2.1 Reliability and Quality Standards
Congratulations on your purchase of the PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS.
By using a unique modular construction and incorporating the latest technological developments in power
engineering, the PowerWAVE 9000 DPA represents a completely new generation of transformer-less 3
phase UPS-System. High reliability, upgrade ability, low operating cost and excellent electrical performance
are just some of the highlights of this innovative UPS solution.
Kohler Uninterruptible Power specialises in the design, building, installation and maintenance of
Uninterruptible Power Systems. This compact and powerful UPS is just one example of our wide range of
state of the art power protection devices and will provide your critical equipment with a steady and reliable
power supply for many years.
The criteria and methods which are used in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of Uninterruptible
Power Supply systems are certified to International Standard ISO 9001/EN 29001. A full UPS Specification is
given in Chapter 8 of this manual.
2.2 PowerWAVE 9000 DPA System
PowerWAVE 9000 DPA is a truly modular system based on a range of 10kVA to 45kVA UPS power modules
that can be connected in parallel to form a redundant-module system. The UPS modules are housed in free-
standing cabinets which are purpose designed to contain up to one, three or five modules. Two cabinet
ranges are available as standard – the ‘MD’ cabinet range is designed for use with 10kVA-25kVA modules
(see Figure 2.2), whereas ‘MX’ cabinets are used with modules from 30kVA to 45kVA (see Figure 2.3).
Cabinets designed for three (or fewer) modules also contain the UPS batteries; however an additional,
external battery cabinet can be used to extended the battery autonomy time if required. An external battery
cabinet is always required for cabinets designed for 5 UPS modules. A range of battery cabinets of matching
style and colour is available to sit alongside the UPS cabinets to provide a matching suite.
2.3 System Configuration
The PowerWAVE 9000 DPA system configurations are described below.
2.3.1 Single/Parallel module configurations
Within the UPS cabinet, the power modules can be configured in one of two ways:
Single-module system
As its name suggests, a ‘single-module’ system comprises a cabinet fitted with just one UPS module, even if
the cabinet is designed to house several modules – for example a TRIPLE DPA-75 or -150, UPGRADE DPA-
125 or -250 fitted with a single module is still considered as a ‘single’ module system.
Parallel-module system
A ‘parallel-module’ system employs several modules (of the same rating) operating in parallel within the
same cabinet (e.g. TRIPLE DPA-75) using the DPA technology (see paragraph 2.4.4).
Key Point: All the modules fitted within a cabinet must be of the same rating – i.e. it is not possible
to mix 10kVA and 20kVA modules in the same parallel system.

2-2 UPS306-01-00 PowerWAVE 9000 DPA User Manual Dated 01-06-2010
2.3.2 Single/Multi cabinet configurations
Single cabinet system
A single-cabinet system comprises a stand-alone cabinet containing one or more UPS power module(s)
operating as a single-module or module-module system (as defined in paragraph 2.3.1).
Multi-cabinet system
To further increase the overall system capacity it is possible to connect up to 10 standard cabinets in parallel.
Depending on the model type, each cabinet can contain up to 5 UPS power modules, thereby potentially
resulting in a system comprising up to 50 parallel modules if 10x UPGRADE DPA-125 or 10x UPGRADE
DPA-250 cabinets are employed. Although, in practice, a typical multi-cabinet system will be made up of
fewer than 10 cabinets.
Every standard PowerWAVE 9000 DPA cabinet is provided with the parallel option, eliminating any need for
time-consuming or expensive upgrading on site.
Figure 2.1 PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS Multi-Cabinet Chain.
The multi-cabinet configuration is based on a Decentralised Bypass Architecture (DPA) – i.e. every UPS is
provided with its own static bypass. In a parallel system there is always one master module and the other
modules are slaves. If at any time the master goes faulty the next UPS (former slave) will immediately take
over the master function and the former master will switch off.
2.3.3 ‘Redundant-module’ versus ‘Capacity’ system
The difference between a ‘redundant-module’ system and a ‘capacity’ system is that a ‘capacity’ system is
rated such that ALL the UPS power modules are required to provide the necessary output load power. This is
not the case for a ‘redundant-module’ system, whereby the overall system is designed with one (or more)
modules over and above that required to supply the full load. In a redundant-module system it is therefore
possible to lose one (or more) UPS module without affecting the load supply.
Every UPS power module in a parallel configuration is provided with an output parallel Isolator (IA2) which,
when opened, isolates the corresponding module from the parallel system and the module no longer
contributes to the system’s power output. In a ‘capacity’ system opening this isolator this will cause the load
to transfer to the (unprotected) bypass supply. but in a ‘redundant-module’ system the load will continue to
receive protected power until the number of off-line modules exceeds the inbuilt system redundancy.

2.4 Advanced Design Features
2.4.1 Hot-swappable modules
In a redundant module system (see paragraph 2.4.4) the unique Hot-Swappable feature enables a UPS
module to be inserted or removed from the larger cabinet assembly whilst it is still powered (hot) without
affecting the supply to the load, and without having to transfer to bypass.
Note: In a non-redundant configuration the load will unavoidable have to be transferred to bypass while a
module is removed from the system.
2.4.2 Advanced booster technology
The UPS module’s inbuilt advanced booster technology results in a perfect sinusoidal input power quality at
0.99 input power factor with a harmonic content of less than 3% THD(i). This leads to a more reliable total
system operation and savings in generator and transformer sizing as winding losses are minimised. It also
means that traditional harmonic filters are no longer required.

2: Description
The high power factor presented by the UPS on the incoming mains supply minimises cabling and fusing
costs due to the resulting lack of reactive power consumption. This, together with the accompanying low
harmonic currents, provide the following benefits:
• No additional losses in wires and cables.
• No extra heating of transformers and generators.
• No over sizing of generators.
• 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.
2.4.3 Flexible battery management (FBM)
This equipment employs a flexible battery management which avoids premature deterioration of battery life
by advanced management of battery charging and preventive failure diagnostics.
The major benefits are:
• AC-ripple free battery charging due to a dc-dc charger separated from the rectifier and inverter.
• Wide range of number of battery blocks (30-50 blocks of 12V; depending autonomy times).
• UPS's wide input voltage operating window extends the battery life due to fewer discharge cycles.
• Battery discharge protection caused by load jumps.
• Proactive battery protection from false manipulations and inadequate charging voltages.
• Proactive battery failure detection thanks to Advanced Battery Diagnosis (ABD) - Algorithm.
• User selectable battery tests.
• Optional temperature compensated charging to enhance battery life.
2.4.4 Decentralized Parallel Architecture (DPA)
In a ‘redundant’ parallel UPS system the UPS modules are linked together in parallel so that in the event that
one module fails the others can automatically sustain the load supply.
A ‘parallel redundancy’ configuration is achieved by having a random or fixed master-slave relationship
among the UPS modules whereby the master logic gives out individual commands to all the slave units.
Unfortunately, in some designs this can lead to a single-point-of-failure for the entire system if the master
logic or communication to the slaves fails.
The PowerWAVE 9000 DPA system features DPA paralleling technology that provides n+x redundancy
without introducing a single-point-of-failure. The modules utilizing the DPA technology are completely
autonomous by means of individual power units, bypasses, CPUs, control panels and separate battery
configuration.
DPA technology uses multi-master logic with separated independent regulation and logic buses to maintain
the highest system availability.
This unique decentralized design:
• enables a parallel redundant system providing 100% conditioned power at all times.
• eliminates the system-level single point of failure inherent in traditional parallel UPS
• exponentially increases the reliability of the overall system.
• allows up to ten UPS cabinets to supply the same load in parallel and redundant configuration.

3.1 Introduction
This chapter contains all the information necessary for the correct unpacking, positioning, cabling and
installation of the PowerWAVE 9000 DPA.
3.2 Receipt of the UPS
The UPS and accessories are delivered on a specifically designed pallet that is easy to move with a forklift or
a pallet jack.
The packing container protects the UPS from mechanical and environmental damage. This protection is
further increased by wrapping the PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS with a plastic sheet.
Upon receiving the UPS, carefully examine the packing container and the UPS for any sign of physical
damage. The outside 'Tip&Tel' (“FRAGILE” and “ARROW”) indicator should be intact if the equipment has
been transported in an upright position. In case of rupture (or if they are suspect) inform the carrier and
Kohler Uninterruptible Power immediately.
Ensure that the received UPS corresponds to the description indicated in the delivery note.
3.2.1 Site transportation
If you transport the UPS equipment after it has been off-loaded (for example, for storage or moving to a
different installation location) please observe the following precautions.
WARNING: All the operations described in this section must be performed by authorised
electricians or suitably qualified personnel.
Kohler Uninterruptible Power will take no responsibility for any personal or material damage
caused by incorrect cabling or operations, or activities which are not carried out in strict
accordance with the instructions contained in this manual.
CAUTION: When off loading the UPS always keep it in an upright position.
Do not drop the equipment.
Do not stack the pallets due to the high-energy batteries involved and the heavy weight.
CAUTION: Visible transport damages must be claimed to the carrier immediately after receipt!
Other claims for shipping damage must also be filed immediately and the carrier must be
informed within 7 days of receipt of the equipment.
Packing materials should be stored for further investigation.
CAUTION: Transportation:
To avoid the UPS cabinets and/or battery cabinet falling over, use the shipping brackets on the
rear and front to secure the cabinets.
– Do not tilt the cabinets more than 10° from vertical.
CAUTION: Potential dangers:
– If the cabinet has been tilted it might damage the equipment and it should not therefore be
connected to the mains electricity supply.
– The weight of the UPS system could cause serious injuries to persons or anything in the
surrounding area.

3.3 Unpacking
If the packages are received in good order (i.e. the ‘tip & tell’ “FRAGILE” and “ARROW” indications on the
packing container are intact) then perform the following steps to unpack the UPS:
1. If the cabinet is shipped inside a wooden case, remove the screws at the base and sides of the case then
carefully remove the case from the equipment.
2. Cut the wrappers and remove the packing container by pulling it upwards.
3. Remove the plastic sheeting covering the UPS.
4. Remove the UPS from the pallet.
5. Retain the packaging materials for future shipment of the UPS.
6. Examine the UPS for any sign of damage.
Notify your supplier immediately if damage is apparent.
7. Open the cabinet door and ensure that all the UPS modules are correctly and securely fitted in their
compartments. Ensure that a protection cover is fitted to the front of any empty UPS compartments.
3.3.1 Nameplate
The technical specifications of the PowerWAVE 9000 DPA are provided on the nameplate which is situated
at the front (internal door) of the UPS.
Check that the details on the nameplate corresponds to the purchased material detailed on the delivery note.
3.4 Batteries
The standard batteries connected to the UPS are sealed, maintenance-free batteries which will be mounted
either within the UPS cabinet or an external battery cabinet. The battery will usually be connected when the
UPS is commissioned.
Battery life depends very much on the ambient temperature, and optimum battery life will be obtained if the
batteries are operated at a temperature of 20°C.
If the UPS is delivered without batteries, Kohler Uninterruptible Power is not responsible for any damage or
malfunctioning caused to the UPS by the incorrect storage, installation or connection of batteries by third
parties.
CAUTION: Storage:
– The UPS should be stored in the original packing and shipping carton.
– The recommended storing temperature for the UPS system and batteries is between +5 °C
and +40°C.
– The UPS system and the battery sets must be protected from humidity
< 90% RF (non-condensing).
WARNING: The UPS system, the battery cabinet (option) and the batteries are heavy and
may tip during transportation causing serious injury if the unpacking instructions are not
followed closely.
