CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your Powerware
9
Prestige Series
uninterruptible power system (UPS). The Prestige UPS meets the
toughest measures of superior design and manufacturing, including
ISO 9001. You now own the most reliable power protection available.
The Prestige provides a steady, well-regulated power supply for your
computing and communications equipment, while protecting it from the
frequent irregularities that are inherent in commercially available power.
Voltage spikes, power surges, brownouts, and power failures have the
potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and in
some instances, damage expensive hardware.
With the Prestige, you can safely eliminate the effects of electrical line
disturbances and guard the integrity of your systems and equipment.
The optional PowerPass
9
Distribution Module (PPDM) has a
Maintenance Bypass feature that supplies power to your equipment even
when the UPS electronics are removed for maintenance orupgrades.
Figure 1 shows the Prestige UPS.

UPS Model and Battery Configurations
This UPS is designed to work with single-phase, three-wire, AC power
sources. There are two important considerations whenselecting the UPS
model and battery configuration to properly safeguard your equipment:
:
Load requirements
:
Battery times
Load Requirements
The load is the equipment to be protected by the UPS.Select the UPS
model that meets the power consumption requirements of the load in
volt-amperes (VA). The total load VA should not exceed the UPS VA
rating. To determine the total load requirements:
1. Obtain the load ratings from either the nameplate or operator’s
manual of the equipment to be protected by the UPS. The
ratings are listed in either watts (W), amperes or amperes
max (A), or volt-amperes.
2. If the rating is in watts, multiply by 1.4 to obtain the VA
requirement (this is the typical relationship between watts and
volt-ampere ratings in most computing equipment). However,
in some new computing equipment, the power supply is
power-factor corrected and the watts rating equals the VA
requirement. Check with the manufacturer to determine
applicability.
If the rating is in amperes or amperes max, multiply by the
input voltage to obtain the VA requirement.
NOTE Forthe load ratingsof AS/400modelsandattachable devices,see Chapter 9of
“AS/400 PhysicalPlanning Reference,” SC41-5109.

Introduction

Powerware®Prestige Series Installation and Operator’s ManualforIBMApplications (650VA- 1500VA)Uncontrolled Copy
3. Add all of the resultant VA ratings together to obtain the total
load requirements of the equipment to be protected (see
Figure 2). If the load consists of the power-factor corrected
supplies, it is recommended to use total watts for the load
requirements.
COMPUTER MONITOR EXTERNAL
MODEM
100 WATTS x 1.4 = 140 VA 2AMPERESx120=240VA 50 VA
140 VA + 240 VA + 50 VA = 430 VA (Total Load Requirements)
100WATTS 2AMPS 50VA
or 1 AMPERE x 240 = 240 VA
Figure 2. Volt-Amperes Calculation Example
If the total load requirements of the equipment exceeds the capacity of
the UPS, you must either reduce the number of pieces of equipment, or
use a UPS with a larger load capacity.
When deciding on which pieces of equipment to remove from the UPS,
select equipment that has a lower priority for power protection.
Computers, monitors, and modems typically have a higher priority
because they could be processing or transmitting data when a power
outage occurs.
Approximate Battery Times
During a power failure, the UPS battery supplies power to your
equipment, providing time to complete computing activities prior to
UPS shutdown. The duration of this time period is directly related to the
UPS battery configuration. By adding battery cabinets (EXT models
only), you can customize the UPS to provide enough battery time for
normal processing activities.

Introduction
4Powerware®Prestige Series Installation and Operator’s ManualforIBMApplications (650VA- 1500VA)Uncontrolled Copy
To prepare for a power outage at your installation, ensure that you have
sufficient battery time available. To do this, take a few minutes to
determine your approximate battery time by completing the following
steps:
Load Battery Time
L
o
a
d
Requirements
(VA) UPS Model BatteryCabinets TotalBattery Time Minutes
(Approximate)
Figure 3. Determining Approximate Battery Time
1. See “Load Requirements” on page 2 for assistance in
determining the total load requirements for your UPS. Round
this number up to the next Load (VA) entry in the “Prestige
Product Models” table on page 5, and enter the number in
Figure 3.
2. If you have installed battery cabinets, skip to Step 3.
If you do not have any battery cabinets, enter your UPS Model
number in Figure 3 (for example, 650, 650 EXT, 1250 EXT,
1500 EXT). Find the appropriate Load (VA) and UPS Model in
the “Prestige Product Models” table on page 5. The
intersection of these two parameters shows the approximate
number of minutes of battery time your UPS Model will have at
full load (enter this number in Figure 3, Total Battery Time
Minutes).
3. In Figure 3, enter the number of battery cabinets that you
have installed. Find the intersection point of the appropriate
Load (VA) and number of battery cabinets in the “Prestige with
Additional Battery Cabinets” table on page 6. Enter this
number in Figure 3, Total Battery Time Minutes.
If changes take place in your installation, such as different load
parameters or changes to battery cabinet configuration, take time to
reevaluate your approximate battery time availability.
NOTE Fordetailedinformationregardingcalculationof9910UPSbatterycapacityand
