Liebert 1000kVA manual Operator Controls

Introduction

1.4.3Recharge

After the utility source power is restored or an alternate power source becomes available, each recti- fier/charger slowly walks-in to once again power the inverters and recharge the battery plant.

1.4.4Overload

Overloads in critical systems may be caused by inrush currents during connected equipment start-up or by faults in the critical load or distribution network. The Liebert Series 610 UPS system can main- tain full output voltage regulation while sustaining the following overloads:

•Up to 150% for 30 seconds

•Up to 125% for 10 minutes

•Up to 104% for an indefinite period of time

For momentary faults above 155% of rated SCC current, the static switch turns on for 40 milliseconds to supply power from the bypass source. Up to 1000% of the rated current can be supplied for less than one cycle, while up to 500% of rated load can be sustained for the full 40 milliseconds of pulsed- parallel operation.

The critical load remains on the UPS modules for the above conditions. If the UPS system overload capacity is exceeded, an automatic transfer to bypass is initiated, which closes the system bypass cir- cuit breaker (SBB) and opens the UPS output circuit breaker.

! CAUTION

Whenever an overload occurs, it is imperative to determine the cause of the overload.

1.4.5Redundant

If the multi-module UPS system includes one more module than the number required to supply the critical load, the UPS system can operate in the redundant mode. This means that the load will remain on the UPS system if one of the modules is disconnected because of an overload, an internal fault or for maintenance. If the additional module is not included in the system design or if the addi- tional module is disconnected from the critical bus, the UPS system operates in the non-redundant mode.

1.4.6Bypass—Internal

The SCC control logic initiates an automatic transfer to the bypass source if the overload-current-ver- sus-time curve is exceeded or if specified UPS system faults occur. You can also manually transfer the load to the bypass (without interruption) if you must take the UPS module out of service for mainte- nance.

The SCC internal bypass will allow most key components and operating modes to be checked without disturbing the critical bus. However, certain key power-carrying components, such as the output and bypass circuit breakers, will require isolation through an external maintenance bypass cabinet or complete system shutdown to maintain 100% critical load operation.

1.4.7Maintenance Bypass

The installation of a Maintenance Bypass Cabinet, Panelboard or Switchboard is recommended to allow you to totally isolate the UPS from all power sources. Use of the Maintenance Bypass is described in 3.0 - Operation.

1.4.8Off-Battery

The battery plant can be disconnected from the rectifier/charger by using an external Module Battery Disconnect (MBD) circuit breaker. The UPS module continues to function normally, though it does not have power outage back-up capability until the battery plant is reconnected.

1.5Operator Controls

The Liebert Series 610 UPS System Control Cabinet (SCC) and each individual module are equipped with a microprocessor-based Operator Display Screen and Control Panel designed for convenient and reliable operation.

The front panel location of the monitoring and control system enables the user to quickly identify the current status of the UPS and to perform most of the manual operations. The operator display screen (a backlit liquid crystal display or LCD) is driven by an easy-to-follow menu-prompted software pro- gram that controls and monitors the UPS system.
