9150 UPS configurations vary. Some configurations may or may not be classified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) as a Class A device. If your Powerware 9150 unit is classified by these standards, the
corresponding information applies:
Class A
NOTE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The Powerware
9
9150 is a double-conversion, online uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) for protecting computer systems and other
intelligent devices.
The UPS 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 Powerware 9150, you can safely eliminate the effects of
electrical line disturbances and guard the integrity of your systems and
equipment. Figure 1 shows the Powerware 9150 UPS.

UPS Model and Battery Configurations
There are two important considerations when selecting the UPS model
and battery configuration to properly safeguard your equipment:
:
The UPS output power rating (VA) should be specified according to
the total power demand of the equipment to be protected. Some
margin should be allowed for potential expansion of the protected
system,and for possible inaccuracy in calculating or measuring the
actual power requirement.
:
The battery should be sized according to the desired backup time.
The backup time is longer if the load is less than the nominal power
rating of the UPS.
Load Requirements
Determine the total load requirements, in volt-amperes (VA), of the
equipment to be protected by the UPS. The UPS load should not exceed
the UPS 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).
If the rating is in amperes or amperes max, multiply by the
input voltage to obtain the VA requirement.
3. Add all of the resultant VA ratings together to obtain the total
load requirements of the equipment to be protected (see
Figure 2).

Introduction

Powerware®9150 User’s Guide : www.powerware.com
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.
NOTE Line-to-neutralloads (100V- 127V) should be balanced between L1/A and
L2/B.
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.
Battery Times
The Powerware 9150 UPS has internal batteries with run times up to
17 minutes.If additional run time is required, optional external battery
cabinets (EBCs) canbe purchased.There are two EBC models available:
EBC-48 and EBC-96.The EBC-48 modelcontains 48 batteries and the
EBC-96 model contains 96 batteries. The following table shows
approximate battery times for both internal battery models and the
optional EBC configurations. The times shown in the EBC rows are
cumulative and include the internal battery time.

*EBCs are not available for the 32-battery model. Refer to the serial nameplate; if DC voltage
on the nameplate is 192V, EBCs cannot be used. To use EBCs, DC voltage must be 288V.

Introduction

If a powerfailure outlasts the backup time, the UPS shuts down in order
to prevent a total discharge of the battery. When utility is restored, the
UPS starts automatically, providing power to the critical load and
charging the battery bank.
