Always On UPS Systems Key features: 0.9 power factor, the Always On NX Series delivers more real power than other manufactured UPS’s. With today’s trend toward power factor corrected loads, the NX Series can support more total load than any other UPS, of similar size, allowing you to support a greater number of today’s Power Factor Corrected (PFC) equipment.
Always On UPS Systems THEORY OF OPERATION General Topology Figure 3.1.1 General Block Diagram UPS Module Components: The UPS module consists of the following major components: Input, Reserve and Bypass circuit breakers Rectifier / Charger Inverter Microprocessor controlled logic and control panel with alarm indicators and digital...
Always On UPS Systems Normal Operation Mode Figure 3.2.1 Normal Mode Operation rectifier/charger converts the supplied AC power into DC (bus) power, which is then supplied to the inverter and the battery charger. The DC to AC inverter then supplies continuous, noise free AC power to the critical loads. The inverter output is synchronized with the bypass AC power source provided that the bypass AC power source is within the specified frequency range.
Always On UPS Systems Reserve Mode: Figure 3.4.1 Reserve Mode Operation If the inverter is placed into an abnormal condition, such as over temperature, short circuit, abnormal output voltage or is overloaded for a period which exceeds the inverter’s limits, the inverter will automatically shutdown in order to protect itself.
–up operation causing possible damage. k. Wide input range: The components are overrated by designed to handle high input voltages and currents without harm to the system, ensuring that Always On UPS’s remain one of the most reliable UPS Systems available in today’s market.

Always On UPS Systems m. Intelligent charger: The UPS will automatically recharge (boost charge) the batteries when the battery voltage level decreases to approximately 2V/Cell or to a user specified level. To prevent the over-charging of the battery, the boost charge will stop when batteries achieve a...
In order to further improve the power factor and reduce harmonic current drawn by the rectifier, Always On UPS’s above 80kVA incorporate a 12-pulse full controlled rectifier (also available as an option on the 10 to 60kVA UPS’s) to reduce the total harmonic current to less than 12%. A phase shift transformer is added with input inductors to achieve this higher level of performance while maintaining our high input power factor.
Always On UPS Systems Inverter Figure 3.8.1 Inverter Layout The inverter is composed of IGBT’s, inductors, capacitors, highly efficient filters, control circuitry and protection circuitry. This inverter inverts the DC power received on the DC bus to isolated, noise-free AC power, which is then supplied to the critical loads. Our PWM wave generator is switching at a higher frequency well above the human audible range.
3.10 Maintenance Bypass Switch The maintenance bypass switch is a function of Always On UPS’s, which is open under normal operation, and closed for maintenance service. All power supplied to the UPS should be disconnected before service begins.

In the event that physical damage is visible, the carrier must be informed immediately and a claim filed with them. Inform Always On as soon as the claim has been filed and a copy of claim should be faxed to Always On at (250) 491-9775.
The RAM is supplied by a small backup battery located on the Controller board. If the storage time of the UPS exceeds 1 year, these functions should be verified by an Always On Service Center before putting the UPS into operation. 6.3.2 STORAGE OF BATTERY Although this system includes maintenance free batteries, keep in mind that they are subject to self-discharge and therefore must be recharged.
Always On UPS Systems Site & Environment Consideration The designed function of the UPS is to provide a safe, clean and independent electrical supply free from random variations, disturbances or interruptions of the utility mains. The UPS will provide a constant power source, which is regulated in both voltage and frequency. When the utility mains are not available, the UPS will provide optimal back-up time depending on the capacity connected battery bank.
Always On UPS Systems d. Do not place any objects on the top of the UPS that might obscure the ventilation. Do not place the UPS near any heat source, or machinery, which may produce metallic particles, dust or powder.

Always On UPS Systems transport company and inform Always On. Also check to ensure all of the accessories/options ordered are received. • DOOR KEY • OPERATOR’S MANUAL • BATTERY FUSE (FOR BATTERY CABINET ONLY) Check and verify the specifications of the UPS are identical to the specifications of the system ordered.
Always On UPS Systems Cable Selection The cabling of the UPS system has to be sized according to the UPS power rating. Sizing of circuit breakers, fuses and cables for input utility, output load and battery must meet the requirements of local and national electrical codes.
