Transfer and Retransfer Conditions
1.Automatic Transfers to Bypass
Critical bus conditions that will initiate an automatic transfer of the critical load from the UPS system to the bypass source are:
a.System Overload: overcurrent condition in excess of the overload rating of the System Control Cabinet (SCC).
b.Output Overload: overcurrent condition in excess of the
c.Over/Under Voltage (OV/UV): critical bus voltage is outside the allowable tolerance.
d.
1.Battery discharged to the shutdown voltage.
2.Inverter overload capacity exceeded.
3.Inverter or rectifier fault condition (power, logic, or
4.Failure of UPS module logic or logic power.
e.SCC Logic:
1.Emergency Module Off (EMO) circuit activated.
2.Failure of UPS system logic or logic power.
2.Manual Transfers
Manual transfers may be initiated at any time provided no transfer inhibition conditions are present.
3.Transfer Inhibited
A manual transfer to the bypass source shall be inhibited if any of the following conditions exist:
a.Bypass frequency deviates ±0.5 Hz from the nominal.
b.UPS system to bypass voltage difference ( V) exceeds a predetermined percentage (normally 5%).
c.Static switch disconnects (manual switches) open.
d.OK to Transfer signal from the control logic is not present.
NOTE
A load transfer to the bypass line will be completed whenever an automatic transfer to bypass is initiated If the Static Switch Unable alarm message is present for any reason (including a ±20° phase lock synchronization error), the automatic transfer will be interrupted for 40 to 120 milliseconds. Because of the reliability of the UPS components, an interrupted load transfer is a very unlikely occurrence.
4.Automatic Retransfers to UPS
Critical bus conditions that must be present to initiate an automatic retransfer
a.The number of
b.Critical load was initially transferred to the bypass source due to a system overload only.
c.Overload has since dropped below 100% of the rated SCC current.
d.Enough UPS modules are ON LINE to supply the critical load.
e.OK to Transfer signal received from the control logic for at least 10 seconds, within 5 minutes of the overload transfer. (A manually initiated retransfer from bypass is required for overloads lasting 5 minutes or more.)
