Each component of the UPS system is housed in a free-standing cabinet designed for industrial or computer room applications. The cabinets match in style and color, and have safety shields behind the doors for hazardous voltage protection. Figure 1 shows a typical Powerware 9315 UPS system. CABINET Figure 1.
Looking Inside the UPS The Powerware 9315 is a continuous duty, solid-state UPS that supports the following equipment: process control, data processing, telecommunications/PBX, research, and medical. The Powerware 9315 maintains power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency conditions.
Automatic Battery Charge Current Limit A preset limit restricts battery charging current to protect batteries from damage due to high current charging. Charging at high currents can overheat and damage batteries. Powerware 9315 (200 kVA ---300 kVA) Operation 164201036 Rev. D 041500...
