Verify that the input and output power cable connections, ground, and neutral lines comply with local and national codes and are appropriate for the circuit breakers protecting them.
7. FAST FUSES (SEMICONDUCTOR FUSES) must be used between the battery and the Gamatronic UPS. For example, the Ferraz Shawmut A70QS fuse (F1, F2, F3 and F4 in Figure 16. Be sure to verify proper polarity. 8. For initial startup to take place, the battery must be connected to the UPS and must be available.
The Neutral Line 3.3.4.2. When the UPS is operating, a neutral line must be connected at all times and must not be disconnected at any time. Caution: If at any time the neutral line becomes disconnected, there will be no input or output reference voltage because the input neutral line and the output neutral line are physically linked together.
Connecting the UPS to the electrical panel 3.3.4.4. When connecting the electrical panel to The Gamatronic UPS, a torque of 10 to 20 Nm is recommended on the UPS terminal side. The lug size needed to fit a 3/8" or metric M10 screw size.
A suitably rated fuse must be installed on the rectifier ac input line and bypass input line. Refer to Figure 9 or Figure 10 for system connections and to Table 2 for circuit breaker recommendations. See Chapter 5 for an overview of circuit breaker selectivity. Warning: Connection of The UPS to the electrical panel must be performed only by a licensed electrician experienced with similar systems.

5. Circuit Breaker Selectivity When discussing power distribution, “selectivity " (also referred to as “discrimination”), it is the selection and arrangement of circuit breakers such that in the event of a short circuit or overload in the line, the circuit breaker closest to the short will be tripped and the upstream circuit breakers remain unaffected.

6. Parallel Operation 6.1. Theory When two or more UPS units are deployed in parallel, they are connected according to the decentralized Static Switch method (see below). Special technical solutions and control algorithms are implemented to synchronize all units in the system to prevent circulation of energy between them and to isolate a faulty unit from the common power bus.
"ring configuration" arrangement. This is accomplished by the use of Gamatronic-provided cables with D25 connectors on each end. Parallel communication keeps the parallel units synchronized with each other and is used to pass commands and status information between units.
Figure 61: Parallel comm. connections (see Table 7) Figure 62: Location of the parallel comm. connections at inside rear of the system Connections for the two parallel communication cables when two or more UPS’s are being operated in parallel configuration. All parallel communication cables (the 25-pin cables) must be housed in appropriate conduits.
Common vs. Decentralized battery 6.1.2.2. Gamatronic UPS systems running in parallel can be setup in one of two ways to batteries. 1. Common battery. Is a single battery connection that is shared between all the UPS systems that are running in parallel.
UPSs, and the bypass input cables must be at least 10 meters in length. 3. Connect the UPSs in a ring configuration using two parallel kit communication cables on each UPS. For parallel systems with common battery, contact Gamatronic support for special cable. UPS for 208 Vac Grid, Installation Guide, doc. rel. 3.0...
5. Turn on one of the systems. This system will become the “master” system. Wait until the startup procedure is complete. When the startup procedure completes you will be presented with the main System Menu screen as below: UPS for 208 Vac Grid, B60US-IB Installation Guide, doc. rel. 3.0...
Figure 65: System Menu main screen The screen should display UPS ON, Normal mode message, and there should be no alarms present. If there are active alarms, resolve any problems before continuing. 6. Put the UPS in multisystem mode (System Menu > Setup > System > Multisystem mode).
If the difference in output voltage is greater than 2 % for any phase, navigate to the System Menu > Status screen, tap the Modules icon, and then tap the Output tab at the bottom of the page. The following screen appears: UPS for 208 Vac Grid, B60US-IB Installation Guide, doc. rel. 3.0...

The rating of circuit breaker CB12 in the connection schematics must be appropriate for the number of parallel UPSs. Table 8: Rating of CB12 (for maintenance bypass option) UMBER OF ECOMMENDED RATING FOR CB12 (A PARALLEL UPS for 208 Vac Grid, B60US-IB Installation Guide, doc. rel. 3.0...
7. Maintenance Bypass Mode Procedure In maintenance bypass mode, the UPS does not to supply power to the load and UPS is isolated from the mains power. This enables a technician, after turning off ALL the input, output and battery circuit breakers, to work safely on the UPS. The technician can perform full maintenance procedures, load testing and even replace the unit without any interruption of power to the load.
Transferring the UPS to maintenance bypass mode from normal mode In normal operation, the UPS's ac circuit breakers are positioned as shown in Table 9 (see Figure 71 for CB locations). UPS for 208 Vac Grid, B60US-IB Installation Guide, doc. rel. 3.0...
Table 9: Normal mode operating position of the circuit breakers Battery box input Rectifier ac input Bypass ac input UPS AC output Maintenance bypass (on battery box) (CB 2) (CB 3) (CB 5) (CB 6) To put the system in maintenance bypass mode: 1.
The UPS On – Bypass mode screen appears: Figure 74: UPS ON - Bypass mode Notice the UPS ON Bypass mode message on the screen. 7. Verify that the load is being supported by the bypass. UPS for 208 Vac Grid, B60US-IB Installation Guide, doc. rel. 3.0...
Then, operate the UPS's ac circuit breakers as follows: 1. Switch ON the MAINTENANCE BYPASS circuit breaker. 2. Switch OFF the AC OUTPUT circuit breaker. 3. Switch OFF the RECTIFIER AC INPUT circuit breaker. 4. Switch OFF the BYPASS AC INPUT circuit breaker. 5.

8. Using the UPS with a Generator At many sites a generator is used as a reserve source for feeding the UPS during mains power failure. 8.1. The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) In such cases, the switching between the two sources (the mains and the generator) is performed by an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS).
9. Service and Repairs IMPORTANT NOTICES 1. Any company whose technicians have been trained by Gamatronic and has received proper authorization and certification has Gamatronic’s permission to apply modifications to our products in North America. Modifications could entail adding or removing modules as well as performing service or maintenance.
