1: General Description MINIpowerPLUS 5000 (Rack and Tower) cabinets Fully populated with 4 Power Modules to offer a 5.0kVA system. Batteries are housed within the UPS cabinets. MINIpowerPLUS 10000 Fully populated with 8 Power Modules to offer a 10kVA system. - Page 7 1: General Description Figure 1.4 MINIpowerPLUS block diagram A rapid, synchronised by-pass circuit is used to assist during overloads that exceed the inverter’s capacity – for example when certain peripherals that require a high start current are initially switched on.
- Page 8 A dedicated bypass configuration menu provides a means of customising the by-pass circuit operation to meet specific application demands. This feature provides many options such as: ‘automatic’, ‘disabled’, ‘by-pass in load waiting’ mode. © 2023 Kohler Uninterruptible Power 17/10/23...

3.2.1 MINIpowerPLUS Tower versions Cabinet positioning and accessibility The MINIpowerPLUS 5000/10000 UPS Tower cabinet is compact and mounted on wheeled castors so that it can be easily moved to its intended operating location. As shown in Figure 3.1 the UPS and battery cabinets require a minimum of 200 mm clearance at the rear and either side to permit adequate cooling airflow. -

MINIpowerPLUS Rack-mounted versions Rack positioning and accessibility The MINIpowerPLUS Rack-mounted UPS cabinet is designed to fit into a standard 19 inch rack and is 6U high. The cabinet is fitted through the front of the rack, supported on suitable rails and secured in position by means of two screws on each side of the front of the assembly. -
Page 15: Ups Installation Procedure
Connect the UPS cabinet to the battery cabinet In a MINIpowerPLUS 10000 system the UPS batteries are housed in a separate battery cabinet that is connected to the UPS cabinet by three cables. In a MINIpowerPLUS 5000 system a separate battery cabinet is an optional facility that is sometimes added to provide an extended autonomy time over and above that available from the standard internal batteries. - Page 16 UPS Cabinet Braided Earth Strap Battery Cabinet Figure 3.4 MINIpowerPLUS 10000 battery connections Connect the flexible braided earth strap (provided) between the chassis earth studs of both cabinets – the studs are located adjacent to the battery connectors. Connect all three battery cables between the battery connectors on both cabinets. The cable plugs are keyed to prevent incorrect polarity when making these connections.

Page 18: Connect The Ups Input/Output Power Cables
MINIpowerPLUS 5000 power cables A cable with a maximum capacity of 16A is supplied with the MINIpowerPLUS 5000. For applications where the anticipated UPS input current exceeds 13A (e.g. 5000 VA with Vin=184V) we recommend that the UPS input power cable is connected directly to the electrical distribution control panel. - Page 19 3: Installation MINIpowerPLUS 5000 power connector wiring CAUTION: Ensure the UPS input mains supply is isolated before proceeding. Never remove the 230V power plug whilst the UPS is in operation as this would disconnect the earth protection of both the UPS and of the connected loads.
