Chapter 7 “1+N” System
This chapter introduces the installation procedures, operating instructions of the “1+N” system, and the installation of the dual bus system, of the HIPULSE U UPS.
7.1 General
The system can comprise of up to 6 UPS modules of the same power rating and connected in parallel without the need for a centralized mains static bypass. Instead the bypass static switches of each UPS share the load when the system transfers to the mains bypass supply.
From a ‘power’ viewpoint, each module is internally identical to the ‘single module’ configuration. A “1+N” system requires
When three or more modules are to be connected in parallel it is recommended that inductance should be inserted in the static bypass line. This can be installed internal to the UPS as an option.
7.2 “1+N” System Installation Procedures
The basic installation procedure of a parallel system comprising two or more UPS modules is the same as that of single module system. This section only introduces the installation procedures specific to the parallel system. The installation of a parallel UPS must follow the installation procedure for a single UPS module with the additional requirements detailed in this section.
7.2.1 Preliminary Checks
Be sure that a parallel kit is present and fitted in each of the modules, and that the modules are of the same rating and with the same software and hardware release.
Warning
To achieve coordinated operation of the modules in the parallel system, it is required to configure each module separately using background configuration software. This must be done by Emerson service & support trained personnel.
