2.2 Working Principle
2.2.1 Conceptual Diagram
The UPS5000 is an online product. It uses a modular design, which facilitates maintenance
and capacity expansion. The UPS5000 adopts intelligent control. Its power module consists of
a rectifier, inverter, and DC/DC converter. The UPS5000 converts inputs into pure highquality sine wave outputs by using the high-frequency switching technology.

indicates the energy flow direction.
Page 24
UPS5000-E-(360 kVA-480 kVA)
User Manual (40 kVA Power Modules)
In normal mode, the rectifier converts AC power into DC power, then the inverter converts
DC power into high-precision AC outputs. The conversions protect loads from interference
such as input harmonics, glitches, and voltage transients.
Page 25
UPS5000-E-(360 kVA-480 kVA)
User Manual (40 kVA Power Modules)
The UPS automatically transfers to bypass mode upon detecting power module
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.
Page 26
UPS5000-E-(360 kVA-480 kVA)
User Manual (40 kVA Power Modules)
If the mains input is abnormal or the rectifier becomes abnormal, the UPS transfers to battery
mode. The power module obtains DC power from batteries, and the power is converted into
AC output by the inverter.
Page 27
UPS5000-E-(360 kVA-480 kVA)
User Manual (40 kVA Power Modules)
When the UPS works in maintenance bypass mode, the current flows through the
maintenance bypass instead of the power module. You can maintain the circuit inside the
cabinet.

2.2.2.5 ECO Mode
The economic control operation (ECO) mode is an economical working mode, which can be
configured on the LCD or web user interface (WebUI). In ECO mode, when the bypass input
is within the ECO voltage and frequency ranges and other ECO power supply conditions are
met, the UPS works in bypass mode and the inverter is in standby state. When the bypass
voltage is outside 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 high efficiency.

Functions
As a control interface for the entire system, the ECM communicates with each module
and provides a bus to communicate with the dry contact card. The ECM ensures
equalized output currents between modules so that load power is equally shared.
Provides module running information for the MDU.
Controls the running of a single UPS5000 and a parallel system, and reports the
UPS5000 status information to other monitoring modules.
The system provides three types of CAN communication: monitoring CAN
communication, intra-rack parallel CAN communication, and inter-rack parallel CAN
communication.

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).

2.4.4 (Optional) Backfeed Protection Card
Backfeed can cause damage to the UPS, loads, and maintenance personnel. If backfeed
occurs, the backfeed protection card triggers alarm signals, or disconnects the backfeed loop.
The backfeed protection card uses relay contact signals. The signal ports support any power
signals with a voltage of no more than 240 V AC and a current of less than 4 A. For details,
see the UPS5000 Backfeed Protection Card User Manual (03021KQQ).
2.4.5 (Optional) Dry Contact Extended Card
The dry contact extended card provides five signal output ports and five signal input ports.
For details, see the UPS5000 Dry Contact Extended Card User Manual (03021RKN).
2.4.6 Monitoring Interface Card
The FE port resembles the RS485 port. Follow the silk screen when connecting
communications cables as, if the RS485 port is mistaken for the FE port during cable
connection, the WebUI cannot be connected and MDU communication fails. Conversely, if
the FE port is mistaken for the RS485 port during cable connection, RS485
communication fails.
Only once being set will dry contact signals take effect. Set unused dry contact signals to
the unused state on the 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. MDU functions include monitoring of the UPS, allowing users to

2.6 Typical configurations
Table 2-10 Typical UPS configurations
A 1+1 parallel system is a typical configuration. You can set the number of requisite UPSs and
redundant ones on the LCD or WebUI.
2.6.1 Single UPS
This series uses a modular design in which multiple power modules are connected in parallel
to deliver a high loading capacity. If a single power module is faulty, the other power modules
continue working. When the load power is small, even a single UPS can provide redundant
capacity, which ensures high reliability.
2.6.2 Parallel System
In a 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 2-23 Conceptual diagram of an N+X parallel system
2.6.3 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.

After you install the BCB box, adjust the disconnection protection threshold of the end-ofdischarge (EOD) based on backup time to avoid overcurrent disconnection. The default values
are as follows:
1.
If backup time < 1 h, EOD is 1.67 V/cell.
2.
If 1 h ≤ backup time < 3 h, EOD is 1.75 V/cell.
3.
If backup time ≥ 3 h, EOD is 1.80 V/cell.
