General
1. The UPS's shall be continuous duty, parallel redundant configuration, three phase, on-line,

switching equipment and computer loads. The system shall consist of 2 solid state inverters, 2
rectifier/battery chargers, and a 100% rated, continuous duty static switch, which shall be
interlinked with the control electronics of the system in such a way that their activation is
controlled on the basis of priority, together with internal maintenance By-pass switches with
100% rated load backup for 60 minutes each and battery protection circuit breaker. This shall

phase + Neutral, power 415 volt, 50 HZ continuous at 0.8 pf lagging.
2. The UPS manufacturer must confirm the kVA rating of T1- Mains input Transformer to be
consistent with the load bearing capacity of the UPS. Furthermore, a rating identification metal
plate must be securely mounted on the transformer showing its rating. Failure to comply with
this request will result in immediate disqualification.
3. The UPS is to be of a modular design, that is capable of being modified for the purposes of
load sharing (power upgrade of maximum 4 units) or additional redundancy, for added
reliability to the load, in the future. This shall be possible by simple means „on-site‟, without the
need for any elaborate factory interventions or modifications.
Mode of Operation
1. The UPS's shall be designed to operate as an on-line true double conversion system in the
following modes:
Normal: The critical AC load is continuously supplied by the UPS inverter. The
rectifier/charger derives power from utility AC input source and supplies DC power to the
inverter while simultaneously float charging the battery.
Bypass mode: the static bypass transfer switch shall be used to transfer the load to the
bypass without interruption to the critical load. This shall be accomplished by turning the
inverter off. Automatic re-transfer or forward transfer of the load shall be accomplished by
turning the inverter on.
Maintenance bypass/test mode: A manual make before break maintenance bypass
switch shall be provided to isolate the UPS inverter output and static bypass transfer switch
for maintenance. This shall allow the UPS to be tested or repaired without affecting load
operation.
Battery backup mode: In the event of a failure of the normal AC input source, the critical
loads are supplied by the inverter with power from the battery without any switching taking
place within the UPS.
Cold start: This function is to make it possible to start the UPS even when the AC input
source is absent. The power is supplied by the battery for a period determined by the
battery charge level and the power required by the load. However, the battery discharge
time is never to exceed three times the rated backup time plus two hours.
1. If an engine generator set is used in the installation, the UPS is to offers the following 3
features, designed to facilitate UPS sizing and avoid any operating difficulties.
1. This function avoids the inrush current at start-up that could disrupt engine generator set
operation. The charger finally comes in „softly‟ with the least of stress to the supplying source.
Time delay
1. This function, in conjunction with the walk-in, should be capable of staggering the charger start.
The purpose, in installations comprising multiple UPS units, is to avoid simultaneous starts that
could disrupt engine generator set operation.
1. It should be possible to set UPS parameters such that when an external signal is received via
an auxiliary contact, the charge level is limited. The value may be programmable to 0 A, i.e. it
is possible to stop charging for the start of an engine generator set.
1. By using a suitable Battery Monitoring device, the UPS is to optimise the service life of the
battery and continuously maintain a high degree of operational security by ensuring the
following functions:
A. Calculation of the true available backup time, taking into account the battery age, the
temperature and the charge level
B. Estimation of the battery service life
C. Protection against excessive discharges
D. Regulation of battery voltage depending on the temperature, which increases battery
service life
E. Limiting of battery current
F. Automatic battery testing:
G. Battery discharge at programmable time intervals
H. Battery status, used for preventive detection of battery faults;
I. Continuity of the battery circuit.
J. Protection against deep discharges depending on the discharge curves and battery
isolation by the circuit breaker.
K. Progressive buzzer indicating the end of backup time.
L. Temperature monitoring used to:
M. Regulate the charger voltage depending on the temperature in the battery room.

UPS function.

• Bypass frequency greater than +/- 2 HZ from the UPS output frequency.
C. Automatic uninterrupted forward transfer - The static bypass transfer switch shall
automatically forward transfer, without interruption, after (1) one of the two UPS inverters
are turned “ON” or (2) after an instantaneous overload induced reverse transfer has
occurred and the load current returns to less than the on of the unit‟s 100% rating.
D. Manual transfer - A manual static transfer shall be initiated from the System Status and
control panel by turning both the UPS inverters OFF.
E. Overload ratings - The static bypass transfer switch shall have the following overload
characteristics:
The visual display shall display the following system parameters based on true RMS
metering:
An audible alarm reset switch shall be provided to silence the audible alarm. If a new alarm
is sensed after the previous alarm has been silenced, it shall reactive the audible alarm.
An emergency stop push switch shall be provided, which when pressed, shall cause the
AC input, bypass input contactor and battery circuit breakers to open, thereby shutting
down the UPS and the load. The push button shall be located on the mimic panel labelled
emergency stop and protected by a plastic cover to guard against accidental operation.
D. Back-feed protection
The bypass AC input is to be optionally equipped with a device to prevent flow of battery
current upstream via the automatic bypass. This device, placed upstream of the static
switch, mechanically disconnects the bypass AC input when the load is transferred to
battery power or if the bypass AC source fails. It is to ensure complete safety for persons
servicing the installation upstream of the UPS.
