1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 System Description
The role of the pa rallel-redundant multi-module UPS system is to supply uninterruptible, clean power to the crit­ical load. It maintains a full-voltage, low-distortion output, even if the utility source power sags or becomes dis­torted.
If there is an outage of the source power, the UPS maintains power to the load until an alternate source of power is activated, or until the original power source is restored. If input AC power is not restored, the UPS maintains the load (with the battery plant) long enough that the critical equipment can be shut down in an orderly manner. The Series 600T UPS module displays the rate of battery discharge and calculates the amount of battery time remaining based on the actual connected load. The time that the battery will maintain the load depends on the capacity of the battery backup plant and the size of the load.
The system control logic automatically manages critical bus operation. System logic is resident in Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for precise control and improved reliability.
If the critical load current exceeds the rated load of the Series 600T UPS system, the control logic determines the magnitude of the overload and reacts appropriately. Overloads are usually the result of inrush current require­ments. The UPS system supports loads that are 150% of the rated load for up to 30 seconds and 125% of the rated load for up to ten minutes. If the system is operating in the non-redundant mode (e.g., a UPS module is off line), the overload limits are automatically adjusted.
Figure 1 Multi-Module UPS, 65-80 kVA (left) and 100-500 kVA (right)
If the load surpasses the overload capacity of the UPS, the load is automatically transferred to bypass without interruption. When the load returns to within the UPS rating, it is either automatically or manually returned

(retransferred) to the UPS. How and when the load is returned to the UPS depends on several factors: how long the overload lasted, how many overload conditions occurred before transfer, whether there is an imminent failure of any part of the UPS, e tc. Refer to 3.4 - Automatic Operations.
In the unlikely event of a fault within the UPS, the SCC control logic, which continuously monitors all critical circuits within the UPS system, transfers the load to bypass without interruption and simultaneously sets off local and remote alarms. If a fault is detected in an individual UPS module, that module is automatically disconnected from the critical bus and shut down. A Module Off Line status message will appear at the SCC display. The module can be manually returned to service when the fault has been corrected.
If the multi-module UPS system is operating in the redundant mode (at least one extra module is available for the connected critical load), the load will remain on the UPS system if one individual module is disconnected from the critical bus (off line). If the UPS system is operating in the non-redundant mode, the load will be automati­cally transferred to bypass if a module goes off line.
The Series 600T UPS display system provides precise monitoring of the UPS, fast alarm response, and quick troubleshooting. For easy manual operations, menu-driven software provides access to several step-by-step help screens. All operator functions are performed using menu-prompted displays and a minimum number of operator controls. The System Control Cabinet includes external communication capability with both automatic dial-out and dial-in features for early warning and diagnosis of abnormal conditions.
The system software allows the operator, or Liebert Global Services, to enter application specific information. Overload, overvoltage, battery discharge, and shutdown limits can be set by the operator. In effect, the software is tailored for each site.
The UPS system protects critical equipment from source power disturbances and outages, load faults, and UPS malfunctions. This triple protection virtually eliminates computer and computing equipment downtime as a result of utility source power problems.

1.2 Reliability
Reliability is the most important design goal for Uninterruptible Power Systems. Liebert Series 600 UPS systems have demonstrated reliability by achieving a field-proven critical bus MTBF in e xcess of one million hours. In addition, our Quality Assurance program is certified to the requirements of ISO 9001 standards.
Liebert Large UPS systems are ETL listed to the requirements of UL 1778. All equipment and components are manufactured to applicable UL, NEC, NEMA, ANSI, IEEE, and CSA standards and guidelines.
Designed for Success
The keys to reliability in the design of the UPS system are using conservatively rated components, minimizing transfers to bypass, making operator controls understandable, and providing easy access for maintenance and repair. Liebert UPS systems lead the industry in all these areas.
For example, the Series 600T can clear substantial overloads through the solid state static bypass switch without transferring to the bypass source. By minimizing transfers to bypass, the Series 600T minimizes operation of cir­cuit breakers and enhances system reliability.
As another example, the system control logic has been packaged into Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to eliminate the failure-prone discrete logic boards used in other brands of UPS products. Furthermore, these ASICs are isolated from heat-generating components to ensure optimal operating temperatures.
Other Factors to Consider
Reliability depends on more than just UPS module design. Improper installation can cause any system to fail. To prevent this, Customer Engineers from Liebert Global Services thoroughly inspect the installation of all our sys­tems to ensure they are installed properly and operating within performance specifications.
Once a UPS is properly installed, you—the on-site equipment operator—are the most important factor in pre­venting critical bus failures or unplanned transfers to bypass. To make your task easier, the Series 600T UPS pro­vides easy-to-follow, prompted instructions on the industry’s largest operator display screen.
If you ever need help, call Liebert Global Services (24 hours a day at 1-800-543-2378). Your attention to proper installation, operation, and periodic maintenance will ensure that your mission-critical operations receive the best possible protection from electrical disturbances and outages.

1.3 Safety Precautions
Read this manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the sections that apply to you, before working with the UPS. Also read the battery m anufacturer’s manual before working on or near the battery.
Under typical operation and with all UPS doors closed, only normal safety precautions are necessary. The area around the UPS system and Battery should be kept free from puddles of water, excess moisture, or debris.
Special safety precautions are required for procedures involving handling, installation, and maintenance of the UPS system or the battery. Observe precautions in the separate Installation Manual before handling or installing the UPS system. Observe precautions in 4.0 - Maintenance, before a s well as during performance of all mainte­nance procedures. Observe all battery safety precautions in 4.0 - Maintenance before working on or near the battery.
This equipment contains several circuits that are energized with high voltage. Only test equipment desig­nated for troubleshooting should be used. This is particularly true for oscilloscopes. Always check with an AC and DC voltmeter to ensure safety before making contact or using tools. Even when the power is turned Off, dan­gerously high potentials may exist at the capacitor banks. Observe all battery precautions when near the battery for any reason.
ONLY qualified service personnel should perform maintenance on the UPS system. When performing maintenance with any part of the equipment under power, service personnel and test equipment should be stand­ing on rubber mats. The service personnel should wear insulating shoes for isolation from direct contact with the floor (earth ground).
Unless all power is removed from the equipment, one person should never work alone. A second person should be standing by to assist and summon help in case an accident should occur. This is particularly true when work is performed on the battery.
Three types of messages are used throughout the manual to stress important text. Carefully read the text below each Warning, Caution, and Note and use professional skills and prudent care when performing the actions described by that tex t.
A Warning signals the presence of a possible serious, life-threatening condition. For example:
WARNING LETHAL VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT EVEN
WHEN IT IS APPARENTLY NOT OPERATING. OBSERVE ALL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT WORK ON OR OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT UNLESS YOU ARE FULLY QUALIFIED TO DO SO!! NEVER WORK ALONE.
A Caution indicates a condition that could seriously damage equipment and possibly injure personnel. For example:
CAUTION Make sure you understand the proper sequence before operating any circuit
breaker. Operating a Maintenance Bypass circuit breaker out of sequence could cut off power to the critical load.
A Note emphasizes important text. If the note is not followed, equipment could be damaged or may not operate properly. For example:
NOTE
If the UPS system has a blown fuse, the cause should be determined before you replace the fuse. Contact Liebert Global Services.

1.4 Modes of Operation
Refer to 2.0 - Theory of Operation and 3.0 - Operation for more details.
1.4.1 Normal (Load on UPS)
The utility AC source provides power to the rectifier/charger in each UPS module. Each rectifier/charger con­verts the utility AC power to DC and supplies DC power to the UPS module inverter while simultaneously float charging the battery plant. Each UPS module inverter converts DC to AC and furnishes AC power to the critical bus. The System Control Cabinet (SCC) is the tie point for the paralleled modules and monitors and controls the critical bus performance.
1.4.2 Input Power Failure
If the utility source power fails or is outside the acceptable range, the battery plant becomes the primary supplier of DC power to the inverter.
1.4.3 Recharge
After the utility source power is restored, or an alternate power source becomes available, each rectifier/charger slowly walks-in to once again power the inverters and recharge the battery plant.
1.4.4 Overload
Overloads in critical systems may be caused by inrush currents during connected equipment start-up or by faults in the critical load. The Liebert Series 600T UPS system can maintain full output voltage regulation while sus­taining the following overloads:
• Up to 150% for 30 seconds
• Up to 125% for 10 minutes
• Up to 104% for an indefinite period of time
Also, for clearing momentary faults above 155% of rated SCC current, the static switch turns on for 40 millisec­onds to supply power from the bypass source. Up to 1000% of the rated current can be supplied for less than one cycle, while up to 500% of rated load can be sustained for the full 40 milliseconds of pulsed-parallel operation.
The critical load remains on the UPS modules for the above conditions. If the UPS system overload capacity is exceeded, an automatic transfer to bypass is initiated, which closes the system bypass circuit breaker (SBB) and opens the UPS output circuit breaker.
Whenever you have an overload condition, you should determine the cause of the overload.
1.4.5 Redundant
If the multi-module UPS system includes one more module than the number required to supply the critical load, the UPS system can operate in the redundant m ode. This means that the load will remain on the UPS system if one of the modules is disconnected because of an overload, an internal fault, or for maintenance. If the additional module is not included in the system design, or if the additional module is disconnected from the critical bus, the UPS system operates in the non-redundant mode.
1.4.6 Bypass (Internal)
The SCC control logic initiates an automatic transfer to the bypass source if the overload-current-versus-time curve is exceeded or if specified UPS system faults occur. You can also manually transfer the load to the bypass (without interruption) if you must take the UPS module out of service for maintenance.
The SCC internal maintenance bypass will allow most key components and operating modes to be checked with­out disturbing the critical bus. However, certain key power-carrying components, such as the output and bypass circuit breakers, will require complete system shutdown or isolation through an external maintenance bypass cabinet for 100% service.
1.4.7 Maintenance Bypass
The installation of a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, Panelboard or Switchboard is recommended to allow you to totally isolate the UPS from all power sources. Use of the Maintenance Bypass is described in 3.0 - Op eration.
1.4.8 Off-Battery
The battery plant can be disconnected from the rectifier/charger by using an external Module Battery Disconnect (MBD circuit breaker). The UPS module continues to function normally, though it does not have power outage back-up capability until the battery plant is reconnected.

1.5 Operator Controls
The Liebert Series 600T UPS System Control Cabinet (SCC) and each individual module are equipped with a microprocessor-based Operator Display Screen and Control Panel designed for convenient and reliable opera­tion.
The front panel location of t he monitoring and control system enables the user to quickly identify the current sta­tus of the UPS and to perform most of the manual operations. The operator display screen is driven by an easy­to-follow menu-prompted software program that controls and monitors the UPS system.
Figure 4 SCC Controls and Disp lay Screen with Exa mple of the Monitor/Mimic Screen
The operator controls and Monitor/Mimic screen for the System Control Cabinet (SCC) are shown in Figure 4. The controls and display screen for each UP S module are shown in Figure 5. Each cabinet (SCC or module) has the displays and controls required to monitor and perform its functions.
Figure 4 shows a three-module system designed for redundant operation. A multi-module UPS system may include up to six (6) modules for each SCC.
Detailed instructions on how to interpret the displays and use the controls are in 3.0 - Operation.

1.6 Options
A number of standard pre-designed options are available from Liebert for your UPS system. Described below are the most frequently provided options. Note that the battery items (1-3) are required to complete the UPS system. The remaining options provide improved system performance or convenience.
1. Battery
The batteries provide power in the event of a power outage. The Liebert UPS can use a variety of battery types, provided the battery plant is designed for the UPS DC voltage range and the load requirements of your application.
2. Battery Racks or Cabinets
The battery racks are specifically designed for stationary service batteries. They are painted with electrolyte­resistant paint for corrosion resistance. Battery cabinets are available for 150 through 600 kVA modules.
3. Module Battery Disconnect
The UPS system utilizes a separate Module Battery Disconnect for remotely located batteries. A sensing cir­cuit in the UPS module, set at the battery low voltage limit, trips the Module Battery Disconnect to safe­guard the battery from excessive discharge. The Module Battery Disconnect has an undervoltage release mechanism designed to ensure that during any shutdown or failure mode all battery potential is removed from the U PS system
4. Input Distortion Filter
This filter reduces rectifier input current reflected harmonic distortion to less than 7% THD, and less than 4% THD for modules with the optional 12-pulse rectifier. The filter is factory installed within the UPS. This filter also improves the input power factor to better than 0.92 lagging.
5. 12-Pulse Rectifier
Certain models may be ordered with the optional 12-pulse rectifier section. This provides input isolation and reduces reflected input current THD to less than 9%, or less than 4% with optional input filter.
6. Isolation Transformers
An optional rectifier input isolation transformer is available in a matching transformer cabinet. A bypass iso­lation transformer is also available.
7. Three Breaker Maintenance Bypass
This switchboard provides make-before-break maintenance bypass. It includes: UPS Bypass Input Breaker (BIB), Maintenance Bypass Breaker (MBB), and Maintenance Isolation Breaker (MIB).
8. Two Breaker Maintenance Bypass
This switchboard provides make-before-break maintenance bypass. It includes: Maintenance Bypass Breaker (MBB) and Maintenance Isolation Breaker (MIB).
9. Load Bus Synchronization (LBS)
The Load Bus Sync (LBS) option keeps two independent UPS systems (and therefore their critical load buses) in sync, even when the modules are operating on batteries or asynchronous AC sources. This means that critical loads connected to both load buses through a Static Bus Transfer Switch can be switched seam­lessly between the two.
10. SiteScan Central Monitoring System
Liebert manufactures a central monitoring system that automatically displays key UPS measurements and alarms, as well as data from a variety of sensors. This monitoring system signals alarms so corrective action can be taken. Events and data can be printed in hard copy. Data can be logged for analysis.
11. Remote Monitor Panel
The UPS system may also be provided with an optional Remote Monitor Panel. This Panel provides eight LED indicators and may be placed at a convenient location near the critical load. A functional description of the Remote Monitor Panel is provided in 3.0 - Operation of this manual.
12. Customer Alarm Interface
This optional interface board allows the input and display of 8 alarms from customer-supplied contacts, each with a customer-selected name of up to 16 characters. The following attributes can be user programmed for each alarm: latching, summary, freeze history, sound horn, auto-dial, and time delay (0 to 999.9 seconds).

2.1 General Component Descriptions
The UPS system includes all of the equipment necessary to continuously provide computer-grade AC power to a critical load, even when there is an interruption of the utility line power. It consists of a System Control Cabinet (SCC), UPS modules, and a back-up battery plant. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7. Except where otherwise noted, the configuration is presumed to be parallel-redundant (with at least one more UPS module than required to support the rated load).
System Control Cabinet
The System Control Cabinet (SCC) includes system controls, static bypass switch, load transfer control, protec­tive devices, and other accessories. The system controls simultaneously monitor two or more parallel UPS mod­ules sharing a critical load for increased capacity and/or redundancy. The two (2) motor-operated system circuit breakers (system bypass breaker—SBB and UPS output breaker) may be contained within the SCC, depending on the configuration designed for your installation.
System Controls: The system control logic automatically manages critical bus operation and monitors perfor­mance of the UPS modules. Microprocessor technology and dedicated firmware provide advanced logic control and a comprehensive display of information. The system control logic synchronizes the output of the UPS sys­tem to the bypass source. The SCC includes ports for communicating with external devices. Liebert Multi-Mod­ule Units do not require an SCC for load sharing. Automatic, parallel module load sharing is a function built into the modules themselves; however interconnection through the SCC enables the modules to share data for more precise control. Modules do not require master clocks or controls in order to load share or free-run at 60.0 Hz.
Static Bypass Switch: The static (solid-state) bypass switch immediately transfers the load from the inverter to the bypass AC power source in the event of a severe overload on the system or a failure within the UPS. This transfer takes place without any interruption of the power supplied to the load. The system includes redundant circuits to detect and isolate shorted SCRs in the static switch.
Fuses are installed in series with the static bypass circuit to ensure reliable overload protection in the unlikely event of a catastrophic output condition (e.g., a dropped wrench) electrically close to the output of your UPS sys­tem. The static switch SCRs themselves are rated to easily handle the fuse-blowing current.
Bypass Circuit: The bypass circuit consists of electrically operated circuit breakers and associated synchroniz­ing and control circuitry to transfer the load to/from the bypass source.

UPS Module
The UPS module consists of module controls, a rectifier/charger, an inverter, protective devices, and other acces­sories.
Module Controls: The module control logic monitors performance of the UPS module. The UPS module status is displayed locally and is also sent to the System Control Cabinet.
Rectifier/Charger: The rectifier/charger converts utility power from AC to DC to charge the battery and pro­vide the DC input to the inverter. Its design limits reflected harmonic current distortion to source power and pro­vides low-ripple DC power for charging batteries. Multiple rectifier/chargers can share a common battery plant, if that configuration i s preferred for your application.
Inverter: The inverter converts DC power into the precise AC power required to supply a sensitive critical load. The inverter converts DC power into a pulse-width-modulated (PWM)/six-step waveform that is easily filtered into a clean sine wave output. The PWM/stepwave also minimizes the harmonic voltage distortion caused by typical switching power supplies and other non-linear load components used in computers and related electron­ics.
Battery Plant
The battery is used as the alternate source of power to supply DC power to the inverter if the AC supply voltage is outside the acceptable range. The battery supplies power to the inverter until the utility power is restored or until an alternate power source is available. If AC source power is not restored or an alternate power source is not available, the battery can be sized to provide power long enough for an orderly shutdown of the load.

2.2 Detailed Component Descriptions
2.2.1 Controls
Hardware
The Series 600T UPS Operator Interface Display System is designed to provide all of the information that is required for the operation of each UPS cabinet (the System Control Cabinet and each module). The following is a list of the hardware features:
1. The control logic performs automatic operations with minimal operator interface. The limited number of manual controls are easy-to-use.
2. Each Series 600T UPS cabinet is equipped with an easy-to-read 640 x 200 pixel liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. It presents information in a way that is easy to understand at an eye-level front panel location.
3. The display is controlled by a dedicated microprocessor with a non-volatile (EPROM) program and a battery-backed event memory.
4. The Series 600T System Control Cabinet (SCC) has communication ports (terminal board connections) for: a. Transmission of present status information to remote terminals via resident auto-dial communications
program and an external modem. This port also responds to inquiries of the UPS system status and history from the remote terminal.
b. Reporting UPS system status and history information in response to inquiries from a local terminal (no
modem required). c. Reporting to a local monitor the information requested from the local terminal.
d. Reporting information to a Liebert SiteScan central monitoring system. e. Relaying selected alarm messages to a Liebert Remote Monitor Panel and to a separate terminal board
for customer use. f. Relaying performance and status information to your network monitoring system via SNMP interface.
NOTE
All external communication devices are optional equipment.
Firmware
The Operator Interface Display System software enables the operator to monitor the UPS system status, to con­trol the power flow through the UPS, to monitor all of the meter readings, to execute the start-up, shutdown, and the load transfer procedures, to access the event history files, and to make adjustments to the programmable parameters. The following is a list of the firmware features:
1. The menu-driven software prompts the operator for input.
2. Step-by-step instructions assist the operator during start-up, shutdown, and load transfer procedures. This helps to eliminate operator errors.
3. Graphics-based mimic diagrams illustrate circuit breaker status and the power flow through the UPS system.
4. The Present Status screen reports information about the system’s present status. The History Status screen chronicles the events leading up to and immediately after a fault. The Event History screen lists all of the alarm messages that have been logged over a period of time.
5. The Battery Cycle Monitor records information on up to 132 battery discharge events. Information includes date, time, length of discharge, highest current demand, lowest battery voltage, and cumulative battery amp hours d ischarged.
Refer to 3.0 - Operation for a description of the controls and indicators located on the Operator Control Panel.
2.2.2 Rectifier/Charger
The UPS module rectifier/charger consists of an input circuit breaker, optional input isolation transformer, AC current limiting circuit, battery equalize charge circuit, DC filter, battery charge current limiting circuit, and bridge rectifiers.
Operation
The rectifier/charger converts the AC input power to DC power. This conversion is accomplished by 3-phase bridge rectifiers using SCRs. All phases are individually fused. Reflected input current THD is less than 7% at
Theory of Operation 15
DISCONTINUED
full load with optional input filter. For modules 500 kVA and larger, the optional 12-pulse rectifier reduces reflected THD to less than 4% with optional filter, or 9% without.
The filtered output of the rectifier/charger provides regulated DC power to drive the inverter and charge the bat­te r y.
Input Circuit Breaker
The input circuit breaker (CB1) is sized to allow enough current to recharge the battery and supply a full rated load at the same time. The circuit breaker contains a thermal magnetic trip mechanism and an undervoltage release that interrupts power, preventing damage to the system, if there is an internal AC over-current condition or a short circuit. The circuit breaker also opens during certain alarmed faults. This circuit breaker must be closed manually.
Isolation Transformer
The optional input isolation transformer has a dry type core, and copper windings with class H insulation. The transformer on modules with standard 6-pulse rectifier has wye primary and delta secondary windings. For mod­els with the optional 12-pulse rectifier, the transformer has a delta primary, with delta and wye secondary wind­ings. The isolation transformer provides the initial step of critical bus isolation. This reduces the AC shock hazard at the battery and at other DC components, and prevents a DC fault from disrupting upstream AC cir­cu i try.
The transformer has a nominal tap and one tap 6% below the rated nominal input voltage (normally used for 460 VAC input).
Input Current Limit
AC input current-sensing transformers (CTs) are used to measure current levels. Control circuitry connected to the CTs restricts the AC current to less than 125% of the full input current rating by reducing the battery charging voltage. This current limit is adjustable from 100 to 125% and is factory set at 115%. A second (optional) level of input current limit can be initiated by an external contact closure (field supplied for use with back-up genera­tor), and is adjustable from 85 to 100% (factory set at 100%).
During a start-up procedure, the current slowly ramps up (walks-in) from 20% of the rated input current to 100% over a 15 to 21 second period. The maximum rate of change of the AC input current is 15% per second. The input current walk-in reduces the start-up surge distortion effects on all other equipment connected to the same source and prolongs the service life of internal components.
Input Current Inrush
The maximum sub-cycle of inrush current due to the optional input isolation transformer is less than 500-800% of the rated input current for the first 1/2 cycle. Without the optional transformer, inrush current is typically less than 2-3 times normal.
Input Power Factor
The rated input power factor is no less than 0.85 lagging at the nominal input voltage and the full rated UPS load. The optional input filter will improve the power factor to better than 0.92 lagging at full load. Refer to published specifications for your UPS model.
2.2.3 Battery Charging Circuit
The UPS module charging circuit is capable of recharging the battery plant to 95% of full capacity within 10 times the discharge time. Recharging the last 5% takes longer because of characteristics inherent in the battery. DC ripple voltage is limited to less than 0.5% RMS to preserve battery life during long-term float charging while the UPS system is operating on utility source power.
Multiple UPS module rectifier/chargers can share a common battery plant, if that configuration is preferred for your application.
Operation After Discharge
When commercial power is interrupted, the battery continues to supply DC power to the inverter without inter­ruption to the critical load. If the AC source power is restored before the battery has fully discharged, the rectifier automatically restarts and resumes carrying the inverter and battery recharge load requirements.
16 Theory of Operation
DISCONTINUED
Operation After End-of-Discharge
The battery time screen displayed on the control panel enables you to estimate when battery shutdown will occur. You will have enough time to energize an alternate AC power source or to initiate an orderly shutdown of the critical load. If the battery plant discharges to the shutdown point during an outage, the UPS automatically dis­connects the load, the AC input, and the battery. After AC input power is restored, the rectifier can be manually restarted by the user.
Battery Disconnect
The external module battery disconnect (MBD) circuit breaker is used to isolate the UPS module from the bat­tery during maintenance and to automatically disconnect the battery from the inverter at the end of battery dis­charge. The MBD circuit breaker can be opened or tripped automatically, from the control panel, or manually. It must be closed manually.
Battery Charge Current Limiting
The battery recharge current, after a battery discharge, is limited to between 1 and 25% (adjustable) of the full load discharge current. An additional (optional) charge-limiting c ircuit can be activated by external dry contact closure (field supplied) for use when operating on a back-up generator. These two levels of control regulate the amount of current that flows from the power source to the battery while the battery is recharging.
The battery charge current limit is factory set at 10% for normal operation and at 1% for alternate power source recharge operation.
Battery Equalize Charge Circuit
The battery equalize charge feature can be manually initiated or it can be programmed to operate automatically. Either can be selected from the battery equalize screen displayed on the control panel.
The battery equalizing charge circuit increases the rectifier/charger output voltage to charge the battery any time there is a power outage of 30 seconds or longer. The equalizing voltage is slightly higher than the float voltage. This decreases the time required to recharge the battery.
NOTE
Do not use equalize charging with valve-regulated lead-acid batteries
Consult the battery manufacturer's manual for specific information about equalize charging.
Theory of Operation 17
DISCONTINUED
2.2.4 Inverter
The inverter is a solid state device that converts the DC output of the rectifier/charger or the battery to AC power.
Operation
The inverter converts DC power—from either the battery or the rectifier/charger—into three pulse-width-modu­lated/six-step waveforms. These waveforms are filtered into low-distortion sine wave power. The inverter is con­trolled by an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This integrated circuit controls the precise synchronization, amplitude, and frequency of the output voltage.
In addition to the inverter efficiently supplying a regulated AC output from a DC source, the output isolation transformer acts as a second stage of isolation between the critical load bus and the commercial source power. The inverter is configured to handle most critical load inrush surges. It maintains output voltage Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) within specifications even when handling non-linear computer loads. Refer to non-linear load characteristics.
Output Regulation and Overload Performance
The inverter is capable of sustaining full output voltage ±2% of the nominal voltage) for up to 150% overload at the output for as long as 30 seconds without reducing the output voltage. It can also handle at least 125% of the rated current for up to 10 minutes and 104% of the rated current continuously. The System Control Cabinet (SCC) will transfer the critical load to the bypass source if the overload exceeds the system capacity or the capac­ity of the modules on-line. The multi-module overload capacity (in terms of percent of rated full load current of modules on-line) is 140% for 20 seconds, 108% for 10 minutes, and 104% continuously.
Note that in normal operation the SCC will transfer the load to bypass before a UPS module exceeds its overload capacity. If a module overload condition is sustained (beyond inverter capacity) the UPS module is automatically taken off-line (disconnected from the critical bus) and is shut down. If the UPS system is operating in the redun­dant mode, the load may remain on the UPS system. Refer to 3.4 - Automatic Operations.
Non-Linear Load Characteristics
Computers and computer equipment with switching power supplies generate non-linear currents rich in fifth and seventh harmonics.
The inverter pulse-width-modulated/six-step waveform, coupled with the output filter, provides a natural path for reducing the fifth and seventh harmonic currents produced by the load. The inverter/filter limits the output voltage THD to less t han 5% with up to 100% typical electronic data processing (EDP) loads. EDP equipment characteristically includes both non-linear and linear load components.
Unbalanced Load Characteristics
Unbalanced loads are actively regulated. The phase-to-phase voltage balance is maintained to within 2%, even with a 50% load imbalance.
The three-phase, root mean square (RMS—approximately 70% of the peak) average voltage is also regulated through a separate control circuit (phase-to-phase sensing).

2.2.5 Static Bypass
A static bypass is an integral part of the UPS System Control Cabinet (SCC). Refer to Figure 7. The static bypass consists of solid-state switching devices working in conjunction with the motor-operated System Bypass Breaker (SBB). An automatic transfer control circuit senses the status of the operator controls, UPS logic signals and alarm messages, and c ritical bus operating conditions. If the UPS modules can no longer supply the critical load, the static bypass switch (in conjunction with the SBB and UPS Output Breaker) automatically transfers the critical load to the bypass source without interruption.

Fuse Protection
The static bypass switch path uses two back-to-back SCRs per phase. Each phase is individually protected by a fuse sized to clear only in the event of a catastrophic fault. This is a more reliable method than depending on external protection devices. The fuses are in the circuit to protect the critical bus distribution equipment against catastrophic faults. The static switch SCRs are oversized to easily handle any current surges that may blow the fuses.
Shorted SCR Monitoring
The static bypass system has redundant shorted SCR sensing c ircuits and disconnects. This will prevent UPS out­put power backfeed to the distribution system even if two component failures exist simultaneously. If a shorted SCR is detected, the static bypass switch is isolated and annunciated at the SCC control panel, and the critical load remains on UPS output power.
Static Switch Isolation
The motor-operated system bypass circuit breaker (SBB), wired in parallel with the static switch, automatically closes in approximately 200 milliseconds after the load is transferred to the bypass power source, removing the static switch from the power flow.
Theory of Operation 19
DISCONTINUED
Also, if required for maintenance, the static switch can be isolated from the bypass line by opening (to the OFF position) the Static Switch Disconnects.
Pulsed Parallel Operation
When an overload condition such as magnetic inrush current or a branch load circuit fault exceeds the overload capacity of the connected modules, the static bypass switch pulses on for 40 milliseconds. This allows up to 1000% of the rated full load current from the bypass line to clear the overload without closing the bypass circuit breaker. The bypass source is briefly in parallel with the UPS system, permitting the bypass source to carry the initial overload current. If the overload clears before 40 milliseconds, a load transfer to bypass is not made. If the overload condition continues, the automatic transfer is made (maintaining the load voltage within the specified limits).
This pulsed static switch operation reduces nuisance operation of motor-operated circuit breakers for such short­term conditions.
Load Transfers
Transfers to (transfer) or from (retransfer) the bypass may be performed automatically or manually in a make­before-break sequence. This is accomplished through the overlapping operation of the UPS output and the sys­tem bypass power switching devices.
Manual load transfers and retransfers are initiated by the operator from the System Control Cabinet (SCC).
In a manual operation, or an automatic retransfer, the two motorized circuit breakers—UPS output and system bypass—are both closed simultaneously for a short period of time (overlap).
Automatic transfers are initiated by the SCC system control logic when an overload is beyond the specified capa­bilities of the UPS system or when a fault occurs within a non-redundant UPS module. An automatic retransfer is initiated if this function is enabled and if system conditions for a retransfer are present.
In an automatic transfer, the circuit breakers do not overlap, but during the short time gap bypass power is sup­plied to the critical load through the solid state static switch.
20 Theory of Operation
DISCONTINUED
Transfer and Retransfer Conditions
1. Automatic Transfers to Bypass
Critical bus conditions that will initiate an automatic transfer of the critical load from the UPS system to the bypass source are:
a. System Overload: overcurrent condition in excess of the overload rating of the System Control Cabinet
(SCC).
b. Output Overload: overcurrent condition in excess of the c urrent-versus-time overload capacity of UPS
modules ON LINE.
c. Over/Under Voltage (OV/UV): critical bus voltage is outside the allowable tolerance. d. Non-redundant UPS Module Inoperative: an essential UPS module is taken OFF LINE for one of the
reasons below.
1. Battery discharged to the shutdown voltage.
2. Inverter overload capacity exceeded.
3. Inverter or rectifier fault condition (power, logic, or over-temperature) present or imminent.
4. Failure of UPS module logic or logic power.
e. SCC Logic:
1. Emergency Module Off (EMO) circuit activated.
2. Failure of UPS system logic or logic power.
2. Manual Transfers
Manual transfers may be initiated at any time provided no transfer inhibition conditions are present.
3. Transfer Inhibited
A manual transfer to the bypass source shall be inhibited if any of the following conditions exist: a. Bypass frequency deviates ±0.5 Hz from the nominal. b. UPS system to bypass voltage difference ( V) exceeds a predetermined percentage (normally 5%).
c. Static switch disconnects (manual switches) open. d. OK to Transfer signal from the control logic is not present.
NOTE
A load transfer to the bypass line will be completed whenever an automatic transfer to bypass is initiated If the Static Switch Unable alarm message is present for any reason (including a ±20° phase lock synchronization error), the automatic transfer will be interrupted for 40 to 120 milliseconds. Because of the reliability of the UPS components, an interrupted load transfer is a very unlikely occurrence.
4. Automatic Retransfers to UPS
Critical bus conditions that must be present to initiate an automatic retransfer (Auto-Rexfer) of the critical load from the bypass source to the UPS system a re:
a. The number of Auto-Rexfer Attempts selected must be greater than zero (0). If zero (0) is selected, no
automatic retransfer will occur. b. Critical load was initially transferred to the bypass source due to a system overload only. c. Overload has since dropped below 100% of the rated SCC current. d. Enough UPS modules are ON LINE to supply the critical load. e. OK to Transfer signal received from the control logic for at least 10 seconds, within 5 minutes of the
overload transfer. (A manually initiated retransfer from bypass is required for overloads lasting 5
minutes or more.) f. Cyclic-type system overloads, which occur up to five (select range is 0 to 5) times in 60 m inutes, are
automatically returned to the UPS system for each event including the Nth overload. A manually
initiated retransfer from bypass is required for the N+1 overload.
Theory of Operation 21
DISCONTINUED
5. Manual Retransfers
Manual retransfers may be initiated at any time provided no retransfer inhibition conditions are present.
6. Retransfer Inhibited
A retransfer from the bypass source to the UPS system shall be inhibited if any of the following conditions exist:
a. Manual (and Automatic) Retransfer Inhibitions:
1. Bypass frequency exceeds ±0.5 Hz of the nominal.
2. UPS system-to-bypass voltage difference ( V) exceeds a predetermined percentage (normally
5%).
3. System circuit breaker (UPS output or SBB) is inoperative.
4. OK to Transfer signal from the control logic is not present.
5. Not enough UPS modules are ON LINE to supply the connected critical load.
b. Automatic Retransfer Inhibitions (in addition to those above):
1. The load transfer to bypass was not caused by a system overload.
2. Excessive cyclical overloads within a one-hour period.
3. Retransfer conditions are not satisfied within 5 minutes of the initial transfer.
2.2.6 Redundant Mode
The typical multi-module UPS system is configured with a back-up (redundant) UPS module, connected in par­allel to share the critical load with the other module(s). This parallel redundant system includes one more module than is required to supply the full critical load.
A parallel redundant system will always be in the Redundant Mode if all modules are ON LINE. In addition, if the critical load is reduced so that not all ON LINE modules are required, the UPS system can also operate in the Redundant Mode with one or more modules OFF LINE. The critical load will remain on the UPS system—even if one or more of the modules is taken OFF LINE for maintenance or because of an internal fault—as long as the remaining ON LINE modules can carry the full connected system load.
The system control logic monitors the connected critical load and the number of UPS modules ON LINE. If the UPS system is operating in the Redundant Mode, the REDUNDANT status message will be displayed at the System Control Cabinet (SCC). If the UPS system is operating in the Non-Redundant Mode (redundant module is OFF LINE or was not included in the system configuration), the NON-REDUNDANT status message is dis­played at the SCC. In the Non-Redundant Mode, the critical load will be transferred to bypass if any UPS module goes OFF LINE and the remaining ON LINE module(s) cannot carry the connected load without being over­loaded.
The system control logic, located in the SCC, automatically adjusts the allowable overload limits based on the connected load and the number of modules ON LINE.
