TLE UPS Systems - Overview
Introduction
The TLE Series UPS is a robust, high performance 480/277VAC UPS
System suitable for a broad range of mission-critical applications
including data centers, data closets, healthcare/medical,
telecommunications, transportation, commercial buildings, and
industrial critical processes.
Design and Performance
The TLE Series UPS uses double conversion technology via a true on-line
VFI (voltage frequency independent) design. The IGBT Rectier provides
low input current harmonic distortion and a high input power factor to
minimize input feeder sizing. The IGBT Inverter with transformerless
output ensures low output voltage distortion and fast transient response
to high crest factor loads or step loads.
Multi-Mode Eciency
The TLE Series UPS can operate up to 98.9% eciency when
utilized in EcoMode operation. EcoMode continuously monitors the
output voltage and frequency, and will instantaneously switch to
double conversion mode and inverter usage during voltage and/or
frequency disturbances to insure compliance with the ITI (CBEMA)
curves for operation on sensitive IT server or other critical loads.
Redundant Parallel Architecture (“RPA”)
Redundant Parallel Architecture can be used on TLE Series UPS for up
to six (6) modules, for redundancy or capacity means. The RPA system
design eliminates single points of failure by using redundant controls and
an integrated bypass static switch in each UPS module. The RPA system
allows for exibility in output paralleling cabinet design and usage,
including load growth scaleability/expansion capabilities.
Site Services & Remote Monitoring
GE Critical Power Services oers a wide array of site services,
including product startup, preventative maintenance and emergency
maintenance. GE’s iUPSguard software allows for remote monitoring
of key subsystems within the UPS module and battery, allowing for
proactive dispatching and problem resolution when emergency repairs
are required.

design, allows for use in most
commercial and industrial buildings
• Reliable paralleling of UPS modules via
GE’s RPA design, which eliminates any
and all common mode failure points
• Wide band of acceptable AC input
voltage and frequency, that eliminates
nuisance transfers to the battery
plant, thus maximizing battery jar life
• Internal battery management &
monitoring system (SBM) that
enhances battery life and reduces
cost of operation. Also eliminates
need for costly 3rd party bolt-on
battery monitoring systems
• Optional maintenance bypass
capabilities, via external
wrap-around cabinetry
• Optional 208VAC output, via matching
stepdown transformer cabinetry
• Optional output distribution
cabinet with panelboard or
subfeed circuit breakers
• Seismic area capabilities, via
seismic restraint hardware
and seismic lab testing
• Two Year Parts and Labor Warranty
TLE Series Ease of Installation & Improved Serviceability
Front Access
TLE Series is designed to have front access for all the critical components that reduces mean time to repair (MTTR).
Scalability & Slide Out Construction
The TLE Series UPS scales vertically to up to 150kW, and all sub-assemblies are designed to easily slide out
for fast maintenance and service. Now you can replace fans, caps, etc. as needed without having to replace
the entire power block.
Improved Diagnostic
TLE Series new diagnostic features allows to store dierent wave forms and also provides fan failure detection as
well as warning on capacitor life that improves UPS availability and enhances preventive maintenance capabilities.
Standard Safety and Maintenance Feature
To provide enhanced safety and protection the TLE Series UPS has standard built in back-feed protection.

Input Performance
Clean Input Performance
The TLE Series IGBT based rectier and innovative control
algorithm ensures an input Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi)
of less than 3% and draws a pure sinusoidal waveform from
the mains. This also provides UPS input power factor of 0.99.
Advantages
• Saving in the sizing of upfront equipment e.g. emergency
generators, cablings, and circuit breakers
• No disturbances to nearby equipment; eliminate perturbation
and outage on upfront electrical equipment, avoiding also any
investigation and analysis cost due to malfunction
Programmable Soft Start
The programmable soft start allows the rectierto ramp up in a
programmable time period thus eliminating in-rush current.
This feature reduces the need of oversizing the input power
system (gensets, feeder cables, and overcurrent devices).
Generator Compatibility
User-programmable features such as slew rate, phase angle
rate-of-change and voltage rate-of-change allow the UPS
to quickly sync to a genset during emergency back-up.
Output Performance
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
A distorted output voltage waveform aects the proper
function of the load’s equipment. The TLE Series has
very low output voltage THD, even with connected
100% unbalanced or 100% non-linear loads.
Unity Output Power Factor
• TLE Series with unity output power factor provides more
real power. kVA equals KW – no derating with any load,
see Power Capability diagram below.
• Suitable for modern power supply application with unit or
capacitive power factor (e.g. new servers generation), crest
factor up to 3:1.
Transient Response
Transient response is very fast due to control algorithms
which ensure very high dynamic stiness. This reduces the
need to oversize the UPS for pulse load applications.
Unity output power factor, full power for critical load
without derating for actual and future IT loads.

Redundant Parallel Architecture (RPA) System Congurations
GE provides RPA, a unique technology that can parallel UPS modules with true redundancy by eliminating any single point
of failure. RPA provides a scalable paralleling technique that reduces operating footprint and increases system reliability
by eliminating the need for external paralleling equipment and cabinets (centralized bypass and master control).
One of the UPS modules in the system intelligently takes the leadership role, while the other UPS modules have
access to all control parameters. If one UPS fails to operate, the load is automatically redistributed among the
others. If the lead UPS fails to operate, then another UPS automatically takes on the leadership role. GE’s RPA
technology is implemented by distributing the control electronics within each UPS module in the system.
RPA System Advantages
No Single Points of Failure
The RPA system provides complete redundancy of
all critical components, allows paralleling of up to 6
units for increased load capacity or redundancy.
Scalable
The system can be easily expanded for higher capacity
and redundancy without any interruption to the critical
load or transfer to bypass.
Distributed Control Logic
Each module in an RPA system has its own operational
controller. Each one continuously communicates with all
others in order to manage the entire system like a team.
Redundant Communication
Redundant high speed bus and control electronics
provide higher system reliability.
Online Maintenance
N+1 congurations allow maintenance on any single
module in the system while other modules provide
online protection with battery backup.
Sequential Soft Start
Provides sequential soft start of each module to reduce
instantaneous load on input feeders during mains recovery.
This helps avoid over-rating of generator and overheating
of cable and fuses.
Smaller Footprint
RPA eliminates the centralized control and external static
bypass cabinet.
RPA Conguration
Congurable up to 6 units
in parallel
• Future expansion
• Safe and reliable power supply
• Redundant Communication Bus
• Easy to install and maintain
• Easy system upgrade/downgrade
