3 Phase UPS overview

The HP 3 Phase UPS protects your sensitive electronic equipment from the most common power problems including power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise.
Power outages can occur when you least expect it and power quality can be erratic. These power problems have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage hardware - causing hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.
With the HP 3 Phase UPS, you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and guard the integrity of your equipment. The HP 3 Phase UPS is designed for critical applications such as ultra high—density blade servers in a data center environment.
Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the HP 3 Phase UPS unique benefits include:
High-density three-phase input, three-phase output UPS
Scalable to 60 kW (redundant N+1 configuration) by connecting up to six additional parallel UPS
modules. Each UPS in the parallel system connects to a Power Bus Bar pre-installed in the rear of a rack. Racks
can be configured for bottom or top entry A Parallel UPS Card in each paralleled UPS provides connectivity for system metering and operational
mode control. In a parallel system not fully loaded, the system will shift load to UPSs with the strongest batteries or additional ERMs to maximize runtime when on battery. Parallel systems can be configured for capacity or redundancy.
6U UPS height, 3U ERM height
Normal operating mode that minimizes heat generation by operating at typically >98% efficiency
The UPS filters incoming AC power and provides consistent power to your equipment without draining the battery.
For utility line input that exceeds normal operating range, automatic transfer to an online,
double-conversion, high-frequency UPS design with pure sine wave output and power-factor correction
EBM technology that uses advanced battery management to increase battery service life, optimize
recharge time, and provide a warning before the end of useful battery life
Extended runtime with up to four ERMs per UPS
Hot-swappable electronics module and batteries that simplify maintenance by allowing you to replace
them safely without powering down the critical load
Emergency shutdown control through the REPO port
HP UPS Management Module for network connectivity with monitoring and control
Firmware that is service upgradeable through the standard DB-9 communication port
Backed by worldwide agency approvals
Component identification 7
The Power Bus Bar for parallel systems, mounted in the rear of an HP rack, provides the required input and
LED display
output connections for the paralleled UPSs and has a single system-rated input connection. The parallel UPS system can be installed with Output Power Modules or connected to rack-mounted power distribution systems.
Note these guidelines when configuring the UPS standalone unit or parallel system:
There is a maximum of four ERMs per UPS.
Mount ERM(s) for a standalone UPS directly below the UPS or, with rack side panels removed, in an
adjacent rack to the left of the rack containing the UPS.
Mount ERMs for a parallel system in an adjacent rack to the left of the rack containing the UPSs (rack
side panels removed).
For consistent runtimes, each UPS in a parallel system should have the same number of ERMs.
Some load equipment may require phase rotation or phase relationship coordination to ensure proper
operation. Review your equipment manufacturer’s power requirement documents to ensure that your connected equipment operates correctly.

REPO port

WARNING: The REPO circuit is an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. This circuit
must be separated from any hazardous voltage circuits by reinforced insulation.
Component identification 10
CAUTION:
48 S1, “Electrical Installation of the Buildings, Part 4: Protection for Safety, Chapter 46:
Do not connect the REPO port to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation to the
utility is required. The REPO switch must have a minimum rating of 24 Vdc and 20 mA and be a dedicated latching-type switch for the 3 Phase UPS only, no other device or circuit including a single phase UPS. The REPO signal must remain active for at least 250 ms for proper operation.
To ensure that the UPS stops supplying power to the load during any mode of operation, the
input power must be disconnected from the UPS when the EPO function is activated.
NOTE: For Europe, the emergency switch requirements are detailed in Harmonized document
HD-384­Isolation and Switching.”
The UPS includes an isolated REPO port. When properly wired, the REPO feature allows the power at the UPS output receptacles to be switched off from a remote location. When REPO is activated, the UPS powers down all converters, de-energizes all system relays, trips the UPS battery circuit breaker, and powers down within 10 to 15 seconds. However, the unit continues to have logic power (the display is still active) and is not fully powered down until input power is disconnected from the unit. This feature can be used for powering down the load and the UPS by thermal relay, for example in the event of room overtemperature.
To use this feature, the REPO port must be connected to a remote switch (not supplied). The REPO switch is used in conjunction with a main disconnect device that removes the AC source from the input of the UPS. When the switch is activated:
The REPO feature immediately powers down protected devices and does not utilize the orderly
shutdown procedure initiated by power management software.
The REPO feature shuts down UPS units operating under either utility or battery power.
Keep the REPO connector installed in the REPO port on the UPS even if the REPO function is not needed. The REPO connection are listed below:
Wire function Terminal wire size rating Suggested wire size
L1 L2
There are two REPO positions, normally-open (NO) or normally-closed (NC). The pins on the NC REPO connector are connected together. When this connection is open, the logic circuitry completely shuts down the UPS, thus preventing the power from supplying the load. To use NC REPO, remove the jumper wire and connect an NC external switch. To use NO REPO, connect an NO external switch. For REPO locations, see Connecting REPO port
.
NOTE: If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no power
is available to the load devices until utility power is restored and the UPS has been manually powered up.
To restore power to the load devices after the REPO feature is activated, press the Power On button after the AC source is reconnected to the UPS.
IMPORTANT: Pressing and holding the Power On button without utility present normally initiates
a battery start and the UPS assumes the load. However, if the Power On button is pressed and a REPO is detected, battery start is inhibited and the UPS is not able to assume the load. The electronics module fan spins and the Alarm LED and an audible alarm are active as long as the Power On button is held.

Installing in a parallel configuration

WARNING: This equipment must be installed by a licensed electrician or trained service
A UPS connected to a Bus Bar with a paralleling line cord is identified as a member of the parallel system. The Bus Bar connects the line and load to a common power bus. A parallel system can be configured for capacity or redundancy.
The UPS models in a parallel configuration require a dedicated branch circuit that meets the following requirements:
Circuit with overcurrent protection, depending on parallel configuration:
Number of UPSs in parallel system
3 4 5 6 (N+1 system)
Three-phase, 4-wire plus ground, 208 Y/120 V nominal (NA) or 400 Y/230 V nominal, 380-415 VAC
personnel familiar with high-power circuitry
HP 3 Phase NA HP 3 Phase INTL
150 A 75 A 200 A 100 A 225 A 125 A 225 A 160 A
acceptable (INTL)
50/60 Hz
The breaker must be wall-mounted and be readily accessible to the operator
