5.5 Uninterruptible AC power supplies

5.5 5.5 Uninterruptible AC power supplies

Introduction

This chapter describes the considerations involved in using an uninterruptible AC power supply (AC UPS) for the Panel PC.

Due to legal regulations related to reducing reactive-power consumption in public and private electrical networks, all AC voltage supplies in Panel PCs feature a power factor correction (PFC) circuit. Technically, there is passive PFC and active PFC.

Active PFC

All Panel PC 87x, Panel PC 577 and Panel PC 677 feature an active PFC. Active PFC requires almost perfect sinusoidal input voltage.

Caution Uninterruptible AC power supplies (AC UPS) with non-sinusoidal wave form damage the

power supply unit of Panel PCs with active PFC. Make that the AC UPS supplies a sinusoidal output voltage in normal and battery mode for

use on a Panel PC with active PFC.

Selection criteria for an uninterruptible power supply

Uninterruptible power supplies with sinusoidal output voltage in normal and battery mode are classified as "VFI-SS-…" or "VI-SS-…".

UPS characteristics are described and classified in EN 50091-3 and IEC 62040-3.

5.6 Connecting the equipotential bonding

Avoiding differences in potential

Differences in potential arise between separated system parts, which in some cases lead to high equalization currents. This situation may arise if the cable shielding is terminated at both ends and grounded at different system parts. Potential differences can be caused, for example, by different power inputs.

Reduce the differences in potential by laying the equipotential bonding cables in such a way that the affected electronic components function properly. Observe the following guidelines when setting up equipotential bonding:

• When two system parts are connected by means of a shielded signal cable, and their

shields are both connected to the ground or protective conductor, the following must be observed: The impedance of the additional equipotential bonding cable amounts to 10% of the shield impedance, at the most.

• Ensure that the equipotential bonding cable cross-section is selected to accommodate

the maximum equalization current. The equipotential bonding conductor cross-section that has proven best in practice is 16 mm

• Use equipotential bonding conductors made of copper or galvanized steel. Connect the

cables to the ground or protective conductor over a wide area. Protect the ground or protective conductor from corrosion.

• Lay the equipotential bonding cable in such a way that the area between the equipotential

bonding cable and signal cables is as small as possible.
