system must be completely shut down.

The AC Rectifiers input power (5) must be the same, with clockwise phase rotation for each unit.

Each Rectifier must be set for the same floating DC voltage and the same Battery current limitation.

It is mandatory to install the fuses / MCCB (7) on each line connecting the Rectifiers to the common Battery for maintenance / safety reasons.

In case one must be powered down for maintenance, switch-OFF the concerned unit before open the DC fuses / MCCB on the Battery line (7).

It is mandatory to connect an external NO free contact “Battery Fuses” to the UPS and to enable the function by setting the parameter (see Section 4.1 of the “Installation Guide”).

If an emergency generator set supply the UPS, and the free contact “Generator ON” is connected to the Customer interface, connect a separate NO free contact on each parallel unit.

The parameters enabling the Battery test, both manual and automatic, must be set in the same mode on all the units having the Rectifiers on Common Battery.

Do not connect the temperature sensor for automatic battery floating voltage compensation.

Do not enable the function Boost charge (parameter 87).
