3.6 UNPACKING

The UPS and Battery Cabinets may be shipped packaged in carton boxes or in wooden crates (if requested).

Move the cabinets as close as possible to the final location before removing from the pallet.

If delivered in a wooden crate, remove the cabinet from the pallet with care, because of the heavy weight of the equipment.

White color = without any anomaly

Red color = anomaly evidence

Fig. 3.6-1 ShockWatch device

The package of the SG Series 400 & 500 is equipped with ShockWatch (indicator for shock), and TiltWatch (indicator for overthrow) on the outside.

These devices indicate an eventual shock or overthrow during transport.

Whenever these devices show a possible anomaly, the UPS shall not be commissioned before consulting a “Service Center”.

Fig. 3.6-2 TiltWatch device

NOTE !

Take care not to damage the UPS when moving by forklift.

A damaged UPS must never be installed or connected to Utility or Battery!

In case of any damage sustained during the transport, immediately inform the shipping agent!

A detailed report of the damage is necessary for any indemnity claim.

3.7 ELECTRICAL WIRING

WARNING !

UPS installation and connection must be performed by QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSONNEL ONLY.

It is the responsibility of the installation technician to ensure that all local and national electric codes are adhered to.

3.7.1 Utility input connection

NOTE !

Ensure that the AC and DC external isolators are OFF and locked out to prevent their inadvertent operation.

Do not apply power to the equipment prior to the commissioning by a QUALIFIED

SERVICE ENGINEER.

Before any other input connection, connect and check the grounding wire.

The UPS has available input terminations for the Rectifier and Bypass.

The unit may be powered from a common input source or dual input (option) sources if desired.

Common Input Rectifier & Bypass

The same power source is to be used for both Bypass Supply and Rectifier Input (input F3).

Bear in mind that when the Utility Fuses are opened there is a supply failure to the Rectifier as well as to the Bypass and Manual Bypass.

In this case, the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3 on the input terminals or bus bars MUST REMAIN CONNECTED. See Fig. 3.8.3-3.

Dual Input Configuration Rectifier & Bypass (option)

The Bypass and Rectifier inputs are to be powered from different Utility supplies (F1 and F2 inputs).

In this case, when the Rectifier Input Fuses are opened, the Bypass and the Manual Bypass are supplied by the other source.

In this case, REMOVE the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3 on the input terminals or bus bars. See Fig. 3.8.3-3.

3.7.2 Input/output over current protection and wire sizing

The cabling of the UPS system has to be sized according to the UPS power rating.

Sizing of circuit breakers, fuses and cables for Input Utility, Output Load and Battery must meet the requirements of local and national electrical codes.

Before connecting the UPS, verify that the Utility Voltage and Frequency, the Output Load Voltage and

Frequency and Battery Data (cells number, floating voltage, autonomy) are according to the required specifications.

Output load configuration may be such that one phase may carry a load current at 100% of that phases maximum current rating while the other two phases run at 0% or any combination in between.

Ensure that the load does not consist of any equipment that may require high starting currents such as electric motors, laser printers, etc.

This may cause the UPS to occasionally go into Bypass due to overload conditions

To choose the correct input fuses or circuit breaker, consider the available short-circuit current of the system up-stream.

Choose the correct fuse or breaker using current data shown in the chart and the appropriate NEC code.

The ratings indicated in the following chart do not consider any line voltage drop.

In case of optional input transformer the input protective devices should be sized to allow the transformer magnetization inrush current.

Caution when using four-pole circuit breakers as protection.

A potential problem exists for situations with non-linear loads:

The neutral current could be greater than the phase currents.

The three-phase Utility power supply must be symmetrical with respect to ground, due to the existence of voltage surge protection devices inside the UPS.

NOTE !

If you use ELCB breaker (Earth Limiting Circuit Breaker) to protect the input connections, consider the high leakage current generated by the noise suppression capacitors.

If these ELCB breakers are strictly necessary, we suggest using the largest type

suitable for non-linear current and for delayed operations.

To ensure coordination when the UPS is configured for Separate Bypass and Rectifier Inputs, special care must be taken in choosing the fuse or circuit breaker ratings installed in the output distribution circuits.

Protective devices on the output of the UPS should be coordinated with the Bypass Input circuit protection.

Due to the relatively low short circuit capability of the UPS inverter, a short circuit in the load will cause an immediate transfer to Bypass.

The largest fuse or circuit breaker in the output distribution should be rated at no more than 60% of the rating of the protective device supplying the Bypass line.

If circuit selectivity is required while the load is fed from the inverter (Bypass Utility not available), the largest fuse or circuit breaker should be rated at no more than 20% of the UPS output current rating.

3.7.3 Battery over current protection and wire sizing

NOTE !

Please read the safety precautions at the front of this guide carefully, and

thoroughly review the battery manufacturers installation and maintenance manual before connecting the batteries to the UPS.

The remote rack mounted batteries are to be used then DC over current

protection must be provided by others.

Choose an appropriate DC fuse or circuit breaker using the current data in the

chart below.

Minimum battery cable requirement is based on the current data below.

The maximum available fault current from the battery supply is: 20kA.

The minimum breaker voltage rating is 540V

The AC values below are current ratings per phase.

These maximum and nominal ratings should be considered when choosing the appropriate AC over current protection device.

NEC (National Electric Code) Section 210-20 a rules must be applied.

DC current rating is the nominal battery discharge current which the UPS allows.

To meet standards concerning electromagnetic compliance, the connection between the UPS and external Battery must be done by using a shielded cable or suitable shielded (steel) conduit!

External Battery Breaker Release

For connection or disconnection of the

Battery an external breaker CB with UVR is required.

The UVR of the external breaker must be connected to terminal XA (see Fig. 4.1.6-1).

The release signal will allow, after the

Rectifier soft-start, the manual closure of the breaker.

Fig. 3.8.4-2 External battery breaker connection

In either case, fuses or breaker, an auxiliary contact must signalize the closure of breaker or fuse holder to Input channel 1 of the P4 - Customer Interface (see Section 4.1).

Contact must be open with Battery disconnected (Normally Open).

3.8.5 Interface to External Bypass for single unit

If the UPS system is equipped with an External Maintenance Bypass Switch, connect the NO (normally

open) voltage free auxiliary contact from the External Bypass Switch to X4 - 1, 2 of P27 – IM0108 -

Interface for External Bypass inserted in the Connectivity Rack.

When this NO (Normally Open) contact closes, the Inverter Output Contactor K7 opens and the Load transfer to Inverter will be inhibited.

SG Series 400 & 500 has to be interfaced to the External Bypass

Auxiliary Contacts (NO) for safety reasons.

This will prevent contactor K7 from closing when the external

bypass breaker is on.

The connections shown in the

diagram are mandatory.

3.9 RPA PARALLEL SYSTEM CONNECTION

WARNING !

This operation must be performed by QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY before the initial start-up.

ENSURE THAT THE UPS INSTALLATION IS COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN.

3.9.1 Power wiring of parallel units

To guarantee good Load sharing between the units of a Parallel System, we recommend that the cable length from the input distribution board (5) to the output distribution board (9) is equal for each unit (a+b

= c+d = e+f = g+h = i+l = m+n). Tolerance: +/- 10%.

The RPA Cable Saver option introduces a bypass inductor in every UPS module, minimizing the influence of external conductor length on bypass current sharing.

The RPA Cable Saver option extends the cable length tolerance to +/-50% for runs not exceeding 160

feet (49m).

The AC input power of the Bypass must be the same for all units of the parallel system - no phase shift allowed between units.

NOTE !

It is strongly recommended that no transformers, automatic circuit breakers or fuses be inserted between the unit’s output and the Load common bus bars.

However, it is recommended that a disconnection or isolation switch be installed in order to totally isolate a unit if needed.

Verify that power wiring and control wiring are run in separate conduits or cable trays.

UPS input cables must be run in separate conduits from the output cables.

3.9.2 Parallel control bus connection

In cases of parallel operation, the communication between the units takes place through the control

bus cables.

Each parallel unit is equipped with an additional board “P13 RPA Board where the connectors J52 (A) and J62 (B) are located.

A short control cable provided with a ferrite ring core links the parallel board “P13 – RPA Board with the parallel bus socket on which must be connected the control bus cables JA and JB on PCB P34 – Bus

Interface.

All the parallel units are connected to the same control bus.

This connection allows:

The microprocessors of each unit to communicate with each other.

The oscillators of each unit to be locked together.

The regulation loops to compare the output current of each unit in order to equally share the load current.

For increased reliability, this connection is made with redundant cables.

In this way, communication is maintained between units in case one of the control cables should fail or be accidentally damaged or disconnected.

The standard length of the control bus cable between two parallel unit is 40 ft / 12 m.

Maximal overall length of bus connection, between the first and the last unit, should not be longer than

276 ft / 84 m.

Verify that control wiring is run in individual separate steel conduit.

NOTE !

Under no circumstance should the control bus cable connecting JA (1/2/3/4/5) and

JB (1/2/3/4/5) be connected or disconnected after the system has been powered On.

If an emergency generator set supplies the UPS in case of Mains Failure and the generator is considerably unstable in frequency, it should be suitable to install the signal Generator ON on X1 / 11,

22 or J2 / 11, 24). See Fig. 4.1-1 / X1 and J2.

Since the Parameter for of the reading of the Generator function is password protected, call the nearest

Service Center for it's activation.

When this contact closes, it changes certain (programmable) functions such as:

• Enabling or disabling of synchronization and consequently the Load transfer to generator.

• Reduction or elimination or delay of Battery recharging during the generator operation.

Additionally, when the Generator ON input contact is closed, the UPS will inhibit eBoost™ Operation

Mode and revert to double-conversion operation.

In a parallel system a separate NO (Normally Open) contact must be connected to each individual unit.

4.1.5 AUX external Maintenance Bypass

If the UPS system is equipped with an external Maintenance Bypass Switch, it is possible to connect a

NO (Normally Open) voltage-free aux. contact from the External Bypass Switch to the programmable input X1 / 10, 21 or J2 / 10, 23, making the UPS operate as if the internal switch Q2 has closed.

This function can be activated by changing a dedicated parameter (password required).

When this NO (Normally Open) contact closes, the output Inverter Contactor K7 it is automatically opened and the Load transfer back to Inverter will be inhibited.

In a parallel system, the input on the customer interface of each unit must be connected to a separate AUX contact of the External Maintenance Bypass Switch.
