Operation Modes UPS
Operation Modes
The UPS has two different levels of operation modes:
• UPS mode: The operation mode of the individual UPS. See UPS Modes,
page 11.
• System mode: The operation mode of the complete UPS system that
supplies the load. See System Modes, page 13.
UPS Modes
Normal Operation
In normal operation, the UPS supports the load with conditioned power.
Battery Operation
If the utility/mains supply fails, the UPS transfers to battery operation and supports
the load with conditioned power from the DC source.
Requested Static Bypass Operation
The UPS can be transferred to requested static bypass operation following a
command from the display. During requested static bypass operation, the load is
supplied from the bypass source. If a fault is detected, the UPS will transfer to
normal operation or forced static bypass operation. If there is an interruption to the
utility/mains supply during requested static bypass operation, the UPS will transfer
to battery operation.
Forced Static Bypass Operation
The UPS is in forced static bypass operation following a command from the UPS
or because the user has pressed the inverter OFF button on the UPS. During
forced static bypass operation, the load is supplied from the bypass source.
NOTE: The batteries are not available as an alternate power source while the
UPS is in forced static bypass operation.
Maintenance Bypass Operation
When the maintenance bypass breaker MBB is closed in the external
maintenance bypass cabinet or third party switchgear, the UPS transfers to
external maintenance bypass operation. The load is supplied with unconditioned
power from the bypass source. Service and replacement can be performed on the
entire UPS during external maintenance bypass operation via the maintenance
bypass breaker MBB.
NOTE: The batteries are not available as an alternate power source while the
UPS is in external maintenance bypass operation.
Static Bypass Standby Operation
Static bypass standby is only applicable to an individual UPS in a parallel system.
The UPS enters static bypass standby operation if the UPS is prevented from
entering forced static bypass operation and the other UPSs of the parallel system
can support the load. In static bypass standby the output of the specific UPS is
OFF. The UPS automatically transfers to the preferred operation mode when
possible.
990-91379A-001 11
UPS Operation Modes
NOTE: If the other UPSs cannot support the load, the parallel system
transfers to forced static bypass operation. The UPS in static bypass standby
operation will then transfer to forced static bypass operation.
Battery Test
The UPS is in battery test mode when the UPS is performing a battery self-test or
a runtime calibration.
NOTE: The battery test will be aborted if the utility/mains supply is interrupted
or if a critical alarm is present and the UPS will return to normal operation
upon return of utility/mains.
ECO Mode
ECO mode allows the UPS to be configured to use requested static bypass, with
the load supplied through the bypass, as the preferred operation mode under
predefined circumstances. If a fault is detected (bypass voltage out of tolerance,
output voltage out of tolerance, etc), the UPS will immediately transfer to normal
operation or forced static bypass. The main advantage of ECO mode is a
reduction in the consumption of electrical power. In case of interruption to the
utility/mains supply, the UPS transfers to battery operation for an uninterrupted
supply of the load. The batteries are charged when the UPS is in ECO mode.
NOTE: When changes to ECO mode settings are made on one UPS in a
parallel system, the settings are shared to all UPSs in the parallel system.
ECOnversion Mode
OFF Mode
ECOnversion allows the UPS to supply the active part of the load through the
static bypass. The inverter is kept running in parallel with the bypass source and
supplies the reactive part of the load. The input power factor of the UPS is,
regardless of the load power factor, maintained close to unity as the reactive part
of the load is significantly reduced in the UPS input current. In case of an
interruption to the utility/mains supply, the inverter immediately maintains the
output voltage so that breaks or drops during the transfer from ECOnversion mode
are practically eliminated. The batteries are charged when the UPS is in
ECOnversion mode.
NOTE: When changes to ECOnversion mode settings are made on one UPS
in a parallel system, the settings are shared to all UPSs in the parallel system.
The UPS is not supplying the load with power. The batteries are charged and the
display is on.
12 990-91379A-001
Operation Modes UPS
System Modes
The system mode indicates the output status of the complete UPS system
including the surrounding switchgear and indicates which source supplies the
load.
Inverter Operation
In inverter operation the load is supplied by the inverters. The UPS mode can be
in either normal or battery operation when the system operation mode is inverter
operation.
Requested Static Bypass Operation
When the system is in requested static bypass operation, the load is supplied from
the bypass source. If a fault is detected, the system will transfer to inverter
operation or forced static bypass operation.
Forced Static Bypass Operation
The system is in forced static bypass operation following a command from the
UPS system or because the user has pressed the inverter OFF button on the
UPSs. During forced static bypass operation, the load is supplied directly by the
bypass source with unconditioned power.
NOTE: The batteries are not available as an alternate power source while the
system is in forced static bypass operation.
Maintenance Bypass Operation
In maintenance bypass operation, the load is supplied directly by the bypass
source with unconditioned power.
NOTE: The batteries are not available as an alternate power source in
maintenance bypass operation.
ECO Mode
ECO mode allows the system to be configured to use requested static bypass
operation, with the load supplied through the bypass, as the preferred operation
mode under predefined circumstances. The main advantage of ECO mode is a
reduction in the consumption of electrical power. In case of interruption to the
utility/mains supply, the UPS transfers to inverter operation for an uninterrupted
supply of the load.
NOTE: When changes to ECO mode settings are made on one UPS in a
parallel system, the settings are shared to all UPSs in the parallel system.
ECOnversion Mode
ECOnversion allows the system to supply the active part of the load through the
bypass. The inverter is kept running in parallel with the bypass source and
supplies the reactive part of the load. The input power factor of the UPS is,
regardless of the load power factor, maintained close to unity as the reactive part
of the load is significantly reduced in the UPS input current. In case of an
interruption to the utility/mains supply, the inverter immediately maintains the
output voltage so that breaks or drops during the transfer from ECOnversion mode
are practically eliminated.
NOTE: When changes to ECOnversion mode settings are made on one UPS
in a parallel system, the settings are shared to all UPSs in the parallel system.

f. Set the Overload threshold (%). The overload range is 0% to 100%,
default is 75%.
g. Set the Transformer voltage compensation (%). The transformer
voltage compensation range is 0% to 3%, default is 0%. See Output
Transformer Voltage Compensation, page 17 for more details and
Configure the UPS Input, page 15 for configuring that an output
transformer is present.
h. Tap OK to save your settings.
Output Transformer Voltage Compensation
It is possible to compensate for an output transformer and balance the output
voltage drop (0-3%).
1. Disconnect the load from the UPS.
2. Measure the voltage on the secondary side of the transformer at 0% load,
and adjust the output voltage of the UPS manually via the Voltage
compensation (%) setting to compensate for the voltage offset, if any .
3. Connect the load to the UPS.
4. Measure the voltage on the secondary side of the transformer again at X%
load, and adjust the output voltage of the UPS via the Transformer voltage
compensation (%) setting to compensate for the voltage drop in the
transformer.
The transformer voltage compensation required at the specific load is used to
make an automatic linear output voltage adjustment on the UPS according to the
output load percentage.
