4.2.3 Utility Failure Operation
Utility
is no longer within acceptable
tolerances, the
Battery
will provide the DC power to the
Inverter
.
Inverter
will maintain continuous AC power to the
Load
until the Battery Voltage
reaches the lower limit of
the
Inverter operation capability.
During the discharge, the LCD screen displays the
estimated time the
Battery can support the critical load.
Battery completely discharging, the "stop
" alarm (shut-
down imminent) warns the
operator that the
Battery
is almost discharged and the
UPS is about to shut-down.
Fig. 4.2.3-1 Block diagram Utility Failure operation
In case of RPA Parallel System
With a Parallel System for
Power Capacity (see Section 4.3)
With the Bypass Utility power available, a “Battery low” warning on any unit will cause the Load
transferred to Utility (after a selectable time delay).
With Bypass Utility power not available, a “Battery low” warning on any unit will start the “stop operation
timer (adjustable).
The Load will shut down at the end of the “stop operation” time period.
With a Parallel System for
Redundancy (RPA - see Section 4.3)
When
a Battery low warning occurs on a unit not necessary to support the present Load, this unit will shut
down after a timeout period (selectable).
The Load is shared between the other units.
As the warning occurs on one unit necessary to support the present Load, the system starts the "
operation" timeout (selectable).
The Load will shut down at the end of the “stop operation” time period.
4.2.4 Utility Recovery Operation
As soon as the AC input power recovers, the Rectifier will
start automatically
, supplying DC power to the Inverter
Battery.
Inverter was previously shut-
, the Load will be initially powered by Utility
h the Automatic Bypass.
Battery
is recharged enough to ensure a
minimum time of operation with the present load, the
Inverter
will start automatically and the Load
will be
transferred back to the Inverter.
Fig. 4.2.4-1 Block diagram Utility recovery operation
In case of RPA Parallel System
When the AC input power recovers,
the Rectifiers will start-up sequentially, according to their number in the
. This minimizes the initial inrush current.
Inverters will start-up automatically, but only when the Battery
has been sufficiently recharged for a
minimum runtime
with the present Load.
When enough Inverters to supply the
Load have been restarted, the Load
will be transferred from the Automatic
Bypa
ss back to the Inverter output.
