Applicability
This equipment can be applied to UPS models FLU-160-00, FLU-200-00, and FLU-250-00.
These UPS models operate at 480 V, 60 Hz and can be wired as delta in and delta out (3
wire plus ground) or wye in and wye out (4 wire plus ground).
For installations requiring other voltages or other wiring configurations, the equipment
covered by this manual is not appropriate. Please contact Staco Energy Products
Company for recommendations regarding the proper equipment.
It is permissible to use a larger Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet (MBS) than is required
for the UPS, but special installation requirements must be met: the power source
connected to the MBS must include circuit protection as specified for the input in the UPS
manual and an output breaker must be provided per the UPS manual. For example, if a
250 kVA MBS is applied to a 160 kVA UPS, a 300 A breaker must be provided at the power
source and a 300 A breaker must be provided between the MBS and the load. If the MBS
rating matches the UPS rating, then the breakers that form the MBS switch arrangement
satisfy the input and output breaker requirement for the UPS.

SECTION 4
Electrical Installation
Overview
Each of the pieces of equipment covered by this manual has four sets of power
connections:
1. Input from the power source, typically, from the electric utility.
2. Power routed to the input of the UPS. If the bypass and rectifier inputs are powered
from separate sources, the bypass input must be fed from the MBS.
3. Power from the output of the UPS.
4. Power to the load
There are four control connections between the Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet and
the UPS that must be made. The required control connections are described later in this
section.
A user accessible disconnect device must be provided (by other’s) between the output of
this cabinet and the load. Refer to Table 5for current requirements.
WARNING
Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform
the installation and initial startup. There is a risk of electrical shock.
Wiring Preparation
1. Verify that the equipment is the proper type. The equipment covered by this manual
is 480 V 60 Hz input and output, only. The Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet
(MBS) can be used in delta-delta or wye-wye applications, but the UPS must be
properly configured (refer to the UPS manual). For delta-delta applications where an
input neutral is not provided, the output neutral connection must not be used and the
MBS to UPS neutral connections should be omitted.
2. Plan the locations of conduits. Two Conduit landing plates are provided at the top
(see Figure 1) and bottom of the cabinet. Connections between the MBS and UPS
must be made at the bottom. The landing plates in the rear must be used for the
power connections. As noted above, there are four sets of power connections and
one set of control connections. The low voltage control connection wires must be
routed through the bottom landing plate in the front of the cabinet to ensure physical
separation between them and the power wiring.
3. All wiring is to be in compliance with all applicable codes.
4. Verify that the source circuit capability is in compliance with the requirements shown
in Table 3and Table 4.

Wiring Installation
1. Switch off utility power to the distribution point where the UPS will be connected. Be
absolutely sure that there are no hazardous voltages present. Use lockout/tagout
procedures to assure safety.
2. Remove as many panels as needed for adequate access for wiring the cabinet. Open
the front door of the MBS Cabinet. If necessary, remove the top and bottom shield
cover panels located above and below the circuit breakers by removing the four (4)
screws that mount each in place. See Figure 4.
3. Connect wires from the "TO UPS INPUT" bus bar terminal pads, see Figure 4and
Figure 5, to the input terminals in the UPS. (Refer to the UPS manual). The wire must
be in compliance with Table 3and the terminals must be torqued in compliance with
Table 6. Make sure that phase A connects to phase A and so on. If the bypass and
rectifier inputs are powered from separate sources, the bypass input must be fed from
the MBS.
4. Connect wires from the "FROM UPS OUTPUT" bus bar terminal pads to the output
terminals in the UPS. (Refer to the UPS manual). The wire must be in compliance with
Table 3and the terminals must be torqued in compliance with Table 6. Make sure that
phase A connects to phase A and so on.
5. Connect wires from the "OUTPUT TO LOAD" bus bar terminal pads to the load. The
load may be an external distribution panel, etc. If neutral is not needed by the load,
then it does not need to be supplied. The wire must be in compliance with Table 3and
the terminals must be torqued in compliance with Table 6. Make sure that phase A
connects to phase A and so on.
6. A set of four or five control connections must be installed from the "CUSTOMER LOW
VOLTAGE CONNECTION TERMINAL BLOCK" to the Remote Commands and Alarm
Connections in the front of the UPS cabinet. These control wires must be physically
separated from any power wires. The length of the control wires is limited to 30 feet or
10 meters. These connections are described later in this section.
7. Verify that the input power source is not powered. Connect wires from the "UTILITY
INPUT" bus bar terminal pads to the input source power from the building distribution.
The wire must be in compliance with Table 3and the terminals must be torqued in
compliance with Table 6.Make sure that phase A connects to phase A and so on.
The source needs to have A-B-C phase sequence. If not, exchange two of the phase
connections to correct this.
8. If the system is the used in a wye-wye application, ensure that the neutral wires are
connected to the “Neutral” bus bar terminal pad.
9. Check all work. Replace the panels that were removed for access. Insure that the
shield cover panels have been mounted in place. Failure to do so could subject
personnel to lethal voltages.

Page | 12
Control Connections
Four control connections must be made between the Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet
(MBS) and the UPS in order to provide backfeed protection, a required safety feature
The wiring to these low voltage (“ELV”) connections must be kept separated from the
higher voltage wiring. Refer to Figure 4regarding the Low Voltage Terminal Block and to
the UPS manual that shows the connection point in the UPS.
Connections between the Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet and the UPS
Since these wires affect the operation of the UPS, they should be protected. Running them
in conduit is a good idea, even if local codes do not require conduit. It is also
recommended that the wires are shielded twisted pairs. Alpha 6010C is a shielded cable
with three twisted pairs and is available from a number of sources in various spool lengths.
Two pairs are required:
Pair 1 - First wire from terminal 2 of the Low Voltage Connection Terminal Block (LVTB) of
the Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet to terminal 11 of the Remote Commands and
Alarms Connections on the UPS (RCA-UPS). Second wire from terminal 1 of LVTB to
terminal 12 of RCA-UPS.
Pair 2 – First wire from terminal 3 of LVTB to terminal 1 of RCA-UPS. Second wire from
terminal 4 of LVTB to terminal 2 of RCA-UPS.
Figure 7is an electrical wiring schematic summarizing the connections to the Low Voltage
Connection Terminal Block.
Terminal Strip Torque Requirements
The terminals on the Customer Low Voltage Connection Terminal Block must be torqued to
5.3 to 7.0 inch-lbs. The terminals on the Control Connections (on the UPS) must be torqued
to 4.4 inch-lbs.
Figure 6 - Customer Low Voltage Connection Terminal Block

SECTION 5
Operation
Refer to the User's Manual for the UPS for instructions on operating the UPS part of the
system. If the UPS is part of a parallel system, special operating instructions apply.
Maintenance Bypass Switch (MBS)
The purpose of the Maintenance Bypass Switch (MBS) is to facilitate servicing the UPS
without removing power from the load. The main functional components of the MBS are
three circuit breakers that are used as disconnect switches. We will designate them
“BKR1”, “BKR2”, and “BKR3”, but they are labeled “1”, “2”, and “3” above the breaker
handles on the front inner cover of the cabinet. The breakers each have three positions: off
(down), on (up), and tripped (in between off and on). To turn on a tripped breaker, reset
the breaker by pushing the handle down to the off position, then raise it to the on position.
If a breaker will not reset or trips as being turned on, the backfeed prevention interlock is
active and the proper conditions (as described below) will have to be present before the
breaker can be operated. When closed, BKR1 supplies power from the supply (utility) to
the bypass input of the UPS. For single input UPS configurations, it also supplies power to
the rectifier input. When closed, BKR3 connects the output of the UPS to the load. When
closed, BKR2 bypasses the path through BKR1, the UPS, and BKR3 and connects the
supply directly to the load. BKR2 and BKR3 must never be closed at the same time unless
the UPS is in bypass mode. It does not matter which type of bypass, but bypass via
SWMB is the simplest to engage. There are signals that support an interlock function to
prevent BKR2 from being closed unless BKR3 is open or the UPS is in bypass mode. For
the UPS to be able to issue this signal, the UPS controls must be powered. Always
observe proper switching sequence to avoid loss of power to the load Common switching
operations are also described, below. There are also some problem scenarios listed.
The three switches (Breaker 1, Breaker 2, and Breaker 3) have eight possible combinations
or "States". Table 7lists all of the possible states. Note that one possibility (Breaker 1
open, Breaker 2 and Breaker 3 closed) is forbidden as unexpected system behavior could
result, including loss of power to the load. The Overlap State is a transient state. It is the
"make" before the "break". Time spent in this state should be kept to a minimum as
external events could lead to tripping Breaker 2, possibly interrupting power to the load.
Also, please note that the UPS does not condition the power to the load while in bypass
and that battery back-up is not available while in bypass.
To avoid damage to the UPS and to avoid interrupting power to the load, the procedures
listed in Table 8must be used to change from one state to another. The MBS is equipped
with a label (see Figure 8) that describes the breaker sequences for two common
operations. The "To place load on maintenance bypass" sequence describes going from
Normal State to Overlap to UPS Unloaded to Maintenance. The "To place load on UPS"
sequence describes going from Maintenance State to UPS Unloaded to Overlap to Normal.

Common MBS operations: (refer to the UPS manual for UPS operations; BKR1,
BKR2, BKR3 are part of the Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet; all other switches
are part of the UPS)
To transfer from normal mode on the UPS to maintenance bypass—
1. Verify that the bypass source is satisfactory: at minimum, verify that the bypass
source lamp (LED1 at upper left) on the front panel of the UPS is steady green and
that the legend “BYPASS VOLTAGE FAIL” is not present on the display. If the load
is already being supported by the Static Bypass, the yellow “Load on Bypass” lamp
(LED4, upper right) will be steady (or flashing if the load exceeds the UPS rating).
Refer to Section 6 of the UPS manual regarding the indicators.
2. Close SWMB on the UPS. After SWMB is closed, the yellow “Load on Bypass” lamp
will flash and the inverter will stop and battery supported operation is no longer
possible.
3. Close BKR2.
4. Open BKR3.
5. Shut down the UPS, if desired, by opening SWOUT, SWIN, SWBY, and open the
Battery Disconnect(s). Optionally open SWMB.
6. If the UPS is shut down, open BKR1. The UPS is completely de-energized at this
point.
To transfer from MBS to normal mode—
1. Close BKR1.
2. On the UPS, verify that SWMB is closed, if not, close it.
3. Close SWBY, SWIN, and SWOUT. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Close BKR3.
5. Open BKR2.
6. Open SWMB. The UPS should start and operate normally.
7. When the display no longer shows: “Wait: DO NOT connect the BATTERY”, the
disconnect breakers in each battery cabinet should be closed. Refer to Section 4.6
for the proper procedure for connecting the battery.
Normal start-up with load unpowered—
1. Verify that BKR2 is open; open it if closed.
2. Verify that SWBY is open.
3. Close BKR1 and BKR3.
4. Perform a normal UPS start-up as per Section 4.6 of the UPS manual.

Page | 15
Need to get power to the load, but the condition of the UPS is uncertain—
1. Verify that the load is truly not powered.
2. Verify that the utility source is suitable (applying power to the load using the MBS is
at the operator’s risk).
3. Verify that BKR1 and BKR3 are open; open them if necessary.
4. Close BKR2. The load is now powered via the MBS. The UPS is not functional and
battery supported operation is not possible.
Need to operate the UPS as part of maintenance, but wish to maintain power to
load—
1. If UPS is running, perform transfer from normal mode to MBS, as instructed, above.
After opening BKR3, the UPS can be left powered (via BKR1) and/or its mode can
be changed as desired.
2. If BKR2 is already closed, close BKR1 to apply power to the UPS. If the UPS is dual
input, there is another supply that must be applied to power the rectifier.
3. There is some risk in starting the UPS while the load is powered via BKR2 (MBS
mode). A fault in the UPS could cause the upstream circuit protection (circuit
breaker or fuse) to operate, removing power from both the faulted UPS input and the
MBS input and, therefore, the output.
Potential Problems:
MBS will not allow BKR2 to close—
1. Check to see that the UPS is on bypass (SWMB is closed).
2. The UPS controls must be powered (BKR1 and SWBY should be closed).
3. Verify that the backfeed prevention interlock signals were properly wired as part of
the installation and that this wiring has not been damaged.
BKR2 in the MBS trips when power is applied—
1. This is likely due to a procedural error. Note that BKR2 and BKR3 must not be
closed at the same time unless the UPS is powered and the UPS is in bypass mode.
2. It is likely that BKR3 is closed and the backfeed prevention interlock function is
preventing BKR2 from staying closed.
3. Since the UPS is not powered, the signal that indicates that the UPS is in bypass
mode cannot be generated.
4. Open BKR3 and close BKR2. BKR2 should close and stay closed.
5. If power to the UPS is not required, open BKR1.

SECTION 6
Maintenance
There are no wear items in the MBS that require periodic replacement. However, regular
care will assure maximum availability of power.
Keep the ventilation openings in the cabinet free of dust and debris.
Wipe the cabinet exterior with a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water, to remove dust.
Consider performing periodic infrared temperature measurements on the circuit breaker
terminations. This will require access to the cabinet interior. There are hazardous voltages
present and any work must be performed using caution. Only trained service personnel
should perform this work. Elevated temperatures of the terminations usually are the sign of
a loose connection, but can also signal that a breaker is failing. Loose connections should
only be serviced after removal of power.
If the system is powered down, consider removing accumulated dust from the cabinet
interior using a vacuum cleaner.
