PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 GENERAL
A. On-line active modular Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system shall be provided,
where indicated on drawings to supply clean, regulated single-phase and three phases
power for designated electrical and electronic equipment even when the incoming utility
power is interrupted. The system shall consist of a rectifier/charger, inverter, satic
bypass switches plus external by-pass switches and sealed, low maintenance battery
plant sized for 15 minutes back-up time.
2.2 OPERATION
A. Each UPS unit shall be configured as a true on-line system whereby the inverter section
of the UPS is the main source of AC power to the critical load and the bypass AC source
is utilized as the standby source in case of an extreme overload or inverter failure.
Transfer to the AC source shall be automatic and without interruption.
1. Operational Modes
b) Power Failure: The inverter shall draw DC power from the battery
plant. No switching or transfer shall occur. The AC output of the
system shall remain constant, regulated and transient free. Should the
power failure exceed the reserve time of the provided battery plant, the
UPS shall electronically shut down, protecting the battery plant from
irreversible damage.
c) Return of A/C power supply (before UPS shutdown): Should the utility
power return before the UPS has shut down due to low battery voltage,
the rectifier/charger shall resume powering the inverter as well as
recharging the battery plant.
d) Return of A/C power supply (after UPS shutdown): Should the power
return after the UPS has performed a low battery voltage shutdown, the
rectifier/charger shall restart and immediately begin recharging the
battery plant. The inverter shall then perform a "self test", automatically
restart and resume powering the critical load. This shall be an automatic
function and require no manual operations.
2.3 RATINGS
Each UPS shall have, as a minimum the following specifications and ratings:
A. Output
3. Duration: 15 Minutes
5. Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz (without
battery discharge)
1. Ambient Operating
A. Rectifier/Charger:
6. Inverter
configuration.
A. The front panel of the UPS shall have, as a minimum, the following indicators/alarms:
B. Metering: The UPS shall have an LED bar graph which shall indicate the amount of
load on the UPS. The graph shall indicate 0 to 150% load, in addition a remote
indications and control unit shall be provided.
C. Audible Alarm: The UPS shall have an audible alarm plus remote alarm contact which
shall enunciate when any alarm condition is present. A non-latching "audible cancel"
pushbutton shall be on the front panel to cancel audible alarm.
D. Internal Temperature Monitoring: The temperature of all major power components such
as the input and output transformers, rectifier, inverter and static power semiconductors
shall be monitored for abnormal conditions; in the event of high component temperature,
the UPS shall current limit and the inverter will shut down and cause a no-break transfer
of the load to the static bypass AC source.
E. Internal Indicators: The UPS shall be equipped with LED status indicators within the
UPS for diagnostic evaluation:
Contact Closures: The following contact closures shall be provided for remote wiring:
1. Alarm 1: On bypass
2. Alarm 2: Utility fail
3. Alarm 3: Low battery
4. Alarm 4: General summary alarm
- Overloaded
- Overtemperature
- Battery disconnected
2.7 BATTERY
2.8 MECHANICAL
2.9 ACCESSORIES
A. External maintenance bypass switch which shall allow for complete isolation of the UPS
cabinet from the utility power and critical load. This shall allow for complete
disconnection of the UPS cabinet for maintenance or repair. All transfers shall not effect
load operation.
B. Digital meter panel to display UPS input and output voltages, input and output currents,
battery current and voltage.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 INSPECTION
A. Examine areas and conditions under which UPS is to be installed and notify Architect in
writing of conditions detrimental to proper completion of the work. Do not proceed with
the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Install complete UPS System, including associated by – pass switches control devices as
indicated, in accordance with manufacturer's written instructions, requirements of
applicable standards, and in accordance with local authority requirements to ensure that
installation complies with requirements and serves intended function.
B. Coordinate with other work as necessary to interface installation of UPS System with
other work.
C. Tighten connectors and terminals, including screws and bolts, in accordance with
equipment manufacturer's published torque tightening values for equipment connectors.
D. Anchor mounting hardware firmly to floors. To ensure enclosures are permanently and
mechanically secured. Provide all hardware and accessories for proper mounting.
A. Upon completion of installation and after circuitry has been energized, demonstrate
capability and compliance of UPS Systems with requirements.
Where possible, correct malfunctioning units at site then retest to demonstrate
compliance; otherwise, remove and replace with new units, and retest.
B. Provide site testing by the manufacturer's field service personnel or representative. Site
testing to consist of a complete test of the UPS Systems under load and the associated
accessories supplied by the manufacturer. Document the test results, sign and date for
Architect.
A. Building Operating Personnel Training: Train Owner and operator's building personnel
in procedures for starting up, bypassing and operating UPS System. Furnish operator's
manuals providing installation and operation instructions for each UPS System .
