High Performance

Input Performance

Robust Rectifier for Wide Input Range

The wide AC input voltage and frequency window avoids unnecessary battery discharge even when operating from an unstable AC source (i.e. diesel generator).

Programmable Soft Start

Allows the rectifier to ramp up in a programmable time period

(0-30 seconds) eliminating in-rush current. This feature reduces the need of oversizing the input power system (gensets, feeder cables and overcurrent devices).

Smart Input Filters, <5 % THDi

GE offers an optional internal input filter with the SG Series UPS.

The “smart” filter has a programmable feature that allows the filter to be switched off during start-up and low load conditions, preventing leading power factor (PF).

Generator Compatibility

User-programmable features such as slew rate, phase angle rateof-change and voltage rate-of-change allow the UPS to quickly sync to a genset during emergency back-up. GE’s optional input filter also has user-programmable features, ensuring quick and continuous synchronization to generator voltage.

Output Performance

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

A distorted output voltage waveform affects the proper function of the load’s equipment. The SG Series UPS has very low output voltage THD, even with connected 100% unbalanced or 100% non-linear loads.

Transient Response

With the use of SVM and the ZigZag transformer, the

SG Series UPS can react very quickly to zero-100% step loads (within 1/3 cycle). This reduces the need to oversize the UPS for severe pulse-load applications.

Overload Capabilities

The SG Series UPS has a robust inverter capable of delivering 150% overload for 60 seconds (225-300 kVA) and 30 seconds (400-750 kVA).

Phase Load Imbalance

The UPS Output ZigZag transformer, via its inherent characteristics and windings configuration, provides excellent voltage regulation against phase-to-neutral

(Ph-N) load imbalances.

Redundant Parallel Architecture

™

(RPA) System Configuration

GE provides RPA, a unique technology that can parallel UPS modules with true redundancy by eliminating any single point of failure.

RPA provides a scalable paralleling technique that reduces operating footprint and increases system reliability by eliminating the need for external paralleling equipment and cabinets (centralized bypass and master control).

One of the UPS modules in the system intelligently takes the leadership role, while the other UPS modules have access to all control parameters. If one UPS fails to operate, the load is automatically redistributed among the others. If the lead UPS fails to operate, then another UPS automatically takes on the leadership role. GE’s RPA technology is implemented by distributing the control electronics within each UPS module in the system.

RPA

™

System Advantages

No Single Points of Failure

The RPA system provides complete redundancy of all critical components, allows paralleling of up to 6 units for increased load capacity or redundancy.

Patented Bypass Reactor Design

Ensures excellent output voltage regulation between paralleled modules and assists bypass line conditioning

Scalable and Modular

The system can be easily expanded for higher capacity and redundancy without any interruption to the critical load or transfer to bypass.

Redundant Communication

Redundant high speed bus and control electronics provide higher system reliability.

Distributed Control Logic

Each module in an RPA system has its own operational controller.

Each one continuously communicates with all others in order to manage the entire system like a team.

Online Maintenance

N+1 configurations allow maintenance on any single module in the system while other modules provide online protection with battery backup.

Sequential Soft Start

Provides sequential soft start of each module to reduce instantaneous load on input feeders during mains recovery. This helps avoid over-rating of generator and overheating of cable and fuses.

RPA Cable Saver

UPS Module input and output cable length variation up to 10% between modules. With eBoost technology, this cable length flexibility is increased up to 25% between modules. This feature will save up to 20% in UPS installation costs.

Smaller Footprint

RPA eliminates the centralized control and external static bypass cabinet.

GE’s RPA

System

Inside Each UPS Module is:

• Bypass Reactor & Conditioning

• RPA Control/Communications

• 100% Rated Static Switch

Over 8,000 RPA UPS Systems installed globally!

(RPA) System Options

Intelligent Energy Management Integrated (IEMi)

IEMi is a software package which allows RPA systems to save energy and reduce operating costs ($) during low load conditions.

Individual inverters, which are not required to support the load, can automatically be switched off to save energy costs ($). The

IEMi mode can be programmed for various operating modes and the customer defines the degree of redundancy required.

Intelligent Sync Module (ISM)

For System + System (2N) applications, the ISM module is utilized to synchronize the outputs of two modules or two groups of UPS’s that are fed from separate and independent sources. This allows the two systems to be synchronized for down-stream switching. The ISM is an intelligent control that is mounted external from the UPS module.

It has the ability to select which system is the master and can also send/receive permissive signals from downstream devices.

Additionally, the ISM follows the same tradition as RPA, with redundancy in all critical components. The ISM communicates via redundant communication cables and has options for redundant power supplies and control circuitry.
