    (e.g., a dropped wrench) on one system will cause a failure in a second system. Liebert has minimized the risk of system-to-system electrical noise susceptibility and faults in sys- tem-to-system copper wire control circuitry through the use of fiber-optic technology as well as trans- former and impedance isolation techniques in critical control circuits.

    A key design requirement for maximizing multiple system reliability and inverter availability in tied configurations is assuring maximum system independence under the normal, separated operating conditions. Liebert has incorporated a number of unique solutions in your Power-Tie System to accomplish these high availability/high reliability performance goals: Digital Controls Digital Controls provide more precise control than analog techniques.

    Series 610 UPS systems (as well as previous Series 500 designs). The only time intersystem controls are active is during the actual operation of transferring loads back and forth between the UPS systems, a period of a few cycles.
  • Page 11: Continuous Tie

    Continuous Tie See Figure 3. The Liebert Continuous Tie system is a topology that extends the concept of a manually initiated momentary tie of UPS critical load buses by providing the capability to continuously parallel the out- put buses of two otherwise independent UPS Systems.
  • Page 12: Tie System Components

    Tie System Components See Figure 4. A Liebert Power-Tie Uninterruptible Power System consists of the following basic components: 1. Two complete, independent UPSs with individual load buses, each with the capability to source the combined critical load of the two load buses. Each of the two UPSs may be a single-module system (SMS) or a multi-module system (MMS).
  • Page 13: Modes Of Operation

    1.5.5 Modes of Operation See Figure 4. The Power-Tie Uninterruptible Power System is designed to operate in the following modes: 1. Normal - Each load bus is fed from its respective UPS and the tie breaker is open. Each inverter is synchronized to its respective bypass source.

  • Page 15: Operation Description

    PERATION ESCRIPTION There are two types of operations which can be performed with the Liebert Continuous Power-Tie System. • Create a continuous tie between the critical buses of two UPS systems • Transfer of a critical load between two UPS systems...

  • Page 17: Separating Tied Systems

    Separating Tied Systems The following sequence of operations describes the actions taken to separate two tied UPS systems. Synchronize Systems From the CONTINUOUS TIE CONTROL section, press the SYNCHRONIZE SYSTEMS button. The button’s light turns off to provide a visual indication of the operator’s intention to separate the sys- tems.
  • Page 18: Combined Loads On One System From Continuous Tie Operation

    Design Criteria The ultimate power goal in the design of the Liebert Continuous Tie System is to provide maximum UPS availability and maintainability without compromising the inherent reliability of the UPS sys- tems. We have designed the Continuous Power-Tie system to minimize or eliminate possible failure modes and their effect on the system.
  • Page 19 In addition, all these status signals have impedance protection between the signal wire connec- tions and the system power supplies and ground. The Tie Control’s power supply can use either UPS system’s output as its source and the Tie Control power supply employs transformer isolation.

  • Page 22: Improper User Operation

    Operation Description Improper User Operation See Figures 4 and 5. The Power-Tie Operator controls and logic are designed so that improper opera- tor use does not directly cause a loss of critical bus functions. Additional security functions, such as removable key switches, are available as system options. Transfer Operation Transfer functions require two push-button operations.
  • Page 23: Tie Circuit Breaker Or Logic Faults

    Tie Circuit Breaker or Logic Faults The Continuous Power-Tie system has been designed to anticipate circuit breaker and logic faults. Should a circuit breaker or logic fault occur, the Power-Tie system maintains the critical bus function under fault conditions 2.8.1 What Happens If a Failure Occurs During a Power Transfer During normal operation, the Power-Tie logic maintains system isolation.

    ONTROL ANEL Refer to Figure 5. Mimic Panel The Mimic panel consists of the following: • UPS SYSTEM 1 - PRIMARY BYPASS • UPS SYSTEM 2 - PRlMARY BYPASS • UPS SYSTEM 1 - ON BYPASS • UPS SYSTEM 2 - ON BYPASS •...
  • Page 25: Load Transfer Controls

    Control Panel Description Tie Circuit Breaker These two lights indicate the OPEN (Red light) or CLOSED (Green light) state of the Tie circuit breaker. Load 1 - Normal This light indicates that Load 1 is being supplied by UPS System 1. Load 1 supplied by UPS system 1 represents the normal operating mode.
  • Page 26 Control Panel Description OK to Transfer Load 2 to System 2 This light indicates that it is safe to transfer Load 2 from UPS System 1 to UPS System 2. The trans- fer occurs when the PUSH TO TRANSFER AFTER OK button is pressed, but only if this light is on. Transfer Control Disabled This light indicates that load transfers are not allowed because the systems are currently being put in parallel operation.
  • Page 27: Continuous Tie Control

    The primary sync indicator is based on UPS module sync bus coincidence. This light normally turns on while the systems are synchronizing prior to a Tie or Transfer operation. If the light does not turn off, contact Liebert Global Services for assistance. Control Panel Description...
  • Page 28: Manual Controls

    This light indicates that a logic failure has occurred. No Tie operations are allowed while this condi- tion exists. Check all tie control logic functions to determine the source of the fault. Contact Liebert Global Ser- vices for assistance. Lamp Test This button is pressed to check all indicators on the MIMIC and CONTROL PANEL.

    4.2.6 Returning an Isolated System to Normal Operation - End Combined Loads Operation One Load circuit breaker and the Tie circuit breaker are closed. The Load circuit breaker of the iso- lated system which was being serviced will be opened. 1.
  • Page 32: Abnormal Operations

    4.2.9 Abnormal Operations Improper Transfer Transfers can not be performed unless the OK TO TRANSFER LOAD (#) TO SYSTEM (#) light turns on. This makes it difficult to begin an improper transfer. The source feeding the UPS modules does not matter because the UPS inverter output is isolated from the rectifier.
  • Page 33: 4.2.11 Continuous Tie-Systems

    4.2.11 Continuous Tie-Systems A UPS system that has lost one or more modules can be taken off-line for service. The UPS system with partial capacity can be continuously tied to the other UPS system (also full or partial capacity) and the critical loads of both systems are protected by the single, fully redundant UPS. When service is complete the UPS module(s) can be brought on-line again and the system separated, without plac- ing a critical load on the Bypass source.
  • Page 34 Maintenance Procedures - Tie Control Logic and Power Components Refer to the procedures in 4.2.3 - Maintenance Procedures - Isolating Each UPS System to iso- late the UPS’s load circuit breaker and the associated downstream feeders for service. By using downstream switchover devices for the individual critical loads, such as ATSs or dual input PDUs, the load feeder components to be maintained are de-energized.
  • Page 35: 4.2.12 Isolation For Maintenance

    Typically, to assist maintenance personnel, maintenance circuit breaker operation is further guided by an electrical or electromechan- ical interlock system. For detailed instructions for use of the maintenance bypass switchboard, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your Liebert Series 610 UPS.
