Introduction
The Powerware 9315 Parallel Capacity/Redundant online power protection system
is utilized to prevent loss of valuable electronic information, minimize equipment
downtime, and/or minimize the adverse effect on equipment production due to
unexpected power problems.
The Powerware 9315 Parallel Capacity/Redundant System continually monitors
incoming electrical power and removes the surges, spikes, sags, and other
irregularities that are inherent in commercial utility power. Working with your
building’s electrical system, the Parallel Capacity/Redundant System supplies
clean, consistent power that your sensitive electronic equipment requires for
reliable operation. And during brownouts, blackouts, and other power
interruptions, optional battery racks provide emergency power to safeguard
your operation.
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system, using the Powerware
t
PowerHandlerPlus
eight UPMs to operate in parallel to provide more capacity than a single UPM and
as backup for each other. The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system can supply up
to 4000 Amps, depending on the SSBM used. In addition, when one UPM is taken
out of service for maintenance or is not operating properly, the redundant UPM
continues to supply uninterrupted power to the critical load. The Parallel
Capacity/Redundant system refers to the SSBM in conjunction with the UPMs. The
Parallel Capacity/Redundant system consists of a Switchboard System Bypass
Module with optional System Maintenance Bypass (SMB), two or more UPMs, and
battery racks or cabinets. Each UPM may have its own battery rack, or may share
the same battery rack with the other UPMs. The SSBM has temporary load bank
tabs to allow full load testing of the UPMs and the SSBM.
Your UPMs functions automatically and requires very little attention during normal
operation. However, you should read and understand the procedures described in
this manual to ensure trouble-free operation. In particular, you should be
thoroughly familiar with the Emergency UPM Off procedure described in Chapter 7
of this manual and Emergency Load Off procedure described in the Powerware9315 UPS Operation manual provided with the UPM.
This manual describes how to install and operate your Powerware
Parallel Capacity/Redundant system. The installation section contains instructions
for installing the Powerware PowerHandlerPlusModule (SSBM). The operation section contains instructions for operating the
SSBM and UPMs while paralleling for capacity/redundancy. The information you
use depends on the system you purchased.

Getting Started
1.1Installing the UPS
The Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM) and UPMs of the Parallel
Capacity/Redundant system are shipped on separate pallets. Use a forklift or pallet
jack to move the packaged cabinets to the installation site, or as close as possible
to the site, before unloading from the pallet.
This is the basic sequence of the installation steps:
1. Create an installation plan for the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system
(Chapter 1).
2. Prepare your site for the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system (Chapter 1).
3. Inspect, unpack, and unload the SSBM (Chapter 1).
4. Inspect, unpack, and unload the UPMs (refer to the applicable Powerware
9315 Installation manual provided with the UPM).

Page 24
1.1.2Preparing Your Site
For your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system to operate at peak efficiency, your
installation site should meet the environmental parameters outlined in the
operator’s manual for the SSBM and UPMs. If you intend to operate the system at
an altitude higher than 1500 meters (5000 feet), contact your local sales or service
office for important information about high altitude operation. The operating
environment must meet the size and weight requirements shown in the enclosed
vendor drawings.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the Parallel
Capacity/Redundant system are:
Ambient Temperature Range:0 --- 2 5 ˚C (32---77˚F)
The UPM cabinets use forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature.
The SSBM, battery and optional component cabinets use convection cooling to
regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front of the cabinet, and
outlets are in the top. You must allow clearance in front of and above each cabinet for
proper air circulation.
1.1.3Environment Considerations
The life of the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system will be adversely affected if the
installation does not meet the following guidelines:
1. The system must be installed on a sealed concrete pad or a sealed concrete
floor.
2. The system must be installed in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of
conductive contaminants.
1.1.4Preparing for Wiring the Parallel Capacity/Redundant
System
NOTE: The external wiring and conduit sizings described in this manual are only
provided as a recommended approach. Many design considerations may
require an external wiring and conduit configuration much different than the
examples provided in this manual. Applicable local codes and national
codes must be followed.
Table A in Appendix A covers SSBM and SMB power cabling for a 3
∅
system. Table A is based on the entire 3
ambient and the use of 90_C copper wire. The 500kcmil and 600kcmil cables
are used as examples.
Table B in Appendix A covers SSBM and SMB power cabling for a 3
system. Table B is based on the entire 3
ambient, use of 90_C copper wire and a 0.80 derating factor because there are
more than three current carrying conductors in a raceway (NEC Table 310 ---16
and Notes). The 500kcmil and 600kcmil cables are used as examples.

A), E9 (∅B), E10 (∅C),
and E4 (Neutral)
Table O covers the recommended wiring and conduit sizing based on the
applicable Powerware 9315 Installation manual provided with the UPM. Using
the noted power wiring, Table O shows the number of UPMs that can be
connected toeach SSBM model. This number of UPMs is limitedby thenumber
of cables connections for the SSBM module input terminals E8, E9, E10, and
E4showninTableCinAppendixA.
If the parallel capacity/redundant system requires the connection of more
UPMs to the SSBM than is shown in T a ble O, refer to Table P. Table P covers
the recommended wiring and conduit sizing to support connection of the
maximum number of UPMs (up to eight) for each SSBM model.
CAUTION:
The UPM output wiring configurations in Table O in Appendix A do not
that shown in the applicable Powerware 9315 UPS Installation manual. Review
the planned UPM output power cables to ensure the planned cabling is
compatible with the available number of cable connections at both the UPM
and SSBM terminals.
match
Powerware UPMs are rated for operation in a 40_C room ambient. For this
∅
reason, Table O and P are based on the entire 3
/ 3W system being housed
in a 40_C room ambient, the use of 90_C copper wire and a 0.80 derating factor
because there are more than three current carrying conductors in a raceway
(NEC Table 310 ---16 and Notes).
Refer to the applicable Powerware 9315 Installation manual provided with the
UPM for all other UPM power cable requirements (AC input, DC input, and
grounding)
NOTE: Review Table C in Appendix A to ensure the planned power cable
configuration is compatible with the available number of cable connections
at each SSBM and SBM terminal.
NOTE: If additional cable connections are required, consider using FCI HYSTACK
Type ASA --- U adapters. HYSTACK P/N ASA250U covers NEMA 2-hole
terminals for wire siz es from #8 AWG to 250kcmil. HYSTACK P/N ASA800U
covers NEMA 2-hole terminals for wire sizes from #8 AWG to 800kcmil.
Care must be taken in HYSTACK adapters to ensure the required
phase-to-phase clearance of 1 inch and phase-to-ground clearance of
1 inch (1.5 inches in Canada) is maintained.
For external wiring, including the recommended minimum AWG size of external
wiring, see Tables A, B, O, and P in Appendix A. The power wiring connections for
this equipment are rated at 90˚C. Ifwireisruninanambienttemperaturegreater
than noted above, higher temperature and/or larger size wire may be necessary.
Control wiring for PowerNet, EPO and optional accessories (such as building
alarms, monitoring interface and Maintenance Bypass control) should be
connected at the customer interface panel at the top of the SSBM Powernode
Panel (A1), which is shown in drawing 164201373---12 in Appendix A.

Understanding Parallel
Capacity/Redundant System Operation
7
The Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM) supports the normal operation of
the Powerware 9315 Parallel Capacity/Redundant system by offering parallel
capacity/redundant capability. The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system continues
to maintain power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power
brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency
conditions. Refer to Figure 164201373 ---3 in Appendix A of this manual for the
detailed relationship of the SSBM and the UPMs.
If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in the
Powerware 9315 Operation manual, the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system uses
a backup battery supply to sustain power to the critical load for a specified period
of time or until the utility power returns. For extended power outages, the backup
battery supply allows you to either transfer to an alternate power system (such as a
generator) or shut down the critical load in an orderly manner. Refer to the
Powerware 9315 Operation manual provided with the UPMs for operation of the
UPMs.
7.1Looking Inside the Parallel Capacity/Redundant
System
The output of the system is normally supplied by several Uninterruptible Power
Modules (UPMs). Multiple UPMs are connected with their outputs in parallel to
provide a load level greater than the rating of one UPM and for redundancy. The
paralleled UPMs supply the output load with protected power as long as the load
does not exceed the combined rating of the paralleled UPMs.
The power system is denoted redundant as long as one of the UPMs can be
disconnected from the output bus and the remaining UPMs can continue to supply
power to the load without exceeding their ratings.
The SSBM, contains switchgear and components that allow the the UPMs to be
paralleled and the source of system output power to be transferred between
Bypass and the paralleled UPMs.
When the load is being supplied by the UPMs, the system output bus is
continuously monitored by the SSBM for an over or under voltage condition. If an
out of limits condition is detected, the SSBM will transfer the load to bypass using a
high speed emergency bypass. The transfer will occur in less than 4 milliseconds.
The emergency bypass consist of a static switch, a wraparound bypass breaker
(CBP) and a backfeed protection breaker (FBP). The backfeed protection breaker
is located in series with the static switch. If an SCR shorts, the breaker will open so
that the UPMs will not backfeed the bypass source, dropping the load when a utility
outage occurs.
Powerware 9315 Parallel Capacity/Redundant System with PHP SSBM
164201373 Rev. A092402
7--1
Page 54
During maintenance, the output of the system can be supplied power through the
bypass breakers in the SSBM or the optional System Maintenance Bypass (SMB).
The bypass input and breaker must be rated for the total system load since it must
supply all of the system load when on bypass. Manual transfers between the
bypass source and the paralleled UPMs are verified make before break.
Operations during transfers to bypass differ depending on the type of transfer:
Manual or Emergency. Manual and Emergency transfers function as follows:
Fully Rated Static Switch:
For Manual transfers to bypass, the static switch is not used. During the transfer,
CBP is closed and verified and then CBS is opened. For transfers of the load from
bypass to the UPMs, CBS is closed and verified and then CBP is opened. The
static switch is armed and ready during both types of transfers.
For Emergency transfers to bypass, the static switch is turned on. During the
transfer, CBP is closed and verified and then CBS is opened. The static switch
turns off after a set time delay which allows the CBP and CBS breakers to complete
their transfer.
Communications is required between the SSBM and UPMs in the system for full
system operation. System level communications and control are accomplished
using a dual redundant network known as PowerNet. PowerNet consists of two
independent networks that are connected to each component network node in the
parallel system.
Data is always transmitted on both networks simultaneously. Each network node
monitors both PowerNets. Failure of one of the two will only result in an alarm
condition. In addition, the applications at each node are designed such that
messages can be lost on the network without affecting the operation of the system.

7.2Standard Modes of Parallel Operation:
Normal, Battery, and Bypass Modes
With the Parallel Capacity/Redundant s ystem, the system continues to function
automatically to supply AC electrical power to the critical load. There are three
standard operation modes:
•In Normal mode, Parallel Capacity/Redundant system functions normally,
suppling clean, filtered power from the UPMs to the load.
•In Bypass mode, the SSBM bypass input supplies the load and isolates the
UPMs.
•In Battery mode, the battery cabinet supplies DC power, which maintains UPM
operation.
The following descriptions provide the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system
operating mode differences.

Page 56
7.2.1Normal Mode
In Normal mode, utility AC power is supplied to the UPMs. Power from the output
of the UPMs is then supplied to the SSBM for parallel operation. The SSBM then
supplies the critical load with clean, filtered AC power. The message “System
Normal” appears in the status area of the Control Panel LCD screen.

If the utility AC power is interrupted or is out of specification, the UPMs
automatically switch to Battery mode to support the critical load with no
interruption. When utility power returns, the UPMs return to Normal mode.
If the UPMs becomes overloaded or unavailable, the SSBM switches to Bypass
mode. The SSBM automatically returns to Normal mode when the error condition
is cleared and system operation is restored within specified limits.

7.2.2Bypass Mode
The SSBM automatically switches to Bypass mode if it detects a UPM overload,
UPMs unavailable, load fault, or internal failure. The bypass source supplies the
commercial AC power to the load directly.
CAUTION:
The critical load is not protected while the SSBM is in Bypass mode.
Figure 7 ---2 shows the path of electrical power through the Parallel
Capacity/Redundant system when operating in Bypass mode.

You can transfer the SSBM from Normal mode to Bypass mode manually.
However, the SSBM switches automatically to Bypass mode whenever the UPMs
can no longer supply the critical load. If the SSBM transfers to Bypass mode from
Normal mode due to an o utput voltage deviation, the SSBM automatically attempts
to transfer back to Normal mode (up to three times within a 10-minute period).
The fourth transfer or an overload condition will lock the critical load on the bypass
source and requires operator intervention to transfer.
Bypass mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition. However, if
the SSBM is unable to return to Normal mode following an automatic transfer to
Bypass mode, an alarm condition will be recorded.

7.2.3Battery Mode
The UPMs transfers to Battery mode automatically if a utility power outage occurs,
or if the utility power does not conform to specified parameters. In Battery mode,
the batteries provide emergency DC power that the inverters convert to AC power.
When the UPMs switch to Battery mode, the alarm indications depend on the
cause and condition of the battery charge. The length of time the system can
operate in Battery mode depends on loading and the battery supply capacity.

When the discharging battery voltage reaches the lower limit of UPM operational
capability, the critical load is transferred by the SSBM to Bypass mode, if it is
available. If Bypass input is not available, a “Shutdown Imminent” warning occurs.
The warning time before critical load loss occurs is approximately 2 minutes,
depending on battery capacity and the amount of loading.
If incoming power returns to within specified parameters, the UPMs automatically
return to Normal mode and alarm indications clear. However, the process of
returning to Normal mode is not instantaneous. The UPMs gradually draw
increasing power from the incoming utility until Normal mode is achieved.

7.3Optional Modes of Parallel Operation:
Maintenance Bypass and Redundant CBP
There are two optional modes of operation in this Parallel Capacity/Redundant
system:
•In Maintenance Bypass mode (optional), the SMB bypass supplies the load and
isolates the SSBM and UPMs for maintenance purposes.
•In Redundant CBP mode (optional), if the CBP breaker fails to close during a
manual or automatic operation, the SSBM automatically closes the MBP
breaker to maintain power to the critical load.
The following descriptions provide the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system
optional operating mode differences.

7.3.1Maintenance Bypass Mode (Optional)
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system can be manually transferred to
maintenance bypass if the System Maintenance Bypass (SMB) has been provided.
Maintenance bypass is used when the system is not operating or is in need of
service. The maintenance bypass source supplies the commercial AC power to the
load directly. The SMB is configured with electrical interlocks.
CAUTION:
The critical load is not protected while the Parallel Capacity/Redundant
system is in Maintenance Bypass mode.

7.3.2Redundant CBP Mode (Optional)
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system can be protected against failure of the
CBP breaker to close if an electrically interlocked System Maintenance Bypass
(SMB) with Redundant CBP controls has been provided. The Redundant CBP
controls protect the critical load against power losses caused by CBP close failures
during manual or automatic operations.
Redundant CBP operations can be recognized by an alarm condition at the SSBM
and the following breaker conditions:
CBPOPEN
CBSOPEN
FBPOPEN
MISCLOSED
MBPCLOSED
CAUTION:
The critical load is not protected while the Parallel Capacity/Redundant
system is in Maintenance Bypass or Bypass mode.
Once Redundant CBP operation has occurred, the SSBM must be isolated to allow
CBP breaker maintenance without impact on the system’s critical load. To achieve
SSBM isolation, the Redundant CBP controls have been interlocked with the
System Maintenance Bypass controls. To exit from Redundant CBP operation, the
SMB control switch must be turned to the TO MAINT position. This action opens
the UPS system MIS breaker and places the the UPS system fully into Maintenance
Bypass mode.
After the CBP breaker has been repaired, the UPS system can be transferred from
MaintenanceBypassmodetoBypassmodeasdescribedabove.

Operational Controls
and Features
8.1General
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system should function automatically and require
very little attention during normal operation. The controls and indicators identified
in this section are used during startup, to monitor normal operation and during
abnormal events.
Figure 8--- 1 (sheets 1 thru 4) identify and show the location of the controls and
indicators on the typical Switchboard S ystem Bypass Module (SSBM) control
section. The following descriptions provide a brief overview of the SSBM controls,
and standard and optional features.
NOTE: Read the Operation section and have thorough knowledge of Parallel
Capacity/Redundant operation before attempting to operate. For a more
detailed description of UPS operation, refer to Powerware 9315 Operation
manual supplied with the UPS system.
8.2SSBM Standard Features
8
The SSBM has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently
reliable power protection:
8.2.1Control Panel
The Control Panel on the front of the SSBM control section contains an LCD screen
to display the current status of the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system. You can
view a statistical history and log of system events and display a real-time graphic
representation of power flowing through the system components. Backlit status
indicators show the operating mode of the SSBM and alert you to system events.
The SYSTEM MODE switch, also located on this panel, is used to start and stop the
system and transfer the load between normal UPM operation and bypass operation.
The EMERGENCY UPM OFF pushbutton is located at the top of the control panel,
and the PUSH IN TO RESET button for EMERGENCY UPM OFF is located above
the SYSTEM MODE switch. The Control Panel is described in chapter 9, “Using the
Control Panel”.
8.2.2SSBM Circuit Breakers
The SSBM contains three circuit breakers, the System Output Breaker (CBS), the
System Bypass Breaker (CBP), and the Backfeed Protection Breaker (FBP).
CBS connects the output of the UPMs to the critical load. CBP is used as the
bypass supply in the event the output of the UPMs are not available and to supply
the critical load during maintenance. FBP is used to prevent power from being fed
back to the UPMs in the event the static switch fails. These breakers are electrically
controlled by the SSBM and are automatic in operation.

8.2.3SMB Circuit Breakers
The System Maintenance Bypass (SMB) contains two breakers: the Maintenance
Bypass Breaker (MBP) and the Maintenance Isolation Breaker (MIS). The MIS
connects the output of the UPMs to the critical load via CBS. The MBP is used as
the bypass in the event the output of the SSBM is not available and to supply the
critical load during SSBM maintenance. These breakers are manually controlled
through electrical interlocks which include a control switch mounted inside the
Control Section on the A1 Panel.
8.2.4Fully Rated Static Switch
The fully rated static switch is connected in series with the FBP and is only gated
on during emergency transfers from Normal to Bypass mode. The fully rated static
switch is electrically controlled by the SSBM and is automatic in operation.
8.2.5EMERGENCY UPM OFF
An EMERGENCY UPM OFF pushbutton is provided for situations where you must
instantaneously control the UPM and SSBM output. The pushbutton is located on
the front of the SSBM for quick access and is covered with a clear plastic shield to
prevent inadvertent operation. The shield must be raised before pressing the
pushbutton. The EMERGENCY UPM OFF pushbutton is described in detail in
Chapter 10, “Operating Instructions for the Parallel Capacity/Redundant System.”
8.2.6Customer Interface Panel
PowerNet
Two redundant control networks connect UPM to UPM and UPM to the SSBM. Each
network requires only one shielded twisted pair of wires. Refer to Appendix A, drawing
164201335 ---4 for further information.

automatically transferred from bypass to the UPMs via the CBS breaker and
system is operating in Normal mode.
NOTE: If transfer is not completed within one minute, the SYSTEM MODE key
switch must be turned momentarily to NORMAL again to achieve normal
operation.
10.3.4Single UPM Shutdown
NOTE: If system is not redundant, UPM cannot be shut down using this procedure.
1. On UPM, turn the MODE key switch to BYPASS for three seconds.
2. Verify that UPS breakers CB1 and CB3 and battery breaker CB2 (MBB) are
open and the UPM powers down.
3. On SSBM monitor screen, verify UPS OFF, message appears.
WARNING:
Power is present at UPM CB1 input, until
breaker is opened. The
load side of CB3 will still have voltage present.
