SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Dos
Read this manual carefully before operating the UPS. Review the safety precautions described below to avoid damaging users or equipment. Install the UPS in a clean and well-ventilated location. Leave at least 20 cm of clearance space between the ventilation holes of the UPS and other objects or walls. The UPS must be well grounded to the buildings grounding system with a conductor that has a current carrying capacity that matches the rating of the UPS. If the unit contains an external battery cabinet, periodically check the grounding connection between the external cabinet and the main UPS cabinet. (The batterys cabinet body must be connected with the grounding screw located on the electronic cabinet or directly to the grounding circuit.) Use the UPS only for its intended purpose. Allow only qualified technicians to service the UPS. There are no user-serviceable components. Do not attempt to repair it yourself!

WARNING
Appropriate precautions should be taken during inspection and servicing; there is a risk of lethal electric shock. The battery cabinet contains 12-Volt batteries that provide high voltage even when the UPS is not connected to the mains.

1.2

Donts

Do not open the cover under any circumstances. Do not insert any objects through the ventilation holes. Do not put objects on the UPS. Do not move the UPS while it is operating. Do not turn the UPS upside down during transportation. Do not connect or disconnect the cable to the battery cabinet before the battery circuit breaker is turned off Do not turn on the battery circuit breaker when the battery cabinet is disconnected from the UPS.

GENERAL FEATURES

The PS Series 3/1 Phase Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) employs Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and is controlled by a high performance RISC 1 micro-controller, to provide reliable, sophisticated protection for every type of line fluctuation, including interruption of the ac input .

Figure 1: Block diagram of the UPS's major components

Note: Maintenance bypass is available in models 20K and higher, or at customer request.
In the event of a power failure, the UPS provides backup power for a specific period of time. The system is user friendly. Its operation is simple and requires no previous technical knowledge. The UPS operates on-line and once activated, provides voltages of 3 380, 3 400, or 3 440 V at a stabilized 50 or 60 Hz frequencydepending upon your configurationto any practical load. When backup service is provided (when the ac power mains fail), the UPS is powered by batteries and maintains a constant output voltage supply. The system informs the operator, by means of LED indicators and audible signals, when a power failure occurs. The UPS is equipped with a Static Switch that enables the load(s) device(s) to continue normal operation when the inverter is unable to supply exceptionally heavy loads, such as during power surges, or in case of inverter failure, for any reason. An LCD display on the UPS front panel provides real time, current operational status of the UPS, providing the user with complete up-to-date information. Similar status information may be viewed on a computer monitor via an RS232 communications port. The system can also be connected to the service center via a modem and a telephone line, or to a computer network via an SNMP/WEB agent. The unit consists of two major subsystems:

Reduced Instruction Set Computing General Features PS-SP Series, 3-1 phase, 10 to 60 kVA (with parallel option)

Gamatronic Electronic Industries Ltd.

User Guide

Electronic Cabinet that contains all electronic components: charger, inverter, static switch, microprocessor board, panel, etc. Battery Cabinets that contain batteries and circuit breaker.

The unit can operate in parallel with similar Gamatronic UPS units. In this case, the load is shared between the units. The parallel UPS system is the most reliable energy source for any critical load. If the system uses N+1 UPS units (the redundant parallel system), the output voltage is not interrupted even if one of units is faulty. If the parallel system is equipped with a Gamatronic Static Switch unit, the output voltage is not interrupted even if more than one UPS unit is faulty. The Gamatronic parallel UPS system contains the following features: Each UPS is equipped with its own battery set Each UPS can be equipped with an optional output choke

2.1

Parallel Operation

The PS Series 3/1 Phase UPS can accommodate parallel operation with either of two options, centralized or decentralized. With a decentralized parallel system, each UPS has its own static switch in which case two systems can be connected in parallel, to provide full redundancy. With a centralized parallel system, the static switch is external instead of inside each UPS. In this configuration, two to ten UPS units may be connected in parallel.

2.2

Major Subsystems

The device consists of the following modules:

2.2.1

Charger

The charger supplies a stabilized dc voltage to the device at 432 V 2 V.

2.2.2

Batteries

The batteries are always connected to the charger output and they supply voltage to the inverter during power failures. During normal operation, the batteries are in standby mode. Batteries are housed in separate battery cabinets.

2.2.3

Inverter

The inverter receives a dc voltage from the charger or batteries and supplies a regulated, frequency-stabilized, ac voltage (power). The inverter incorporates an IGBT transistorized bridge, driver, (PC968 board), an L-C filter circuit, isolated output transformer circuit, current transformer, PC906 board, and a PC801 control board.

2.2.4

Static Switch

In case the inverter can't supply the load with the correct voltage (i.e. because of overload, inrush current on connecting the load, inverter malfunction, etc.), the ST.SW/Bypass automatically transfers the load from the inverter to the mains without voltage interruption or disturbance. When the UPS is in BYPASS mode, the load draws power directly from the mains, bypassing the inverter. The ST.SW automatically switches the load back to the inverter when inverter's output voltage returns to normal. The inverter is synchronized with the mains in both frequency and phase to ensure correct operation of the static switch. The static switch includes PC690/PC920 boards and RA101 RA103 contactors.

2.2.5

Control System

The control system performs the following functions: Tests input, bypass, inverter, battery voltage, output current, input/output signal frequency, and temperature. Controls the inverter and the bypass contactorRA101and manages the static switch and charger voltage during battery tests. Controls the ALARM interface. Reads the panel keyboard and sends messages to the front panel LCD display. Communicates with devices via the RS232 interface.

The control system includes the PC801 control board, PC074/PC075 panel board, PC873 power supply, current, and temperature sensors. Measured voltages and currents are connected to the control board via the PC800 interface board.

2.3

Control Panel

The UPS is equipped with one of three models of control panels (PC074, PC075, or PC085). The control panel includes an LCD display screen and a touch pad control panel that enables the user to effectively manage the UPS. Once the UPS is installed, the control panel serves as the users primary interface with the system. Messages, warnings and error conditions are relayed to the user through the control panels LCD display and through audible alarms. See Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4 below.

Connections

For 60 kVA: All connectionsconnection panel, input, output, and ST. Switchesare located on the lower front of the UPS, behind the front door. For 10-50 kVA: Switches and terminals are located on the UPS rear panel.

2.13

Parallel Operation (Option)

Each UPS can optionally operate in parallel with similar units as part of a modular UPS system. Up to ten units can be connected in parallel. Special technical solutions are used to synchronize all the units of the system, to prevent circulation of energy between the UPS units and to isolate the faulty unit from the common power bus. In addition, an active current sharing circuit changes the output voltage of each UPS to provide proportional load sharing between the units. One of the system's units takes on the function of Master. This unit is synchronized to the mains power. The other units are Slaves and follow the Master. The function of Master is not dedicated to one of the units. Any normally functioning UPS can be the Master.

2.13.1

Centralized vs. Decentralized Static Switch

The UPS employs a Static Switch for functional override. In parallel mode there are two possible options of Static Switch operation, centralized and decentralized. In decentralized mode each UPS includes its own Static Switch which works independently. However, if one UPS were to fail, the Static Switch would instantly be triggered and supply the load directly from the mains. Two or more units would then be connected in parallel. This would connect the inverter of the other UPS directly to the mains which could potentially damage the other UPS. To avoid such a hazard in decentralized mode, the Static Switches are synchronized using a special Gamatronic-supplied cable. Figure 6 on page 9 shows a cabling diagram for parallel decentralized operation of multiple UPSs. For additional security, a second option is available as a centralized Static Switch. As illustrated in Figure 5 on page 8, in centralized parallel operation there is only one Static Switch (in a separate housing) for the entire system. Local static switches are inhibited. This method significantly increases system reliability, because the output voltage is constant even if both UPSs are disconnected. Up to ten units can be connected in parallel.

2.13.2

Decentralized Parallel Mode of Operation

The PS SP UPS uses a simple master/slave hierarchy, where one unit at any given time is designated as the Master UPS and the remaining parallel units are considered Slave UPSs. The Master unit synchronizes its output voltage with the bypass phase and frequency, and transmits the phase and frequency information to the Slave UPSs, which synchronize themselves accordingly. When the Master UPS fails, the next UPS in line becomes the Master, and is now responsible for transmitting phase and frequency information to the Slave UPSs.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In the event of a problematic condition, the Alarm LED lights, a warning beep sounds, and one of the following emergency messages appears on the LCD:
MESSAGE BATTERY LOW STATE Battery is low Input voltage too low. INPUT FAULT Input voltage too high. No input voltage Bypass voltage too low. B/P FAULT Bypass voltage too high. No bypass voltage OVERLOAD Overload The unit goes to bypass and stays that way as long as there is an overload. The load transfers from bypass to inverter when the load is corrected. Make up to 7 attempts to reconnect to the inverter. Over 90 paralyzes the inverters action and transfers the load to bypass. It returns automatically to normal operation only after the temperature goes below 55. Check the status of the battery switch and the connections to the batteries. A slow beep indicates that the battery is starting to discharge. A fast beep and a TEST BATT light indicates that the battery has almost finished discharging. The system continues to operate, but the inverter output is now synchronized with an internally generated frequency. When the bypass frequency returns to normal limits the inverter will automatically resynchronize with the bypass frequency. Call service technician Call service technician Corrects itself automatically when the bypass voltage stabilizes or returns. COMMENTS If the battery was recently ischarged due to an ac mains failure, it may still be recharging. If the battery was not recently discharged, it may require replacement. Corrects itself automatically when the input voltage stabilizes or returns.

SITE PREPARATION
Electrical codes may vary according to location. Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes for acceptable external wiring practices.

7.1

Installation Considerations

The UPS is designed to operate under varied environmental conditions. To ensure long-term trouble-free operation, note of the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. Select a well ventilated and dust-free site that is conveniently located to both the electrical closet and the desired load. Verify that there is a minimum of 20 cm clearance space around the UPS. Verify that the air vents are not obstructed. Make sure that the room temperature does not exceed 40C. Both UPS operation and battery charging generate heat. Battery life can be extended by ensuring a cool operating site. Place electrical equipment (load, computer monitor, etc.) at least 1 meter from the UPS. Use the shortest possible output distribution cable runs at the installation site, consistent with logical equipment arrangements and in compliance with NEC and local electrical codes. Allow space for future equipment additions. The recommended ambient temperature for operation is 20-30C (68-86 F). Humidity must be less than 95% non-condensing. In altitudes above 2000 m. (6560 ft), the UPS rating will be reduced. The route and foundation to the installation site must be capable of supporting the weight of cabinets and moving equipment. Plan the route to ensure that the unit will pass through all elevators, corners, and doorways to prevent damage. Refer to Table 9 on page 50 for specific information about cabinet size and weight. Heat output of UPS equipment is significant. Make sure that environmental conditioning systems can accommodate this heat load, even during utility outages.
