Congratulations on your purchase of a Powerware 9315 uninterruptible power supply ® (UPS)! The Powerware 9315 online power protection can be used to prevent loss of valuable electronic information, minimize equipment downtime, and/or minimize the adverse effect on equipment production due to unexpected power problems.
Introduction 1.2 For More Information Refer to the Powerware 9315 (300–500 kVA) UPS Installation Manual for the following additional information: How to prepare your site and plan for installation Detailed step-by-step procedures for installing each component of your system Detailed illustrations of cabinets and optional accessories, including dimensions and connection points.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame. Keep the UPS doors closed to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect personnel from dangerous voltages inside the unit. 9315 UPS (300–500 kVA) Operation Manual S 164201119 Rev F www.powerware.com 2−1 EATON Powerware ®...
UPS switches, controls, or optional components. 2.3 Looking Inside the UPS The Powerware 9315 is a continuous duty, solid-state UPS that supports the following equipment: process control, data processing, telecommunications/PBX, research, and medical. The Powerware 9315 maintains power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency conditions.
The operation of the UPS system is described in greater detail in Chapter 3, Understanding UPS Operation." Chapter 10, Product Specifications," outlines the storage and operating specifications for the UPS and optional battery. 9315 UPS (300–500 kVA) Operation Manual S 164201119 Rev F www.powerware.com 2−3 EATON Powerware ®...
The filter also reduces input harmonic current distortion and minimizes upstream interference that can damage sensitive hardware components. 9315 UPS (300–500 kVA) Operation Manual S 164201119 Rev F www.powerware.com 2−4 EATON Powerware ®...
Several battery capacities are available. The UPS battery cabinets can be paralleled; you can increase your battery backup time by adding battery cabinets to your UPS system. The Powerware 9315 can support up to four battery cabinets. 2.5.2 External Battery Disconnect An optional DC circuit breaker, enclosed in a wall-mounted box adjacent to the UPS, provides a manual means of disconnecting a battery that is located remotely from the UPS.
An optional modem is available for use with the UPS Remote Notification feature described in Chapter 8, Remote Notification." Refer to the manual supplied with the modem for operating instructions. 9315 UPS (300–500 kVA) Operation Manual S 164201119 Rev F www.powerware.com 2−6 EATON Powerware ®...
