Introduction
Powerware BPIV UPS true double conversion online power protection can be 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 UPS 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 UPS
System supplies clean, consistent power that your sensitive electronic equipment
requires for reliable operation. During brownouts, blackouts, and other power
interruptions, internal and optional external battery strings provide emergency power to
safeguard your operation.
The UPS system is housed in free-standing cabinets. The cabinet sections line up and
match in style and color, and have safety shields behind the front panels for hazardous
voltage protection. The following illustrations depict a typical Powerware BPIV
(10 kVA---15 kVA) UPS System and a typical Powerware BPIV (20 kVA--- 30 kVA) UPS

Understanding UPS
Operation
7.1Looking Inside the UPS System
The Powerware BPIV is a continuous duty, solid-state, transformerless (at 208
VAC), three phase, true online system that provide conditioned and uninterruptible
AC power to the UPS systems output. The UPS supports process control, data
processing, telecommunications/PBX, research, and non---patient medical
equipment. The Powerware BPIV maintains power to the critical loads during
commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and
out-of-tolerance frequency conditions.
The basic system consists of a rectifier, battery charger, DC booster, inverter,
monitoring/operation control panel, integrated communications server, and
microprocessor controlled (DSP) logic.
In this manual, the power required by your equipment is called the critical load.The
UPS supplies the critical load with conditioned power that is synchronized with your
utility power. Figure 7--- 1 shows the main elements of the UPS.

Figure 7 ---1.Main Elements of the UPS System
If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in Chapter 15,
“Product Specifications,” the UPS uses a backup battery supply to maintain power
to the critical load for a specified period of time or until the utility power returns.
Forextendedpoweroutages,theUPSallowsyoutoeithertransfertoanalternative
power system (such as a generator) or shut down your critical load in an orderly
manner.
The emergency bypass consists of a continuous duty static switch, and backfeed
protection contactor (K5). The backfeed protection contactor is located in series
with the static switch. For manual transfers to bypass, the static switch is also
used. The static switch is armed and ready during both types of transfers.
A wraparound Maintenance Bypass switch provides a means of isolating the UPS
Power Processsing Unit (PPU) for servicing, while still suppling power to the critical
load.
The operation of the UPS system is described in greater detail in the following
paragraphs.

164201406 Rev. C 013004
7.2UPS Modes
The UPS system functions automatically to supply AC electrical power to the critical
load. There are four standard operation modes:
•In Normal mode, the critical load is supplied by the inverter, which derives its power
from rectified utility AC power. In this mode, the battery charger also provides charging
current for the battery, if needed.
•In Bypass and High Efficiency mode, the critical load is directly supported by utility
power.
•In Battery mode, the battery provides DC power, which maintains inverter operation.
The battery supports the critical load.
•In Test and Maintenance Bypass modes, the critical load is directly supported by utility
power, but the UPS can be shut down for maintenance.
The UPS continually monitors itself and the incoming utility power, and
automatically switches between these modes as required, with no operator
intervention, except for the Maintenance Bypass mode. The sophisticated
detection and switching logic inside the UPS ensures that operating mode changes
are automatic and transparent to the critical load. The UPS switches operating
modes in response to these system events:
•A command is an intervention that is externally initiated by an operator or by some site
action. A command causes the UPS to switch operating modes; it usually does not
require any further action by you.
•A notice is a minor system event that may or may not require your attention.
•An alarm is a system event that requires immediate operator i ntervention.
System events, alarm horns, and indicator lights are described in Chapter 12,
“Responding to System Events.”
The following descriptions provide the differences in UPS operating modes.

Figure 7 ---2.Path of Current Through the UPS in Normal Mode
During normal UPS operation, power for the system is derived from a utility input
source through the input breaker CB1 and contactor K1. ”Normal” appears on the
front panel and indicates the incoming power is within voltage and frequency
acceptance windows. Three phase AC input power is converted to DC using a
full--- wave, six---pulse, solid---state rectifier block which supplies unregulated DC
voltage to a boost converter which in turn supplies a higher and regulated DC
voltage to the inverter. The battery is not charged directly from the unregulated
rectifier. Instead, a separate battery charger is used to maintain the proper charge
level on the battery during normal operation.
MAINTENANCE
7--4
Powerware BPIV (10 kVA-- 30 kVA) Installation and Operation
164201406 Rev. C 013004
The battery charger derives its input from the unregulated DC output of the rectifier
and provides regulated DC voltage and charge current to the battery. The battery
charge condition is monitored by the UPS and reported by status indicators
located on the LCD monitor panel. The battery is always connected to the UPS
and ready to support the inverter should the utility input become unavailable.
The DC boost converter derives power from the unregulated DC rectifier and
produces an elevated and stable DC voltage and current source for the inverter.
The boost converter also establishes the systems output neutral for supporting
single phase AC loads from any phase of the inverter output. The output neutral of
the system is connected with the required neutral supplied at the utility bypass
input and should never be bonded to ground at the modules output.
The inverter produces a three phase AC output to a customers load without the use
of a transformer. The inverter derives power from the boost converters regulated
DC and utilizes IGBT devices and pulse---width modulation (PWM) to produce a
regulated and filtered AC output. The AC output of the inverter is delivered to the
system output through the output contactor (K3).
If the utility AC power is interrupted or is out of specification, the UPS automatically
switches to Battery mode to support the critical load with no interruption. When
utility power returns, the UPS returns to Normal mode.
If the UPS becomes overloaded or unavailable, the UPS switches to Bypass mode.
The UPS automatically returns to Normal mode when the overload condition is
cleared and system operation is restored within specified limits.
If the UPS suffers an internal failure, it switches automatically to Bypass mode and
remains in that mode until the failure is corrected and the UPS is back in service.

Figure 7 ---3.Path of Current Through the UPS in Bypass Mode
In Bypass mode, the output of the system is provided with three phase AC power
directly from the system input. W hile in this mode, the output of the system is not
protected from voltage or frequency fluctuations or power outages from the source.
Some power line filtering and spike protection is provided to the load but no active
power conditioning or battery support is available to the output of the system in the
Bypass mode of operation.
The internal bypass is comprised of a solid state silicon controlled rectifier (SCR)
static switch (SSW), and a back feed protection contactor (K5). The static switch is
rated as a continuous duty device that is used anytime the boost converter and
inverter is unable to support the applied load. The static switch is wired in series
with the back feed protection contactor and together they are wired in parallel with
7--6
Powerware BPIV (10 kVA-- 30 kVA) Installation and Operation
164201406 Rev. C 013004
the inverter rectifier. The static switch being an electronically controlled device can
be turned on immediately to pickup the load from the inverter while the inverter
output contactor K3 opens to isolates the inverter. The back feed protection
contactor is normally always closed ready to support the static switch unless the
bypass input source becomes unavailable.
During an outage, transfers to bypass are prohibited and for the safety of those
who may be working on the power lines upstream from the UPS, the back feed
protection contactor is opened, preventing system output voltage from bleeding
across the static switch snubber components to the bypass input source.
If the inverter is unable to support the load on the output of the system, to ensure
the load remains energized, the UPS will transfer the load to the internal bypass.
The output of the system will be transferred automatically to the internal bypass if
any of the following abnormal conditions occur on the output of the system: If the
output of the system exceeds acceptable voltage tolerances; System is
overloaded; Inverter failure. The transfer is initiated by turning on the static switch
and opening the output contactor K3. This kind of transfer is normally referred to as
a Make ---Before---Break transfer. The transfer should take place in less than 4 mS
(quarter cycle) to ensure loads on the systems output are not interrupted. The
static switch remains o n until either the inverter is able to support the system output
or the unit is placed into a maintenance position where repairs can be made.
If the UPS initiates its own transfer to bypass for any reason other than operator
intervention, the UPS will attempt to restart the inverter (if not running already) and
attempt a retransfer back on line to support the output of the system. Three
attempts will be made within ten minutes to bring the inverter back on--- line
automatically before the UPS will lock out any further attempts. After three
attempts have been made, the UPS will remain in bypass and an alarm condition
will be enunciated. The UPS can also be transferred to bypass using the front
panel controls.
Bypass mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition. However, if
the UPS is unable to return to Normal mode following an automatic transfer to
Bypass mode, an alarm condition is recorded.

Figure 7 ---4.Path of Current Through the UPS in High Efficiency Mode
In High Efficiency mode, the output of the system is provided with three phase AC
power directly from the system bypass input. Some power line filtering and spike
protection is provided to the load but no active power conditioning or battery
support is available to the output of the system in the High Efficiency mode of
operation. However if the bypass source falls outside of a predetermined voltage
or frequency window, the system forward transfers and the inverter assumes the
load. The transfer takes place in less than 4 ms (quarter cycle), to ensure loads
being fed by the system output are not interrupted.
The internal bypass is comprised of a solid state silicon controlled rectifier (SCR)
static switch (SSW), and a back feed protection contactor (K5). The static switch is
rated as a continuous duty device. The static switch is wired in series with the back
feed protection contactor and together they are wired in parallel with the inverter.
In the High Efficiency mode, the static switch is turned on to supply the majority of
the load current directly to the load while the Inverter remains on line, ready to
assume suppling the load.
High Efficiency mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition.

The UPS 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
battery provides emergency DC power that the inverter converts to AC power.

Figure 7 ---5.Path of Current Through the UPS in Battery Mode
During a utility power failure, the rectifier no longer has an AC utility source in which
to supply the DC output current required to support the battery charger and boost
converter. The input contactor (K1) is opened, the battery charger is turned off, and
battery SCR (Q10) and battery contactor (K2) both receive signals to turn on
enable to supply battery power to the system. Because the battery SCR is an
electronic device, it supplies momentary battery power to the system during the
time it takes the contacts of K2 to close. Energy stored in the battery is supplied
instantaneously to the boost converter so that the inverter and customers load can
be supported without interruption. If the bypass is common with the rectifier input,
the backfeed protection contactor (K5) will also open. The opening of contactors
K1 and K5 prevent static system voltages from bleeding backwards through the
static switch and rectifier snubber components and re---entering the input source.
While in battery mode, the UPS will enunciate an audible horn, light a visual
indicator lamp on the front panel (System Normal, On Battery), and make an entry
into the alarm event history. As the battery discharges, the boost converter and
inverter constantly makes minute adjustments enable to maintain a steady output.
The UPS will remain in this operating mode until the input power to the rectifier is
again within the specified voltage or frequency acceptance windows.
Powerware BPIV (10 kVA-- 30 kVA) Installation and Operation
164201406 Rev. C 013004
7--9
If the input power fails to return or is not within the acceptance windows required
for normal operation, the battery will continue discharging until a DC voltage level is
reached where the inverter output can no longer support the connected loads.
When this occurs, the unit will issue another set of audible and visual alarms
indicating SHUTDOWN IMMINENT. Unless the rectifier has a valid input soon, the
output will only be supported for 2 minutes before the output of the system shuts
down. If the bypass source is available, the system will transfer to Bypass instead
of shutting down.
If at any time during the battery discharge the input power becomes available
again, contactors K1 and K5 are closed and the rectifier will begin to supply DC
current to the boost converter and inverter. The battery contactor K2 is opened
while the battery charger is turned back on to begin recharging the battery. At this
point, the unit returns to normal operation. Depending on the amount of load on
the system and the duration of the battery discharge, battery current limit alarms
may be seen for a short time due to the current required to recharge the battery.
The systems total operating time on battery will depend on many factors. Some
factors that affect battery support times are battery type and capacity, number of
parallel strings, environmental temperatures, age of the battery, and fluctuations in
load demand during the discharge. The greater the load, the less support time the
battery will have. Decrease the load, and the battery support time will generally
increase.

7.2.5Test and Maintenance Bypass Modes
An internal maintenance switch is used to safely supply utility power to the system
output during periods of maintenance or repairs. Before this switch is used, the
UPS should be transferred to bypass and the Power Processing Unit (PPU) should
be turned off. This switch has three positions: UPS (normal), TEST, BYPASS. The
bypass source supplies the commercial AC power to the load directly.
While on internal bypass, when a user rotates the maintenance switch from the
UPS position to the TEST position, the load is wrapped around the UPS, while
power is still supplied to the internal bypass. The static switch remains energized
to support the load should the user rotate the switch back to the UPS (normal)
position. When the maintenance switch is rotated back to the UPS position from
the TEST position, the load is switched back to the internal bypass. If the
maintenance switch is rotated to BYPASS instead of to UPS from the TEST
position, the load remains wrapped around the UPS and power is removed from
the entire upper half of the unit allowing service work to be completed on the unit
safely.
Figure 7 ---6 shows the path of electrical power through the UPS system when
operating in Test mode and Figure 7 ---7 shows the path of electrical power through
the UPS system when operating in Maintenance Bypass mode.
CAUTION:
The critical load is not protected while the UPS is in Test or
Maintenance Bypass modes.

7.3Functional Description
The UPS is a true online unit with a series power train. An uncontrolled rectifier
feeds a boost converter, which in turn powers the inverter. The bypass utilizes a
static switch and a maintenance bypass switch is internal to the unit. The unit input
is 3 ---wire in (plus ground) at the rectifier and 4 ---wire in (plus ground) at the
bypass, and 4 wire output. The unit does not incorporate any galvanic isolation,
input to output. The battery string comprises 144 cells (288 volts nominal) and is
charged via a buck or boost converter powered from the raw DC IN from the input
rectifier.
7.3.1Input Rectifier
The Input Rectifier is a full wave bridge uncontrolled rectifier, which produces an
unregulated DC IN Bus. The raw DC at this point will be approximately 290 VDC. A
precharge system precharges the DC IN Bus prior to the input contactor being
closed.
7--12
Powerware BPIV (10 kVA-- 30 kVA) Installation and Operation
164201406 Rev. C 013004
7.3.2Boost Converter and Neutral Regulator
A Boost Converter converts the raw DC IN to a regulated DC Link of approximately
400 volts DC. It is operated in current mode and controlled using a variable
frequency modulation technique at approximately 18--- 20 kHz. An artificial neutral is
generated by the Neutral Regulator (Buck/Boost configuration in current mode
control), which balances the center point to 1/2 the DC Link (+/--- 200 Volts).
7.3.3Inverter and Filter
The Inverter is a traditional (current mode controlled) hard-switched IGBT 3-phase
topology. The IGBTs are modulated by a variable frequency, current ---mode control
technique at approximately 18--- 20 kHz. An output filter filters out the high
frequency switching components (line to neutral).
7.3.4Battery and Battery Charger
The Battery is comprised of a string of 144 cells, made up of twenty-four 12 volt
Battery blocks. The Battery Charger is configured as a simple Buck or Boost
current mode controlled converter (mode auto selected based on I out), powered
by the raw DC IN, which regulates the battery charge voltage/current. The unit
utilizes Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology, which essentially
isolates the Battery from the electrical environment, except for periodic charging or
reserve mode operation, extending its life.
7.3.5Bypass
The Bypass has a continuously rated SCR switch in the Bypass circuit and a
contactor in the Inverter leg. In normal mode, the Contactor connects the Inverter
to the output. A backfeed contactor is also provided.
7.3.6Maintenance Bypass
A user accessible shrouded 4 ---wire Mechanical Maintenance Bypass switch is
provided.
7.3.7External Batteries
External Batteries connect in parallel to the Internal Battery via an internal breaker.
The internal charger charges the Batteries in parallel or in conjunction with an
optional external charger.
