PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Provide continuous duty, three-phase, solid state, on-line double conversion reverse transfer static UPS(s). The UPS by means of solid state conversion techniques, must provide continuous regulated AC power to its output terminals, while operating from an input power source, cabinet or rack-mounted direct current (DC) storage battery or other approved means. The performance of the UPS must not be degraded when operating without a system battery, provided the input AC source is within tolerance. Provide an UPS system that conforms to UL 1778 and consists of UPS module, battery system, battery protective device, system cabinet, static bypass transfer switch, controls and monitoring, system protective devices, means of isolating the UPS system from the critical load, and remote monitoring interfaces. Connect input ac power the normal source ac input of the UPS module. Connect alternate power source bypass/maintenance bypass. Connect battery to the dc input of the UPS module through the battery protective device. The following configuration is used:
a. Redundant System.
(1) Two parallel redundant systems that may be operated separately, with only one system active at any time connected to both A and B bus via tie breakers. Each UPS system on either side of the split bus is able to support the total critical load.
2.2 MODES OF OPERATION
2.2.1 Normal
The UPS module rectifier/charger must convert the incoming ac input power to dc power for the inverter and for float charging the battery. The inverter continuously coverts the dc power to ac power to supply the critical load. The inverter output must synchronize with the bypass ac power source, provided that the bypass ac power source is within the specified voltage and frequency range.
2.2.2 Battery - Emergency Operation (Loss or deviation of AC Input Power)
Whenever the ac input power source deviates from the specified tolerances including complete failure, the inverter must draw power from the battery system and supply AC power to the critical load without any interruption or switching transient. The battery system must supply power to the inverter for the specified protection time or until return of ac input source. Provide an audible alarm to indicate the UPS is on battery and provide provisions for a remote alarm signal to be sent via the communication network and a relay output, allowing startup of a secondary
SECTION 26 33 53 Page 8 power source or orderly shutdown of the critical load.
2.2.3 Failure of AC Input Power to Return
If the ac input power fail to return before the battery voltage reaches the discharge limit, then the UPS system must disconnect from the critical load to safeguard the battery.
2.2.4 Recharge
Upon restoration of normal power to the UPS unit, the input converter and output inverter must simultaneously recharge the batteries and provide regulated power to the critical load.
2.2.5 Transfer to Static Bypass AC Power Source
When the UPS controller senses an overload, two or more inverter shutdown signals or degradation of the inverter output, the static bypass switch automatically transfers the critical load from the inverter output to the bypass ac power source without an interruption of power. If the static bypass ac power source is outside of specified tolerance limits, the UPS and the critical load shut down. Transfer to static bypass can also be done manually (requested bypass). Transfer to bypass does not take place under these conditions: 100% stepload; and, loss or return of input power, momentary sags, surges or spikes on the input to the UPS.
2.2.6 Transfer to Inverter
Provide a static bypass switch that is capable of automatically transferring the load back to the inverter output after the inverter overload condition has returned to normal conditions. Transfer only occurs once the two sources are synchronized. UPS system logic is to monitor the number of retransfer's within any one-hour period and is to allow 1 to 3 transfers in order to prevent cyclical transfers caused by overloads.
2.2.7 Off-Battery (Battery Maintenance)
Provide a battery protective device which disconnects the battery from the rectifier/charger and inverter for maintenance. The device may be located external to the UPS cabinet. The UPS module continues to function and meet the performance criteria specified except for the battery back-up time function.
2.2.8 Component Performance
Do not exceed 75% of the working voltage and current ratings as established by the manufacturer on solid-state power components and electronic devices. Do not exceed 75% of the operating temperature of solid-state component sub-assemblies. Use computer grade electrolytic capacitors and operate at no more than 95% of the voltage rating at the rectifier charging voltage.

Provide an inverter that is able to sustain an overload as specified across its output terminals. The inverter is to remain on and continue to operate within rated parameters, with inverse-time overload shutdown protection.

The bypass protective device is to be in series with the static switch. The inverter output protective device disconnects and isolates the inverter from the bypass transfer circuit.
2.6.2 Automatic Uninterrupted Transfer
The static bypass transfer switch automatically causes the bypass ac power source to assume the critical load without interruption when the bypass control logic senses one of the following conditions and the UPS inverter output is synchronized to the bypass ac power source:
a. Inverter overload exceeds unit's rating.
b. Battery protection period is expired and bypass is available.
c. System failure.

SECTION 26 33 53 Page 18
2.6.3 Interrupted Transfer
If an overload occurs and the UPS inverter output is not synchronized to the bypass ac power source, the UPS inverter output current-limits for 200 milliseconds minimum. The inverter then turns off and an interrupted transfer to the bypass ac power source is made.
If the bypass ac power source is beyond the conditions stated below, an interrupted transfer is made upon detection of a fault condition:
a. Bypass voltage greater than plus or minus 10 percent from the UPS rated output voltage.
b. Bypass frequency greater than plus or minus 0.5 Hz from the UPS rated output frequency.

The transfer is to make-before-break utilizing the UPS output and system bypass circuit breakers. Do not use the static switch for manual transfer unless there isn't a parallel by-pass circuit breaker or contactor.
2.6.5 Automatic Uninterrupted Forward Transfer
Automatic transfer of the load back to the inverter is to take place when the transfer was caused by an overload and only after the load has returned to a level within the inverter souse. Provide the ability to allow 1 to 3 transfers within any one-hour period to prevent cyclical transfers caused by overloads.
2.6.6 Forced Transfer
Provide control logic circuitry with the means of making a forced or reverse transfer of the static bypass transfer circuit on an interrupted basis. Minimum interruption is 200 milliseconds when the UPS inverter is not synchronized to the bypass ac power source.
