We Understand The Unique Needs of the Financial Industry
Balancing Availability
And Energy Efficiency In
Financial Data Centers
Major changes are taking place within the financial industry’s
data centers and their IT systems—both on Wall Street and
across the U.S. In the aftermath of the 9-11 terrorist attacks,
the principle of “no single point of failure” redundancy was
expanded to include not only the redundancy in the data
center, but also completely redundant data centers.
This all out approach to redundancy seeks to ensure
that the business does not become crippled if a
data center goes down. This approach has it’s costs,
including the substantial amount of energy required
to power twice as much critical infrastructure.
Now, Facilities and IT professionals are having to
balance deciding major infrastructure changes at a
majority of these data centers to find better, more
efficient ways to achieve high availability in light of
rapidly rising energy costs.
Better, More Efficient Redundancy Through
A Systems Approach
Because Emerson Network Power has a systems
approach to integrating Dynamic Critical
Infrastructure™, we can give financial data center
managers power and protection options that not only
provide significant energy efficiency, but also savings
on equipment and installation.
Our partnership with major switchgear providers is
only part of an intelligently integrated systems team
approach that works extremely well for financial
data centers looking to optimize efficiency. Our
ability to deliver integrated UPS, Power Distribution,
Switching as well as provide a comprehensive
monitoring solution creates a complete solution for
our customers.
Our Partnership With Switchgear
Providers Benefits Financial Data
Centers In Three Key Ways:
1 Best in class, best in the industry service model
2 Easy integration with existing or new Building
Management Systems

demands, Emerson Network Power has created a
systems team approach with its sister companies,
Liebert, ASCO, Aperture and our Switchgear partners.
Through strategic alliances between Emerson Network
Power and switchgear providers, facilities managers and
CIOs get an IT vendor neutral approach to optimizing
data center energy efficiency that starts with IT
equipment and progresses to the support infrastructure.
This holistic approach creates savings and availability
solutions that apply not just to the installation of new
components, but also work seamlessly to manage
energy efficiency within your legacy systems and existing
components without compromising availability.

We Understand The Unique Need For Power
Protection In Manufacturing Environments
The Competitive Advantage
Of High Quality Power
In today’s electronic manufacturing environment of computerdriven robotics, continuous flow lines, variable speed drives, and
interconnected real-time demand/supply chain networks, world-class
manufacturers realize the competitive importance of maintaining
high quality power to keep processes online and protect bottom
line productivity.
The shift to more sensitive electronic components and
computer controlled equipment in the manufacturing
environment has resulted in a huge increase in the number
of data points that must now be tracked and maintained by
a manufacturer. This includes not only electronic process
control on the plant floor, but also real-time demand/
supply chain data —from a single component manufacturer
through assemblers, channels of distribution and right
down to the purchaser’s front door. Consequently, there is
now an even greater need to protect the quality, availability
and reliability of electrical power to operate these systems.
The Impact Of Power Disturbances
Can Be Enormous
The costs to the US industry for power quality faults are
estimated at approximately $80 billion per year, according
to a US Department of Energy report. Power quality faults
cause widespread problems in manufacturing and industrial
environments and can:

The Hidden Costs Of Power Quality Faults
The hidden costs associated with a power quality event
come from the manufacturing or process downtime more
than the duration of the actual power event. For example,
an outage of just a few minutes at a silicon chip fabricator
could lead to 1-11/2 days of downtime at a cost of $500,000
per day in lost productivity.

In Biotech Applications
Sensitive diagnostic and treatment
equipment is essential to proper
patient care.
The integration of IT throughout
healthcare organizations is growing
rapidly. The primary drivers behind this
implementation are improved patient
safety and vastly increased HIPPA
requirements for the storage, retrieval
and security of important patient data.
From agriculture to pharmaceuticals
to zoology, biotechnology is providing
products and processes that are
revolutionizing the way we live. The
cornerstone behind this industry is
the time and resources that you are
dedicating to the research and testing
that will yield even more extraordinary
results. But so much of your work
depends on accuracy in the discovery,
testing and review processes. Many
of these procedures depend on the
continuous, accurate delivery of
electrical power — and maintaining
precise, consistent environmental
conditions for computers and test
equipment within these research and
production facilities.
While the critical nature of medical
electronics may vary, the risk of improper
diagnoses, incomplete procedures,
compromised testing or lost patient
information is present in all applications.
To be fully effective, practitioners must
have complete confidence that the
medical electronics and information
systems they use will be available when
they need them.
In today’s healthcare marketplace,
patients and doctors alike expect
diagnostic information systems to
be available at all times. Electronic
diagnostic results, such as MRIs need
to be gathered, reviewed, and stored
for instant access in a matter of
seconds, not hours or days. Emerson
Network Power provides the intelligent
integration of dynamic infrastructure
to ensure that the power’s always on.
That way, the operational efficiencies
that hospital administrators have built
to improve patient experiences are
always up and running.

We Understand The Unique Needs Of The Telecommunications Industry
Huge Changes In Content
And Delivery Are Impacting
Telecom Data Centers
In the telecommunications industry, it’s anything but business
as usual. In the past, the industry’s data infrastructure was
built on a direct current (DC) architecture inherited from
the old phone company networks which only needed to
carry voice communications. But today, huge changes in the
demand and delivery of digital content are transforming
telecommunications central offices into facilities which
resemble traditional IT data centers. More and more digital AC
powered equipment is being deployed to assist in the four-way
convergence of voice, wireless, video and Internet content now
being served up over digital networks.
The increasing demand for broadband services such as
HDTV, Internet TV, mobile video and VoIP telephony is
beginning to generate tremendous growth in Internet
traffic, as well as the need to build out the Internet
backbone. Telecommunications data centers will
increasingly need additional AC architecture including
faster routers, transfer switches, huge amounts of
additional storage and more fiber optics. An additional
consequence for the data center is a substantial
increase in the need for maintainability, availability
and adaptability in order to deliver the customer
experience that maintains profitability.

Technology Overview
A Solid IT Critical Infrastructure Requires Balancing
Key Performance Concepts
Consider Configurations And Equipment Selections That Balance Tradeoffs
Designing a solid critical infrastructure requires considering power distribution configurations
and equipment selections that balance the concerns of Availability, Adaptability,
Maintainability and Efficiency. The loss of business critical information and services in just
one critical IT power outage could wipe out any savings configured into the installation of
the system, as well as any potential ROI projected from efficiency, maintenance and future
savings. Comprehensive performance monitoring of the key facets of data center operation
help to steadily improve overall availability, efficiency and owner value.
Availability
Availability is a measure of the overall
uptime of the data center. Managing
availability requires balancing the
costs of losing access to information or
services against installing and managing
an infrastructure that supports a
predetermined level of uptime.
Maintainability
Maintainability is an expression
which conveys the ease and risk of
maintaining the power distribution
system while minimizing, or even
eliminating,
the need to shutdown IT equipment
for maintenance and service.
Dynamic
Critical
Infrastructure
Adaptability
Adaptability is an expression of
the power system design’s ability
to accommodate future changes
in equipment, layout, and loads.
Acceptable design is a balance
between initial cost and the potential
cost of implementing future changes
while continuing to meet the other
goals of the data center.
Efficiency
Now more than ever, energy efficiency is
key to any data center. Because certain
power distribution configurations and
equipment selections are more efficient
than others, choices are necessary to
balance between the fundamentals of
availability and efficiency.
2.1
Availability
Achieving The Always On Network
The primary purpose of all uninterruptable power systems is
High Availability Power Systems
to ensure that continuous power is being delivered to the IT
The computing industry talks of availability in terms of “Nines” .
This refers to the percentage of time in a year that their system is
available, on line, and capable of doing productive work. It should
be noted that non-available time also includes any down time
associated with equipment failure or time required for preventive
maintenance or service to the system.
systems and equipment. With the increased reliance on these
IT systems, it is becoming even more important to ensure
that the power delivery systems are suited to the task. Higher
availability systems depend upon the flawless operation of the
systems themselves, as well as the support systems.
Managing the availability of mission critical systems
requires an understanding of the risks and costs
of losing access to business critical information or
services balanced against the cost of achieving a
predetermined level of availability.
Continuous availability of mission-critical systems
rests not only upon flawless operation of the systems
themselves, but on the infrastructure that supports
those systems. Achieving “five nines” network
availability requires installation and management of
an infrastructure that supports continuous availability.
The Uptime Institute first developed the commonly accepted
Tier definitions which established the approximate levels of
availability. A system with four “Nines” is 99.99% available,
meaning that downtime is less that 53 minutes per year. Five
“Nines” (99.999% available) equates to less that 5.3 minutes of
downtime per year. Six “Nines” (99.9999% available) equates to
just 32 seconds of downtimes per year.
Data Center Tier Options
At Emerson Network Power, we take this concept one
step further and speak of the availability of conditioned
power. We encourage our customers to configure their
systems to minimize or completely eliminate exposure
to the unconditioned utility power.

Liebert’s experience has shown that the best performance that
Determining MTBF
can be expected out of a well-designed single bus system is
There Are Two Ways To Determine MTBF:
about 99.999% (“5 Nines”). Experience has also shown that for
many customers, 99.999% availability is not good enough.
How Is Availability Determined?
1. By calculation using established methods (eg: IEEE
Gold Book ) based on a Reliability Block Diagram
2. By field performance measurement
Availability = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR)
MTBF
(Mean Time Between Failures) = Increased Reliability
MTTR
(Mean Time To Repair) = Fast Recovery
Or essentially …Uptime / (UpTime + DownTime)
Improving Availability means improving MTBF
and/or reducing MTTR. However, this will not
yield the significant improvement truely critical
operations need to go beyond 99.999%.
Liebert uses the RBD calculation method for new
designs, and performance data from our large
installed base for field measurement
Field-observed MTBF over a time period =
(Total tracked installed base operating hours)/
(Total Critical Bus outages)
A typical value for MTBF is: 2,500,000 hours
Including travel time and assuming worst case,
a typical value for MTTR is 24 hours.
Then Availability = 2,500,000 / (2,500,000 + 24)
Reliability Math Shows Us How To Improve
Availability By Paralleling UPS Systems
For Redundancy
= 99.999%, or “5 nines”.
For paralleled systems, the paralleled system MTBF
= MTBF1+MTBF2+((MTBF1xMTBF2)/MTTR).
Using our prior values, this yields a calculated MTBF
of 2,600,000,000,000 hours.
Calculating Availability = 99.99999999%, or “10
nines”. In a practical sense, due to other series
components needed in paralleled (“dual bus”)
systems, achieving 7-9 nines is more typical.

Maintenance strategies often focus on choosing the
right source so that power is not lost to the data center
if a power quality event occurs during maintenance of
the system. Strategies may include:
Shutdown UPS and critical bus for service
Service UPS with the critical distribution
on maintenance bypass
Service one UPS module at a time
Service one redundant UPS and distribution
path at a time.
2.4
Maintainability
Dual Bus Compatibility
Some UPS topologies are not compatible with
dual-bus power systems, which are now considered
industry “Best Practice.” Dual-bus power systems
feature two or more independent UPS systems
powering two or more independent power
distribution systems. Each item of load equipment,
then, has access to both power distribution systems.
Loads with dual power cords can directly utilize both
systems. Single-corded loads require an upstream
Static Transfer Switch, so they can be switched
between distribution systems should one falter.
However, these load transfers are better if the UPS
systems are synchronized under all conditions,
including on-battery operation. Certain UPS
topologies cannot sync to anything except their
own input sources.
Concurrent Maintenance
The ideal situation is to be able to service portions
of the UPS system while other portions continue
to provide conditioned power to the connected
load. A multi-module, parallel-redundant
system enables a certain amount of concurrent
maintenance on the UPS power modules.
However, even a multi-module system needs to be
completely powered down at least once per year for
maintenance extending back to the building service
entrance. Only a dual-bus system can be powered
down while the other system supports the critical
load with conditioned UPS power.
Internal And External Maintenance
Bypass Circuits
Every UPS needs to be de-energized for periodic
maintenance and repairs. All three-phase UPS
products should have some type of internal
maintenance bypass circuits, to enable the load to
operate on conditioned generator power while the
UPS is removed from service. These circuits typically
include the internal bypass static switch plus either
switches, contractors or circuit breakers. These
switching devices must work in concert to reliably
transfer the load between the bypass line and the
UPS inverter output, and back again when required.
In addition, high-availability systems should have
external “wraparound” maintenance bypass
cabinets, panelboards or switchboards to allow the
UPS to be completely
de-energized for annual preventive maintenance.

Adaptability
Principles, Strategies, Choices
Data centers are continually changing and
evolving based on the needs of the underlying
business.
Data centers are typically designed to a
particular tier level (as originally defined by

Liebert has done extensive research on how data
centers can increase efficiency. We have found that
while designing and building data centers, small
changes to equipment inside the datacenter can have
profound impacts on the overall energy consumption
of the datacenter. As provided by the Liebert
Whitepaper “Energy Logic: A Roadmap for Reducing
Energy Consumption in the Data Center”, A cascading
effect is possible by selecting the proper IT equipment
and enabling power management features.

Analysis of a typical 5000-square-foot data center shows that demand-side computing
equipment accounts for 52% of energy usage and supply-side system account for 48%.
The Cascade Effect
With the Cascade Effect, a 1 Watt savings at the server component level
creates a reduction in facility energy consumption of 2.84 Watts.

The Key Benefits To IT And Data
Center Managers
developed by Emerson Network Power. For Data Center
and IT Managers, Energy Logic provides a sequential
1. The most effective strategy to save energy
approach to energy optimization that starts with IT equipment
Start with reducing losses/ consumption at the IT
equipment level and work your way back through
the supporting equipment
and moves through to support infrastructure to create a
cascade of savings.
Every watt saved at the equipment level has a
cascading effect upstream
Each step in the process is attached to quantified
savings and an estimated time to return on
investment that is based on research and modeling.
2. As you reduce energy consumption, make
sure you do not compromise on Availability
& Flexibility

Tiers Of Protection
Power Distribution Configurations For Availability
The Mission Critical Power Distribution industry has adopted commonly accepted definitions of basic
power distribution arrangements required to achieve essential levels (“Tiers”) of Availability and
Maintainability. First proposed by the Uptime Institute as Tiers 1-4, the availability levels continue to
be used widely, and they have subsequently become standard TIA 942 (Telecommunications Industry
Association). Liebert has added “Tier 0” for its own use.
Basic Definitions Of Tier 0 - Tier 4
Tier 0
Power Conditioning and generator back-up power. Requires off-line maintenance.
Tier 1Basic UPS system with one path for power delivery and no redundancy.
Requires off-line maintenance for many components.
Tier 2Basic UPS System with one path for power delivery and some redundant components.
Requires off-line maintenance for some components.
Tier 3UPS System with redundancy and multiple active power delivery paths. Concurrent
maintenance possible with critical operations on generator or alternate path.
Tier 4Fully redundant UPS System with redundant active power delivery paths for fault tolerance.
Concurrent maintenance possible with critical operations on the redundant UPS system.

Expanded Dual Bus - Reference System Scenario
The Tier 3 solution introduces a true dual path for power. The basic layout relies heavily
on the UPS while the second path is only used during maintenance and outages and
normally operates with no load. The implementation of Primary or Secondary side STSs
provides power to both distributor paths at all times. The use of STSs has increased with the
introduction of dual corded servers. Servers in the today’s data center have the ability to
be fed from two different sources. Even though the servers may have dual cords, that does
not ensure that the servers will run on only one cord. Based on this, it is imperative to have
continuous UPS power delivered to both cords of the server.

Power Transfer Switches
As part of a power control system or independently
operating in parallel, the power transfer switch is a
workhorse. It transfers the load while providing
protection to both the generators and the
downstream power distribution components.
ASCO 7000 Series Power Transfer Switches
are the most sophisticated power
switching systems in the world. They offer
the most advanced method for transferring
motors, electronic drives, UPS’s and
microprocessor based systems.
The transfer switch is the only link between utility power
and on-site power. It always carryies power to
business-critical loads, regardless of which power source
is “hot.” It also can parallel power sources.
ASCO provides standard design, business-critical
and highly custom engineered power transfer
solutions that satisfy virtually any data center’s
requirement for reliable power.
ASCO 7000 Series Automatic Transfer Switches
are ideal for emergency, standby or prime power,
peak shaving, and managing load demand
and prioritizing loads.
Select from a range of operational modes:
bypass-isolation, soft load transfer, closed
transition transfer, open transition transfer,
delayed transition transfer, service entrance
rated transfer and three source transfer.

UPS Input & Distribution Switchgear
Critical load switchgear protects sensitive
electronic loads from serious power disturbances
UPS Systems work best when they are integrated
with the switchgear that distributes their power
to the critical loads
All Switchgear designed for use with UPS systems
needs to meet the proper standards from UL and
other safety agencies
A UPS system is only as good as it’s ability to deliver
the power to the critical loads. Switchgear provides
those key delivery paths as well as additional features
which allow for servicing and maintenance of the
critical power equipment.
The primary function of switchgear in a
mission critical power system is electrical
power distribution throughout the facility.
However, switchgear also provides the
Please see our Switchgear Technical Reference
Section for additional detail.

As with other electrical equipment, electrical power distribution
equipment also requires provisions for de-energization for periodic
maintenance and service. As a second function, circuit breakers, also
utilized as on/off switches, provide this isolating requirement. Due to
the need to keep critical IT equipment and services operational 7x24,
critical power systems are also equipped with alternative power paths
to the critical IT operations while various segments of the critical power
system are shut down for maintenance and service. The third key
function provided by switchgear design is providing physically and
electrically isolatable components and alternative / bypass power paths
for safe and reliable maintenance procedures. And perhaps fourth, but
not least, switchgear equipment provides voltage and current sensing
points for performance monitoring equipment. In the critical power
path, there are principal power distribution switchgear functions which
have somewhat performance requirements. While this discussion
primarily focuses on switchgear directly connected to UPS systems,
they all are listed following (with reference to the diagrams above):
facility service entrance medium voltage switchgear; facility service
entrance low voltage switchgear; secondary low voltage distribution;
genset paralleling equipment and switchgear; automatic transfer
switch; essential services (which includes the UPS modules);
non-essential services (loads which can accept a power outage); UPS
input / bypass / output switchgear; data center power distribution
equipment to the IT rack.

Siemens SENTRON
Front Connected Switchboards
These switchboards provide the rugged construction
and service flexibility necessary in systems for
industrial plants, high-rise complexes, hospitals, and
commercial buildings, and are built to UL 891 and
NEMA PB-2 standards.
Every aspect of design of the Siemens
SENTRON Type IPS has been aimed at
improving layout convenience, reducing
installation costs, and minimizing the impact
and cost of system changes.
Whether the design is for a 240V ac, 400 ampere
system; a 600V ac, 6000 ampere system; or
something in between, Siemens switchboards should
be considered.
The SB1 switchboard has been specifically
designed for those applications where floor
space is at a premium.
Siemens SB2 switchboard can have extra depth
behind the vertical bus in each distribution section,
and contains main protective devices and
through-bus rated up to 4000 amperes at 600V ac.
The SB3 switchboard is available with
main bus up to 6000 amperes.
Service Sections
Typical switchboards require one or more service main disconnects. The
main disconnects are mounted into a Service Section and typically feed one
or more distribution sections. In some applications, the main service
disconnect is required to be located remote to distribution portion of the
equipment and is considered a Remote Main. Service sections can be fed by
a variety of means such as cable, busway, vault stubs, and transformers.
Utility Metering
In addition to the main disconnect, the service section usually contains
utility metering provisions. “Hot” metering (current transformers on the
line side of the main disconnect) is normal, but “cold” metering provisions
(current transformers on the load side of main disconnect) can also be
furnished. Whether hot or cold metering is required, the current
transformers provided by the utility company will be mounted in a
completely separate compartment.
SENTRON Series Molded Case Circuit Breakers
Standard Interrupting
Standard interrupting capacity up to 65,000 AIC thermal-magnetic breakers,
400-1200 amperes, 240V, 480V or 600V ac, provide protection that allows
“immediate restoration of power” for normal system requirements. A wide
range of accessory options are available, including shunt trip, motor
operator, auxiliary switches, alarm switches, and others.
High Interrupting
High-interrupting-capacity up to 200,000 AIC thermal-magnetic breakers,
400-2000 amperes, 240V, 480V or 600V ac, provide increased protections
where high available fault currents exist, with the same convenience and
accessory features offered in standard interrupting capacity breakers.

One of the many safety aspects of the WL is a unique
option called Dynamic Arc-Flash Sentry (DAS). Changes
in local codes and increasing safety requirements to
protect electrical equipment operators from Arc Flash
can be addressed with DAS. This capability in the WL
comes from the ability to easily toggle between a
normal ‘optimized’ set of trip parameters to an
alternate ‘safety’ set of trip parameters that lowers
the level of arc flash energy.
Monitoring
Proven Technology Accepted in All Markets
Siemens WL Power Circuit Breakers offer user flexibility in a modular
design that is suited for the most demanding power protection
applications. With only three physical sizes, the WL breakers cover a
power range from 200A through 5000A with overlapping interrupt
ratings reducing the need for numerous spare breakers. All models
use identical options and accessories making service of replacement
parts fast and simple.
Availability
Thanks to advance technology the WL has the ability to early detect
critical system states and automatic alarm conditions. The
intelligence of the WL begins with its Electronic Trip Unit (ETU) which
is self-powered through load current which it constantly monitors
and checks against the wide range of system designer selectable trip
settings for maximum overload protection and uptime coordination.
Furthermore the ETU can sense each phase, neutral and ground
circuit at 1.6MHz of processing power to that can be used to
automatically trigger an event like warnings, alarms and breaker trip.
Reliability
In addition to intelligence the WL ETU allows optimum use of the
breakers interrupt frame rating. This is a patented technology called
Extended Instantaneous Protection (EIP). EIP allows the system
designer to achieve full selective trip coordination up to the
short-time rating of the frame while also allowing the breaker to be
applied up to the interrupt rating of the frame. For example, the
typical power circuit breaker with a “LS” trip unit or one with “LSI”
and instantaneous (I) turned off, can only be applied up to it’s
maximum short-time rating, commonly 85K or less. For systems
with a higher fault level than the short-time available the typical “LS”
cannot be applied or it must employ an instantaneous over-ride that
can exceed 20% below the short-time rating. Such a situation can
seriously compromise selective trip coordination with downstream
breakers, reducing the distribution system level’s reliability.
3.16
In addition to measuring current values supplied by
the trip unit, the optional metering function provides
measured values of the power distribution system
required for Power Management (voltage, power,
THD, etc.). Multiple high and low user set-points can
monitor those values and generate warnings or system
alerts which can significantly increase up-time. All of
this diagnostic information can be ported from the
WL onto any network for real-time remote monitoring
and data archiving.
Standards
WL breakers have been certified to meet or exceed
the UL1066, UL489, ANSI C37.13/.16/.17/.50 and CSA
C22.2. These breakers are suitable for use in UL1558
Switchgear and UL891 Switchboards.

3.23
Liebert Series 610™, 100 - 1000 kVA On-Line UPS
MULTIPLE MODULE SYSTEM (MMS)
Designed For Maximum Reliability
Reliability starts with the ability to keep your critical load on-line and
protected. The enhanced fault current management capabilities of the
Liebert Series 610 are designed to do just that. The Liebert Series 610 is
designed for immediate response to utility outages “plus” high overload
capacity “plus” adaptive response to other critical bus fault conditions.
The system will manage faults occurring upstream and downstream
from the UPS as well as internal to the UPS.
Pulse-Parallel Operation
The overload handling characteristics of the Liebert Series 610
are also enhanced through the use of pulse-parallel operation.
When an overload condition, such as transformer inrush current
or a branch load circuit fault, exceeds 155% of the full load current rating, the static bypass switch pulses on. This allows up to

Time
The curve represents UPS overload capability as a function of time. The
inverter remains on-line providing regulated power output at full voltage
at every point of the overload/ time curve.
A fault is managed in this order of priority:
Single Module System
First priority
Manage an internal fault within the UPS module without the critical
bus exceeding voltage limits and without transfer to bypass.
Second priority
If the fault or overcurrent cannot be handled internally by the module,
then transfer the critical bus to the bypass source without exceeding
voltage limits.
Multi-Module System
First priority
Manage an internal fault within the UPS module without the critical bus
exceeding voltage limits and without transfer to bypass.
Second priority
If the fault cannot be handled internally to the module and redundant
modules are present, disconnect that module from the critical bus
without exceeding voltage limits and without transfer to bypass.
Third priority
If fault or overcurrent cannot be handled by the remaining modules
on-line, then transfer the critical bus to the bypass source without
exceeding voltage limits.
3.24
Critical BUS Management
The system offers three levels of protection to keep the critical
bus operating while maintaining operation within industry
recommended limits. Voltage levels outside these limits can
cause erratic or incorrect operation of critical customer
equipment. The system is designed to better discriminate
between undervoltage conditions — due to an external or
internal overload fault event — that can be managed without
a transfer to bypass.
The bypass source is in parallel with the UPS output, permitting
the bypass source to carry the initial overload current. If the
overload clears, a complete load transfer to bypass is
not made. If the overload condition exceeds the inverter capacity, the automatic transfer is completed, maintaining the load
voltage within specified limits. The use of pulsed static switch
operation provides a simple, reliable response to brief output
bus dynamic overload conditions and reduces nuisance transfer/
retransfer cycles for short-term conditions. Liebert UPS systems
also use a motor-operated circuit breaker in parallel with the
bypass static switch in order to provide an additional level of
critical output bus availability.
Digital Control Accuracy
The reliability and performance of the Liebert Series 610 UPS
is enhanced through the use of digital control and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for key control logic
functions. These computer-tested controls also provide self
diagnostics and greatly reduce the parts count and number of
interconnect points.

isolate individual battery strings of battery systems other
than Liebert manufactured battery packs for maintenance.
Each BIS is housed in a NEMA-1 enclosure. 600-1200A BIS
enclosures are designed for wall mounting. 1400-1600A
enclosures are designed for floor mounting.
DC Junction Box
Systems with two or more flywheel cabinets or battery
strings in parallel may require an external DC Junction Box.
The junction box is a wall-mounted cabinet with bus bars
for attaching positive, negative and ground cables. Each
bus bar has pairs of holes for mounting two-hole compression lugs.
Liebert® FS™
Batteryless DC Energy Storage
When the primary power source goes down, it’s vital
that the UPS has a reliable DC power source to deliver
energy to the critical loads. The Liebert FS stores
energy kinetically via flywheel inertia rather than relying
on chemical reactions of toxic lead and sulfuric acid
The Liebert FS is a high-efficiency, high
reliability alternative to UPS battery string
systems. It is used as the sole back-up DC
energy storage device or to protect
conventional battery strings from cycling.
Just like individual batteries, high-power
Liebert FS modules may be strung together
to deliver higher capacity longer power
Reliable: More than 10 times greater
reliability than that of batteries
Lower Cost: Lifecycle own & operate costs
less than half that of batteries
Sustainable & Environmentally Responsible:
Exceptional energy efficiency and no hazardous
materials or GHG emissions
Highest Reliability & Availability:
Hundreds of fielded units and more than two million hours of
reliable operation have proven a 10-fold increase in single-unit
reliability over VRLA batteries
99.998% uptime availability: Total recommended downtime
maintenance over its 20-year design life is only 6 hours
Multiple module and/or battery-parallel installations
deliver even higher reliability and availability
Lowest Total Cost Of Ownership:
Less than half the life cycle costs when used as an
alternative to batteries.
If used with batteries, extends UPS battery life by isolating
them from at least 99% of all cycling.
Net present value nearly 1/3 that of VRLA batteries
Saves more than $150,000 per module deployed over design life
requirements, longer ridethrough,
and/or N+1 redundancy.
The award-winning Liebert FS DC energy storage
system is designed to interface with larger Liebert
UPS systems, from 50 kVA to over 1 MVA. A single
Liebert FS battery-free unit provides 190 kW of
continuous DC ridethrough power for 10 seconds,
or longer at lower loads, before gradually handing
off to a backup generator. The Liebert FS carries a
solid 5-year warranty, has half the footprint and a
quarter the weight of a comparable capacity
5-minute VRLA string, needs no HVAC and its
built-in comprehensive real-time self-monitoring
is Liebert SiteScan compatible.
Green and Highly Efficient:
Each unit mitigates the use of toxic lead and sulfuric acid
Each unit deployed saves 20,000 kilowatt-hours of energy
every year over competing products

Liebert® FS™
Batteryless DC Energy Storage
Own & Operate Cost
Seconds vs. Minutes of Ridethrough
According to EPRI studies, 99% of power
disturbances last less than 10 seconds.
Diesel gensets are all capable of starting and
accepting load in less 10 seconds.
UPS energy storage is commonly specified for
5 minutes or more
Cost Savings
Initial cost of a Liebert FS is typically higher than an
equivalent 5-minute set of 40 monitored VRLA batteries. However, VRLA batteries require downtime inspection,
testing, maintenance/individual jar replacement every
quarter and complete string replacements every 3-5
years. The Liebert FS has six, one-hour planned
maintenance events over 20 years.
Inclusive of all initial costs, energy use, maintenance and
replacement costs, typical ROI is within 3 years and
yields more than $150,000 in cost savings per module
deployed as shown above.
NPV of the Liebert FS costs are far less than half that
of VRLA batteries.
That extra time is wasted, as racks drawing 10 kW or more overheat if generator power to cooling
systems isn’t up in less than 60 seconds.
IEEE Gold Book confirms 99.5% diesel genset
start reliability (circa 1980s): far greater reliability
than battery strings.
Modern gensets, properly maintained, exhibit
significantly higher start reliability.
Like an old string of Christmas lights, one bad
cell in a string of 240 battery cells will render the
entire string inoperable. In a paralleled string of
several Liebert FSs, if one module were ever to drop out, the others would continue to carry the load.
The own & operate cost comparison above does not
include the many additional ancillary costs related to
batteries, such as HVAC equipment, eye wash stations
and other health & safety costs, floorspace costs,
weight reinforcement, explosive gas sensors,
acid-spill containment, etc.

The Liebert FS stores energy kinetically. When needed, inertia of the
spinning mass is immediately converted to power. The Liebert FS is
a functional replacement or supplement for a bank of chemical
batteries. Like batteries, it charges from the two terminal UPS DC
bus and returns up to 190 kW per module whenever the bus
voltage drops below a programmable threshold.
The flywheel itself is a high-speed, carbon fiber composite cylinder
rotating in a vacuum. The flywheel and rotating group is fully
levitated and centered by patented 5-point magnetic levitation
system that minimizes drag and eliminates mechanical bearings
maintenance and replacement. Its synchronous reluctance
motor-generator minimizes idling losses and standby power
consumption. Originally designed for hybrid vehicles, the levitation
system is very robust and responsive to any jarring.

Ultracapacitors
About the size of soda cans for this application, ultracaps are rated for
about 2.4 volts per capacitor. Consequently, it would take 225 capacitors
in series to reach the 540 VDC requirement for UPS applications. It would
take multiple strings in parallel to equal the performance of the flywheel,
and would be substantially more expensive. There are no commercially
available ultracapacitor systems available for UPS systems of similar ratings.
Fuel Cells
In this power range fuel cells are better suited as primary power sources rather
than as a standby source. Depending on the technology utilized, fuel cells
can take minutes to hours to be ready to deliver power from turn-on. In this
power range fuel cells are very expensive, have a relatively short life (only
1000s of hours) before overhaul, and have a poor dynamic response.
Other Battery Chemistries
Nickle-cadmium (NiCad) batteries have been available for many years.
In UPS applications, they are best suited for extreme temperature
conditions. NiCad batteries (~1.2 v/cell) in general are not suited for
UPS applications - they are often five times as expensive and have a number
of less than desirable performance and maintenance characteristics.
3.32
Driven by electric vehicle applications, Nickle-metal
hydride (NiMh) and lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries have
an high energy density and weight and may have a
future in UPS applications as costs drop.
Microturbines
Microturbines are often found as the source for
combined heat and power (CHP) systems. In a CHP
application, microturbines can reach 80% efficiency
compared to the 40-60% efficiency typically achieved
with generators. Microturbines are better suited to
prime power applications (utility is the backup) due to
the time lag required for start-up.

Liebert® STS2™
Static Transfer Switch
For data centers with dual bus distribution, the
installation of an static transfer switch can provide
redundancy for single corded loads.
For maximum availability applications, the
Liebert STS2 static transfer switch provides
an automatic, seamless transfer between
your critical load and the outputs of two
independent UPS systems in a dual-bus
power configuration. If the primary UPS
should fail, the switch will automatically
transfer the loads to the alternate UPS.
Simplified installation with ample space for cable
connections through top and bottom access plates.
Simplified maintenance with all key components
visible, serviceable, and removeable from the
front of the unit without the need to shut
down the connected load.
Three separate, self correcting logic modules
capable of working independently for redundancy.
Easy-to-use color touch-screen interface with
pop-up menus which provide a wealth of
operational and diagnostic information.
Flexibility:
Front access to all components provides simplifies installation and maintenance, and reduces amount of floorspace required for access.
Internal CANBUS protocol: high-bandwidth communication
between system components via twisted-pair cables. Options can
be added as simple network nodes.
Patented optimized transfer algorithm that allows out of phase
transfers on transformers while eliminating transformer in-rush
Higher Availability:
Triple redundant logic with dual power feeds.
Standard on-unit monitoring and optional centralized monitoring capability provide continuous system visibility.
100% rated, fuseless design.
Hot-swappable circuit breakers.
Flash memory enables firmware updates while supporting
critical load.
Rack-out control/power assembly on units up to 600A to allow maintenance, service or full replacement without disrupting
the critical load.
Lowest Total Cost Of Ownership:
When applied as primary side switching, cost are lower due to
requiring only one power distribution unit, a lower current due to 480V vs. 208V, and lower installation and wiring cost.

Albér Battery Monitoring
Batteries are often seen as the weak link in the
critical infrastructure. A battery monitoring system
provides a great deal of information on the status and
health of the battery system and provides assurances
that the batteries can handle an emergency load.
Liebert offers the latest in UPS battery
monitoring technology with products
by Albér — a leader in the field since 1972.
Albér technologies by Liebert are designed
to prevent battery failure, optimize
useful battery life, reduce maintenance
cost and increase safety.
Mission critical technology fuels the global economy
24/7, 365 days a year. Downtime, even a few critical
minutes, can cost you millions of dollars. As a
precaution, many large enterprises invest heavily
in backup power systems with highly sophisticated
electronics and generators. The reality, however, is
that these high priced systems are completely
dependent upon full-functioning batteries. If these
batteries fail before the generator kicks in, power will
be lost and valuable raw material and production time
will be wasted. Critical data can be erased, not to
mention the costly aftereffects of downtime in
business communications.
The moment you realize that your batteries are the
main cause for costly downtime, and that there is a
solution for this problem, you will have made a huge
step towards protecting your enterprise bottom line.
Battery testing using patented Internal DC
resistance test method which provides the
most accurate battery status available.
Real time and historic data provides a base
for predicting potential failure conditions
and remaining battery life.
Ability to utilize batteries longer without the
replacement of full battery strings based on
the calculated performance criteria and the
internal battery condition.
A Variety Of Solutions For Testing Flexibility
Liebert offers a variety of battery monitoring system sizes and
capabilities to meet a wide range of applications. These include
monitoring and diagnostic units for UPS battery cabinets and large
multi-cell configurations, as well as telecom and stationary battery
systems. Handheld testing devices combine maximum portability
with full-featured battery data measurement and storage.
Early Warning For Battery Problems
Like an ultrasound for a battery, this technology lets you “look inside”
and assess its true state of health. Liebert battery monitors use a
patented Internal DC resistance test method that bypasses the
limitations of outdated AC based impedance testing. By tracking
internal resistance, the system can predict and report failing
conditions prior to complete failure. A time-to-go estimate algorithm,
which uses discharge parameters and internal resistance readings,
assists in predicting remaining battery life. It is essential to detect
deterioration at an early stage to prevent catastrophic failures.
Other battery monitors’ internal ohmic readings become inconsistent
as the UPS load varies because of variations in AC ripple on the battery.
The Liebert DC resistance test method is not influenced by ripple
and thus provides data that is repeatable and reflects the true
condition of the battery.
Optimizing Useful Battery Life
Sealed batteries are sensitive to temperature and float voltage
settings, which means battery life can be extended by optimizing
these conditions. A battery monitor provides the user with
information such as temperature and cell voltages, allowing for cost
savings by optimizing useful battery life. Instead of waiting for an
inevitable failure or replacing batteries prematurely to prevent
problems, you can continue to utilize your batteries longer and with
confidence by knowing the true internal condition.

based on their levels of responsibility:
IT Manager
The person responsible for the operation of the computer system must also be very
aware of the threats to its operation. This makes getting key operating information to
this individual a critical objective of any monitoring plan.
Network
Because a network can be contained in just one facility or spread across numerous locations
coast-to-coast, managers must be able to monitor the performance and operating status of
key support equipment no matter where it is located. These systems should also be able to
interface with an existing network management system for expanded monitoring capability.
Data Center
Those responsible for the operation of large data or telecommunications centers must be
aware of all protective infrastructure within these facilities. They need up-to-the minute
information that will allow them to keep systems operating – no matter what the situation.
Facility
These people are interested in the performance of critical operations in the context of an
entire facility. Events in one area of a facility can directly affect operation of critical
systems in another and vice versa.
Enterprise
Multiple sites mean multiple responsibilities for those in charge of an enterprise-wide network and communications system. They need to know the status of many remote
locations in order to keep the entire organization working smoothly.

The Necessity Of Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance benefits you by:
Delivering “high 9’s” reliability by adding another layer of
redundancy. This is achieved by combining industry-leading service
with cutting-edge equipment.
Extending product lifecycle and optimizing capital
expenditure for the equipment.
Providing risk management at a fixed cost, which aids in budget
preparation and promotes fiscal responsibility; the typical UPS
agreement will be less than 10% of the initial hardware cost.
Giving you better control of your business environment–proactive
management rather than a reaction to circumstances.

Protect Your Bottom Line Too
One way end users can further minimize unit-related failures
is to institute a comprehensive PM program that is implemented
by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) trained and
certified technicians such as those with Emerson Network
Power Liebert Services.
The PM safety factor for Emerson Network Power trained and
certified Customer Engineers (CE) is extremely high—it has been
calculated to be one CE caused failure for every 5,000 PM events.
This high level of quality service from Liebert engineers stems
from the fact that all Liebert CEs are continuously trained in order
to be up-to-date with new procedures, equipment, designs and
updates that have been made. Furthermore, each Liebert CE uses
OEM specified testing equipment which accurately collects Liebert
equipment data within the specified limits of the calibration
procedures. Therefore, it can be concluded that the risk of human
error is minimal when Liebert trained personnel access the system.
Emerson Network Power Liebert Services is your source
for preventive maintenance for your critical Liebert power
system. We offer a variety of plans to suit you specific needs
for system availability.
Increase in MTBF When Compared To No Preventative Maintenance
This analysis is a preliminary look at the connection
between preventive maintenance and UPS system
reliability for Liebert equipment. It indicates that the
number of preventive maintenance visits and the service
engineer’s level of training have a substantial impact on
system reliability. The research supports Emerson’s
recommendation of at least two PM visits per year, but
also makes the case for more PM visits for data centers
where downtime is unacceptable. Depending on the
cost of downtime for a particular application, a high
return on investment can be realized in many cases by
increasing PM frequency.
4.10
Regular OEM preventative maintenance increases
the mean-time between failures. For instance,
the MTBF for a system that receives one annual
PM is 10 times greater than a system that
receives zero PM.
By contrast, a system that receives four annual
PMs, as opposed to zero PMs, increases its
duration between failures by 51 times.
Data is based on MTBF analysis for three-phase UPS
systems (≥ 100kVA) with an Emerson Network
Power service agreement between 2002 and 2007.
