Single - Phase Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems
1.0 GENERAL
1.1SUMMARY
This specification defines the electrical and mechanical characteristics and requirements for a continuousduty single-phase, solid-state, uninterruptible power system. The uninterruptible power system, hereafter
referred to as the UPS, will provide high-quality AC power for sensitive electronic equipment loads.

1.3.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.3.1Modes of Operation
The UPS is designed to operate as a line-interactive system in the following modes:
A.Normal - The critical AC load is continuously supplied with filtered power. The battery
B. Voltage Boost/Buck - During input power source abnormalities (sags and swells), the AC
output power is corrected by means of boost (sag correction) or buck (swell correction)
compensation taps. Operation of the compensation taps automatically maintains the proper
output voltage for the connected critical equipment. The compensation taps is designed for
indefinite operation to their limits. Operation of the compensation taps will not discharge the
battery.
C. Recharge - Upon restoration of utility / mains AC power, after a utility / mains AC power
outage and complete or partial battery discharge, the unit automatically restarts and resumes
supplying power to the critical AC load; and the battery charger recharges the battery.
D.Battery - When the input power source exceeds the parameters defined in section 1.3.3.1, the
critical AC load is supplied power by the inverter, which obtains its power from the battery.
Typical detection and transfer time is 4-6 ms.
E. Battery Start- The UPS is capable of starting without input power. The unit starts up and
operates from the battery, with output frequency the same as the last operating frequency.
1.3.2Design Requirements
A. Voltage: Input/output voltage specifications of the UPS are:
B. Output Load Capacity: Maximum specified output load capacity of the UPS, regardless of
load power factor, is:
350VA / 210W500VA / 300W
650VA / 390W1000VA / 600W
C. Internal Battery: The battery consists of valve regulated, non-spillable, maintenance-free,
sealed, lead-acid cells. The battery is user replaceable and hot swappable.
D. Battery Reserve Time: 5 minutes typical at full load with ambient temperature 77°F (25°C).
E. Battery Recharge: The UPS contains a battery recharge rate designed to prolong battery life.
Recharge time is 6 hours typical to 90% capacity after a complete discharge into full resistive
load.
1.3.3Performance Requirements
1.3.3.1 AC Input to UPS
A. Voltage Configuration: The UPS operates at these values without drawing power from the
C. Surge Protection: The 120 VAC units can withstand input surges of up to 570J without
damage per criteria listed in IEEE C62.41, Category A, Level 3. The 230 VAC units can
withstand input surges of up to 660J without damage per criteria listed in EN61000-4-5,
Level 3, Criteria A.
D. Input Connections: The 120 VAC units have an attached input cord 6.0 feet (1.8 meters) in
length, measured between the inside edges of the connectors. The attached input cord has a
NEMA 5-15 plug.
