OPERATING MANUAL
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This Operating Manual should be read through carefully before installing and operating
the INV2500-HS inverter modules and shelves. See Figure 1.
1.2 The INV2500-HS is a 2500 volt-ampere, hot-swap, DC to AC inverter module. It con-
verts a nominal 48VDC input into a 115 or 230VAC output at 50 or 60Hz. These modules are designed to go into a 19-inch, hot-swap compatible shelf, INVR2U-HS, which
holds one or two units. When two modules are used in this shelf they are automatically
connected in parallel and synchronized to produce 5000 volt-amperes at 115VAC output
(44 amperes) or 230VAC output (22 amperes). Or they can be operated in a 1+1 redundant mode at 2500 volt-amperes.
1.3 The 48VDC nominal input has a range of 42 to 56VDC. The inverters achieve 90% ef-
ficiency and 7VA per cubic inch power density. Input and output are both circuit breaker
protected. They have high surge capability for starting loads such a motors, but the
output breaker quickly trips if power attempts to flow back into a faulted inverter.
1.4 These inverters can be paralleled for higher output power or for N+1 redundant applica-
tions. They are fully isolated from the battery. Front panel LEDs indicate inverter status,
and Form C relay alarm contacts are available on the back. The units are self-cooled by
internal fans.
1.5 In this manual, unless otherwise stated, INV2500-HS shall generally refer to both
INV2500-HS and INV2500H-HS (115 and 230VAC) inverter models. Likewise INVR2UHS shall generally refer to both INVR2U-HS and INVR2U-HS-H shelf models.

4.0 SAFETY WARNINGS
4.1 These inverters have hazardous external and internal voltages. They should be han-
dled, tested and installed only by qualified technical persons who are trained in the use
of power systems and are well aware of the hazards involved.
4.2 The input and output terminals are at hazardous voltage potentials. Do not touch these
areas when power is applied.
4.3 When operating these inverters, the chassis ground terminal must be connected to
safety ground to minimize electrical shock hazard and to ensure low EMI (electromagnetic interference).
4.4 The internal voltages are at hazardous potentials. The inverter covers should not be re-
moved. There are no user-serviceable components in these units. Removing the covers
of the inverters will void the warranty.
4.5 WARNING: When using “floating neutral”, Option E on the INV2500-HS module or
standard on the INV2500H-HS module, the AC neutral output terminal “N” is floating with respect to AC and chassis ground. A neutral-to-ground connection must
be re-established external to the inverter and be in compliance with the requirements of the end-use application.

7.0 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
7.1 The INV2500-HS modules employ MOSFET and IGBT power semiconductor switches
with advanced, microprocessor controlled, high-frequency, pulse modulation techniques
to produce a low-distortion, 50 or 60Hz sine wave output with 90% efficiency and 7VA
per cubic inch power density. A synchronization circuit lets two or more inverter modules
operate in parallel with their outputs in phase-synchronization and current shared.
7.2 Two INV2500-HS inverter modules in an INVR2U-HS shelf are automatically connected
in parallel in the shelf and become an inverter system with a 115VAC or 230VAC output
at 5,000 volt-amperes.

11.0 SAFETY AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS
11.1 The INV2500-HS inverter modules meet the following safety certifications:
STANDARD AGENCY
UL1950 UL
CSA22.2 No.950 CUL
EN60950 DEMKO
INV2500-HS SERIES
MANUAL
11.2 The INV2500-HS inverter modules are CE marked to indicate conformance to the
European Union’s Low Voltage Directive.
11.3 Input conducted EMI meets FCC20780 part 15J Curve A and EN55022 Curve A.
11.4 Input voice band noise is less than 32dBrnC for a single INV2500-HS with a 240
ampere-hour battery or two INV2500-HSs with a 480 ampere-hour battery.
12.0 OPERATING INFORMATION
12.1 Input Voltage. These telecom inverters operate off a nominal 48VDC input source which
may be a battery or other DC source. The input voltage range is 42 to 56VDC. Input
connections on the back of the INVR2U-HS shelf are to bus bars with no. 1/4-20 studs.
12.2 Output Voltage. The output voltage for an INV2500-HS is 115VAC at full load, 120VAC
at no load; for an INV2500H-HS it is 230VAC at full load, 240VAC at no load. See Figure
5(a). Frequency is 50 or 60Hz, ±0.1%. The output voltage has total harmonic distortion
of less than 2.0%. The load current crest factor is 2.8 to 1, and surge capability is up to
300%. The output will drive reactive loads with up to ±90o phase angle. The output connectors are screw terminals on the back of the INVR2U-HS shelf.
12.3 Output Power. Maximum output power for an INV2500-HS module is 115VAC at 22A
RMS or 230VAC at 11A RMS, giving a maximum of 2530 volt-amperes. For two modules in a shelf it is 115VAC at 44A or 230VAC at 22A, giving a maximum of 5060 voltamperes. Exceeding these values may cause electronic shutdown of the output. Full
output power is produced at up to 50oC ambient temperature. Above this, output current
must be derated at 2.5%/oC. Maximum operating temperature is 70oC, at which the output current must be derated by 50%.

12.4 Overload Characteristic. These inverters incorporate electronic shutdown circuitry;
shutdown takes place during an overload, before the output circuit breaker trips. Figure
5 shows INV2500-HS output voltage and current waveforms for a full load step, sudden
overload, and short circuit. Figure 6 shows shutdown time versus output current for both
the INV2500-HS and INV2500H-HS. Below is a table that shows the same data in a different format:

114-173% 10 sec.
172-223% 1 sec.
223 - 318% 0.25 sec.
SHUTDOWN
TIME
As the table shows, the INV2500-HS is capable of handling large output surge currents,
specifically more than three times rated output current for 1/4 second, more than twice
rated output current for 1 second and more than 1.5 times rated output current for 10
seconds. If the surge exceeds approximately 318% of rated output current or exceeds
the shutdown times shown in the table, the output will be shut down and must be reset by turning both input and output circuit breakers off. After this, the input breaker(s)
should be turned back on (up position); after the Output OK LED(s) come on the output
breaker(s) should be turned back on (up position).
12.5 Grounding. It should be noted that in the standard INV2500-HS models, both AC
ground and AC neutral are connected to case ground. For INV2500-HS Option E versions and INV2500H-HS models, AC neutral is floating and must be externally connected to system ground. In both versions the DC input terminals are both floating.
12.6 Status Indicators. Three green LEDs indicate the operating status of each INV2500-
HS inverter module. They are (from top to bottom): Input OK, Sync OK and Output OK.
12.7 Form C Relay Contacts. These contacts at the rear of the shelf have normally open
(N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) positions for normal operation of each inverter module. See Figure 3 for connections. Note that there is a separate set of contacts for each
module (A and B sides) of the inverter system. If it is desired to monitor the inverter
system as a whole, the two sets of contacts may be connected as shown in Figure 7 to
give an OR function for either set of contacts.
12.8 Sync Connections. There are +Sync and -Sync terminals on the terminal block. When
two or more inverters are connected in parallel these Sync terminals must be connected
together, observing the polarities.
12.9 Inverter Module Connections. If the INV2500-HS inverter module is operated or tested
separately from the shelf, connections should be made to the J1 connector with a mating connector and the pin connections given in Figure 8.

13.0 PARALLEL OPERATION
13.1 The INV2500-HS and INV2500H-HS Series inverter modules are designed to operate in
parallel for higher output current. The modules are automatically connected in parallel in
the shelf. Two or more inverter shelves may also be connected in parallel for additional
output power or for N+1 redundant operation. This is done by connecting all inputs in
parallel and all outputs in parallel (line, neutral, line), although the DC inputs could come
from two separate sources. In addition, the sync terminals must be connected together,
+Sync to + Sync and -Sync to -Sync. The Sync terminals are used only for parallel connection of two or more inverters. Current sharing between paralleled inverters is ±10%.
13.2 Alternatively, separate sources may be used for the inputs to these inverters while the
outputs are connected in parallel. In either case, output loads should have individual
distribution circuit breakers. The following table shows output current and total volt-amperes for inverter modules connected in parallel.

13.3 Four INV2500-HS inverter modules in two INVR2U-HS shelves connected in parallel
could be used to produce 10 kilovolt-amperes or could also be used as a 3+1 redundant
inverter providing 7.5 kilovolt-amperes to a load.
13.4 Figure 9 shows four INV2500-HS inverter modules in two INVR2U-HS shelves con-
nected in parallel to give 10KVA of AC output at 115VAC. The AC output is distributed
by a DPAC1UT AC Distribution Panel made by UNIPOWER Telecom. Note that only
115VAC inverter modules can be used with the DPAC1UT distribution panel, and
not the 230VAC. Note also that only the “T” (Terminal Strip) Option of the DPAC1U can
be used with these inverters and that, as shown in Figure 9, the A side AC input terminals must be strapped in parallel, i.e., A1G to A2G, A1N to A2N and A1L to A2L; in the
same way, the B side AC input terminals must also be strapped in parallel.

14.0 INSTALLATION AND TESTING
14.1 The inverter modules should be initially tested in their shelves. For 23-inch rack
mounting, use panel extenders.
14.2 Put all input and output circuit breakers in the off (down) position. See Figure 3. Remove
the rear plastic safety cover.
14.3 Connect the input battery to the -48VDC and 48VDC Return input bus bars by means
of the 1/4-20 studs. Connect the input ground (10-32 stud) to the system ground. Make
sure the correct polarity is used and make sure the connections are clean and firm.
Reversed input polarity could cause damage to the inverter.
14.4 Connect an AC load to the proper output screw terminals. See Figure 10 for the output
screw terminal connections. Connect the load of approximately 10 amperes for 115VAC
output or 5 amperes for 230VAC output across the output of the inverter shelf.
INV2500-HS SERIES
MANUAL
WARNING: When using “floating neutral”, Option E of the INV2500-HS module
and standard with the INV2500H-HS module, the AC neutral output terminal “N” is
floating with respect to chassis ground. A neutral-to-ground connection must be
re-established external to the inverter and be in compliance with the requirements
of the end-use application.
14.5 Insert an inverter module into the A side (left) of the shelf. To power up the inverter, turn
the DC input circuit breaker on by moving the toggle to the up position. The fans and
input OK and Sync OK LEDs should come on followed by the Output OK LED approximately four seconds later. After the Output OK LED is on, turn on AC output breaker by
placing the toggle in the up position. Check the AC voltage across the load with a digital
AC voltmeter. The voltage should be approximately 115VAC or 230VAC, depending on
the model.
14.6 Check the Form C Relay contacts with an ohmmeter. See Figure 3. Measure the resis-
tance between the N.O. contacts and C contacts. They should indicate an open. Measure the resistance between the N.C. contacts and the C contacts. They should indicate
a short.
14.7 Turn off the AC output circuit breakers first, followed by the DC input breakers, by plac-
ing the toggles in the down position. Remove the module from the shelf. Test each
inverter in the manner described above.
16
15.0 INVERTER APPLICATION
15.1 In the actual application of the inverter system, follow the procedure in sections 14.2
through 14.6, except the system should be connected to its actual load. The loads
connected to the output of the inverter should always have their own individual circuit
breakers. Make connections to the Form C relay contacts as required. Then re-install
the rear plastic safety cover. Also install the front retention panel when all inverters are
in the shelf.
15.2 For two or more inverter shelves in parallel, make the input and output connections to
the inverters as described in Section 13.0. See Figure 11. Put all external distribution
circuit breakers in the off position. Connect the sync terminals together observing proper
polarity.
15.3 Take one of the inverter modules and turn the DC input circuit breaker on; then after the
Output OK LED has come on, turn the AC output circuit breaker on. Repeat this for each
paralleled inverter in turn until all inverters are on. Make sure that the three green LEDs
are on for each inverter.

15.4 With all inverters on, turn on each external AC distribution circuit breaker. The inverters
will automatically share output currents to an accuracy of ± 10%.
16.0 REPLACING AN INVERTER MODULE
16.1 The following instructions are for replacing an INV2500-HS inverter module in an
INVR2U-HS shelf.
16.2 When the INV2500-HS inverters are operated in N+1 redundant mode, only the inverter
module being replaced needs to be turned off as described in the following paragraphs.
In this case it is true hot-swap replacement. If the shelf is operated with two modules at
its full 5,000 volt-ampere load, then both modules should be shut down in the manner
described in paragraph 16.4. When starting up after replacement, both inverter modules must be turned on as described in paragraph 16.5.
16.3 Perform the following steps on the inverter module to be removed:
16.3.1 Turn off the AC output breaker (down position).
16.3.2 Turn off the DC input breaker (down position).
16.3.3 Remove the front retention panel by removing the four Phillips screws.
16.3.4 Remove the inverter module from its shelf.

16.4 To put a new inverter module in place, perform the following steps:
16.4.1 Make sure the input and output breakers of the new inverter module are in
the off (down) position.
16.4.2 Install the replacement inverter module in the shelf.
16.4.3 Replace the front retention panel by replacing the four Phillips screws.
16.4.4 Turn on the DC input breaker (up position).
16.4.5 After the Output OK LED comes on, turn on the AC output breaker
(up position).
16.4.6 All green LEDs on the inverter modules should now be on, indicating normal
operation.
17.0 MAINTENANCE
INV2500-HS SERIES
MANUAL
No routine maintenance is required on the INV2500-HS Series inverters except for a periodic cleaning of dust and dirt around the front fans and rear ventilation holes. A small vacuum
nozzle should be used for this.
