Overview
Tri Power X33 HE 30 - 40
The TRI POWER X33 HEs in the 30 –40 series have been designed using state-of-the-art technology, in order to
ensure the best performance for the user. The use of the new control boards based on microprocessor architecture
(DSP + µP inside), together with the adoption of specific circuit solutions that use last-generation components, have
allowed to reach high performances such as:
ZERO IMPACT SOURCE: ensures low input distortion, a power factor close to 1, and maximum generator
set compatibility.
BATTERY CARE SYSTEM: allows a customised management for different battery types and their
continuous monitoring, therefore enhancing battery efficiency and durability.
SMART INVERTER: guarantees an extraordinary efficiency even at a low-load percentage. Moreover, it
ensures a stable low-distortion output tension even in extreme operating conditions.
Thanks to these and other features, and thanks to its ease of use, the 30 –40 series presents itself as a reference
point among three-phase UPSs.

Separate bypass input (optional)
THE OPTIONAL DI VERSION OF THE TRI POWER X33 HE SERIES HAS SEPARATE BYPASS AND INPUT
LINES.
The TRI POWER X33 HE series with Separate Bypass allows a separate connection between the input and the
bypass lines. The TRI POWER X33 HE output is synchronised with the bypass line, in order to avoid incorrect
voltage changeovers during the alternate phases, in case an automatic bypass or a maintenance isolator closure
occurs.

(1) 3,97 B.T.U./h = 1 kcal/h
(2) The following formula can be used to calculate the air flow rate: Q [mc/h] = 3,1 x Pdiss [kcal/h] / (ta - te) [°C]
Pdiss is the power expressed in kcal/h dissipated by all the devices installed in the installation environment.
ta= ambient temperature, te=external temperature. In order to take leaks into account, it is necessary to
increase the value obtained by 10%.
The table shows an example of a flow rate with (ta - te) =5°C and a rated resistive load (pf=0.9).
(Note: This formula is applicable only if ta>te. If not, the TRI POWER X33 HE installation requires an air-
conditioning system).
(3) The dispersion current of the load is added to that of the TRI POWER X33 HE on earth wire.

Electromagnetic compatibility
This TRI POWER X33 HE product conforms to the current electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations (C2
class). It may cause radio interference in the home environment. The user may have to adopt supplementary
measures.
This product is for professional use in industrial and commercial environments. Connections to USB and RS232
connectors must be made with the cables provided, or at least with shielded cables less than 3 metres long.
Installation environment
As for the installation area of the TRI POWER X33 HE, and, if necessary, of the Battery Box, follow carefully the
following instructions:
Avoid dusty environments
Make sure that the floor is level and that it is able to withstand the weight of the TRI POWER X33 HE (and of
the Battery Box)
Avoid environments which are too narrow, as they could impede normal maintenance operations
The relative humidity should not exceed 90% with no condensation
Make sure that the ambient temperature remains between 0 and 40°C while the TRI POWER X33 HE is
operatingThis TRI POWER X33 HE can operate with an ambient temperature between 0 and 40°C. The
recommended working temperature for the TRI POWER X33 HE and the batteries is between 20
and 25°C. In fact, with a working temperature of 20°C, a battery has an average operating life of 5
years, whilst with a working temperature of 30°C the operating life is halved.
Avoid positioning the TRI POWER X33 HE in places exposed to direct sunlight or hot air
To maintain the temperature in the installation area within the above mentioned range, there must be a system to
dispose of the dissipated heat (the kW / kcal/h / B.T.U./h values dissipated by the TRI POWER X33 HE are shown in
the table in the previous page). The methods that can be used are the following:
Natural ventilation
Forced ventilation, recommended when the external temperature is lower (e.g. 20°C) than the temperature at
which the TRI POWER X33 HE or the Battery Box has to be operated (e.g. 25°C)
Air-conditioning system, recommended when the external temperature is higher (e.g. 30°C) than the
temperature at which the TRI POWER X33 HE or the Battery Box has to be operated (e.g. 25°C)

Removing the TRI POWER X33 HE from the pallet
CAUTION! TO AVOID HARMING PEOPLE AND/OR DAMAGING THE EQUIPMENT, FOLLOW
CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
SOME OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS NEED TO BE CARRIED OUT BY TWO PEOPLE.
Cut the straps and remove the
cardboard box by sliding it upwards.
Remove the packaging material.
Remove the accessory box.
NOTE: the accessory box can be either
inside the packaging, or behind the USP
door.
Remove the 2 brackets securing the TRI POWER X33
HE to the pallet by unscrewing the screws marked A
and B in the figure.
The previously removed brackets can also be used as slides. Secure the slides to the pallet by using the
type A screws, making sure they are aligned with the wheels.

Page 13 to 52
Screw the brake rod completely, so to separate it from the pallet
Make sure that the door is firmly closed.
CAUTION! Push the TRI POWER X33 HE from the rear with great care. Given the weight of the
equipment, this operation needs to be carried out by two people.
NOTE: It is recommended to keep all parts of the packaging for further use

Page 14 to 52
Preliminary check of contents
Once the package has been opened, proceed to checking the contents:
metal slides, guarantee document, user manual, cd-rom containing the TRI POWER X33 HE management software,
serial connecting cable, 4 battery fuses (to be inserted in the "SWBATT" fuse holders), door key.
Positioning the Tri Power X33 HE
When positioning the equipment, the following points should be taken into account:
The wheels are intended for accurate positioning, therefore for small movements only.
The plastic parts and the door are not suitable for pushing or gripping the TRI POWER X33 HE.
Sufficient space should be left in front of the equipment, for it to be switched on and off and in order to allow
carrying out maintenance operations on it (≥ 1,5 metres).
The rear part of the TRI POWER X33 HE should be placed at least at 30 cm from the wall, to allow the air
blown by the ventilation fans to outflow correctly.
No objects should be placed on its upper surface.
Once the equipment has been positioned, secure it with the apposite brake rod (see "Front views of the TRI
POWER X33 HE ").
In earthquake-prone zones or in mobile systems it is possible to use the brackets securing the TRI POWER X33 HE
to the pallet to anchor the machine to the ground (see figure below). In normal conditions the brackets are not
necessary.
Operations to access the terminals of the TRI POWER X33 HE
To carry out the following operations, the TRI POWER X33 HE must be disconnected from the
mains power supply, switched off, and with all the equipment switches and fuse holders open.
Follow the instructions provided below to open the TRI POWER X33 HE:
Open the door using, if necessary, the key provided
Remove the terminal cover in correspondence with the switches (see "Front views of the TRI POWER X33
HE" )
Once the installation operations inside the equipment have been completed, replace the terminal cover and close the
door.

Page 15 to 52
Electrical connections
WARNING: a 4-wire three-phase distribution system is required.
The TRI POWER X33 HE must be connected to a power supply line made up of 3 phases + neutral + PE
(protective earth) of TT, TN or IT type. Therefore, the phase rotation must be respected.
Optional TRANSFORMER BOXES to convert the distribution systems from 3 wires to 4 wires are available.

Separate bypass on separate lines:
When the separate bypass option is present, protective devices should be placed on both the main power supply line
and the bypass line.
Note: The neutral of the input line and that of the bypass are commoned inside the equipment, therefore they must
refer to the same potential. In case the two power supplies were different, an isolation transformer would be
necessary on one of the inputs.

Short circuit
If a fault occurs on the load, the TRI POWER X33 HE protects itself by limiting the value and the duration of the
current supplied (short circuit current). These values also depend on the TRI POWER X33 HE operating status at the
time of the fault, which can be either:
TRI POWER X33 HE in NORMAL OPERATION: the load is instantly commutated to the bypass line (TRI
POWER X33 HE 30kVA I2t=20000A2s; TRI POWER X33 HE 40kVA I2t=25000A2s): the input line is
connected to the output with no internal protection (locked after t>0.5s)
TRI POWER X33 HE in BATTERY OPERATION: the TRI POWER X33 HE protects itself by supplying an
output current which is about 1.5 the nominal current for 0.5s, after which it shuts down.
Backfeed
This TRI POWER X33 HE is also equipped with an internal protection against backfeed through metal separation
devices.
An optional output on the relay board is available for activating a release device to be installed Tri Power X33 HE
tream from the TRI POWER X33 HE.
This TRI POWER X33 HE has an internal device (redundant bypass power supply) which, in case a fault
occurs, activates the bypass automatically, thus maintaining the load powered with no internal protection
and with no limit on the power supplied to the load.
Under such emergency conditions, any disturbance on the input line will affect the load.
Please see the paragraph “Redundant auxiliary power supply for automatic bypass”, in the “USE” section.

Differential
In the absence of an input separating transformer, the neutral from the mains power supply is connected to the
neutral of the TRI POWER X33 HE output. This way the neutral regime of the equipment is not modified.
THE INPUT NEUTRAL IS CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT NEUTRAL
THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM THAT POWERS THE TRI POWER X33 HE IS NOT MODIFIED BY THE TRI
POWER X33 HE
WARNING: make sure that the equipment is connected correctly to the input neutral, or else
damages to the TRI POWER X33 HE may be caused.
The neutral regime is modified only in presence of an isolation transformer or when the TRI POWER X33
HE operates with a neutral isolated Tri Power X33 HEtream.
When operating from mains power, a differential switch located at the input can intervene as the output circuit is not
isolated from the input circuit. Anyhow, other differential switches can be inserted at the output, possibly coordinated
with the switches at the input.
The differential switch located Tri Power X33 HEtream must have the following features:
Differential current adjusted to the sum of the TRI POWER X33 HE load. It is strongly recommended to keep
an adequate margin in order to avoid delayed interventions (100mA min. - 300mA recommended)
type B or type A
delay greater than or equal to 0,1s
