4.2 Audible noise generated by the UPS system under any condition of normal operation shall not exceed
the sound pressure level indicated in the “UPS technical data”, measured at a height of 1 metre and at
1 metre from the nearest UPS cabinet surface.

5 System description
The UPS needs to have the capability to scale in power from 15 to 90kW.
The UPS will be sized to provide a minimum of ____ kVA/kW output ( 1 power factor rating)
The UPS will be able to supply at full rated (kVA) output for loads with power factor between 0.9 lagging
and 0.9 leading.
The UPS will have an active power factor corrected IGBT converter/rectifier, capable of maintaining input
power factor and input THDi within specifications without an additional input filter.
The UPS will be of transformer-free design, requiring no internal transformer in the main power path for the
basic operation of the module.

The UPS will be able to operate in the following conditions:

5.1 On-line mode - During normal operation, the UPS system will be used to provide precise regulated and
transient-free power to the computer equipment loads. The mains supply provides power to the
rectifier/charger. The rectifier/charger will provide regulated DC power to support the inverter and
simultaneously maintain the battery in a fully charged condition. The inverter will convert the DC power
into regulated AC power for the load.

5.2 Battery mode - Upon failure of the mains supply, input power for the inverter will automatically be
supplied from the directly connected battery. When the mains is restored or the standby generator set
supply is ready, input power for the inverter and for recharging the battery will automatically be supplied
from the rectifier/charger. If the input does not return, the UPS will automatically shut itself down in an
orderly manner when the discharge limit of the battery is reached.

5.3 Modularity
The UPS must have modular architectures based on identical power modules which can be interchanged
and connected in parallel, inside the UPS cabinet and hot swappable.
Power modules will be equipped with control and self diagnostic circuits, in order to easily individuate
the faulty module and the specific failure inside it.
Power Modules must be lighter than 34 kg in order to be managed, in service and maintenance.

5.4 Internal Redundancy N+X


The UPS must be configurable as N+X power redundant system, with modules of 15kW.
This kind of redundancy must guarantee continuous supply and protection whenever one module
fails. Redundancy must be obtained through the load sharing technology.

5.5 Bypass mode - Upon the failure of static inverter, common among power modules, the no-break static
transfer switch shall be activated automatically to isolate the faulty inverter and at the same time
maintain a continuous supply to the system load. The automatic transfer mode shall also operate in the
event of system overloading or if irregular or undesirable output for the load is detected. In this case,
the system shall automatically return to the original mode of operation if the disturbance is cleared.

5.6 Manual Bypass mode - If the UPS system needs to be isolated for testing or removed from service for
maintenance, the built-in maintenance bypass will transfer the loads from inverter to the mains without
interruption and vice versa.

5.7 Power Conditioner mode - If the battery only must be taken out of service for maintenance, it will be
disconnected from the rectifier/charger and inverter by means of an isolator. The UPS will continue to

UPS 3-phase Modular - Tender specs 15-90 kW Page 3/11


function and meet all the performance criteria specified herein except for the protection time
requirement.

6 UPS design

5.4 All serviceable parts will be accessible from front and top of the UPS cabinet.

5.5 UPS must be designed with a centralized static bypass among power modules

5.7 UPS must be designed with common batteries among power modules

5.8 The equipment shall meet the requirements of protection class IP 20.

7 Rectifier/charger
7.1 General - The rectifier/charger must consist of a IGBT fully controlled bridge, which converts the 3-
phase utility voltage into a controlled and regulated DC voltage, in order to supply power to the inverter,
and to simultaneously charge the battery.

7.2 Capacity - The rectifier/charger shall have sufficient capacity to support a fully loaded inverter and at
the same time maintain the battery in a fully charged condition.
If the battery is fully discharged, the rectifier/charger shall recharge the battery to 80% of its fully
charged condition preferably within 5 hours and at the same time supplying full load current to the
system. Otherwise the UPS supplier shall specify the charging time required.
Each power module needs to deliver at least 9Amps for battery charging.

7.3 Power walk-in - The rectifier/charger must contain a timed walk-in circuit to limit the inrush current.
The allowable initial inrush surge and the walk-in time should be adjustable and not exceed 15sec.

7.4 Sequential power walk-in - a sequential walk-in of every single rectifier/charger shall be automatically
executed in case of the start up of a parallel system in order to limit the inrush current to the value of
one single system.

7.5 Current and Voltage Limit - The rectifier/charger output current and voltage shall be limited to the
battery supplier's recommendation.

UPS 3-phase Modular - Tender specs 15-90 kW Page 4/11


8 Inverter

8.2 Failure of any components or power stage shall not interrupt the AC output instead it shall disconnect
itself from the configuration while transferring the load to the static transfer switch and then activate an
alarm.

8.3 Standard Control Battery - A control battery will be provided to furnish logic power which is
independent of the inverter input or output power. The battery will provide the power required to operate
the inverter logic until the load is transferred to the alternate source and the inverter is shut down in an
orderly manner in the event of a failure of the logic solid- state power supply. In addition, the battery
will provide power to the alarm system to maintain event records after a UPS failure and shutdown.

8.4 Output - The inverter output wave form will be controlled by microprocessor-based software (software
generated sine wave) to ensure that the voltage THD is being limited especially for non-linear loads.

8.5 The wave form will be fed through a filter circuit and protected by fast fuses.

8.6 Neutral - The neutral of the inverter output will be electrically isolated from the grounded UPS system
chassis.

8.7 The inverter will be able to handle short-circuit conditions without any damage.

provide an uninterruptible transfer of the load to the utility in case of overload or UPS malfunction
conditions.

9.2 The electronic bypass switch will be able to operate in continuous way. In addition the static transfer
switch will support 150% overload for 1 minute and a short circuit withstanding current of 65kA.
