UPS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The UPS of the HALLEY/E series is the type “ON LINE DOUBLE CONVERSION” and is connected between main power and user loads (see picture 1). As far as architecture and lay-out is concerned, this project is optimised with particular care in order to make it suitable for applications where reliability and high performances are fundamental for critical loads.
• Battery (B) • Static switch: Static inverter switch (SSI) and Static Bypass switch (SB) • Manual Bypass (MB) RECTIFIER / BATTERY CHARGER The rectifier/Battery charger converts the AC input voltage to DC voltage, feeding the inverter and keeping the battery charged. Picture 2 –...
2.1.1 Operation with ONE charging level This type of charge is generally used with sealed lead acid batteries that, owing to the manufacturing technology, have a very narrow voltage range. In fact, the nominal charging voltage ranges between 2,25÷2,27 V/cell, with a maximum value of 2,3 V/cell. The picture below shows the charging curves at different charging currents;...
The output transformer provides the galvanic insulation between DC and AC side, as well as voltage adaptation. Its integrated inductance forms, together with the AC capacitors, a low-pass filter that provides to eliminate the high frequency ripple and keep the total harmonic distortion of the inverter waveform (THD) lower than 2% (with linear load).
Picture 6 – Operation with non-linear load 2.2.2 Overload management Inverter can provide continuously 100% of nominal load and can tolerate overload conditions up to 125% for 10 minutes or 150% for 1 minute. Peak conditions such as take-off of engines or magnetic parts are managed limiting the output current to 200% for 5 cycles, than reducing to 125%.
1) BYPASS AVAILABLE As soon as an overload is detected the algorithm starts to calculate the increment of the energy. When the limit is reached the load is transferred to bypass. To allow a safe cooling of the inverter power components (IGBT’s, transformer)
Picture 10 – Short circuit characteristic (By-pass not available) 2.2.4 IGBT bridge protection The inverter current monitoring is carried out by the DC current transducer connected upstream the inverter bridge. Therefore the control logic is able to distinguish an output short circuit from an IGBT short circuit.
BATTERY On the HALLEY/E 20-30kVA UPS, the battery can be installed inside the UPS for autonomy from 5 up to 15 minutes depending on the UPS power (see following table); if the requested back-up time is longer the battery is installed inside external cabinets. On the HALLEY/E 40÷80kVA UPS the battery is always installed in external cabinets.
Thanks to the transfer logic integrated in the control, the load is supplied by the bypass static switch even in case of microprocessor failure. Overload capability: 150% continuously 200% for 1 minute 2000% for 1 cycle 2.4.1 Inverter Emergency Line transfer The transfer is activated only if emergency line is in tolerance (in less than 0,5 ms), for the following reasons: CAUSES...
OPERATING MODES NORMAL OPERATION During normal operation all the circuit breakers/switches are closed except MBCB (maintenance bypass). The three-phase input AC voltage feeds the rectifier via the filter inductor; the rectifier supplies the inverter and compensate mains voltage fluctuations as well as load variation, maintaining the DC voltage constant.
BATTERY OPERATION In the event of mains failure, or rectifier failure, the inverter is no longer supplied by the rectifier, so the battery, that is connected to the DC intermediate circuit, is called up immediately and without interruption to supply the load. The battery voltage drops as a function of the magnitude of the discharge current.
BYPASS OPERATION Bypass operation may occur for both manual or automatic change-over. The manual transfer is due to the BYPASS SWITCH, that forces the load to bypass. In the event of a bypass failure the load is transferred back to inverter without interruption. Picture 15 –...

MANUAL BYPASS The manual bypass operation is necessary every time the functionality of the UPS needs to be checked or during maintenance or repair works. The manual bypass procedure is described in the UPS operating manual and must be followed carefully in order to avoid damages to the UPS. During the functional check of the UPS, all the breakers can be closed, except for the output breaker OCB, and the full functionality can be tested.

USER INTERFACE (FRONT PANEL) The front panel of the UPS, consisting of a double row alphanumeric display plus 5 function keys, allows the complete monitoring of the UPS status. The mimic flow helps to understand the operating status of the UPS. Picture 19 –...
ALARMS AND OPERATING STATUS The alphanumeric display offers a complete diagnostic of the system by showing 25 alarms and 6 operating status descriptions. Each alarm is associated with an internal protection, controlled by the microprocessor, that disables certain UPS functions in order to avoid possible load breaks.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION 5.2.1 Receipt of the UPS When the UPS is received, please attend immediately to its unpacking and carry-out an accurate visual check to be sure that the equipment has not been damaged during transport. IMPORTANT In case of objections relating to damage incurred during transport these must be immediately notified to the transportation company after receipt of the equipment.
5.2.3 Positioning and installation The UPS must be installed in a clean and dry room, preferably not dusty. The User must ensure that there is enough air exchange in the room so that the equipment can be adequately cooled; if this is not guaranteed, the room must be adequately aired. If the UPS contains the batteries internally the air exchange with the external ambient will have to be according to EN 50091-1, annex N.

OPTIONS INSULATION TRANSFORMERS The additional transformers are used in UPS input and/or output, to adapt the voltage, or to separate the UPS from the mains and/or the load. They are assembled in external cabinets. 6.1.1 By-pass insulation transformer It is used when the three phase input mains is without neutral or the galvanic isolation between the mains and the load is required.
Therefore the main advantages of the use of a 12 pulses rectifier are: • Lowest harmonic content of the AC input current • Lowest ripple on the DC output voltage • Better operating conditions for the AC supply cables • Better operating conditions for a possible diesel generator Picture 31 –...
It is mounted in a separate cabinet and it is equipped with free voltage contacts for the indication of the switch position (open-closed) and fuses condition. 6.5.1 Connections The battery switch with fuses is connected between the UPS and the external battery cabinet as illustrated below.
REMOTE EPO The voltage supply to the loads can be interrupted from a remote location by using the remote EPO option (i.e. for safety requirements). A normally closed contact must be connected to the UPS terminal board; when this contact is open the inverter and by-pass static switches are disabled so that the output supply is interrupted.
THERMAL COMPENSATION BATTERY CHARGE It consists of a temperature thermal sensor to be installed in the battery room (or battery cubicle) in order to detect the operating temperature. This transducer is able to modify the charging voltage according to the typical curve supplied from the battery manufacturer.
Minimum battery voltage 326Vdc Maximum charging voltage 490Vdc As soon as the battery charging current exceeds a certain threshold (generally 0,08C the rectifier switches to BOOST charge (2,4 V/cell for lead acid batteries, 1,55 V/cell for Ni-Cd batteries) and starts a charging cycle with the first part at constant current as the voltage increases slowly.
It is possible because all units are constantly in operation and feed the load in parallel at “total load / n”, where “n” is the number of the UPS. The AC automatic current sharing control equalizes the currents of the “n” units and reduces the total unbalance to less than 10%, under all load conditions.
6.14 REMOTE PANEL The remote operating panel is used for remote monitoring of the UPS for distance up to 400m, it can be installed in a control room, and provides the same user interface as the local panel. Consistently with UPS front panel, it is based on 2x20 LCD display, leds, keys, silk-screen and buzzer.
