THE SCIENCE OF CONTINUITY

The Company

AROS, a history of research and continuity.

Continuous operation is the key word for AROS. It is the company’s field of activity, a sophisticated technology upon which the efficiency of every electrical system depends. AROS has over 70 years of experience in this highly specialized sector and is currently a leading company in the field.

But continuity is also AROS

“trademark” as acknowledged by design and installation engineers: the will to strive constantly to achieve the highest production standards and to anticipate market demands. Thinking in this way brought AROS to set up the

Research and Development team of about forty persons to better respond to the market requirements. The result is that today whoever thinks about emergency power supplies thinks

AROS.

AROS was set up in 1935 and after just a few years established itself as the leading Italian manufacturer of voltage regulators, transformers and power supplies. In the fifties

AROS was the first company in

Italy to manufacture ballasts for fluorescent neon lamps and became the Italian leader in the field of components for lighting.

In the eighties it designed, developed and produced switching power supplies for

IBM computers. The company thus acquired know-how in

PWM (Pulse-Width- Modulation) technology that enabled it to enter the UPS sector. This is now the most important field of activity for AROS, which has maintained its leadership in voltage regulators and components.

Entering the Research and Development department is like entering the heart of AROS.

Here users’ real problems are "filtered" by means of the latest technologies and transformed into successful products.

Research

Highly trained personnel and state of the art technologies lie behind every project.

Entering the Research and

Development department means entering the heart of AROS. Here users’ real problems are “filtered” by means of the latest technologies and transformed into successful products. Environmental simulators, sophisticated analysis tools, CAD systems: super specialized devices for super specialized design engineers to predict tomorrow’s needs today, needs arising from developments in electronics and market trends. AROS dedicates its greatest resources to this team and has recently boosted the power area. This both consolidates the strength of its core business of

Uninterruptible Power Supplies

(UPS), components and voltage regulators, while mapping out its future course.

To understand the work carried out by the research team, just think of the technological

“nodes” that are hidden behind the apparent functional linearity of a UPS system. To provide a high level of efficiency, withstand strong line interference, interact with surrounding systems that may not be homogeneous, comply with complex international safety standards, minimize the level of interference emitted towards the mains and towards the environment and finally, offer a degree of reliability that is increasingly demanded by new electronic systems.

AROS products are intended for sophisticated devices

- delicate electronic systems needing protection - and sophisticated devices are required to design, develop and produce them.

AROS products are intended for sophisticated devices - delicate electronic systems needing protection - and sophisticated devices are required to design, develop and produce them. AROS

Research Centre is at the cutting edge when it comes to the synthesis and analysis of cooling systems through the use of software for thermal analysis based on computational fluid dynamics and infrared cameras. This is just one example of how AROS engineers and technicians use state of the art computer-aided technologies to make AROS solutions increasingly competitive, not only in terms of performance and respect for the environment, but also as regards reducing operational costs.

AROS uses thermal analysis to study how the cooling properties inside a device change by modifying parameters such as the size and footprint of heat dissipators, the type and position of the fans, deflectors and ventilation grids, and by eliminating the critical areas

(caused by the recirculation or stagnation of air at high temperatures within the UPS).

All this to achieve uniform ventilation, significantly increasing the safety and performance of the system while retaining its compact size.

Quality not only as an objective but also as an indispensable condition for every product: this is AROS.

Quality

Millions of users believe in AROS because AROS believes in excellence.

Quality not only as an objective but also as an indispensable condition for every product: this is the creed that AROS abides by and which is centred around the certification of its quality system. AROS is certified

UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 for the design and development, manufacture, sales and after-sales service of its products. This certification guarantees stringent and constant control of its corporate processes. The result is not just higher product quality and reliability but also a philosophy focused on understanding customers’ present and future requirements, complying with their requests and aiming to exceed their expectations.

With so much trade taking place across borders, conformity assessment has become an important component of the world economy.

Before they are put on the market, all AROS products are subjected to testing for conformance with specifications complying with ISO 9001:2000 standards.

For AROS, a product is not technologically complete unless it

“incorporates” a level of support that resolves users’ problems.

Service

The service rendered to customers every day makes AROS a partner.

For AROS, a product is not technologically complete unless it

“incorporates” a level of support that resolves users’ problems. High resolution capacity, low intervention times: this formula has been one of the keys to its success on the domestic and worldwide markets.

A formula that finds concrete application in services such as

PowerNetGuard, the remote support service that remotely manages and controls the UPS 24 hours a day. Choosing AROS means being able to connect online with the Control centre, being informed in real time on the status of the UPS and obtaining immediate action in emergencies. AROS combines this advanced service for its users with training activities for technical and commercial operators, on its own premises or at the customer’s site.

With a highly trained team,

UPService provides a reliable and technical support and aftersales service.

The purpose of our ATI personnel is to give advice on the relevant standards affecting AROS UPS, installations, batteries and applications.

Power problems

BLACKOUT,

VOLTAGE DISTURBANCES

Why an Uninterruptible Power Supply?

Data centres, servers, LAN nodes and telecommunication systems must always be protected against possible problems in the power supply. Sudden blackouts and variations in the mains supply may lead to system malfunctions and severe data losses. But even other electrical equipment can cause damage or inconvenience if there is a breakdown in the mains. Just think of the check-out systems in a supermarket, lighting systems and industrial production units, not to mention safety systems, pumping systems and automatic devices in general.

Blackout, voltage disturbances 45%

Other 55%

Power problems are caused by various sources such as distribution network faults, system switching, weather and environmental conditions, heavy equipment or simply just faulty maintenance.

The simplest and most effective way of coping with these disturbances is to install a UPS unit (UPS stands for Uninterruptible

Power Supply). Acting as an interface between the mains and the loads, the UPS guarantees the continuity and the quality of the electrical power supplied to the loads, whatever the condition of the mains may be. In fact these systems stabilise the voltage perfectly, eliminating all disturbances.

They even supply voltage when the mains fails, by means of a series of batteries which give a back up time that is generally sufficient to guarantee the safety of persons and of the system.

In order to decide which type of appliance is able to guarantee the best level of protection, you must know the types of mains problems that can disturb your systems.

CEI, CENELEC and IEC are the recognized standardization bodies respectively at national,

European and international level. Such standardization guarantees the compliance with CE Directives.

Technical Standards

Safety

EN 62040-1-1 is the reference standards regulating the basic safety requirements for UPS used in operator access areas.

EN 62040-1-2 is the reference standards regulating general and safety requirements for UPS used in restricted access locations.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

This is the capacity of equipment to work without being disturbed

(immunity) and without disturbing (emission) other equipment due to electromagnetic disturbances on electric wires and irradiated.

EN 50091-2 and IEC 62040-2 are the reference standards which also defines the testing procedures.

Performances

The reference document is the Performance Requirements

EN 62040-3. It is a guide for a better understanding between manufacturer and user since it defines which performance must be declared as well as the relevant testing methods.

All AROS UPS’s have been designed and built in accordance with all the above standards and therefore bear the mark.

Types of Uninterruptible Power Supply

(UPS)

On-Line Uninterruptible

Power Supply (VFI)

On this type of UPS, also known as a double conversion UPS, the inverter draws its power continuously from the rectifier (converter). The current is completely regenerated by its transformation from AC to DC and back to AC, guaranteeing a constant level of quality, regardless of disturbance on the mains power source.

By carrying out continuous double conversion, an On-Line UPS significantly attenuates electrical noise, which might otherwise damage a computer. When the AC input supply is not within the voltage and frequency tolerances, the battery is used to power the inverter. The inverter continually supplies the critical load with a true sinewave current.

If a converter/inverter failure occurs, the continuity of the load power can be improved by activating the bypass source using a transfer switch.

Types of Uninterruptible Power Supply

(UPS)

Line Interactive

Uninterruptible

Power Supply (VI)

On this type of UPS the inverter is connected in parallel to the AC input and also charges the battery (interactive operation in reversible mode).

When the AC input supply is not within strict amplitude and frequency tolerances, the load is powered by the inverter through the battery.

The normal inverter output waveform is a stepwave or squarewave.

This technique is rarely used for high power ratings as frequency regulation is not possible. Active Standby (or Line

Interactive) technology is a recent development made possible by the advent of microprocessors. The UPS is fully controlled by a microprocessor which monitors the quality of the mains power supply and reacts to any variations. In the event of a power problem, the UPS transfers the load to the batteries to supply stabilised power.

It is increasingly frequent to add a voltage compensation circuit, called a

“booster”, that is enabled in the event of prolonged voltage drops.

Passive Standby

Uninterruptible

Power Supply

(Off-line) (VFD)

This type of UPS, also called Off-line

UPS, is connected in parallel to the normal AC source. The current is filtered in order to attenuate the most frequent forms of disturbance. In the event of a power problem the UPS transfers the load to the batteries to supply stabilised power: the inverter only switches on when the mains fails or fluctuates outside the input voltage tolerances of the EMI filter or if it is fitted with

Automatic Voltage Stabiliser (AVS).

Evaluation parameters

Apparent power (in VA or kVA)

It is defined as:

P

APP

=V

X

I

for single-phase load

P

APP

= V x I x √

3

for three-phase loads where V is the load voltage supply and I is the current absorbed by the load in normal load conditions.

This information is normally shown on documents and/or load nameplates though it may be shown as an oversized value.

Active power (in W or kW)

It is defined as: kW = kVA x cos ϕ

(where cos ϕ means power factor PF).

The cos ϕ value of loads is very seldom indicated, therefore a correct

UPS sizing requires measurements of kVA absorbed by loads.

Experience, anyway, shows that typical loads of computer feature a

PF between 0,65 and 0,8.

Considerations on the misleading concept of

“computer power”

In the definition of the UPS rated power, the parameter values, defined as “computer power”, “switching power”, “actual power”, power a particular temperature value, etc. are sometimes indicated.

Such arbitrary parameter values have no relation with apparent power and active power; they can be neither quantified nor defined and therefore must not be used for the correct sizing of the UPS.

Crest Factor

A linear load absorbs a sinewave current that shows an effective value

(I

EFF usually measured and declared) and a peak value (I

PK

). The Crest

Factor value is defined as:

CF =

I

I

PK

EFF

The nominal value for a linear load is

CF = 1,41. Most loads applied to

UPS’s are non- linear load: they absorb distorted current with a CF value greater than 1,41 and require therefore higher peak currents thus resulting in an increased distortion of the output voltage than equivalent linear loads. Directive EN62040-3, indicates a typical non-linear load as

CF=3, used for UPS testing, which may be used in the absence of other data.

Overload

Overloads are temporary requests from electrical equipment which exceed regular operation absorption.

They are caused by current peaks which may occur when one or more users are switched on. In case the overload exceeds the admissible limits the UPS guarantees the energy supply via the automatic bypass line.

For “On line” UPS’s the transfer is effected without any break in power

(transfer time = 0 ms). The “bypass” is a safety device with independent protection and auxiliary supply able to supply the load independently from the UPS also when the UPS is switched off or broken.

Input current harmonics

The UPS battery charger rectifier absorbs a distorted current containing harmonics that are multiples to the reference 50Hz frequency. These harmonics may cause voltage distortion which may affect the normal operation of non privileged user’s.

The harmonics level of AROS UPS's complies with the present directive.

Howerver, in order to further reduce the presence of these harmonics variuos solutions are available such as the installation of Active Filetrs (Power

Factor Controlled) or different Rectifier designs.

Runtime

The batteries supplied with the UPS’s are valve regulated batteries (VRLA) known as sealed batteries with no electrolyte top-up, very low gas emission, suitable for installations in offices and public places with no need for special precautions. Batteries are normally supplied with the UPS and can either be installed in the same cabinet or in additional ones. AROS guarantees the power supply runtimes specifying the apparent load power and the power factor.

Remarks about the misleading concept of “typycal autonomy”

In defing the runtime it is often used the concept “typical autonomy (or runtime)” which has nothing to do with the real runtime based on the 100% load value expressed in W or kW (active power).

The runtime that AROS shows on all its documentation have been calculaterd at 100% of the load.

18

Power quality and mains disturbance

Electronic equipment functions properly as long as the utility is available and with high quality.

Unfortunately not always this is possible because most of the power quality events are caused by factors beyond the control of the Distribution

Company. These factors may occur either externally (in the network distribution system) or internally (in the facility when the system is located). External causes may be for example storm, lightning, high wind, tree limb contact, construction activities etc, while the internal causes may be switching of the machine, capacitor banks, fault or maintenance activities.

Depending on the events the power quality disturbances may vary in type, duration and intensity.

Typical power supply disturbances that cause major bad effects on your load are listen below.

Power outage

Power interruption for a time of more than 3s is called an outage or commonly “blackout”. This is normally caused by atmospheric accidents to the high voltage distribution network or a failure in the power supply equipment.

Undervoltage

It is a voltage reduction in amplitude for a time between 10 ms to 1 s.

expressed as a percentage from 10 and 100% of the rated voltage. This is caused for example by short circuits in the resident distribution systems or the large inrush current of the transformers.

Undervoltage

Consequences:

- Computer applications

Overheating of the electronic components with consequent operational breakdown.

- Industrial applications

Instability of asynchronous motors and loss of synchronization of synchronous motors, opening of contactors (voltage drop > 30%), power-off discharge lamps (voltage drop > 50% for 20-40 ms) with subsequent return of power after several minutes and consequent operational breakdown.

Overvoltages

Overvoltage is an increase in voltage for a time of more than 10 ms.

Overvoltages may be caused by the disconnection of major loads

(interruption in manufacturing processes of industrial companies, reduction in the speed of electric motors, arc furnaces, rolling mills, etc.) or natural events such as lightning.

Blackout

Consequences:

- Computer applications

Complete system shutdown with loss of data, possible hardware damage and long periods of employee inactivity.

- Industrial applications

Huge impact in the production activity with consequent production loss and/or unexpected safety consequence.

Consequences:

Faults in all electric/electronic equipment (100%<overvoltage<150%); e.g. damage to boards, power supplies, computers/servers, faults in lighting systems, etc.

Sag and Swell

Any short term voltage decrease

(sags) or increase (swell) for a time from half cycle to 3 seconds. It is normally caused by the equipment shutdown, circuit breaker operations, high peak current absorbed by the equipments, or short-circuit.

Consequences:

The major effects may be the loss of data or the lights flicker, very unpleasant for the people exposed to these effects.

Transients

Transients are rapid, very high overvoltages of up to 20 kV. They are caused mainly by lightning (which is random in its location, duration and amplitude) but also by faults on the high-voltage network, the switching of inductive loads or the powering of highly capacitive loads.

Consequences:

Transients destroy inadequately protected equipment (melting of wires, perforation of isolation in motors, badly-timed release of protection devices, etc.).

Flexus

The FLEXUS series is suitable for protecting information and telecommunications systems, information networks and critical systems in general, where the risks connected with a power supply of poor quality energy could put the continuity of activities and services at risk, entailing high costs.

Flexus series is available in 10-12-15-

20kVA three-phase or single-phase input and single-phase output models and 10-

12-15-20-30-40kVA three-phase input and output models with double conversion online technology according to the VFI-SS-111 classification, as defined by IEC EN 62040-3 standard.

Flexus has been designed and produced with state-of-the-art technologies and components, in order to guarantee maximum protection for the users powered, no impact on the supply mains and energy saving.

ZERO IMPACT SOURCE

Thanks to the technology used, Flexus can solve any problem of connection in installations where the supply mains has a limited installed power, where the UPS is also powered by a generator set or where there are problems of compatibility with loads that generate current harmonics; Flexus has indeed zero impact on the power supply source, be it the mains or a generator set:

• low distortion of input current – less than 3%

• input power factor 0.99

• power walk-in function that guarantees progressive start-up of the rectifier

• delayed switching-on function, to restart the rectifier igniters when the mains returns, in case of systems with various UPS

The Flexus also acts a filter and phaseshift mechanism in respect of the supply mains ahead of the UPS, since it removes the harmonic components and the reactive power generated by the users powered.

BATTERY CARE SYSTEM

Management of the batteries is fundamental to guaranteeing operation of the power supply unit under emergency conditions. The Battery Care System consists of a series of functions and performances that permit management of the storage batteries in such a way as to obtain the best performance and to extend battery life.

Battery recharge: Flexus is suitable for working with hermetically sealed (VRLA),

AGM and GEL lead batteries, and openvase and Nickel-Cadmium batteries.

According to the type of battery, various recharge methods are available.

• One-level recharge, typical for the most commonly used VRLA AGM batteries

Flexus can work in parallel up to 6 units to increase the power availability and the reliability. The single module or the parallel system can be expanded at any time to suit additional power requirements without influencing the initial investment. Thanks to the peculiarity of the “Hot System

Expansion” feature, the new UPS can be connected in parallel while the other units are on-line and supplying regular power to the load. When the UPS is connected it will be updated automatically from the other UPS on line.

To increase the flexibility of the Flexus system, on each unit a second input is available for a synchronization with the external source other than the bypass mains. The parallel configuration may be with single or common battery.

Sentry Multistandard

SUITABLE FOR

APPLICATIONS

SENTRY MULTISTANDARD provides maximum protection for critical data processing networks and security applications, thanks to its advanced design, selectable operating modes and communications capabilities. Operating modes include: On-line, Economy,

Smart-Active, Standby/Off and Voltage

Stabilisation. Standard communications features include a front panel LCD with

128 potential messages, RS232 interfaces, EPO input, communications interface slot and Watch&Save 3000 management software.

The SENTRY MULTISTANDARD series includes 10-15-20kVA single/singlephase, three/single-phase and 10-15-

20-30-40-60-80 kVA three-phase models, and uses on-line double conversion technology (VFI). The load is powered continuously by the inverter with a filtered, stabilised and regulated sinewave supply. The input and output filters considerably increase the immunity of the load to mains disturbances and surges, even on bypass.

LOW POWER CONSUMPTION

• On-line Mode: up to 92% efficiency can be achieved due to the use of

IGBT technology, increasing to 98% in one of the other operating modes

• Economy Mode: uses Line Interactive

(VI) technology to power less critical loads from the mains supply for certain periods

• Smart Active: if the mains supply is out of range, the UPS will power the load from the inverter as an On-line UPS.

When the mains supply returns to within range again, the UPS will monitor this for a certain period before selecting

Line Interactive operation.

• Option to connect the UPS to singlephase or three phase mains supplies

(SM series)

• Panel adjustment to offset voltage drop down long cable runs

MAXIMUM RELIABILITY

AND AVAILABILITY

• Connect up to 8 units in parallel for power capacity or redundancy

HIGH LEVEL BATTERY RELIABILITY

• Automatic battery test

• Recharge compensated for temperature

• Automatic or manual rapid charge

(boost) – duration progammable

MAINTENANCE SIMPLICITY = LOW

MTTR

For the 40 to 80 kVA models, open the door and remove the protective panel

(standards requirement) and the power components - mounted on a sliding tray

- can be pulled out to provide easy access to all the electrical and electronic components for maintenance and repair work. This particular feature means that the MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) is much lower than traditional UPS designs with less easily reached assemblies, which has longer times due to the compact size of the products and difficult access to the parts.

A large amount of maintenance information is available from the front mimic panel and LCD. In addition system operating parameters are software configurable via a local PC to allow new functions to be added or adjustments made to operating specifications.

61

SENSITIVE SUPPLY COMPATIBLE

For power supply sources that are particularly sensitive to harmonics

(generator sets or transformers of low power with respect to that of the UPS) it is often a good idea to take action to limit the harmonics injected back into the supply by the UPS.

SENTRY MULTISTANDARD series is also available with built-in active filter using high frequency Isolated Gate Bipolar

(IGBT) Technology with Digital Signal

Processor (DSP) control. The Active

Filter helps to reduce harmonics generated by the UPS into the supply which could disrupt the operation of downstream generators and transformers whose rating is closely matched to that of UPS.

• advanced technology

The active filter reduces harmonic distortion of the phase and neutral currents. The Digital Signal Processor

(DSP) and the “current mode” instantly control and monitor the input current to maintain a perfect sinewave with less than 4% harmonic distortion

• maximum efficiency

Thanks to the active filter Sentry

Multistandard systems have low input distortion even at low loads and their overall efficiency is not affected by generator frequency variations or line impedance

• reduction of neutral current

The active filter reduces the input neutrals current by up to 3.5 times their nominal rating to help avoid oversizing input protections and conductors

• maximum reliability

Sentry Multistandard systems are extremely reliable. Overall UPS performance is unaffected should the harmonic filter fail

• excellent capabilities

Input distortion: (THDi) less than 4%

Input power factor: >0.99

Efficiency: up to 93%

Sentry Multistandard can also be supplied without the Active Filter for installations less sensitive to current harmonics.


• Sentry Multistandard is able to supply loads with power factor from 0,8 capacitive to 0,8 inductive without derating the active power (KW)

• High level diagnostics: event log with

128 messages, states, measurements and alarms - available from the built-in

LCD in several languages

• Reduced noise levels: high frequency inverter bridge

• Back feed protection standard: to avoid energy feeding back into the mains supply (in compliance with CEI

11-20; DK5600)

• Power factor correction (input power factor, close to 1)

• By pass may be deactivated to allow operation as a frequency converter (at

50 or 60 Hz)

• Emergency operation: the UPS can be set to operate only when the mains fails (for emergency lighting)

EXPANDABILITY

The units can be connected in parallel up to 8 units to increase power availability or redundancy.

The single module or the system can be expanded any time to suit power requirements without influencing the initial investment.

Thanks to the peculiarity of the “Hot

System Expansion” feature, the additional unit can be connected in parallel while the other units are on-line and supplying regular power to the load. The new UPS is on-line and will be set up automatically.

DUAL BUS SYSTEM

The Dual Bus System powers the priority loads from two independent sources.

This configuration increases the redundancy and availability level of a multi-module configuration. Each bus may consist of a single module or up to

8 modules in parallel, kept in synchro by the UGS (UPS Group Synchroniser).

Fig. 2 - Dual bus System

DYNAMIC DUAL BUS SYSTEM

Two independent systems set in Dual

Bus Configuration can be merged together at any time for system expansion or maintenance thanks to the PSJ (Parallel System Joiner) option.

This provides a lot of flexibility in your installation in case of maintenance or when it is necessary to change the redundancy level of both systems.

Stabilisers

WHY USE STABILISERS?

Proper operation of most electric and electronic equipment depends to a large extent on the power supply voltage that must be kept as steady and as near to the nominal value as possible. In many installations, the mains power supply tends to fluctuate for a number of reasons. So devices that overcome and correct this problem are often used and the ideal solution is a stabiliser. AROS produces a full range of electromechanical and electronic stabilisers as well as electronic line conditioners.

ELECTROMECHANICAL STABILISERS

This type of stabiliser controls the voltage output by adding or removing

(by moving a brush converter) voltage so as to restore output to the nominal value. Advantages of using an electromechanical stabiliser are:

• High quality voltage

• Insensitive to the type of load or power factor

• Low weight/power ratio

• High stabilizing accuracy

• High reliability

• Wide range of power ratings for single-phase or three-phase voltages.

ELECTRONIC STABILISERS

The operating principle of an electronic stabiliser is based on the regulation of the voltage through self-transformer sockets selected and connected to the output via static switches.

Regulation is determined by a specific electronic control circuit.

Advantages of using an electronic stabiliser are:

• No harmonic distortion


• Low weight/power ratio

• High reliability

• High voltage regulation speed.

ELECTRONIC LINE CONDITIONERS

An electronic line conditioner combines an electronic stabiliser, an isolating transformer and high attenuation

EMI/RFI filters in a single unit.

It provides maximum protection for installations susceptible to voltage fluctuations, high frequency line noise and power surges. Advantages of the line conditioners are:

• Isolation between the line and the load

• No harmonic distortion


• High voltage regulation speed

• Protection against power surges

• Protection against line noise.

85

Voltronic 4 single-phase

The VOLTRONIC 4 single-phase electronic voltage stabiliser is able to adjust the output voltage within ±3% of the rated voltage.

The main features of the VOLTRONIC 4 electronic voltage stabilisers are:

• Microprocessor full control

• Compact size

• High regulation speed

• High efficiency

• Insensitivity to load variations and power factor.

A LED panel provides information on:

• Mains input voltage exceeding regulation limits

• Mains frequency exceeding limit

• Load level

• Overload

• Alarm for input overvoltage and/or overheating (the visual alarm is accompanied by an acoustic alarm).

RQ

The RQ stabilizers belong to the electromechanical series with electronic control. They provide a perfect constant single-phase output voltage completely independent from any variation of the input voltage within the accepted voltage range.

The stabilisation of the output voltage is not affected neither by eventual harmonic distortion present in the mains nor by the value and load power factor; the output power distortion is very low (<0,2%) and the total efficiency is very high. The installation of the RQ stabilizers is very flexible: their special shape makes it easy to install them near the equipment to power or inside it. They can be mounted on the wall or in a cabinet.

Tristab-Y

TRISTAB-Y series includes several voltage stabilizers of electromechanical type with electronic control from 5 to

300kVA. They provide a perfect threephase output voltage completely independent from any input voltage variation within the accepted voltage range.

The stabilisation of the output voltage is not affected neither by eventual harmonic distortion present in the mains nor by the value and load power factor; the output voltage distortion is very low (<0,2%); the total efficiency is very high. In the

"Y" version the stabilising effect is obtained independently on each phase.

This solution is therefore particularly useful with unbalanced three-phase loads or single-phase loads.

For proper operation, the presence of the neutral wire is necessary. There is the possibility of choosing between two input voltage ranges according to the nominal power required (see table).

The operator panel includes a digital voltmeter which provides information on the voltage of each phase and the linked voltages. All models (up to

60kVA) are provided with wheels for an easier positioning and handling.

IRMS (Intelligent Redundant Multi-Switch)

Multi-SWITCH improves electrical supply continuity. The principle of operation guarantees a higher reliability level than that achieved using a single UPS (on-line with automatic bypass) or several UPS in parallel.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The IRMS provides electrical distribution and remote management for up to eight network users, powered from two direct mains supplies or UPS or a combination of both.

The Multi-SWITCH can connect each user (up to eight, each with a maximum power demand not greater than 4A), to either of the two power sources (1 and 2). Load demand is shown on the LCD.

See “principle of operation” diagram.

PROTECTION AGAINST POWER

SUPPLY FAILURES

If one of the two power source fails or falls outside specification, IRMS will transfer the connected loads to the second power source

(switching is instantaneous even if the two sources are not in phase).

PROTECTION AGAINST LOAD FAULTS

If a fault occurs with one of the loads

(for example due to a shortcircuit or overload), IRMS will disconnect the load to prevent disruption to the others.

IRMS protects sensitive installations from both power and hardware faults.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Full protection against mains failures and load faults

• Flexible power sources: IRMS can be powered from 2 different sources (2 mains supplies, 2 UPS or a combination of both. Note than the UPS can be of a different size)

• Designed for installation in a 19” rack-mount cabinet

• LCD to provide measurements/alarms/states information

• Management software included

• Remote monitoring serial interface

• No signal connection is required between Multi-SWITCH and the power sources or supplied hardware

• Configuration software provided as standard

A FULL RANGE OF CSS UNITS,

FROM 700VA TO 200KVA.

The CSS range units are comprised of the following blocks:

Rectifier: converts the alternating voltage input from the mains power supply or from an alternative source (generator) into direct current voltage.

Inverter: converts the direct current voltage supplied by the rectifier into alternating voltage. In this way the voltage is reconstructed, filtered and stabilised with regard to the input voltage.

By-pass: this allows switching between the inverter and the mains power supply. In “always powered” operating mode the CSS load is always powered from the inverter and is only switched onto the mains via the by-pass circuit in the event of a failure. In “powered from the mains” mode, the load is powered and only switched onto the inverter when there is no power from the mains. In

“emergency only” mode the load is only powered from the inverter in the event of a mains power failure. To deal with the current surges required by the powered loads at switching-on time, a

Soft Start inverter has been implemented in order to limit the value of current required. In “always powered/emergency only” two outputs can be used: one always powered

(such as for powering computer loads) and one that is only powered when there is no power from the mains (such as for powering emergency lights that by law must switch on within a maximum time of 0.5 seconds from a mains failure).

Batteries: used to feed the inverter output for the legally required time of 3 hours (if there is no generator). The batteries used are generally valve-regulated, lead-acid type, and do not require maintenance or a special installation room as they have very low gas emissions.

Compliance with Legislation

The CSS configurations complies with the relevant European regulations (and national guidelines still in force in some countries) governing such applications.

Why an Uninterruptible Power Supply?

Power problems are caused by various sources such as distribution network faults, system switching, weather and environmental conditions, heavy equipment or simply just faulty maintenance.

CEI, CENELEC and IEC are the recognized standardization bodies respectively at national,

European and international level. Such standardization guarantees the compliance with CE Directives.
