Growing Need For Power Growing Need For Power ProtectionProtection

Degradation Of Power QualityDegradation Of Power Quality Lack of investment in power infrastructure by

power utility companies.

Reduction in electrical network maintenance to reduce cost. This decreases the reliability of the power network

Growing Need For Power Growing Need For Power ProtectionProtection

Increasing Demand For Quality Power By Increasing Demand For Quality Power By The End UserThe End User

The use of microprocessor based equipment in day to day office business activities requires the continuous availability of quality power to avoid damage to critical equipment.

The use of microprocessor based equipment in manufacturing processes requires protection from outages to avoid unplanned & uncontrolled downtime.

Advantages of UPS PowerAdvantages of UPS Power

Protection Against Power Interruption Protection Against Power Interruption

The primary function of the UPS is to protect the downstream equipment from power fluctuations -

Sags or dips in voltage

Total absence of incoming voltage which can last milliseconds or minutes.

BATTERIES

Rectifier Rectifier Rectifiers performance is typically qualified as 6 or 12 pulse. This determines the type of current reflected into the mains supply. A 12 pulse produces less “harmonic” or non linear current into the mains supply.

PWM IGBT Inverter PWM IGBT Inverter PWM stands for “Pulse Width Modulation”. This is the “State of the Art” inverter switching technology used to recreate the AC waveform from the DC supply.

The power module used in the inverter bridge is called an Insulate Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT).

Battery Design Life (Sealed Lead Acid)Battery Design Life (Sealed Lead Acid)The battery quality is determined by the “Battery Design Life”. Lower rated UPS systems (< 10kVA) use 5 year design life batteries.

Larger UPS systems typically use 10 year design life batteries and in some cases up to 15 years design life.

AdvantagesAdvantages

Continuous Regulation Of Output Voltage & Frequency

The load is supplied with conditioned power at all times.

Higher Reliability

UPS internal components are in continuous operation. The internal components are not in stand by operation to support the critical load.

Higher reliability required and achieved due to duplication of all infrastructure to end equipment.

PurposePurpose

Facilitates transfer of output load UPS to an alternative supply source for UPS maintenance works or UPS replacement. Ensures no “LIVE” power is present on the UPS (OH&S).

Key FeaturesKey Features Make before break changeover facility

Interlock facility with UPS to inhibit transferring between two sources which are not synchronized.

Changeover switch can have 1-4 poles.

External Maintenance External Maintenance Bypass IntroductionBypass Introduction

Interlocking SystemsInterlocking Systems

Rotary Switches - Electro-mechanical via a solenoid or blocking relay which inhibits the rotation of the switch. A push button enables the switch to rotate and simultaneously transfers the UPS to static bypass

Mechanical Interlock which inhibits the rotation of the switch. A push button enables the switch to rotate and simultaneously transfers the UPS to static bypass during the transfer operation.

Circuit Breakers/ Switches - Mechanical inter-lock via two Fortress/Castell keys located in UPS output switchboard and a third key connected into UPS system transfer control. The changeover circuit breakers cannot be closed without the keys present.
