1. Safety Precautions
The UPS system is designed for a wide range of environments. Nevertheless, the modular UPS
should be handled with care, according to the following guidelines.
1.1. Do’s
Read this manual carefully before starting installation and operation of the UPS.
Review the safety precautions described below to avoid injury to users and damage to the
equipment.
This UPS is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled, indoor area that is free
from conductive contaminants.
All power connections must be completed by a licensed electrician who is experienced in
wiring this type of equipment, and who is familiar with the local electrical codes and
regulations. Improper wiring may cause damage to the equipment, injury to personnel, or
even death.
Ensure all power is disconnected before performing installation or maintenance.
See installation guide for recommended clearances.
The UPS must be well grounded to the building’s grounding system with a conductor that
has a current carrying capacity that matches the rating of the UPS.
Battery installation, battery maintenance, and battery replacement shall be performed only
by authorized service personnel.
Pay attention to all DANGER, CAUTION, and WARNING notices affixed to the inside and
outside of the UPS.
Keep the surroundings clean, uncluttered and free from excess moisture.
Keep the operating environment within the parameters stated in this document.
Allow only qualified service engineers to service the UPS. There are no user-serviceable
components. Do not try to repair it yourself!
Use the UPS only for its intended purpose.
The batteries should preferably be installed next to the UPS, or as close to it as is
practically possible.

UPS for 400 Vac Grid, User Guide, doc. rev. 4
If you remove a power module from the UPS while the module is operating, wait five
minutes before reinserting the module. This allows the module’s capacitors time to
discharge.
FAST FUSES (SEMICONDUCTOR FUSES) must be used between the battery and the UPS –
for example, the Ferraz Shawmut A70QS fuse.
WARNING - RISK OF LETHAL ELECTRIC SHOCK:
WARNING! HIGH TOUCH CURRENT!
EARTH CONNECTION ESSENTIAL BEFORE CONNECTING SUPPLY.
WARNING - RISK OF LETHAL ELECTRIC SHOCK:
The battery cabinet contains a series of batteries that provides high
voltage and energy in the UPS body even when the UPS is not
connected to the AC input.
Take appropriate precautions during installation, inspection and
servicing.
UPS for 400 Vac Grid, User Guide, doc. rev. 4

1.2. Don’ts
Do not open the cover of the UPS or the battery cabinets under any circumstances. All
UPS panels and doors should be closed.
Do not insert any objects through the ventilation holes.
Do not put objects on the UPS.
Do not move the UPS while it is operating.
Do not use the UPS outdoors.
Do not turn the UPS upside down or lying down during transportation.
Do not connect or disconnect any AC or DC cables to the battery cabinet or UPS unless
ALL the battery circuit and AC circuit breakers are turned OFF.
Do not turn ON the battery circuit breaker when the battery cabinet is disconnected from
the UPS.
Do not install the UPS next to gas or electrical heaters. A restricted location is
recommended in order to prevent access by unauthorized personnel.
If you remove a power module from the UPS while the module is operating, do not
reinsert the module immediately. Wait five minutes.
WARNING - RISK OF LETHAL ELECTRIC SHOCK:
This UPS receives power from more than one source!
Disconnection of all AC sources and DC sources is
required to de-energize this unit before servicing.
WARNING - RISK OF LETHAL ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Do not touch uninsulated battery terminals.

2. Solaredge three phase modular UPS for 400Vac
In general, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides backup power for use when the utility
AC electric power mains fail or drop to an unacceptable voltage level. A Solaredge UPS does this
and much more.
The Solaredge UPS protects your data and equipment and minimize downtime and other adverse
effects that can be incurred by power failures and other irregularities.
Voltage surges, spikes and sags are inherent in commercial utility power. Over time, these
irregularities shorten the life of equipment and components. The UPS continually eliminates
power irregularities, thus helping to extend the life of your equipment, even through normal use
when the mains power is constant and continuous.
The UPS requires very little attention or intervention during normal operation; however, you
should read and understand the procedures described in this manual to ensure trouble-free
operation.
The UPS employs active current balancing between its power modules, and delivers overall
electrical efficiency of up to 96 %, 98 % in backup mode and up to 99% in ECO mode.

2.1. System structure
Solaredge three phase modular UPS comes in various base models that have a maximum power
capacity of 300kVA. The UPS includes from one to ten UPS power modules, each supplying 30
kVA.
In addition to the power modules, the UPS includes:
1. A system controller
2. A static switch module
3. An LCD display screen

3. Overview of System Components
This section provides a brief overview of the role and function of the UPS primary components. It
includes the following sections:
1. System controller (includes LCD control panel)
2. UPS module (30 kVA / 30 kW)
3. Static switch module
4. Battery
3.1. System controller
The UPS system controller has three main functions, including to:
1. Control and monitor operation of the UPS according to user commands.
2. Collect and summarize data from all sections of the UPS.
3. Manage communication with external computers for data transfer and operation.
The UPS can operate without the system controller but with reduced
functionality.
The system controller includes the LCD control panel used to monitor and
operate the UPS.
3.2. UPS module (30 kVA / 30 kW)
The power module is the core of the UPS, which consists of from one to ten identical internal
modules operating in parallel. The number of UPS modules installed in the cabinet depends on
the user's capacity and redundancy requirements.
Each UPS module includes a 3-phase charger with PFC (power factor correction) and a 3-phase
PWM (pulse-width modulation) inverter connected to batteries by a classic DC link.
3.3. Static switch module
The centralized, electronic static switch enables an automatic transfer of the load from the output
of the inverters to an alternate source –the AC mains. As an example –when the inverter is
unable to supply sufficient power to the load (for example, in the event of an overload, or an
inverter failure). The static switch transfers high currents at very high speed; a typical transfer time
is less than 3 ms.

3.4. Battery
The UPS's battery bank provides backup power to the UPS and its load devices in the event that
the utility AC input fails. The batteries are housed in an external cabinet adjacent to the UPS. The
batteries are charged by the rectifier that supplies power to both the inverter and the battery
charger.
The battery cabinet should be installed as close to the UPS as is practically possible.
Fast-acting fuses (semiconductor fuses) must be used between the battery and the UPS.
Protect the batteries from moisture, dampness, and foreign substances.
A safe disconnect device must be used on each battery box.
The temperature of the battery's surroundings influences the batteries' useful lifetime.
The UPS supports the use of standard lead-acid batteries, and also lithium-ion batteries.
If you plan to use lithium-ion batteries you must supply your own BMS
(Battery Management System), and you must follow Solaredge special
instructions for lithium-ion battery setup.
The setup instructions are available from
https://criticalpower.solaredge.com/customer-service.
