All product, product specifications and data are subject to change without notice to improve reliability, function, design or otherwise. Kohler Uninterruptible Power has taken every precaution to produce an accurate, complete and easy to understand specification document and will assume no responsibility nor liability for direct, indirect or accidental personal or material damage due to any misinterpretation of, or accidental errors, in this manual.
Powerwill assume no responsibility nor liability due to incorrect operation or manipulation of the UPS. WARNING: The Kohler PW 6000 (400-500kVA) is a Class A UPS product (according to EN 62040-3). In a domestic environment the UPS may cause radio interference. In such an environment the user may be required to undertake additional measures.
2.1.1 Reliability and quality standards The KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) UPS is available over a model range of 400kVA to 500kVA and incorporates the latest technological developments in power engineering. Representing a completely new generation of high power three phase UPS systems, its advanced double conversion VFI (Voltage and Frequency Independent) topology responds fully to both the highest availability and environmentally friendly requirements compliant with IEC 62040-3 (VFI-SS-111) standards.
The safety panel panels should be removed only by an Kohler Uninterruptible Powertrained engineer. The KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) UPS can be used as a single, stand-alone UPS module or up to ten modules can be configured to operate as a parallel UPS system. A multi-module system is designed to increase the UPS system’s output capacity and enhance the system’s reliability by providing module redundancy.
2: General Description UPS module functional description Figure 2.2 KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) UPS module block diagram 2.3.1 UPS module block diagram Figure 2.2 shows the major power blocks contained within the UPS system. UPS Input supplies (1), (2) The UPS is connected to two, 3-phase supplies, the ‘input mains supply’ and ‘bypass mains supply’. The input supply cables must be protected by an external isolation device (fuse/circuit breaker) to provide a means of disconnecting the mains supplies to the UPS.
The UPS batteries are either installed in a dedicated battery cabinet or on a purpose-designed battery rack. The battery installation is bespoke but it must include a fuse located near the battery source to enable the batteries to be disconnected from the UPS. A range of external battery cabinets is available from Kohler Uninterruptible Power on request. 2.3.2 UPS internal operating modes The following simplified block diagrams illustrate various UPS operating modes.
UPS system. The KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) can be operated in all three of the above categories. On-line operation When used as an ‘on-line’ UPS the KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) module is configured to normally operate in the ON INVERTER mode.
2.4.1 Parallel system concept The outputs from up to ten KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) UPS modules can be connected together to form a parallel UPS system – an example of a three module parallel system is shown in Figure 2.7.
Module Control Panel (standard LCD) The standard KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) module is controlled and monitored through an LCD-based module control panel located on the front of the cabinet. An alternative TFT touch screen, described in paragraph 2.6, is available.
If the UPS fails to conform to the above within the warranty period then Kohler Uninterruptible Power will, at its sole option, repair or replace the UPS. All repaired or replaced parts will remain the property of Kohler Uninterruptible Power...
This chapter contains essential information concerning the unpacking, positioning, installing and cabling of the KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) UPS. Key Point: If you are installing an external battery cabinet supplied by Kohler Uninterruptible Power you should refer to the manual that is provided with the cabinet for installation instructions.
The floor at the proposed installation site and en-route from the off-loading point must be able to safely support the weight of the UPS and battery equipment, plus fork lift or trolley jack during transit. The minimum clearances required around the UPS for cooling air flow and service access is shown in Kohler Uninterruptible Power A temperature of 20°C is necessary to achieve the optimum battery life span.
If the batteries are to be mounted on external battery racks, rather than in a cabinet, the battery cables must be sized to take into account the DC voltage drop between the battery installation and UPS. Contact Kohler Uninterruptible Power for installation advice and support if necessary.
Similarly, the UPS output should be connected to the load equipment via a suitably rated UPS output device. The battery installation requires fuses fitted in the battery positive, negative, and mid-point (neutral) feeds, as shown in Figure 3.5. Kohler Uninterruptible Power can supply a range of matching battery cabinets containing the necessary fuses and switchgear on request.
The switches may be installed in a dedicated external Maintenance Bypass switch cabinet or included in an existing (or dedicated) switchgear panel. Kohler Uninterruptible Power can supply a range of external maintenance bypass solutions to suit all of its UPS systems.
All the operations detailed in this section must be supervised by an authorised electrician. After the electrical installation is completed, the initial UPS start-up must be performed by qualified commissioning engineer authorised by Kohler Uninterruptible Power WARNING: Do not apply electrical power to the UPS before it has been commissioned and handed over.

19. This completes the module bottom entry power cabling. WARNING: The UPS must be commissioned by an Kohler Uninterruptible Power approved engineer. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE UPS BEFORE IT HAS BEEN FULLY COMMISSIONED.
IMPORTANT NOTE High voltage battery strings can be extremely dangerous and should not be installed by the customer’s installation team. The batteries must be installed and connected to the UPS by an Kohler Uninterruptible Power service engineer. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide appropriate containment for the DC power cables between the UPS cabinet and battery cabinet where necessary –...
Note: Use the above procedure in reverse order if it is necessary to convert the UPS from a dual feed to single feed input. WARNING: The UPS must be commissioned by an Kohler Uninterruptible Power approved engineer. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE UPS BEFORE IT HAS BEEN FULLY COMMISSIONED.
(JD8). This must be installed and configured by the commissioning engineer; however, depending on the modules’ positioning, it may be necessary for the customer to provide any necessary containment. Contact Kohler Uninterruptible Power for further installation advice if required. IDENT...
