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.

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:
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.
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.

Vertiv™ Liebert® EXS Installer/User Guide
Figure 6.1 Typical Parallel System (with Common Input, Separate Batteries and Output)
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.
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.

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.
