User’s Guide
1026743
Revision B
2 Introduction
The product described in this manual is a transformerless Uninterruptible Power System
(UPS). It is a true online, continuous duty, double conversion, solid state, three-phase system,
providing conditioned and uninterruptible AC power to protect the customer’s load from all nine
power failures.
System description
The UPSs are used to protect sensitive IT equipment and prevent loss of valuable electronic
information, minimise equipment downtime, and minimise the adverse effect on production
equipment due to unexpected power problems.
The UPS system continually monitors incoming electrical power and removes the surges,
spikes, sags, and other irregularities that are inherent in commercial utility power. Working with
a building‘s electrical system, the UPS system supplies clean, consistent power that sensitive
electronic equipment requires for reliable operation. During brownouts, blackouts, and other
power interruptions, batteries provide emergency power to safeguard operation.
The UPS system is housed in freestanding cabinets.The cabinets line up and match in style and
colour, and have safety shields behind the doors for hazardous voltage protection.
Figure 1 UPS cabinet 20-30 kVA, 50/60 Hz (1-phase output), with an External Battery Cabinet.
Feature: Active-Front Technology
Traditional input THD filters are no longer needed with this UPS product. The built-in advanced
rectifier technology of UPS modules provides perfect sinusoidal input power quality at 0.99
input power factor with harmonic content less than 5%THD(i).This leads to more reliable total
system operation and savings in generator and transformer sizing as losses in the windings are
minimised.

User’s Guide
1026743
Revision B
Due to the active front rectifier, the UPS is comparable to a clean resistor load from the mains
perspective.Thus, the high input power factor provides minimised cabling and fusing costs due
to no reactive power consumption.
The low harmonic currents are due to high input power factor and provide the benefits:
No additional losses in wires and cables
No extra heating of transformers and generators with shortened service life
No false circuit breaker tripping and malfunction
No erratic operation of computers, telecommunication, monitors, electronic test equipment
etc.
No Resonance with power factor correction capacitors
Feature: Advanced Battery Management (ABM)™
The ABM monitors the status of the battery and charges it only when the battery needs
charging.This is the key to long battery life with the ABM due to low generation of corrosion
inside the battery. It also monitors that the load never crashes because of bad or defected
battery.
The main cause for corrosion is current flowing through battery.The more current going
through battery, the shorter the battery life. Current flows through battery when it is discharged
or charged.There is very little that can be done for discharging, because it depends on number
of power outages in utility line.
The ABM is very valuable feature since most of the time battery does not need any charging.
The charging is controlled and initiated on the following occasions:
- When turning the unit on
- After 18 days without charging
- If the open cell voltage decreases below predetermined voltage level
Hence, the function of ABM system is to prolong the battery life considerably compared to
traditional system that uses float-charging technology.This means that there is no current going
through batteries all the time and causing corrosion. In a traditional online UPS the inverter also
causes ripple-current to be fed to batteries causing corrosion.
Feature: Hot Sync®technology
The UPS product features U.S. #5,745,365 patented paralelling technology that provides N+X
redundancy without introducing a single-point-of-failure.The products utilising the Hot Sync are
completely autonomous and the only thing common among them is the critical output power
bus.
The Hot Sync is 100% mathematical firmware that makes it more reliable than traditional
paralleling techniques. Because the solution is implemented intrinsically, and Hot Sync is
always active, the UPS modules can operate with or without redundant units.

1026743
Revision B
A parallel UPS system means the linking together of two or more UPS units in parallel so that in
the unlikely event one fails the other can automatically take up the load.Traditionally a parallel
redundancy configuration is achieved by having a random or fixed master-slave relationship
among the UPS units.This master logic gives out individual commands to all the slaves units.
Unfortunately this can lead to a single-point-of-failure for the whole system because if the master
logic or communication to slaves fails, and causes the whole UPS system to be in trouble.
The Hot Sync® technology was developed to allow parallel capacity system and to maintain
the highest system availability. An industry leading paralleling technology in its own right,
the patented Hot Sync enables you to set up a parallel redundant system giving you 100%
conditioned power at all times. Its unique digital design eliminates the system level single
point of failure inherent in traditional parallel UPS modules, and exponentially increases the
reliability of the overall system.
Hot Sync allows up to four UPS units to cover the same load in parallel and redundant
configuration. No vulnerable master logic is needed in this patented design. It provides
automatic load sharing and module level redundancy with nothing other than the power
connecting the Hot Sync version of UPS modules.

4. Planning before installation
The equipment must be installed in upright position.The equipment requires space to front and
back to enable cooling airflow. Service and maintenance require 500 mm clearance on right
hand side. All cooling air enters at front and exits at unit rear.The required min. clearance from
unit rear to an obstruction is 250 mm. Because the service and user access is in the front there
should be reserved enough space (min 600 mm).
It is required to arrange ventilation of the UPS room. Sufficient amount of air cooling is needed
to keep the max. room temperature rise at desired level:
Temperature rise of max. +5°C requires the airflow of 600 m3per 1 kW of losses.
Temperature rise of max. +10°C requires the airflow of 300 m3per 1 kW of losses.
An ambient temperature of 15 to 25 Celsius degrees is recommended to achieve a long life of
the UPS and batteries.The cooling air entering the UPS must not exceed +40 °C. Avoid high
ambient temperature, moisture and humidity.
The floor material should be non-flammable and strong enough to support the heavy load.The
UPS has (4) leveling feet that should be used when finalising the installation.The diameter of a
single leveling foot is 29 mm.

The UPS unit has the following power connections:
Three-phase (L1, L2, L3), Neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) connection for the rectifier
input (Note: N is only an open tie point)
Single-phase (L1), Neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) connection for the bypass input (N
is common for rectifier and bypass inputs)
Single-phase (L1), Neutral (N) and protective earth (PE) connection for the load output
Plus (+), minus (-) and protective earth (PE) connection for the external batteries
Note!
The rectifier requires a Neutral to operate. It’s connected internally from the bypass
terminal to the rectifier, see wiring diagram.
Note!
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the input supply neutral reference is not
disconnected whilst the UPS is in service.
Power cables and protective fuses
Always use copper cable types to fit terminals with approx. 1.5 Nm torque for different load
currents. The Cu cable sizing is based on multi-core cables laid in conduits/trunkings on the
wall or on the floor (installation procedure C), ambient temperature 25°C, PVC insulation,
surface temperature up to 70°C. Cables of several UPS can be installed in parallel to each other.
Standards SFS 6000-5-52 (2002) and IEC 60364-5-52 (2001-08) “Electrical installations of
buildings” with normal 1.7 x Neutral conductor rating for IT loads are used as a sizing guide.
For any other conditions, size the cables according to the local safety regulations regarding
installation environment, appropriate voltage and currents of the UPS.
Fuses are sized according to local safety regulations, appropriate input voltage and the rated
current of the UPS.Therefore, protect the input and bypass cables with gG (gL) fuses or B-C-D
type of circuit breakers against overload and short-circuit.
Contact the manufacturer’s authorised agent or the local office for assistance at fuse and cable
sizing. Refer to the recommended cable and fuse ratings in the below table.
