2.3	
COMPONENTS
2.3.1	Rectifier/Charger
The term rectifier/charger shall denote a 12-pulse solid-state bridge with equipment and controls necessary to convert AC to regulated DC for input to the inverter and for charging the battery.
The rectifier must have a three winding transformer providing full galvanic isolation between the Utility and the DC-bus/Battery.
A.	Input Current Harmonic Distortion
Input current THD shall be less than 5% at full load input current. 
B.	AC Input Current Limiting
The rectifier/charger shall include a circuit to limit AC input current to an adjustable level of 25% to 125% of the full input current rating. A second circuit shall provide an additional selection (25% to 125%) when signaled by an external contact (i.e., operation of generator). AC input current limit is to be factory set at 125% for normal operation and 100% for generator operation.
C.	Battery Charge Current Limiting
The rectifier/charger shall include a circuit to limit battery charging current to an adjustable level of 0% to 20% of maximum battery discharge current. A second circuit shall provide an additional selection (0% to 20%) when signaled by an external contact (i.e., operation of generator). Battery charge current limit is to be factory set at 10% for normal operation and 0% for generator operation.
D.	Input Current Walk-In
The rectifier/charger shall provide a feature that limits the total initial power requirement at the input terminals to 0% of rated load and gradually increases power to 100% of full rating over the 30-second (adjustable) time interval. This walk-in shall be graphically displayed on the front of the unit during startup. 
E.	Input Circuit Breaker
The rectifier/charger shall have an input circuit breaker. The circuit breaker shall be of the frame size and trip rating to supply full rated load and recharge the battery at the same time. The circuit breaker shall have an undervoltage release to open automatically if the control voltage is lost.
F.	Fuse Protection
Each AC phase shall be individually fused with fast-acting fuses so that loss of any semiconductor shall not cause cascading failures. Fuses shall be bolted to busbars at both ends to ensure mechanical and electrical integrity. The display panel on the front of the unit shall indicate a blown fuse occurring on any phase of the rectifier.
G.	DC Filter
The rectifier/charger shall have an output filter to minimize ripple current into the battery. The AC ripple voltage of the rectifier DC output shall not exceed 1% RMS of the float voltage. The filter shall be adequate to ensure that the DC output of the rectifier/charger will meet the input requirements of the inverter without the battery connected.
H.	Battery Recharge
In addition to supplying power for the load, the rectifier/charger shall be capable of producing battery charging current sufficient to replace 95% of the battery discharge power within ten (10) times the discharge time. After the battery is recharged, the rectifier/charger shall maintain the battery at full charge until the next emergency operation.
I.	Battery Equalize Charge
A manually initiated equalize charge feature shall be provided to apply an equalize voltage to the battery. The duration of equalize charge time shall be adjustable from 0 to 200 hours. 
J.	
Overvoltage Protection
There shall be DC overvoltage protection so that if the DC voltage rises to the pre-set limit, the UPS shall shut down automatically and initiate an uninterrupted load transfer to bypass.
K.	Temperature-Compensated Charging
The UPS shall adjust the battery charging voltage based on the battery temperature reported from external battery temperature sensors. Temperature sensors shall be monitored for faulty measurements and ignored if a fault is detected to prevent over or under changing the battery. When multiple sensors are used the voltage shall be based on the average temperature measured. Excessive difference in the temperature measurements shall be reported and the charging voltage adjusted to protect the batteries from excessive current. 
L.	Battery Load Testing 
The UPS shall be capable of performing battery load testing under operator supervision. To accomplish this, the rectifier/charger will reduce charging voltage to force the batteries to carry the load for a short period of time. If the curve of battery voltage drop indicates diminished battery capacity, the UPS will display an alarm message. If the voltage drop indicates battery failure, the UPS will terminate the test immediately and annunciate the appropriate alarms. 
2.3.2	
Inverter
The term inverter shall denote the equipment and controls to convert DC from the rectifier/charger or battery to precise AC to power the load. The inverter shall be solid-state, capable of providing rated output power, and for increased performance the inverter shall be a pulse-width-modulated design and utilize insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). To further enhance reliable performance, the inverter shall not require an inverter output series static switch/isolator for the purposes of overload or fault isolation or transfers to bypass.
A.	Overload Capability
The inverter shall be able to sustain an overload across its output terminals up to 150% with ±2% output voltage regulation. The inverter shall be capable of at least 200% current for short circuit conditions. If the short circuit is sustained, the load shall be transferred to the bypass source and the inverter shall disconnect automatically from the critical load bus.
B.	Output Frequency
The inverter shall track the bypass continuously providing the bypass source maintains a frequency of 60Hz ±0.1Hz. The inverter will change its frequency (slew rate) at 0.1Hz per second (adjustable 0.1 to 3.0Hz per second) to maintain synchronous operation with the bypass. This shall allow make-before-break manual or automatic transfers. If the bypass fails to maintain proper frequency, the inverter shall revert to an internal oscillator which shall be temperature compensated and hold the inverter output frequency to 0.1% from the rated frequency for steady-state and transient conditions. Drift shall not exceed 0.1% during any 24-hour period. Total frequency deviation, including short time fluctuations and drift, shall not exceed 0.1% from the rated frequency.
C.	Phase-to-Phase Balance
The inverter shall provide a phase-to-phase voltage displacement of no worse than ±1% with an unbalanced load and up to 125% of the system output rating.
D.	Fault Sensing and Isolation
Fault sensing shall be provided to isolate a malfunctioning inverter from the critical load bus to prevent disturbance of the critical load voltage beyond the specified limits.
E.	Output Circuit Breaker
The inverter shall be provided with a molded case circuit breaker to isolate the inverter from the critical load bus. This circuit breaker shall be of the correct frame size and trip rating to supply full rated load and overload current as specified elsewhere in this document.
F.	Battery Protection
The inverter shall be provided with monitoring and control circuits to protect the battery system from damage due to excessive discharge. Inverter shutdown shall be initiated when the battery voltage has reached the end of discharge voltage. The battery end-of-discharge voltage shall be calculated and automatically adjusted for partial load conditions to allow extended operation without damaging the battery. Automatic shutdown based on discharge time is not acceptable.
2.3.3	
Inverter Bypass Operation
For times when maintenance is required or the inverter can not maintain voltage to the load due to sustained overload or malfunction, a bypass circuit shall be provided to isolate the inverter output from the load and provide a path for power directly from an alternate AC (bypass) source. The UPS control system shall constantly monitor the availability of the inverter bypass circuit to perform a transfer. The inverter bypass circuit shall consist of a bypass static switch and a circuit breaker to isolate the inverter. The bypass static switch shall denote the solid-state device, consisting of two reverse-paralleled SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers) per phase conductor, that can automatically and instantaneously connect the alternate AC source to the load.
A.	Manual Load Transfers
A manual load transfer between the inverter output and the alternate AC source shall be initiated from the control panel. Manually initiated transfers shall be make-before-break utilizing the inverter and the bypass static switch.
B.	Automatic Load Transfers
An automatic load transfer between the inverter output and the alternate AC source shall be initiated if an overload condition is sustained for a time period in excess of the inverter output capability or due to a malfunction that would affect the output voltage. Transfers caused by overloads only shall initiate an automatic retransfer of the load back to the inverter only after the load has returned to a level within the rating of the inverter source. The UPS system logic shall allow up to 5 retransfers (adjustable) within any one-hour period to prevent cyclical transfers caused by overloads.
C.	Momentary Overloads
In the event of a load current inrush or branch load circuit fault in excess of the inverters total rating, the bypass static switches shall connect the alternate AC source to the load for at least 200 milliseconds allowing up to 1000% of the normal rated output current to flow. Output voltage shall be sustained to the extent the alternate AC source capacity permits. If the overload condition is removed prior to the end of the 200-millisecond time period, the bypass static switches will turn off and the load shall remain on inverter power. If the overload remains, then a transfer to the alternate AC source is to be completed.
D.	Backfeed Protection
As required by UL1778 and CSA, the static transfer switch shall not backfeed UPS power to the bypass distribution system while the UPS is operating on battery during a bypass power outage. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent the risk of electrical shock on the distribution system when the normal source of power is disconnected or has failed. If a shorted SCR is detected, the static transfer switch shall be isolated by an internal automatic circuit breaker and an alarm message shall be annunciated at the UPS control panel. The load shall remain on conditioned and protected power after detection of a shorted SCR and isolation of the bypass static switch.

2.3.4	
Display and Controls
A.	UPS Control Panel
The UPS shall be provided with a microprocessor-based control panel for operator interface (may also be referred to as User Interface, or UI, to configure and monitor the UPS). The control panel shall be located on the front of the unit and can be operated without opening the hinged front door. The display shall not be mounted to the front door so the door can be easily removed for maintenance. A backlit, menu-driven, full graphics, color touch-screen liquid crystal display shall be used to enter setpoints, display system information, metering information, a one-line diagram of the UPS and its ancillaries, active events, event history, startup instructions and transfer and shutdown screens. No mechanical pushbuttons shall be used.
All configuration and setpoint settings shall be password-protected, and an optional key lock shall be available to restrict display functions to permit monitoring only, preventing any unauthorized operation from the display.
No mechanical push buttons shall be used.
B.	Logic
UPS system logic and control programming shall be resident in a microprocessor-based control system with non-volatile flash memory. Rectifier, inverter and system control logic shall utilize high-speed digital signal processors (DSPs). CAN bus shall be used to communicate between the logic and the UI as well as the options. Switches, contacts and relays shall be used only to signal the logic system as to the status of mechanical devices or to signal user control inputs. Customer external signals shall be isolated from the UPS logic by relays or optical isolation.

A graphical representation of the battery voltage during the discharge shall be displayed. The graphical representation shall remain in the monitoring system memory until the next discharge occurs and shall be available for review of the battery performance.
F.	Battery Cycle Monitor
The UPS shall have a Battery Cycle Monitor (BCM) built into system firmware to document the cycle service of the battery. It shall collect and retain information on the last 132 events that involved discharging the UPS battery. Each battery discharge cycle is to be put into one of nine categories, depending on the duration of the event:
•	0-30 seconds discharge
•	31-90 seconds discharge
•	91-240 seconds discharge
•	4-15 minutes discharge
•	15-30 minutes discharge
•	30-60 minutes discharge

•	8 hours and up
The BCM shall collect and retain this information for each discharge cycle:
•	System time and date
•	Event number
•	Duration of cycle
•	Lowest kW
•	Maximum kW
•	kW carried by the batteries at the start of cycle 
•	Ampere Hours
•	Status of battery breakers at start and end of the cycle
In addition, the BCM shall retain summary information on the total number of events, the cumulative ampere hours and the total discharge time since a given date.
The BCM shall be capable of storing information for up to 132 discharge cycle events in its data buffer. When the buffer approaches its capacity, a warning message shall be broadcast. Once the buffer is filled, new data will replace the old on a First-In, First-Out basis as new cycles occur.
The UPS operator shall be able to select either the BCM Summary screen, one of nine time buckets, or a list of all records in order of occurrences. The records displayed for each of the time buckets or for all records shall display detail information for each of the cycles.
During a battery discharge event, the Summary screen shall change to show information about the current discharge cycle. The screen shall display Active Battery Discharge Time in place of Total Battery Discharge Time and substitute Active Battery Amp Hours with Total Battery Amp Hours.
The UPS shall allow this information to be collected remotely through the Remote Service Terminal application program.
