CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The Powerware99150 is a double-conversion, online uninterruptible
power supply(UPS)for protecting computer systemsand other
intelligent devices.

The UPS providesa steady,well-regulated power supplyfor your
computing andcommunications equipment,while protectingit from the
frequent irregularitiesthat areinherent in commercially available power.
Voltage spikes,power surges, brownouts, and power failures have the
potentialto corruptcriticaldata, destroyunsavedwork sessions, and in
some instances,damage expensivehardware.

Withthe Powerware 9150, youcan safely eliminate the effects of
electricalline disturbancesand guard the integrity of yoursystemsand
equipment. Figure 1 showsthe Powerware 9150 UPS.

Introduction

UPS Model and Battery Configurations

There are two important considerations whenselectingthe UPS model
and battery configuration to properly safeguard your equipment:

:

The UPS outputpower rating(VA) shouldbe specified according to
the total power demand of the equipment to be protected.Some
marginshould be allowed for pote ntial expansion of the protected
system,and forpossible inaccuracy in calculating or measuring the
actualpower requirement.

:

The battery should be sized according to the desired backup time.
The backup time is longer if the load is less than the nominal power
rating of the UPS.

Load Requirements

Determine the total load requirements, in volt-amperes (VA), of the
equipment to be protectedby the UPS.The UPSload should not exceed
the UPS rating.To determine the total loadrequirements:

1. Obtainthe load ratings fromeither thenameplate oroperator’s
manual of the equipment to be protected by the UPS. The
ratings are listed in either watts (W),amperes or amperes max
(A), or volt-amperes.

2. If the ratingis in watts, multiply by 1.4 to obtain the VA
requirement (this isthe typicalrelationship betweenwatts and
volt-ampere ratings in most computing equipment).

If therating isin amperesor amperesmax, multiply by the
inputvoltage to obtain the VA requirement.

3. Add all of the resultant VA ratings together to obtain the total
load requirementsof the equipment tobe protected (see
Figure 2).

Introduction

If thetotal load requirementsof the equipment exceeds the capacity of
the UPS, youmust eitherreduce the numberof pieces of equipment, or
use a UPS witha largerload capacity.

NOTE Line-to-neutralloads(100V- 127V)shouldbe balancedbetweenL1/Aand
L2/B.

Whendeciding on which pieces of equipment to removefrom theUPS,
select equipment thathas a lowerpriorityfor power protection.
Computers, monitors, and modems typically have a higher priority
becausethey couldbe processing or transmitting data when a power
outage occurs.

Battery Times

The Powerware9150 UPS has internalbatte ries with run times up to
17 minutes. If additional run time is required, optional externalbattery
cabinets(EBCs)can be purchased. There are two EBCmodels available:
EBC-48and EBC-96.The EBC-48 model contains48 batteriesand the
EBC-96 model contains96 batteries. The followingtable shows
approximate battery times for both internalbattery models and the
optional EBCconfigurations.The times shown in the EBC rows are
cumulative and include the internal battery time.

Operation

The Powerware9150 can operate in Normal, Bypass, or Battery Mode.
The UPS automatically switchesbetween thesemodes as required, and
the UPS frontpanel indicates the current mode of operation.

Normal Mode

When the UPS is in Normal Mode, the UPS ON and LINE ON indicators
illuminate. The LOAD indicator(s) display percentage of UPS load
capacity being usedby the protectedequipment.

Bypass Mode

The UPS switchesto Bypass Mode in theevent of anoverload condition,
overtemp condition, or UPS failure. When the unit switches to Bypass, a
monotone alarm sounds and the BYPASSED indicator illuminates,
indicating that the load is powered by utility power.However, utility
power c ontinuesto be passivelyfiltered by the UPS.

Battery Mode

Battery Mode is automatically initiated if a utility failure occurs or if
utility power does not meet preset parameters. The UPS switches to
battery (DC) power,providing power to supportthe load.

Whenthe unitswitchesto Battery Mode, an alarmbeeps for five seconds
and the ON BATTERYindicator illuminates, indicating a power outage.
The UPS remains in Battery Mode until the utilitypower returns or until
the battery can no longer support the inverteroperation.

Whenthe batterycan no longer support inverter operation, an audible
alarmindicates thatapproximately five minutes of backup timeremains.
The time remaining is variable and depends upon batterycapacity and
loading onthe unit. If a power failure outlasts the backup time, the UPS
shutsdown inorder to preventa total discharge of the battery. When
utility is restored, the UPS starts automatically, providing power to the
criticalload and chargingthe batterybank.

Remote Emergency Power-off Input

REPO is used to shut down the UPS from a distance. This feature can be
used for shutting down the load and the UPS by thermal relay, for
instance in the e vent of room overtemperature. Remote shutdown wires
areconnected onconnector X2 (see Figure 18 on page46).

The pins of connector X2 have been connected together. Whenthis
connection is open,the logiccircuitry completelyshutsdown the UPS,
thus preventing the power from supplying the load.

NOTE Inorder torestart the UPS,the pins ofconnectorX2 havetobe connected,the
batterybreaker (CB1) must bereset,and theUPS ON/OFFswitchmustbe turnedoff
and then backon.The pinsmustbe shortedinorder tokeep the UPSrunning.
Maximumresistance is10 ohm.

CAUTION

The REPO mustnotbe connectedtoany utilityconnected circuits.Reinforced
insulation to the utility isrequired. The REPOswitchmusthave a minimumratingof
24 Vdc and20 mA.

Efficiency Optimizer Function

Thisfeaturecan be activatedby your service representative.The
Efficiency Optimizerfunctionminimizespower loss and reducespower
consumption by automatically switching betweenBypass andOnline
Mode according to the utility power condition.

When utility power is constant and free from disturbances, the UPS
switchesautomatically to BypassMode for maximum efficiency. The
UPSdetects all powerimperfectionsinstantly and returns to Online
Mode when necessary. As a result,the UPSreaches upto 98% average
efficiency.
