4.1 General
The static inverter shall be of solid state type using proven Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
technique. The inverter equipment shall include all necessary control circuitry and devices
to conform requirements like voltage regulation, current limiting, wave shaping, transient
recovery, automatic synchronization etc. as given below.
The inverter shall utilize Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) or Intelligent Power
Module (IPM) Transistors which shall provide intelligent features like the drive circuitry,
over-current protection, over temperature protection, control power failure protection and
short circuit protection.
The IGBT / IPM transistors shall enable high speed switching of 6 Khz thus reducing the
heat dissipation in the UPS and thereby providing high efficiency.
The UPS shall utilize both Voltage and Current feedback control circuits so that the inverter
shall act not only as a constant voltage source but also as a load required current source.
This shall enable the inverter to quickly adapt to the changing load current value and wave
shape.
The inverter output voltage shall not deviate by more than + 1% RMS due to the following
steady state conditions :
The inverter output frequency shall be controlled by an oscillator internal to the UPS module
logic. It shall be capable of synchronizing to an external reference (e.g. the bypass source or
another UPS module) or operating asynchronously. The oscillator shall maintain
synchronization with the external reference within the limitations set hereunder. The
inverter shall operate on self run mode without synchronism if the bypass frequency exceeds
the set value. The oscillator, while running asynchronously, shall maintain the frequency as
50 Hz + 0.01% (or + 0.005 Hz). Automatic adjustment of phase relationship between
inverter output and standby bypass source shall be gradual at a controlled slew rate which
shall be adjustable at the rate of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 Hz / second. (default 2.0 Hz / second).
The inverter output frequency shall not vary during steady state or transient operation due to
the following conditions:
The inverter output shall limit the amount of harmonic content to the values stated in section
4.9. The use of excessive or additional filtering shall not be required to limit the harmonic
content thus maintaining a high level of efficiency, reliability and original equipment
footprint.
The inverter output shall be capable of providing an overload current while maintaining
rated output voltage to the values stated in section 4.8. An LED indicator shall be located
on the control panel to identify this condition. If the time limit associated with the overload
condition expires or the overload is in excess of the set current amplitude, the load shall be
transferred to the bypass source without interruption.
The inverter output shall be limited to 150% of rated load current. The two sensing
locations shall operate separately and independently thus providing redundancy and, in the
event of a failure, preventing unnecessary damage to power transistor components / fuses.
Load current above 150% shall cause an immediate transfer of the load to the bypass source
for fault clearing.
The AC output from the inverter shall utilize fuses for overload protection. The inverter
shall utilize a contactor to isolate the inverter output from the critical bus.
The inverter output isolation contactor shall be located in the UPS module and shall be
controlled by the internal UPS module system logic.

This shall provide neutral separation which shall mean that output neutral will be
independent of incoming neutral, hence critical load shall be isolated from the problems like
incoming neutral open or, short or, variations in neutral to earth voltage due to sudden
loading in neighboring installation.
In the event of Phase sequence reversal at the input, UPS system shall continue to work on
the main power supply, or UPS systems shall go into battery mode, and shall not trip the
UPS system.
5.1 A bypass circuit shall be provided as an alternate source of power other than the inveter. A
high speed switch and wrap-around contactor shall be used for the critical load during
automatic transfers to the bypass circuit. The static switch and wrap-around contactor shall
drive power from an upstream bypass feed circuit breaker internal to the UPS module
provided for overload protection. The wrap-around contactor shall be electrically connected
in parallel to the static switch and shall at the same time as the static switch, energize and
upon closure, maintain the bypass source. The static switch shall only be utilized for the
time needed to energize the wrap-around contactor thus increasing reliability. The bypass
circuit shall be capable of supplying the UPS rated load current and also provide fault
clearing current. The UPS system logic shall employ sensing which shall cause the static
switch to energize within 150 microseconds thus providing an uninterrupted transfer to the
bypass source when any of the following limitations shall exceed :
5.2 Keeping the above requirements in view, the static switch shall have the following minimum
rating.
Nominal Frequency : 50 Hz
Frequency range : + 2%
Please refer to selectable range of Inverter
given in point 4.3 & 4.8

In the event that the critical load must be transferred to the bypass source due to an overload,
the UPS system logic monitors the overload condition and, upon the overload being cleared,
perform an automatic re-transfer back to the inverter output. The UPS system logic shall
only allow a re-transfer to occur three times within a ten minute period. Re-transfer shall be
inhibited on the fourth transfer due to the likelihood of a recurring problem at the UPS load
distribution. The re-transfer a load to the inverter shall also be inhibited due to the
limitations set in section 5.3.
The UPS shall be capable of transferring the critical load to / from the bypass source via
LCD touch panel. When performing manual transfer to inverter or automatic re-transfers,
the UPS system logic shall force the inverter output voltage to match the bypass input
voltage and then parallel the inverter and bypass source providing a make-before-break
transition allowing a controlled walk-in of load current to the inverter.
The UPS shall include as standard equipment, a zero energy maintenance bypass switch.
Full UPS wrap-around enables personnel to do work inside the UPS module or maintenance
bypass switchboard without danger fro high voltage conditions.
a. Under normal operation, the UPS load will be fed from the Inverter with the bypass
switch inhibited. The Converter, apart from providing DC power to the Inverter,
also charges the battery under the float charge mode. The battery charge system
shall have float charge, equalising charge and recovery charge modes, to replenish

is within synchronising limit and if the frequency of the standby source exceeds the
synchronising limit the Inverter will work on its own internal oscillator maintaining
an output frequency of 50 Hz +/- 0.01% under all conditions of load. When the
Inverter operates on its internal oscillator, it shall continuously monitor the
frequency of the input source and when the input source frequency returns to within
synchronisation limit, the Inverter shall automatically synchronise itself with the
input A/C source frequency and use it as a signal for Inverter output frequency
control.
c. Battery Operation:
i) When the A/C input voltage drops below specified limits or in case of a
power failure the Inverter continues to supply AC power of constant
voltage and constant frequency utilising the battery system as a power
source until the input voltage returns to normal requirement. When the
power supply is resumed or the input voltage returns to limits, the
Converter shall automatically start and the load fed for normal operation
status.
ii) If the power failure continues beyond battery back up time or the battery
voltage drops to the final discharge voltage, the Inverter should
automatically stop and at the same time transferring the load to the bypass
circuit. On resumption of power supply, the Converter shall automatically
re-start the operations and charge the batteries whereas the Inverter should
inhibit automatic start and should be started manually.
d. Bypass Operation:
When power is supplied from the Inverter in synchronisation with the bypass, it
shall accomplish the following:

transfer the load to bypass circuit with no interruption and when the
overload status is cleared it automatically re-transfers the load to Inverter.
ii) When the battery final discharge condition is reached, the load shall
automatically be transferred to the bypass circuit without interruption.
