Chapter 1 Introduction
The Powerware®9155 is a double-conversion, split-phase, online
uninterruptible power system (UPS) for protecting computer systems and
other intelligent devices. It is ideal for protecting essential information
technology and electrical engineering infrastructure in corporate,
telecom, health care, banking, and industrial applications.
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 9155, you can safely eliminate the effects of
electrical line disturbances and guard the integrity of your systems and
equipment. Figure 1 shows the Powerware 9155 UPS and an optional
Extended Battery Module (EBM).

Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the Powerware 9155’s
unique benefits including the following:
쑺OnlineUPSdesignwithpuresinewaveoutput.TheUPSfiltersand
regulates incoming AC power and provides consistent power to your
equipment without draining the battery.
쑺More wattage in less space with a 0.9 power factor – protecting more
equipment and leaving more room for expansion.
쑺Support for Powerware Hot Synctparalleling of multiple modules for
redundancy or extra capacity.
쑺Input current total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than five
percent, using active input power factor correction.
쑺ABM®technology that uses advanced battery management to increase
battery service life, optimize recharge time, and provide a warning
before the end of useful battery life.
쑺Up to four hours of extended runtime with added EBMs.
쑺Advanced power management with the Powerware Software Suite CD
for graceful shutdowns and power monitoring.
쑺Emergency shutdown control through the Remote Emergency
Power-off (REPO) port.
쑺Start-on-battery capability for powering up the UPS even if utility
power is not available.
쑺Standard communication options with a DB-9 serial port, relay output
contacts, and programmable signal inputs.
쑺Optional X-Slottcards enhance communication capabilities for
increased power protection and control.
쑺Backed by worldwide agency approvals.

Powerware®9155 UPS (8–15 kVA) User’s Guide S164201553 Rev D www.powerware.com
The following options for the Powerware 9155 are available:
쑺Maintenance Bypass Module (MBM)
The optional MBM is installed on the UPS rear panel and is used to
bypass the UPS during maintenance or servicing. The Maintenance
Bypass switch on the MBM provides a Make-Before-Break (MBB)
wrap-around bypass for UPS service without shutting down the load.
쑺Power Distribution Module (PDM)
The optional PDM provides the same functionality as the MBM and
also comes equipped with several different types of output
receptacles.
쑺Wall-Mounted Bypass Switch
The optional wall-mounted bypass switch is used to bypass the UPS
during maintenance or servicing, providing wrap-around bypass for
UPS service without shutting down the load.
쑺Parallel Tie Cabinet
A parallel system with up to three UPSs can be installed to provide a
parallel capacity and/or redundant system. This load sharing system
provides more capacity than a single UPS and can provide backup,
depending on the load and configuration. In addition, when one UPS
is taken out of service for maintenance or is not operating properly, a
redundant UPS continues to supply uninterrupted power to the critical
load. A parallel Powerware Hot Sync Computer Area Network (CAN)
Bridge Card provides connectivity for system metering and operational
mode control. The parallel system consists of two to three UPSs, each
with a parallel CAN Bridge Card, and a parallel tie cabinet. Refer to
the Powerware 9155 Parallel UPS (8–15 kVA) User’s Guide for more
information.
쑺Input Isolation Transformer
The optional input isolation transformer is located at the bottom of a
3-high UPS model. The input isolation transformer provides a neutral
from a 208V or 240V input source with 240V output and can be wired
to the UPS or to an MBM/PDM.
쑺Seismic Kit
The seismic kit secures the UPS and optional EBMs for Zone 4 seismic
installations.
