Chapter 4 Prerequisites for the UPS installation Chapter 4 Prerequisites for the UPS installation Attention! Before installing the UPS unit, check the Lenovo DCG support site at http://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/ for any relevant installation Tips! Search for either the UPS MT (5594) or the UPS serial number and press the magnifier icon on the far right hand side of the search bar.
Page 59 Chapter 4 Prerequisites for the UPS installation Required electrical earthing systems TN-S systems The term TN-S comes from the French Terre Neutre Séparé meaning earth neutral seperated. The earthing system shown in Figure 15 is called the TN-S system. Typical for a TN-S system is that the neutral conductor (N) and the earth or protective conductor (PE) are run as separate wires.
Page 60 Chapter 4 Prerequisites for the UPS installation In case of multi-line-fed power input it has to be ensured that NO MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS between N and PE system are implemented in the same power supply system, irrespective to whether the emergency power system is up and running or not. In this set up all N conductors are connected to each other and the N network is only once connected to the PE system.

Page 220 Chapter 12 Helpful information RCCBs in IT environments Residual current circuit breakers (RCCB), also known as Residual Current Device (RCD), Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB), Differential (Lock) Circuit Breaker, or GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter device). In many areas residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) are mandatory to be used as defined by local law, standards or technical connection terms and conditions as provided by the utility power company.
Page 221 Chapter 12 Helpful information Alternative Methods From the perspective of the IT system the optimal solution to this problem is to abstain from using either RCCBs or RCBOs / GFCIs for the power supplied to data centres or computer rooms. The standard wall sockets as they are very common in offices or house holds still have to be protected by an RCCB.
Page 222 Chapter 12 Helpful information Earth leakage considerations using an RCD This section examines one of the most common site issues with UPS systems, which is the tripping of the earth leakage protection, Residual Current Device (RCD) also known as an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Differential (Lock) Circuit Breaker.
Page 223 Chapter 12 Helpful information Most Common Problems When a customer calls with a problem with a tripping RCD, one should never assume that the UPS unit is faulty without doing the required troubleshooting. 1. The EN50091 permits a leakage of up to 3.5 mA per pluggable appliance. If there are 10 appliances connected with an average 3 mA per appliance, the RCD can still be tripping even without a faulty appliance.
Page 224 Chapter 12 Helpful information Recommended RCDs The following table shows what leak current ratings RCDs have to have with what UPS power rating. UPS Power rating in kVA RCD leak current Curve type ≤ 3 kVA 30 mA > 3 kVA to 11 kVA, hard wired Do not use an RCD Not applicable Attention! UPS units with a power rating greater than 3 kVA are not to be protected by an RCD.
Page 225 There have been on-going questions regarding the use of Residual current devices upstream from an Eaton UPS for applications.

Page 250 Chapter 12 Helpful information variations as part of its normal operation, thereby preserving battery life. Because it constantly rectifies AC to DC and then inverts the DC back to AC, the online UPS produces an output that corrects for voltage and frequency deviations. For this reason, double-conversion technology is the most common for critical load applications and the most advantageous type of system for generator integration.
Page 251 Chapter 12 Helpful information The UPS keeps transferring on line to on battery power Using non-linear loads with a smaller generator will result in the output waveform of the generator to be very distorted. This distortion will most likely result in the UPS product frequently transferring back and forth from On-Line to On-Battery.

Page 267 Chapter 12 Helpful information The only sure way to determine battery capacity is to perform a battery run-down test. The module is taken off line, connected to a load bank and operated at rated power until the specified runtime elapses or the unit shuts down due to low battery voltage. If battery capacity is less than 80 percent of its rated capacity, the battery should be replaced.
Page 268 Chapter 12 Helpful information Battery FAQ 1. What is the "end of useful life"? The IEEE defines "end of useful life" for a UPS battery as being the point when it can no longer supply 80 percent of its rated capacity in ampere-hours. When your battery reaches 80 percent of its rated capacity, the aging process accelerates and the battery should be replaced.
