SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
1.0SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Liebert Load Bus Sync™ (LBS) option keeps the output of two independent Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPSs) in sync, even when the two UPSs are operating from two different power sources. Any UPS will typically sync to its own bypass source. As long as both UPSs are tied to the same input and bypass sources, they will automatically stay in sync. However, if the UPSs are operating on batteries, or different backup generators, or asynchronous bypass sources, their outputs will tend to drift out of sync.
Maintaining sync is critically important for installations with dual power distribution systems. These sites typically feature Liebert Precision Power Centers (PPC) with Liebert Static Bus Transfer Switches. Each PPC has dual inputs: it can receive power from either UPS, and switch seamlessly between the two as long as the UPS outputs are held in close synchronization. This provides redundancy down to the PPC level. It also permits one entire half of the distribution system (upstream of the PPC) to be taken offline for maintenance or repairs.
The Load Bus Sync option consists of an LBS interface in each UPS module plus one LBS controller enclosure installed between the UPSs.
