2 Overview
This chapter briefly introduces the features, design concept, parallel system, operation mode, battery management, and
battery protection of the Liebert APM Plus 500 kVA UPS (UPS for short).
2.1 Features
UPS is connected between a critical load (e.g. a computer) and mains power to provide high quality power for the loads.
The UPS has the following advantages:
•Augment power quality
UPS protects its output against the input power change through the intelligent controller.
•Provide mains failure protection
If the input power fails, the UPS will work in battery mode, and the power supply to the loads will not be interrupted.
2.2 Design Concept
2.2.1 System Design
This section introduces the working principle of the UPS single module. The UPS adopts AC-DC-AC converter (as shown in
Figure 2.1 on the next page). The first stage conversion (AC-DC) adopts three-phase high frequency rectifier to convert the
three-phase input voltage into stable DC bus voltage.

8 Mains input 16 Battery charger
The UPS has its own battery charger and adopts advanced temperature compensation technology to effectively prolong
the battery service life. The inverter adopts three level T-type IGBT topology and uses advanced SVPWM control
technology to derive the stable AC voltage from the DC bus voltage.
When the mains is normal, the rectifier and inverter work together to supply the loads and charge the battery.
When the mains is abnormal, the rectifier stops working, and the battery supplies power to the loads through the inverter. If
the battery voltage falls to end of discharge (EOD) voltage and the mains still has not been recovered, the UPS will shut
down (if the system uses split bypass configuration and the bypass is normal, the system will transfer to bypass). The
battery EOD voltage is preset. When the mains is abnormal, the battery maintains the UPS operation till the battery voltage
is reduced to EOD voltage and the UPS shuts down, this time is called 'Backup Time'. The length of backup time depends
on the battery capacity and the loads.
