☆ Hazardous voltage exits inside the UPS (includes the connection
terminals), cable connection and maintenance should be done by
professional or qualified personnel.
☆ The UPS has its own internal battery source (battery). The output
terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to the
AC supply.
☆ DC capacitors are employed in this unit, hazardous voltage still
exists even when the unit is not energized. Do not touch any part
of the UPS inside.
WA RNING !
☆ Be sure to operate the UPS within the rated power of the UPS.
☆ Prevent direct exposure to direct sunlight rain or contaminating
environment.
☆ Only qualified technicians should replace the batteries. Since
batteries have high short-circuit current capacity. Mistakes in
connection or disconnection can cause severe burns or death to
servicing personnel.

1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1. Construction of the UPS
General Topology:
The UPS system is composed of input breakers, input filter & protection network,
rectifier, battery
bank, inve
rte
r,
static switch, bypass breaker, isolation transformer
and output filter. The basic topology is shown in the diagram above. Under normal
AC mode, energy from the AC source is converted to DC power and supply to the
inverter and charge the battery to its full capacity all the time, ready to support the
output load in case of AC source failure.
Perhaps one may doubt if it is worthwhile to buy a UPS. But when you use a
calculator to add up the
dire
ct and indirect loss caused by AC failure, you will
immediately find that the money you save in 2 or 3 times of AC failure can already
compensate the cost of a UPS. Besides, the life expectancy of a UPS is at least 5 to
8 years, you may already get back the expense on the UPS within one year.
Although the principle and operation of a UPS seems simple and straightforward,
for
the requirement
a reliable and intelligent UPS makes the design and
manufacturing of a high power UPS requires advanced technology, intelligence,
experience and the most important, be c
ons
iderate to the user. Therefore we spend
years and huge investment in developing the most rugged, intelligent and reliable
UPS for the market, safe and convenient UPS for the user.
1-2
Besides, the knowledge of choosing the best and most suitable UPS can be easy or
can be difficult, it depends on whether you know the key points or not. The most
g
obvious specification is the power, it depends on how lar
e is your load. Usually, an
allowance of 50% more power must be added to the current power you needed, both
for tolerance and future expansion. Of course you can add more than 50% if you
expect a larger increase of load in the future.
Another important point is the reliability, the prime aim of a UPS is to protect your
load, and therefore the UPS should be much more reliable than the AC source.
Those unfortunate UPS users who bought a unreliable
UPS
may suffer the
problem of frequent break down of the UPS, even more frequent than AC failure,
the cost of repairing is more the cost of the unit itself.
The last point is to choose an honest and experienced suppler who can help you
to choose the correct UPS, react promptly in case of UPS problem. Then, you can
save your money as well as buy a correct, suitable, and reliable UPS that is the
same as buy insurance to your load.
Generally, there are four different modes of operation, the NORMAL OPERATION
MODE, the BACK-UP (BATTERY) MODE, the RESERVE MODE and the
MAINTENANCE BYPASS MODE. They are explained as below.
Normal Operation Mode:
The rectifier converts the AC input to DC power to supply the inverter and charge the
battery simultaneously. All the fluctuations, surges and spikes of the AC input is
removed during AC to DC conversion, therefore the AC supplied by the inverter is
clean and stable.
1-3
Back-up Mode:
Since the battery is connected directly to the DC bus, when the AC failure, the
battery change immediately
instead of receiving energy from the rectifier. The
from
receiver to donor, supply energy to the inverter
output AC
is not interrupted.
Therefore, the load connected to the output is protected.
Reserve Mode:
When the inverter is in abnormal conditions, such as over temperature, short circuit,
abnormal output voltage or overloaded for a period exceed the inverter’s limit, the
inverter will automatically shutdown, in order to protect itself from damage. If the
utility power is normal, the static switch shall transfer the load to the reserve source
without interruption of AC output.
1-4
Maintenance Bypass Mode:
In case of UPS maintenance or battery replacement, and the load cannot be
interrupted, the user can turn off the inverter, close the bypass breaker and then
open the rectifier and reserve breakers. The AC output will
not be
interrupted during
manual bypass transfer procedure. Therefore maintenance bypass switch keeps
continuously power supply to the load. Electricity will not exist in UPS except the
output transformer, thus ensure the safety of service personnel.
Generally, the UPS is expected to run 24 Hours a day in normal operation mode
once it is installed, except when the utility power is fail, under overload condition,
or during maintenance.
The normal operation with battery connected can provide a clean, stable, free from
any spikes and surges, regulated and uninterruptible power to the load. Therefore,
the UPS and be regarded as a perfect AC
power source
except the back-up time
under mains failure is limited by the capacity of battery connected.

1.2. Features and Advantages
(a) Reliable input protection: Circuit breakers is put in each individual input
loop to ensure power can continue through the other loop in case of breaker trip
caused abnormal condition in either rectifier or load.
(b) Input surge protection: MOV (surge protector) is added at the input, provide
sufficient protection to both UPS and the load from any lightning or surge
caused by neighboring large loads.
(c) EMI suppression: EMI filter is added to meet the international EMC limits,
therefore, very low
noise
is emitted and never interfere other equipment
connected to the same AC source.
(d) Ruggedness: The rectifier employ phase control technology to regulate the
DC bus voltage, so it can charge the battery directly, it is the most efficient
method to charge the battery. Besides, the component used is SCR, the
component get merits by its ruggedness under poor condition. Also, big inductor
is added at the input to avoid deforming the AC source waveform.
(e) High frequency design: The inverter uses high frequency, high efficiency
IGBT, PWM method
to conv
ert the DC power to AC power. Therefore, number
of components is fewer, in return, reliability is improved, size and weight of
UPS is reduced, then the transportation cost is cheaper, performance improved
and the acoustic noise is eliminated too.
(f) True Galvanic isolation: An isolated transformer is put at the output, can
solve the problem of
poor input
grounding and can accept a different ground
between input and output, can avoid the annoying problem of ground leakage
current and can be tied to any potential provided on site. The AC output is
isolated
under
every mode of operation. Besides, the user gets the bonus of
attenuation of common mode noise from the output isolation transformer.
1-6
(g) P&P Modular design: The power circuit is separated into several modules
plugged into slots in
th
e
UPS,
which is easy to pull out, permit quick
maintenance and easier trouble shooting. Therefore, it can be regarded as plug
and play modules.
(h) Cold start function: the UPS can be started without AC source, that is, can
be started with battery only, because current limit circuitry is added. It can
prevent the problem of many UPS that the big inrush current blow the battery
fuse and hurts the DC capacitors when battery is connected to empty DC bus
(before the DC bus is energized).
(i) Multi-CPU design: Several CPUs are employed in the control circuit, critical
functions are designed to parallel redundancy to improve reliability. Therefore,
in case of one CPU fails the other CPUs keep on their duty and the output AC
will not be affected.
(j) Defense to mis-operation: The UPS is designed with breaker on/off sensor,
power supply sensor etc. Therefore any operational mistake made by the user
causes no harm to the UPS.
(k) Wide input range: The UPS is designed to accept extra wide input range, so
that it can work comfortable under poor AC source. Also, all the input
components used are especially selected to handle extreme high voltage and
high current.
(l) Tolerate harsh environment: Each component of the UPS is chosen with
larger safe margin to accept extreme environment, such as temperature, humidity,
attitude, shock or contamination.
(m) Intelligent charger: The UPS will automatically recharge (boost charge) the
battery every time after the battery is consumed to a voltage 2V/Cell, so that the
battery can be recovered to the full capacity as soon as possible to be ready for
the next back-up. Besides, in order to keep the battery in the best condition, the
UPS will boost charge the battery for several hours (selectable) automatically
every month. To avoid over charging the battery, Boost charge will stop when
the ambient temperature is over 35 ℃(95℉).
1-7
(n) Intelligent battery test: Battery is tested after every boost charge of battery
(either initiated by battery discharge or by one month has elapsed) without
stopping the rectifier to prevent the risk of output AC failure in case of battery
bad. And can inform the user the battery condition, so that the user can take
action before the capacity of the battery is needed.
(o) Huge charging power: The charge power is selectable (Lo/Me/Hi) according
to Ah of the battery, and can charge up battery of more than 8Hrs back-up time
without adding extra charger.
(p) MTBF of fans is extended: Fans will slow down under light load, so that
the life expectancy of the fans are longer than it is specified.
(q) Redundant power supply: An extra power supply is connected redundantly
to supply power of the static switch, so that, there will be AC output no matter
what happen to the UPS.
(r) Intelligent interface: One remote control panel (or one PC) can monitor up to
99 UPS, all of them can be remotely switched on or off, and when any one of
them encounters emergent condition, it will warn the user immediately. All the
to
UPS status, data or commands are transmitted
external modules through 4
RS-485 ports (for long distance communication under harsh environment).
(s) Emergent stop is available: In case of hazard, for example electric shock,
fire or earthquake, the UPS can be shutdown (will have no AC at the output)
either through a switch (can be added upon request) or through smoke detector
signal (can be added upon request) to prevent further injuries or destruction.

1.3. Rectifier
The main function of a rectifier is to convert the AC input to DC power, supply it to
the inverter; the inverter then converts the DC power to AC power to the load. Our
UPS use the DC power to charge the battery as well, which i
s th
e most efficient way
of charging.

The rectifier of from 20KVA to 80KVA UPS uses 6-pulse full controlled rectifier.
An inductor is added before the rectifier to improve the power factor, smooth the
current waveform and eliminate the harmonic current as well. The control circuit
regulates the DC bus within 1%. Soft walk-in circuitry (approximately 20sec.) and
current limit circuitry is used to prevent over current or instantaneous surge current.
Extra under-voltage and over-voltage protections are added to improve reliability and
to shutdown the rectifier in case of abnormal conditions. The DC bus is adjustable to
fit different types of battery. The power component use in rectifier is especially
selected to handle extreme high voltage and high current. The rectifier is designed to
operate under wide range of AC input, from 177 to 300VAC, to fit the poor power
conditions in some area.

In order to further improve the power factor and reduce harmonic current drawn by
the rectifier, our UPS from 100KVA and above use the 12-pulse full controlled
rectifier. The total current harmonic current can be reduced to around 15%, and
power factor is improved to over 0.8. A phase shift transformer is added to achieve
the performance. The input inductor is retained too to obtain the best result. Although
the cost is higher, it is most reliable and rugged topology. Users need not to increase
the input breaker and cable, input KVA and harmonic current drawn is minimized to
fulfill the worldwide energy saving requirements.
The harmonic current can be further lowered by adding harmonic filters (install upon
request). The total harmonic current will be around 9%.
Another alternative method to reduce the harmonic current (especially for very large
KVA UPS) is to employ 18-pulse full controlled rectifier. The total harmonic current
will be around 7%.

The inverter is composed of IGBT, inductor, capacitor, snubber, control circuitry and
protection circuitry. It can convert the DC power from the DC bus to AC power
supply to the output load. Our UPS use IGBT technology which can switched to
frequency beyond audible range, therefore no audible noise.
Our UPS use voltage regulation circuitry to limit the voltage variation within 1%.
Also special compensation circuitry is added to eliminate the output distortion. Every
component is oversized to accept the wide DC input range (from 285 to 420VDC), so
that the output waveform remains sinusoidal throughout the range. With the aid of
dynamic feedback loop the inverter will keep a sine waveform even under non-linear
load.
We use independent inverter for each phase. Although it is more expensive, each
inverter has its independent feedback, so that the voltage is unaffected when load is
added to the adjacent phase, that is excellent voltage regulation under 100%
unbalanced load.
The IGBT is operated in its optimal condition to obtain best efficiency, so as to
minimize the electricity cost of the user.
Usually, the most frequent failure of UPS happens at the inverter, therefore we added
redundant protection circuitry
suppress the spikes and noise, use over sized and
to
protect the inverter, strong snubber is added to
high
quality components, add
semi-conductor fuse and good ventilation etc. Every step aims at a rugged, reliable
and high efficient inverter. At the same time, the inverter can sustain overload and
high peak current drawn by the load. And the MTBF must be long than one expects.

The static switch is composed of two pairs of back-to-back connected SCR. It can
transfer the load from reserve to inverter or from inverter to reserve without dead
time at the output. Therefore, it is a very important portion of a UPS.
Detection circuitry is added to the control circuit to achieve zero dead time transfer.
Extra detection logic is employ to control when should the static switch transfer. For
example, when output is short circuited under normal mode operation, the UPS
detect the short circuit and stop the inverter after a period which the inverter can
endure,
then the static switch will not transfer to reserve to prevent tripping and
hurting the reserve breaker. But in case of overload, the UPS will stop the inverter
after a period the inverter can endue, and then transfer the load to reserve
because the
overload capability of the static switch is higher than the inverter.
Also the transfer action is determined according to the reserve-input voltage and
frequency to protect the load from supplying incorrect power to the load. At last,
there is a double check by the CPU whether the transfer is successful or not.
1.6. Maintenance Bypass Switch
Unlike other UPS, the maintenance bypass switch is already installed inside the UPS
for convenience. It should be opened under normal operation, and only closed during
maintenance. For the sake of maintenance personnel’s safety, all power supply inside
the UPS should be disconnected before touch any parts inside the UPS; therefore, the
maintenance bypass switch is a necessity to maintain AC power at the output and can
keep safe at the same time. If the bypass breaker is closed under normal operation,
the inverter will stop and the load will be automatically transferred to reserve to
prevent the inverter connect directly to the AC source. Of course, you cannot switch
on the in
verter as long as the maintenance bypass breaker is closed.
The operation of the maintenance bypass breaker is that, switch off the inverter first
then the static switch will automatically transfer the load to reserve without dead
time. Then now you can close the maintenance bypass breaker now, and then open
the reserve breaker, so that the load can get AC from the output without interruption.
