Rectifiers Paralleled On The Same Battery - GE 750 UL S2 User Manual

RECTIFIERS PARALLELED ON THE SAME BATTERY

NOTE !
A parallel system with a Common Battery for two or more Rectifiers, requires
a particular installation and adequate setting of some parameters,
(accessible only through password), and can therefore only be done by a
QUALIFIED SERVICE ENGINEER GE
Usually each Rectifier-Inverter Unit runs with its own Battery.
In case of parallel units are running with a Common Battery (max. 4 UPS - in SG Series 750 & SG Series
750 T12 we already have two rectifiers in parallel - see Fig 4.4-1), the sharing circuit between individual
Rectifier is integrated in the communication bus of the system in order to assure an equal sharing of the
Rectifiers output currents.

Pay attention to the following recommendations:
•
The units delivered for this functioning mode needs a special parameters setting, so they must be
prepared in advance before the installation.
•
The installation must be performed only with the UPS system completely shut down.
•
The AC Rectifiers input power (1) must be the same, with clockwise phase rotation for each unit.
•
Each Rectifier must be set for the same floating DC voltage and the same Battery current limitation.
•
It is recommended to install the fuses / MCCB (2) on each line connecting the Rectifiers to the
common Battery for maintenance / safety reasons.
•
In case one must be powered down for maintenance, switch-OFF the concerned unit before open
the DC fuses / MCCB on the Battery line (2).
•
It is recommended to connect an external NO free contact "Battery Fuses" to the UPS and to enable
the function by setting the parameter (see Section 4.1 of the "Installation Guide").
•
If an emergency generator set supply the UPS, and the free contact "Generator ON" is connected to
the Customer interface, connect a separate NO free contact on each parallel unit.
•
The parameters enabling the Battery test, both manual and automatic, must be set in the same
mode on all the units having the Rectifiers on Common Battery.
•
Do not connect the temperature sensor for automatic battery floating voltage compensation.
•
Do not enable the function Boost charge (parameter 87).
