4.3. OPERATING PRINCIPLE.
This manual describes the installation and operation of SLC
TWIN RT2 T UL series UPSs as devices that can be independently
operated or connected in parallel. SLC TWIN RT2 T UL series
UPSs ensure optimum protection of any critical load, maintaining
the supply voltage of the loads between the specified parameters
without interruption during failure, deterioration or fluctuation of
mains power.
Thanks to their PWM (pulse width modulation) and double-
conversion technology, SLC TWIN RT2 T UL series UPSs are
compact, cool, silent and high performance.
The double converter principle eliminates all mains power
disturbances. A rectifier converts the AC current of the mains into
DC current, thereby maintaining optimum battery charge level
and powering the inverter, which, in turn, generates a suitable
AC sine-wave voltage for continuously powering the loads.
In addition, the standard transformer at the output provides
the possibility of galvanic isolation and effective filtering of
disturbances and electrical noise coming from the mains. In the
event of failure of the UPS’s mains power, the batteries supply
clean power to the inverter.
The design and construction of the SLC TWIN RT2 T UL series
UPS has been carried out in accordance with international
standards, and also allows expansion through the connection of
additional modules (3) with the same power in parallel to obtain
N+X redundancy or an increase in the system’s power.
Thus, this series has been designed to maximise the availability
of critical loads and to ensure that your business is protected
from variations in power distribution line voltage, frequency,
electrical noise, cuts and micro-cuts. This is the primary goal of
SLC TWIN RT2 T UL series UPSs.
This manual applies to the standardised models shown in Tab. 1.
4.4. UPS OPERATING MODES.
•Normal mode.
Device running supplying output voltage from the inverter.
Mains power present with correct input voltage and
frequency.
•Battery mode.
Device running with mains voltage or frequency out of
range or without AC input power, either due to mains
failure or absence of cable connection, supplying output
voltage from the batteries.
•Bypass mode.
Device running or not, supplying output voltage directly
from the AC mains.
With the inverter running, this operating mode may be
due to an overload, blockage or inverter fault.
The actions for each incident will be as follows: Reduce
the load connected to the output, unblock the device by
resetting it - stop it and start it up again - and, if the
blockage or fault remains, contact our T.S.S.
With the inverter shut down, the output supplies mains
power directly through the static bypass of the device
provided that it has AC input power.
•Frequency converter (CF) mode.
Operating mode of the UPS as a frequency converter. In
this mode, the static bypass is disabled by the condition of
disparate input and output frequencies.
Even if the LCD on the backlit control panel shows
messages, it does not mean that the inverter is
operational. It is switched on by pressing the ‘ON’
button on the control panel, see Chapter 6.
4.4.1. Notable features.
•True on-line with double-conversion technology and output
frequency separate from the mains.
•Output power factor 1. Pure sine waveform, suitable for
almost all kinds of loads.
•Input power factor > 0.99 and high overall efficiency > 0.93.
Greater energy savings and lower user installation costs
(wiring), as well as low distortion of the input current,
which reduces pollution in the power supply network.
•Great adaptability to the worst conditions of the mains.
Wide input voltage, frequency and waveform ranges, thus
avoiding excessive dependence on limited battery power.
•Possibility of fast and easy backup extension by adding
modules in rack format (up to 3). Each battery module has
two connectors for easy connection to the device and other
identical modules.
•N+X redundant parallel connection to increase reliability
and flexibility with a maximum of 3 devices in parallel.
•Selectable high-efficiency mode (ECO MODE) > 0.93. Energy
savings, economically beneficial to the user.
•Possibility of starting the device without mains power
supply or discharged battery (Cold Start). Be careful
with this aspect because the greater the batteries are
discharged, the more the backup will be reduced.
•Intelligent battery management technology is very useful
for extending the life of accumulators and optimising
recharge times.
•Standard communication options via the RS-232 serial port
or USB port.
•Digital output for ‘Error or fault’ warning.
•Remote emergency power off control (EPO).
•Control panel with LCD available on all models and LED
indicator lights.
•Availability of optional connectability cards to improve
communication capabilities.
•Device that can be installed as a tower or rack using the
accessories supplied. The control panel can be rotated to
adapt to either format.
•The isolation transformer provides galvanic isolation in
order to completely isolate the output from the input and/or
change the neutral point treatment.
The placement of an electrostatic screen between the
primary and secondary windings of the transformer provides
a high level of electrical noise attenuation.
Physically, the isolation transformer module is located at
the output of the UPS, enabling several output voltages
(see Fig. 17 to Fig. 20).
