High Leakage Current
Power Cable
Ground a device before powering it on. Otherwise, personal injury or device damage may
occur.
If a "high leakage current" tag is attached to the panel of the device, ground the protective
ground terminal on the device enclosure before connecting the AC power supply to
prevent electric shocks.
The UPS can generate high leakage currents. Using a circuit breaker that has the leakage
current protection function is not recommended.
Do not install or remove power cables when the device is on. Transient contact between the
core of the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arcs or sparks, which may
cause fire or damage eyesight.
Before moving or reconnecting the UPS, disconnect the mains and batteries, open the
output power distribution switch, and wait a period of at least 5 minutes after the UPS
completely powers off. Otherwise, electric shocks may occur.
Before installing or removing the power cable, open the power switch.
Before connecting a power cable, check that its label is correct.
If a fuse needs replacing, ensure the new fuse is of the same type and specifications so that the
system runs safely.
Backfeed Protection Dry Contact
The UPS can be configured with a backfeed protection dry contact to work with an external
automatic circuit breaker, preventing the voltage from flowing back to input terminals over
static bypass circuits. If device installation and maintenance personnel do not need to use
backfeed protection, paste labels on the external bypass input circuit breakers informing that
the circuit is connected to the UPS. Disconnect the device from the UPS before performing
operations on the circuit.
Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity generated by human bodies may damage the electrostatic-sensitive
components on boards, for example, the large-scale integrated (LSI) circuits.
Wear a pair of ESD gloves or a well-grounded ESD wrist strap when touching the device
or handling boards or application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
When holding a board, hold its edge without touching any components, especially chips.
Package boards with ESD packaging materials before storing or transporting them.
Do not place the product under areas prone to water leakage, such as near air conditioner
vents, ventilation vents, or feeder windows of the equipment room. Ensure that there is
no condensation inside the product or equipment room. Ensure that no liquid enters the
product. Otherwise, short circuits will occur and may result in serious injury or death.
If any liquid is detected inside the product, immediately disconnect the power supply and
contact the administrator.
1.3 Operating Environment
The UPS operating environment must meet the requirements for the climate indicator,
mechanically active substance indicator, and chemically active substance indicator in ETSI
EN 300 019-1 class 3.6.
Do not expose the equipment or perform any operations in an environment with flammable or
explosive gas, or smoke.

extreme danger. Strictly obey the operating environmental requirements specified in related
use manuals when using or storing the device.
Do not use the UPS in the following environments:
Environment containing flammable gases, corrosive gases, abnormal vibrations, and
impacts.
Non-confined environment near the ocean (0–3.7 km) and indoor or semi-indoor
environment where the temperature and humidity are not controllable, such as a simple
equipment room near the ocean, citizen house, garage, corridor, direct ventilation cabinet,
house with only the roof, railway station platform, gymnasium, aquarium, and so on.
1.4 Battery Safety
This section describes precautions for operating batteries.
Before operating batteries, carefully read the safety precautions to ensure correct battery
handling and connection is performed, and personal safety is managed.
To ensure battery safety and efficient battery management, use the batteries delivered with
the UPS. Huawei shall not be responsible for battery damage caused by using non-Huawei
batteries for Huawei UPSs.
Ensure lead-acid battery handling is in accordance with local regulations.
Incorrect handling of batteries may cause hazards. When operating batteries, avoid
battery short circuits and electrolyte overflow or leakage.
Electrolyte overflow may damage the device by corroding metal parts and circuit boards,
and ultimately damaging the circuit boards.
Short circuits caused by incorrect operations may cause serious injuries due to high
power of batteries.
Do not reversely connect positive and negative battery terminals.
Use batteries of the specified type. Otherwise, the batteries may be damaged.
Check battery connections periodically to ensure that all screws are securely tightened.
Install or store batteries in clean, cool, and dry environments.
Do not decompose, transform, or damage batteries. Otherwise, battery short circuit,
electrolyte leakage, and even personal injury may occur.
Preventative Measures
When installing and maintaining batteries, pay attention to the following points:
Use dedicated insulated tools.
Take measures to protect eyes, such as using eye protection devices.
Avoid skin contact with electrolyte overflow. Wear rubber gloves and protective
clothing.
When handling a battery, ensure that its electrodes always point upward. Do not tilt or
overturn batteries.
Switch off the power supply during installation and maintenance.
Short Circuit
Battery short circuits may cause personal injury. The high transient current generated by a
short circuit may release a surge of power and cause a fire.
To avoid battery short circuits, do not maintain batteries while they are in use.
Do not use unsealed lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore,
place and secure lead-acid batteries horizontally to prevent fire or corrosion.
Store lead-acid batteries in a place with good ventilation, and take fire safety precautions.
Battery Temperature
High temperature may result in battery distortion, damage, and electrolyte overflow.
Install or store batteries far away from fire sources and heating devices such as
transformers. Never burn batteries.
If the battery temperature exceeds 60°C, check the battery for electrolyte overflow. If
electrolyte overflows, handle the leakage immediately.
Electrolyte Leakage
In the case of electrolyte leakage, counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte immediately.
When moving or handling a battery whose electrolyte leaks, note that the leaking electrolyte
may harm human bodies. If the electrolyte leaks, use the following substances to counteract
and absorb the leaking electrolyte:
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda): NaHCO3
Sodium carbonate (soda): Na2CO3
When using substances to counteract and absorb electrolytes, strictly follow the guidelines
provided by the battery manufacturer.
If any personnel are exposed to battery electrolyte, wash the exposed area with clean water
immediately and seek medical advice if the situation is serious.
Perform operations in accordance with all instructional symbols on the device.
Take caution to avoid injury when moving heavy objects.
When moving or lifting a device, hold the handle or bottom of the device.
When transporting a device using a pallet truck, the forks must be properly positioned to
ensure that the device does not topple. No excessive tilt or jolt is allowed during the
transportation, and the maximum tolerance of the tilting angle during loading and
unloading is 15°. To avoid toppling, secure the device to the pallet truck by using ropes
before moving, and assign persons to watch out the device during movement.
Move the cabinet with caution. Any bumping or falling may damage the device.
Handling Fans
Figure 1-2 Tilting angle of a cabinet
Do not insert fingers or boards into the operating fans until the fans are switched off, and have
stopped running.
Signal cables must be bound separately from strong-current cables and high-voltage cables.
Laying Out Cables
When the temperature is low, a violent strike or vibrations may damage the cable sheathing.
To ensure cable safety, comply with the following requirements:
Cables can be laid, or installed, only when the temperature is higher than 0°C (32°F).
Handle cables with caution, especially at lower temperatures.
Before laying out cables that have been stored in temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F),
move the cables to an environment that is at the requisite ambient temperature. Store
them in this environment for at least 24 hours.
Do not drop the cables directly from the vehicle.
As the insulation layer of a cable may age, or be damaged from high temperatures,
ensure a sufficient distance between cables and the DC busbars, shunts, and fuses.
Cables prepared by the customer should be flame resistant. Cables must not be routed
behind the air exhaust vent of the cabinet. The air exhaust vent should not be blocked by
any object.
Before connecting a cable, ensure that the cable and cable label to be used meet the actual
installation requirements.
The UPS5000-A is an online double-conversion UPS that uses digital signal processing (DSP)
technology and features high efficiency and high power density. Figure 2-2 shows a
conceptual diagram for the UPS.
When the UPS works in normal mode, the rectifier converts the AC input voltage into the DC
voltage, which is then raised to the bus voltage by the power factor correction (PFC) circuit.
Then one part of the voltage passes through the DC-DC circuit to charge the battery string,
and the other part is converted by the inverter into AC voltage outputs. The two conversions
ensure high-precision and high-quality output voltages, protecting loads from interferences
such as input harmonics, burrs, and voltage transients. Figure 2-3 shows the conceptual
diagram of the UPS working in normal mode.
If the inverter does not start or is manually shut down after the UPS is powered on, the bypass
supplies power to loads. The UPS automatically transfers from normal mode to bypass mode
if it detects power unit overtemperature, overload, or other faults that may cause the inverter
to shut down. The bypass power supply is not protected by the UPS which means it may be
affected by mains outage, and incorrect AC voltage or frequency. Figure 2-4 shows a
conceptual diagram of the UPS working in bypass mode.
Figure 2-4 UPS conceptual diagram in bypass mode
2.2.2.3 Battery Mode
If the AC input voltage is not normal, the UPS transfers to battery mode to obtain power from
batteries. The inverter then converts the power into AC outputs. Figure 2-5 shows a
conceptual diagram of the UPS working in battery mode.
The current flows through the maintenance bypass, instead of the power unit or bypass unit.
UPS maintenance can be performed in this mode.
Figure 2-6 UPS conceptual diagram in maintenance bypass mode
2.2.2.5 ECO Mode
The economy control operation (ECO) mode is an energy-saving mode, which you can
configure on the liquid crystal display (LCD) or web user interface (WebUI). In ECO mode,
when the bypass input voltage is within the ECO voltage range, the bypass combined switch
turns on, and the bypass supplies power. When the bypass input voltage is beyond the ECO
voltage range, the UPS transfers from bypass mode to normal mode. In bypass mode or
normal mode, the rectifier keeps working and charges batteries using a charger. The ECO
mode delivers a higher efficiency. Figure 2-7 shows a conceptual diagram of the UPS working
in ECO mode.
In a standard configuration, the control unit consists of two energy control modules (ECMs),
one dry contact card, and one monitoring interface card. The four cards are hot swappable.
One subrack is reserved above the dry contact card. A backfeed protection card or dry contact
extended card can be inserted into this subrack.
Figure 2-14 Signal panel on the control unit
2.3.3.2 ECM
The control unit consists of two ECMs in active/standby mode. Each ECM provides one bus
synchronization controller (BSC) port and one parallel port, as shown in Figure 2-15.
This port is used in a dual-bus system to balance output frequencies and
phases between UPS systems, ensuring that two buses can switch with
each other.
BSC cables are hot-swappable.

The dry contact interface card takes effect only after it is set on the monitoring system. Set the
unused dry contact signal to the unused status.
Set the EPO port to NO or NC as required.
When multiple UPSs are paralleled, all dry contact signals to be used need to connect to each UPS.
Single cables require dual-insulated twisted cables. If the length of a power cable is within 25–50 m,
its cross-sectional area must be 0.5 mm2 to 1.5 mm2.
Functions
The dry contact card allows the UPS to detect and manage the switch status of the battery
system (including the external battery switch) and implement remote emergency power-off
(EPO).
The FE port resembles the RS485 port. Therefore, follow the silk screen when you connect
communications cables. If you mistake the RS485 port as the FE port during cable
connection, the WebUI and MDU communication fails. If you mistake the FE port as the
RS485 port during cable connection, RS485 communication fails.
If MDU communication fails, the "Comm. failure" message is displayed on the LCD,
screen switching is disabled, the buzzer buzzes, and the Fault indicator is red. After you
rectify the fault, the LCD recovers, and the alarm is cleared.
Dry contact signals take effect after you set them. Set unused dry contact signals to the
unused state on the WebUI or LCD.
In a parallel system, ensure that used dry contacts properly connect to each UPS.
The monitoring interface card provides external ports as well as monitoring and control
functions for the MDU. The ports include the ambient temperature and humidity sensor port,
battery monitoring unit (BMU) port, FE port, battery temperature monitoring port, and
network management port. Interworking with the monitoring interface card, the MDU
monitors the UPS, configures parameters, delivers commands, reports information, and
displays the UPS key information and parameters on the LCD.

The UPS5000-A is a high frequency tower-mounted UPS. It uses a unit-level design to handle
power functionality, and provides an embedded maintenance bypass switch to ensure
maintenance with power on. Figure 2-2 shows the conceptual diagram of a single UPS.
In an N+X parallel system, the mains input, bypass input, and AC output terminals between
cabinets are connected in parallel. Energy control modules (ECMs) on each UPS are
connected over parallel cables. The parallel connections synchronize the UPS outputs to
supply power to loads. If one UPS fails, the other UPSs continue supplying power to loads.
Figure 2-26 shows a conceptual diagram of an N+X parallel system.

2.4.3 Dual-Bus System
A dual-bus system consists of two independent UPS systems. Each of these UPS systems in
turn consists of one or more UPSs connected in parallel. Of the two UPS systems, one is a
master system, and the other is a slave system. This design makes the dual-bus system highly
reliable and suitable for loads with multiple input terminals. An optional static transfer switch
(STS) can be installed to start the bus synchronization controller (BSC). The UPS systems
work in normal mode or bypass mode. Figure 2-27 shows a conceptual diagram of a dual-bus
system.

3.1.1.2 Installation Environment
Do not install the UPS in high temperature, low temperature, or damp environments.
Install the UPS away from water sources, heat sources, and flammable or explosive
materials. Keep the UPS away from direct sunlight, dust, volatile gases, corrosive
materials, and air dense with salt particles.
Do not install the UPS in environments with conductive metal scraps in the air.
The optimal operating temperatures for valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA
batteries) are 20–30°C. Operating temperatures higher than 30°C shorten the battery
lifespan and operating temperatures lower than 20°C reduce the battery backup time.
3.1.1.3 Installation Clearances
Reserve sufficient clearances around the cabinet to facilitate operations and ventilation:
Reserve a clearance of at least 800 mm from the front of the cabinet.
Reserve a clearance of at least 500 mm from the top of the cabinet.
Reserve a clearance of at least 500 mm at the rear of the cabinet. If you need to perform
operations at the rear, keep a clearance of at least 800 mm.

times.
5.
When the mains input and bypass input share a power source, configure both types of input power
cables as mains input power cables. The cables listed in Table 3-3 are used only when the following
requirements are met:
Routing mode: Routed over the ladder or bracket in a single layer (the routing mode for DC cables is
F in IEC60364-5-52 and the routing mode for AC cables is E in IEC60364-5-52).
The input front-end and output back-end circuit breakers recommended in Table 3-5are for reference
only.
If multiple loads are connected, specifications for branch circuit breakers must not exceed the
recommended specifications.
The circuit breaker selection principle is to protect loads and cables, and the cascading principle is to
realize specific protection.

3.2 Single UPS Installation
Context
UPSs in standard configuration and full configuration have the same installation procedures
and cable connection modes. This section uses UPSs in full configuration as an example.
When you install the UPS and connect cables, do not step on the front door baffle plate and
the door support at the bottom of the cabinet to prevent paint flake-off and deformation, as
shown in Figure 3-9. Otherwise, the front door will not be properly closed.
The marking-off template is delivered with the UPS and is placed at the top of the UPS.
Step 1 Determine the cabinet installation position on the ground according to cabinet mounting holes
(ground installation) on the marking-off template. Figure 3-10 and Figure 3-11 show the
marking-off template. Figure 3-12 and Figure 3-13 show the hole dimensions.

Combining the Power Cabinet and Bypass Cabinet
The power cabinet and bypass cabinet are separately delivered. Before installing the UPS,
combine the power cabinet and bypass cabinet. Before combining the cabinets, check that
fittings are complete. Table 3-6 and Table 3-7 list the fittings.
Step 2 Use a pallet truck to move the cabinet to the cabinet to the expansion bolt holes on the ground.
The power cabinet is on the left, and the bypass cabinet is on the right.
When you align the power cabinet with the bypass cabinet, adjust the position of the bypass cabinet by
using a pallet truck so that the front doors of the two cabinets are aligned with each other.
Step 3 Install the two bottom connecting plates on power cabinet 1 and its adjacent bypass cabinet.
The method is the same for the 600 kVA UPS and 800 kVA UPS. Figure 3-17 uses the 600
kVA UPS as an example.
Step 5 Open the front door of the bypass cabinet, and install the two middle connecting plates on
power cabinet 1 and its adjacent bypass cabinet. Secure the 600 kVA UPS by using M6 x 20
screws, and secure the 800 kVA UPS by using M6 x 30 screws. The method is the same for
the 600 kVA UPS and 800 kVA UPS. Figure 3-19 uses the 600 kVA UPS as an example.
After the power cabinet is aligned with the bypass cabinet, secure the connecting plate between the two
cabinets by using M6 screws to minimize the gap in between.
Figure 3-19 Installing connecting plates
Step 6 Use M12 x 60 expansion bolts to secure the cabinet to the expansion bolt holes on the ground
and tighten the expansion bolts, as shown in Figure 3-20 (using a power cabinet as an
example).
Step 9 Remove rear panels from power cabinet 1 and its adjacent bypass cabinet.
Step 10 Remove the switch extension pole.
Figure 3-24 Removing the switch extension pole (800 kVA)
For an 800 kVA model, the switch extension pole in the left bypass cabinet must be removed to
facilitate cabinet combination. The switch extension pole in the right bypass cabinet can be removed
or reserved, which has no impact.
For a 600 kVA model, removing the switch extension poles or not does not affect cabinet
combination or cable connection.
Figure 3-25 Removing the switch extension poles (600 kVA)
The removed screws, washers, and switch extension poles should be kept in good
condition and reinstalled after cables are connected.
Keep the dowel leveled, as shown in Figure 3-24 and Figure 3-25. Insert the switch
extension pole until it is fully inserted, place the spacer, and tighten the slotted screw.
Step 11 Install soft connecting copper bars between power cabinet 1 and its adjacent bypass cabinet.
The following describes the methods for the 600 kVA UPS and 800 kVA UPS separately.
