Installation and User Manual

1.2Major Components

The following is a description of the cabinets and major components. Refer to Figures 1-5 to 1-8.

UPS Cabinet

Converts the input AC power to direct current and charges the battery. DC power

 

is converted back to clean AC power by the inverter for the critical load. Section

 

3 describes the operation in detail.

Auxiliary Cabinet

Performs the voltage conversion for the input AC and/or bypass AC using step-

 

up and/or step-down transformers.

Battery Cabinet

The battery cabinet stores energy for use by the Inverter. The stored energy is

 

utilized in the event that the AC input power from the utility source fails, or falls

 

outside of acceptable tolerances. The internal Battery Charger maintains the

 

charge of the battery system. The DC output voltage of the charger is tempera-

 

ture regulated to ensure an optimal charge voltage. If a customer supplied battery

 

system is to be used, an external battery charger may be necessary.

 

The standard battery system is housed in a separate enclosure. For systems where

 

additional back-up time is required, up to two (2) additional battery cabinets are

 

available.

 

A standard battery cabinet is available in an adjacent configuration or a stand-

 

alone configuration. Adjacent battery cabinets are attached to the right side of the

 

UPS using c-brackets provided with the cabinet. Stand-alone battery cabinets

 

are remote from the UPS. Refer to the battery cabinet installation drawing for

 

more details. An external battery system can also be supplied by the customer.

Rectifier

Converts the AC input voltage from the utility source into a DC voltage, supplying

 

the Inverter.

Inverter

Converts the DC voltage supplied from either the Rectifier or the battery system into

 

a three-phase AC voltage. An AC output filter is used to achieve a computer-grade

 

sinewave output voltage waveform, with a total harmonic distortion of less than 2%

 

under linear-load conditions.

Static Switch

Transfers the load between the Inverter output and the bypass AC source without

 

interrupting the supply of power to the load, allowing the load to continue

 

operation in the event of a UPS fault. The Static Switch circuit assures that

 

voltage from the UPS output cannot be fed back to the utility input lines.

Battery System

Stores energy for use by the Inverter. The stored energy is utilized in the event

 

that the AC input power from the utility source fails, or falls outside of acceptable

 

tolerances. The internal Battery Charger maintains the charge of the battery

 

system. The DC output voltage of the charger is temperature regulated to ensure

 

an optimal charge voltage. If a customer supplied battery system is to be used,

 

an external battery charger may be necessary.
