2. Introduction
Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS is normally regarded as the ultimate
solution to electrical power problems. It protects the critical AC load, which
needs a reliable, continuous power from AC Utility supply interruptions. The
various utility (Mains) supply problems are as listed below.
• Temporary Interruption
• Long-Term Interruption
• Momentary Interruption
• Sag or Under-Voltage
• Swell or Over-Voltage
• Transient, Impulse or Spike
• Notch
• Noise
• Harmonic Distortion
The UPS not only protects the load against above power hazards but also
provides continuous regulated pure AC power to the load.
The I4 UPS are an On-line UPS, also sometimes called Double Conversion
UPS. In the UPS the AC electrical power from the utility (Mains) supply is fed
into the charger to be converted in to DC. This DC will maintain the charge
on the battery and at the same time supply DC power to the inverter. The
inverter will then invert the DC source to become an AC supply for the
critical load.
During a power failure, the DC power for the inverter will be drawn from
the battery bank for uninterruptible supply to load. When AC power is
restored, the charger will then charge the battery and continue to supply
energy for the inverter, which powers the load.

It consists of the UPS (without battery). Depending upon the configuration
selected one or more UPS modules can be employed.
Battery module
This module comprises the battery pack for supplying power to the UPS
module in the event of a mains failure. There are various types of batteries
- SMFB, LATB, Ni-Cad, etc. Battery module may either be in the form of an
enclosure or may be supplied as a rack. Vented batteries such as LATB can
emit acidic fumes & require a special room.
Charger -
- Converts the AC mains to regulated DC power.
- Charges the Battery when mains are present.

Control section
Charger
I4 charger module uses three thyristor-thyristor modules. The charger
control generates the required firing angles so as to maintain a regulated DC
o/p. Charger performs the function of battery charging as well as providing
dc supply to the inverter. The Battery charging current is monitored by the
charger control & will operate the charger so as to limit the charging
current of the battery to a preset value.
SMPS
A Switch Mode Power supply generates the control power supplies for the
Control of I4 UPS module (Inverter, Static switch, etc). This power supply
receives input from the DC link as well as the Alternate supply lines,
enabling it to operate under all eventualities.
System control.
The system control card is the heart of the I4 UPS module. It employs an
advanced, digital signal processor based, control for the Inverter & the
Static switch. It monitors the performance of the UPS module &
communicates the status to the user interface card. It also receives
operational commands from the user interface & controls the UPS module
accordingly.
Gate Drivers
The main function of the gate driver is to drive the Inverter IGBT power
devices. The gate driver employs a sophisticated hybrid circuit in order to
drive as well as protect the IGBT. It acts on the PWM signals generated by
the system control.
System F/B (Feedback).
The system f/b (feedback) assembly taps all the required information
(voltages, currents, etc) from various parts of the I4 UPS module as provides
the feedback to the system control.
User Interface
It employs a powerful micro controller based circuitry along with a non-
volatile memory. It controls the LCD-Keypad as well as the LED mimic for
status reporting as well as programming the parameters of the UPS module.

4. Installation
Selecting the UPS Room:
NOTE
• Ensure that the room / location selected is clean and free from
conductive & corrosive dust and is freely ventilated.
• While selecting the location / room for the UPS, take into account
the dimensions of the UPS modules as well as any optional /
additional cubicles (if any) to be located in the designated area. For
dimensions of the UPS modules for various ratings – refer Technical
Specifications.
• Provide for at least one meter in front of the machine to leave plenty
of room for maintenance operations.
• Space of minimum 60 cms must be left between the back of the UPS
and the wall to provide for flow of air from the fans and for
maintenance operation.
• The AC-DC INPUT / OUTPUT cables should enter from the bottom of
the UPS.
• The UPS module is not free standing and requires bolting to the floor.
Ensure that proper foundation and eyelets have been provided as per
footprint drawing provided with the system.
• Normally, Ni-Cad and LATB batteries are not installed in the same
room as the UPS modules. How-ever SMFB batteries may be installed
in the same room. In this case, ensure that the dimension of the
battery bank as well as floor loading and operating temperature
requirements for batteries are taken into consideration.
• The UPS module must be moved only in an upright position and in the
original packing, along with the pallet, to the designated location of
placement.
Place the UPS module at the planned location, unpack the top and sides of
the packing case and remove the pallet while keeping the package gently
raised.

TRAINED
• Unlock the door of the UPS panel and remove the protection plate
mounted on the terminals.
• Terminate the cables at the designated terminals as per Input /
output cable termination location.
• Wiring of the battery bank must be done by referring to the manual
of the battery manufacturer and final positive and negative terminals
of the battery bank must be terminated at the UPS end on to the
designated terminal. In case battery junction box / battery isolator is
used externally, this must be located as close as possible to the
battery bank.
• The UPS to battery bank cable should be selected in such a manner
that the voltage drop is not more than 5% of the nominal DC. The
lesser the voltage drop than 5% is better.
• After all the input / output connections are made, ensure that they
are tightly screwed on to the terminals in such a way that they do not
come in contact with nearby terminals, which may create a short
circuit.
• Ensure that all the fuse holders inside the UPS have a fuse of the
proper rating, inserted and are in closed position.

6. Maintenance
As any other electrical equipment, the UPS system also needs periodic
preventive maintenance to ensure higher reliability and trouble free
performance.
The following tips will guide the user in proper maintenance during the life
of the system:
! panels.
DO NOT open the front door or side covers while
cleaning.
CAUTION DO NOT attempt cleaning the UPS module from inside.
This requires De-Energization and will be done during
scheduled maintenance visits by authorized service
• As high temperature of the UPS and / battery room affects the
lifespan of several components inside the Ups system, it is required
to maintain the UPS / battery room temperature well within the
specified limits and free from dust.
• It is recommended that periodic cleaning of ventilation channels and
grids should be carried out in order to ensure proper air circulation.
• It is recommended that the fans be replaced in the units, every
20,000 hours.
• Components such as power filter capacitors and lithium batteries (for
backup of data on the control board) should be replaced every 50,000
hours.
• Ensuring health of the batteries is of utmost importance as without
healthy batteries, the UPS will not deliver the desired performance.
For this periodic checking of the battery health is a must. For battery
maintenance, refer the battery manufacturer’s manual.
• Manual battery mode test should be performed at least once a
month, especially if the batteries are not sufficiently discharged
during the normal operations. Discharge time you use should be at
least half of the battery run time.
• In case some of the cells of the battery bank are found to be weak,
immediate replacement of those cells with new cells of same rating,
make and capacity should be carried out.
• In the event the UPS is kept under shutdown for longer durations, the
battery needs to be charged minimum once in three months, for
duration of 12 hours.
• During maintenance shutdown, visual and mechanical inspection of
the UPS must be carried out.
• Never use wire links in place of fuses.
• Always use the recommended rating / make / type of fuses as per
this operations manual.
• Check the calibration of all the parameters like input voltage,
current, output voltage, current, frequency, etc and recalibrate if
required as per the procedure given in this manual.
• Carry out functional checks of thyristors, diodes, transformers, filter
components etc to ensure that they are operating within the
specified design parameters.
• All functional tests like mains failure simulation, load transfer on
static bypass simulation, load transfer on maintenance bypass
simulation should be carried out at least once a year.
• Monitoring battery operation in discharge and recharge mode
including any boost charge should be carried out at least once a year.
