Basic Operation (continued) 1.3 Operating Principles 1.3.1 System Layout Manual Bypass Circuit Breaker Bypass Input Circuit Breaker Main Input MAIN Circuit Breaker BATTERY Manual Bypass Circuit Breaker MAIN Bypass Input Circuit Breaker BATTERY The SU-Series 3-Phase UPS is confi gured with 3-phase 20kVA power modules that can be paralleled for redundancy or capacity upgrades. Each KX- (Figure 1.3.1a), K- , and KTV-series (Figure 1.3.1b) UPS includes three key functions: 1) A central bypass static switch, which causes a critical load to automatically bypass any overload or fault conditions that occur.
Basic Operation (continued) 1.3 Operating Principles (continued) 1.3.3 Power Module Layout INPUT BATTERY The SU-Series 3-Phase UPS double-conversion power modules consist of three components (Figure 1.3.3a): 1) An AC/DC converter 2) An AC/DC inverter 3) A charger The power module’s 3-phase, 4-wire input runs A/C current through the AC/DC converter to generate regulative dual DC bus (±370Vdc). During backup mode, this current is provided by battery power.
Basic Operation (continued) 1.5 Operating Modes This section provides a basic description of the UPS system’s operating modes. For more information about switching between operating modes, refer to Section 1.6 – Start-Up, Shutdown and Bypass. 1.5.1 Online (Normal) Mode (Single UPS) In online (normal) mode, the UPS system’s rectifier converts incoming AC utility power to DC power that charges the batteries and supplies the inverter.
Basic Operation (continued) 1.5 Operating Modes (continued) 1.5.5 Online Mode (Parallel UPS) Parallel redundancy (1+1) provides UPS system redundancy or increased total capacity. Under parallel redundancy, the total load is shared by two UPS systems. If one of the UPS systems malfunctions, the total connected equipment load is supported by the remaining UPS system.
Basic Operation (continued) 1.5 Operating Modes (continued) 1.5.8 Manual Bypass Mode (Parallel UPS) Similar to manual bypass mode for a single UPS system (Section 1.5.4), except with parallel (1+1) UPS systems. Note: Both UPS systems must be switched into manual bypass mode. 1.5.9 Hot Standby Mode (Parallel UPS) For added fault-tolerance, the redundant UPS system acts as the bypass (reserve) power source for the main UPS system.
Basic Operation (continued) 1.6 Start-Up, Shutdown and Bypass Warning: The UPS system’s output voltage is set at 220/380V by default. If you require output voltage of 230/400V or 240/415V, you must change the UPS system’s output voltage by accessing the output setup menu described in Section 10-9 of the owner’s manual. You must place the UPS system in bypass mode before changing the output voltage.
