1.1 SUMMARY
A.
A.
THIS SPECIFICATION DESCRIBES A THREE-PHASE CONTINUOUS DUTY, ON-LINE,
DOUBLE CONVERSION, SOLID-STATE UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEM, HEREAFTER
REFERRED TO AS THE UPS. THE UPS SHALL OPERATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
EXISTING BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO PROVIDE POWER CONDITIONING,
BACK_UP AND DISTRIBUTION FOR CRITICAL ELECTRICAL LOADS. THE UPS SHALL
CONSIST OF, AS REQUIRED BY THE PROJECT, THE UPS MODULE, BATTERY CABINET(S),
AND ACCESSORY CABINET(S) FOR TRANSFORMERS, MAINTENANCE BYPASS, PARALLEL
TIE, AND DISTRIBUTION APPLICATIONS, AND OTHER FEATURES AS DESCRIBED IN THIS
SPECIFICATION.
1.2 UPS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A.
B.
UPS SYSTEM COMPONENTS: THE UPS SYSTEM SHALL CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING
MAIN COMPONENTS:
1. UPS MODULE CONTAINING A RECTIFIER, INVERTER, BATTERY CHARGER, STATIC
BYPASS, AND ASSOCIATED CONTROL AND MONITOR PANEL.
2. BATTERY STRING(S) IN LINE-AND-MATCH BATTERY CABINETS.
3. NON-MATCHING WALL MOUNTED OR FLOOR STANDING MAINTENANCE BYPASS
CABINETS.
UPS MODULE MODES OF OPERATION: THE UPS MODULE SHALL OPERATE AS AN
ON-LINE, FULLY AUTOMATIC SYSTEM IN THE FOLLOWING MODES:
1. NORMAL: UTILIZING COMMERCIAL AC POWER, THE CRITICAL LOAD SHALL BE
CONTINUOUSLY SUPPLIED BY THE INVERTER. THE INVERTER SHALL POWER THE
LOAD WHILE REGULATING BOTH VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY. THE RECTIFIER
SHALL DERIVE POWER FROM THE COMMERCIAL AC SOURCE AND SHALL SUPPLY
DC POWER TO THE INVERTER. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE BATTERY CHARGER SHALL
CHARGE THE BATTERY.
2. BATTERY: UPON FAILURE OF THE COMMERCIAL AC POWER, THE CRITICAL LOAD
SHALL CONTINUE TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE INVERTER, WHICH SHALL OBTAIN
POWER FROM THE BATTERIES WITHOUT ANY OPERATOR INTERVENTION. THERE
SHALL BE NO INTERRUPTION TO THE CRITICAL LOAD UPON FAILURE OR
RESTORATION OF THE COMMERCIAL AC SOURCE.
3. RECHARGE: UPON RESTORATION OF THE AC SOURCE, THE CHARGER SHALL
RECHARGE THE BATTERIES AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE RECTIFIER SHALL
PROVIDE POWER TO THE INVERTER. THIS SHALL BE AN AUTOMATIC FUNCTION
AND SHALL CAUSE NO INTERRUPTION TO THE CRITICAL LOAD.
4. BYPASS: IF THE UPS MODULE MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF THE NORMAL MODE FOR
OVERLOAD, LOAD FAULT, OR INTERNAL FAILURES, THE STATIC BYPASS SWITCH
SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER THE CRITICAL LOAD TO THE COMMERCIAL AC
POWER. RETURN FROM BYPASS MODE TO NORMAL MODE OF OPERATION SHALL
BE AUTOMATIC. NO-BREAK TRANSFER TO AND FROM BYPASS MODE SHALL BE
CAPABLE OF BEING INITIATED MANUALLY FROM THE FRONT PANEL.
5. ENERGY SAVER: THE UPS SHALL CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR THE VOLTAGE AND
FREQUENCY OF THE BYPASS SOURCE. WHEN THE SOURCE PARAMETERS ARE
WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS, THE UPS WILL UTILIZE A MINIMAL/OPTIMAL
COMBINATION OF ITS INTERNAL SUBSYSTEMS TO ENSURE ACCEPTABLE POWER IS
ALWAYS DELIVERED TO THE CRITICAL LOAD, AT A SYSTEM EFFICIENCY OF 99
PERCENT OR GREATER, OVER THE RANGE OF 10 PERCENT TO 100 PERCENT LOAD.
THE ENERGY SAVER SYSTEM SHALL BE ENABLED BY THE USER, AND SHALL BE
(WITHOUT USER INTERVENTION) PROVIDE MAXIMUM POWER CONDITIONING ANY
TIME BYPASS SOURCE VARIATION LEVELS EXCEED PRESET, ADJUSTABLE LIMITS.
WHEN ENERGY SAVER SYSTEM IS UTILIZED, THE UPS MUST ATTENUATE ANSI
C62.41-TYPE LINE TRANSIENTS TO WITHIN IEC AND ITIC LIMITS. THE ENERGY
SAVER SYSTEM SHALL BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN UPSTREAM (UTILITY)
FAULTS AND DOWNSTREAM (LOAD) FAULTS, AND REACT APPROPRIATELY TO
PROTECT AND SUPPORT THE CRITICAL LOAD, WITHOUT INTERRUPTION.

MANUFACTURERS' RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES, AND REFERENCED TO THE APPROPRIATE CABLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND
CIRCUIT OR PAIR NUMBER. CORRECT OR REPAIR ANY FAULTS IN THE WIRING AND RETEST THE CABLE PRIOR TO FINAL ACCEPTANCE.
3. LENGTH - TEST EACH INSTALLED CABLE LINK FOR INSTALLED LENGTH USING A TDR TYPE DEVICE. TEST THE CABLES FROM PATCH
PANEL TO PATCH PANEL, BLOCK TO BLOCK, PATCH PANEL TO OUTLET OR BLOCK TO OUTLET AS APPROPRIATE. THE CABLE LENGTH
WILL CONFORM TO THE MAXIMUM DISTANCES SET FORTH IN THE ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C STANDARD. RECORD CABLE LENGTHS,
REFERENCING THE CABLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND CIRCUIT OR PAIR NUMBER. FOR MULTIPAIR CABLES, RECORD THE SHORTEST
PAIR LENGTH AS THE LENGTH FOR THE CABLE.
D. FOLLOW THE STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED IN ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.
E. PERFORM TESTING WITH A LEVEL IV TESTER. THE BASIC TESTS REQUIRED ARE:
1. WIRE MAP
2. LENGTH
3. ATTENUATION
4. NEXT (NEAR-END CROSSTALK)
5. RETURN LOSS
6. ELFEXT LOSS
7. PROPAGATION DELAY
8. DELAY SKEW
9. PSNEXT (POWER SUM NEAR-END CROSSTALK LOSS)
10. PSELFEXT (POWER SUM EQUAL LEVEL FAR-END CROSSTALK LOSS)
