2.5 Major Internal Components and Operating Principle


The UPS is composed the components described in Figure 2.4 on the next page. The Table 2.1 below, describes the operation
of various circuits through the components.

Table 2.1 Major Component Operation


Component Operation/Function

Provide surge protection. Filter electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference
Transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS)
(RFI). Minimize any surges or interference present in the utility line and protect the sensitive equipment
and EMI/RFI Filters
even when on internal bypass power.

In normal operation, converts utility AC power to regulated DC power for use by the inverter while
Rectifier/Power factor correction (PFC) ensuring that the wave shape of the input current used by the UPS is near ideal. Extracting this sine wave
circuit input current ensures efficient use of utility power and reduces distortion reflected on the utility making
cleaner power available to devices that are not protected by the UPS.

In normal operation, inverts the DC output of the power factor correction circuit into precise, regulated
sine wave AC power. When utility power fails, the inverter receives energy from the batteries through the
Inverter
rectifier. In both normal mode and bypass mode, the UPS inverter remains online, generating clean,
precise, and regulated AC output power.

When the UPS is connected to utility power and the rectifier is operating, the battery charger regulates
DC to DC charger
energy output from the rectifier/PFC to continuously recharge the batteries.

In the event of an output overload, over temperature condition, or other failure, the switch automatically
Static bypass switch
transfers connected equipment to bypass power.

Up to 3 strings of long life, valve regulated, non-spillable, lead-acid batteries depending on back up run
time requirements. See Specifications on page 59, for approximate run times.
Batteries
NOTE: To maintain battery design life, operate the UPS in an ambient temperature of 68 °F to 77 °F
(20 °C to 25 °C).

Maintenance bypass Breaker electrically isolates the UPS and internal batteries for maintenance.

2.6.5 Auto restart mode


When enabled, which is the default setting, auto restart mode automatically restarts the UPS after a shutdown that resulted
from depleted batteries after an extended power outage. A built-in 10 seconds delay after utility power is restored allows other
equipment to start first and stabilize before the UPS restarts.

2.6.6 Eco mode—single UPS


The UPS ships in eco mode as the factory default setting. Eco mode reduces power consumption and provides UPS efficiency
approaching 98.7% by powering the load via bypass if the bypass voltage is normal or by powering the load via the inverter
when the bypass voltage is outside the specified range.

NOTE: During eco mode, if a bypass failure or abnormal bypass voltage notification appears when the output is not
overloaded, the UPS will transfer to normal mode. However, if a notification showing bypass failure or abnormal
bypass voltage appears when the output is overloaded, the UPS will shutdown the bypass.

Earth leakage current

the residual current detector (RCD) for the UPS upstream input power distribution should be:

• Sensitive to the DC unidirectional pulse (Level A) in the power distribution network.


• Insensitive to the transient current pulse.
• General sensitivity type, settable: 0.3 A to 1 A.

The residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) must be sensitive to the DC unidirectional pulse (Level A) in the power
distribution network, but insensitive to the transient current pulse. See Figure 3.2 below.

Figure 3.2 RCCB Symbols

When using the earth RCD in a split bypass system, the RCD should be installed at the upstream input power distribution end
to prevent false alarms. The earth leakage current fed by the RFI filter in the UPS ranges from 3.5 mA to 100 mA. We
recommend that you verify the sensitivity of each differential device of the upstream input power distribution and
downstream power distribution (to load).

Battery
The UPS includes an overcurrent protection device for the Internal battery.

8 REPO Coil N.O. Normally Open circuit, EPO is activated when Pin 6–Pin 8 is closed.

WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death.
The EPO action of the UPS will shutdown the rectifier, inverter, and static bypass, but it does not disconnect
input power to the UPS. To electrically isolate the UPS, an interface with the external REPO circuit must be
field supplied to allow disconnecting the UPS input feeder breaker to remove all sources of power to the UPS
and connected equipment to comply with national and local wiring codes and regulations.

The Figure 2.2 on page 7, shows the location of the REPO connection inside the UPS front panel. Figure 3.5 on the next page,
shows the connection details.

If a REPO connection is not required for the UPS, the factory installed jumper between Pin 2 and Pin 4 must remain installed
for the UPS to operate.

NOTE: The terminal block wire range is 18 AWG to 22 AWG (0.82 mm2 to 0.33 mm2), and we recommend using 18 AWG
copper, shielded, and signal cable. If the REPO will trip an external, electronically controlled circuit breaker, you must
reset the breaker before starting the UPS after the REPO is activated.

NOTE: We recommend that you route the wiring for the REPO connection from the rear of the UPS through the built in
wiring pass through to connect to the REPO port. See Figure 2.2 on page 7, for the location of the pass through.

selections, and factory details.

NOTE: The terminal block wire range is 18 AWG to 22 AWG (0.82 mm2 to 0.33 mm2), and we recommend using 18 AWG
copper, shielded, and signal cable.

All input dry contact ratings are 12 VDC, 20 mA maximum. The output dry contact rating is 24 VDC, 0.5 A maximum.

The inputs expect the external dry contact to be N.O. and to close in order to trigger the alarm/action. The output dry
contacts are N.O. and close in order to trigger the alarm/action.

6 Parallel System and LBS System


This chapter gives details on the installation of parallel system and LBS system.

6.1 General
The UPS parallel system consists of up to two single UPS of the same model. The parallel system does not require a
centralized bypass. Instead, each UPS bypass shares the load when the system is transferred to the mains bypass supply.

From a power viewpoint, each module is internally identical to the single module configuration. A parallel system requires inter
module control signals to manage the load sharing, synchronizing and bypass switching. The control signals are connected
through the parallel cables, which are multi way ribbon cables connected between the units of the system to form a ring.

When two modules are to be connected in parallel, it is recommended that inductor should be inserted in the bypass line. This
can be installed internal to the UPS as an option.

6.2 Requirements
A UPS system comprising of multiple parallel connected UPSs is equivalent to a large UPS system. Nevertheless, it provides
increased system reliability. To ensure equal utilization of all UPSs and compliance with relevant wiring regulations, the
following requirements must be met:

• All single UPSs must have the same capacity.


• The bypass input power and the rectifier input power must be connected to the same neutral line input terminal.
• If a residual current detector (RCD) is required, it must be set correctly and installed before the same neutral line
input terminal, or it must monitor the protective earth current of the system. Refer to 'Warning: high leakage
current of Safety Precautions before Contents.
• The outputs of all single UPSs must be connected to the same output bus.

6.3 System Installation Procedures


The basic installation procedure of a parallel system comprising two or more UPS modules is the same as that of single
module system. This section only introduces the installation procedures specific to the parallel system. The installation of a
parallel UPS should follow the installation procedure for a single UPS module with the additional requirements detailed in this
section.

WARNING! To achieve normal operation of the parallel system, Vertiv service personnel must execute the
CAN resistance operation. Failure to do so could result in system fault.

6.3.1 Preliminary checks


Ensure that correct parallel cable option has been selected, and that the module ratings, model, and software and hardware
releases are consistent.

WARNING! To achieve coordinated operation of the modules in the parallel system, it is required to configure
each module separately using Vertiv setting software. This must be done by Vertiv service personnel.

6 Parallel System and LBS System Proprietary and Confidential ©2023 Vertiv Group Corp. 47
Vertiv™ Liebert® EXS Installer/User Guide

6.3.2 Cabinet installation


Place the UPS modules side by side and interconnect as shown in Figure 6.1 below. The output distribution mode (QE1 and
QE2 must be configured) shown in Figure 6.1 below is recommended to facilitate maintenance and system testing.

Figure 6.1 Typical Parallel System (with Common Input, Separate Batteries and Output)

6.3.3 Power cables


The power cable wiring is similar to that of the UPS module.

The bypass and rectifier input supplies must use the same neutral line input terminal. If the input has a current leakage
protective device, the current leakage protective device must be fitted upstream of the neutral line input terminal.

NOTE: The power cables of each UPS module (including the bypass input cables and UPS output cables) should be of
the same length and specifications to facilitate load sharing.

NOTE: The UPS adopts common input configuration and split bypass configuration. If the mains input and bypass
input come from two different transformers, then these two transformers should share one grounding grid.

6.3.4 Parallel cables


Shielded and double insulated parallel cables available in lengths of 5 m, 10 m, and 15 m must be interconnected between the
UPS modules in a ring configuration, as shown in Figure 6.2 on the facing page. Connect a single module parallel cable from its
PARALLEL1 port to the PARALLEL2 port of another module. Repeat this step for all the other parallel cables.

The ring connection ensures the reliability of the control of the parallel system. Make sure that the cables are securely
connected before starting the system.

6.3.5 REPO
In addition to the EPO terminal provided by each UPS module to control the EPO of each module respectively, the parallel
system also provides remote EPO function for controlling all UPS modules to shutdown simultaneously from a remote
terminal, as shown in Figure 6.3 below.

NOTE: The remote EPO switch must provide dry contact signal, which is normally open or normally closed.

NOTE: The external EPO device can be composed of another control system which can disconnect UPS mains supply
or bypass input.

7 Maintenance
WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause property damage, injury, and death.
The unit has several circuits that are energized with high DC and AC voltages. Check for voltage with both
AC and DC voltmeters before making contact and before working within the UPS. Only properly trained and
qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA approved PPE should prepare for installation, install, and
maintain the equipment. When performing maintenance with any part of the equipment under power, service
personnel and test equipment must stand on rubber mats.

WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death.
Before beginning installation, verify that all external overcurrent protection devices are open (Off), and that
they are locked out and tagged appropriately to prevent activation during the installation. After the power
cables are connected, the terminal block’s protective cover must be reinstalled to remove the electric shock
hazard.

WARNING! Risk of heavy unit falling over. Improper handling can cause equipment damage, injury, and death.
Exercise extreme care when handling unit cabinets and rack mounted units to avoid equipment damage or
injury to personnel. The UPS weighs between 1,041.1 lb (460 kg) and 1,3883.9 lb (630 kg) depending upon the
number of battery strings in the system. See Table 8.2 on page 61, for the specific weights. Locate center of

gravity symbols and determine unit weight before handling. Test lift and balance the cabinets before
transporting. Maintain minimum tilt from vertical at all times. Slots at the base of the module cabinets are for
forklift use. Forklift slots support the unit only if the forks are completely beneath the unit.

7.1 Cleaning the UPS


Clean the UPS periodically, especially the ventilation holes, to ensure free air flow inside the UPS. If necessary, clean the UPS
with a vacuum cleaner or wipe with a dry cloth. Confirm that the ventilation holes are unobstructed.

7 Maintenance Proprietary and Confidential ©2023 Vertiv Group Corp. 57


Vertiv™ Liebert® EXS Installer/User Guide

7.2.1 Battery safety


If the battery kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of leakage, contact Vertiv technical support immediately. Handle,
transport, and recycle batteries in accordance with local regulations.

CAUTION: Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery may explode.
Do not open or damage the battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin and eyes. If electrolyte comes into
contact with the skin, wash the affected area immediately with plenty of clean water and get medical
attention.

WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause personal injury and death.
When connected together, battery terminal voltage is potentially lethal. Be constantly aware that the battery
system contains high DC and AC voltages. Check for the presence of voltage using DC and AC voltmeters
before making contact with terminals.

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed
when working on batteries:

• Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.


• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock is
reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to a UPS and a remote battery
supply not having a grounded supply circuit).

The UPS is equipped with long life, sealed, valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA), also known as maintenance free
batteries. The battery life depends upon the operating ambient temperature of the UPS system. To prolong battery life:

• Keep the ambient temperature between 68 °F and 77 °F (20 °C and 25 °C).


• Prevent long low current discharges.
• Charge the battery for at least 8 hours if the battery hasn't been charged for three months when it has been
stored at the specified ambient temperature, or two months when it has been stored at high ambient
temperature.

The waste lead-acid battery is dangerous waste material. Its storage, transportation, usage, and disposal must follow national
and local laws and other criteria about dangerous waste material and waste battery pollution prevention.

Per the related regulations, recycle the waste lead-acid battery. Other disposal methods are prohibited. Disposing of the waste
lead-acid battery in a landfill or other waste dump can result in serious environment pollution and violates national and local
laws.

Vertiv has a service network and recycle system to assist in complying with laws governing waste battery disposal. Visit
http://www.Vertiv.com/en-us/support/ for information about recycling the waste battery.
