voltage ranges.
3. if the single rated current is marked on the marking plate then it compared with the higher value of input current measured
at associated rated voltages.
4. if two rated currents are marked on the marking plate separated by hyphen then it compared with the two values of input
current measured at associated rated voltages.
5. if the equipment is intended for direct connection to an ac mains supply then take tolerances
 +6% and -10% on rated voltage above 230v.
 +10% and -10% on rated voltage 230v single phase or 400v three-phase.
6. if the equipment is intended connection to a dc mains supply then take tolerance

Note:
a) Recharging mode-Applicable to the primary power received by the UPS while also charging the battery.
b) Stored energy mode- Applicable to DC current from, for example, a remote battery while simulating primary power outside.
c) Bypass mode
d) Normal mode- with a fully charged battery, the UPS should receive power from the primary power source.
While supplying rated output under each of the conditions described in a) to d), the relevant AC or DC steady state input current should

4.7.20 to 5.1.3 Energy hazards N/A Pass Fail Date:

Test Requirement:
No risk of injury due to an energy hazard in an operator access area.
Method:
1. Select two or more bare parts (one which may be earthed) between which a hazardous energy level exist, that will be bridged by a metallic
object.
2. Check of Likelihood of hazards parts under consideration is determined by means of the test finger 2A in straight position. It should not
possible to bridge the part with the test finger without appreciable force for the compliance to the test.
3. Operate the equipment in normal operating conditions, connect variable resistive load connected to the part under consideration and adjust
the level of 240VA by adjusting variable load. If it is necessary to maintain 240VA for 60s for that adjust the variable resistive load. If
240VA energy is maintained for 60s it will be considered as hazardous energy level. (Refer note 1)
4. Measure voltage across the capacitor and calculate stored energy (Refer note 2) and check whether calculated energy exceeds 20J then that
energy is treated as hazardous.
Note:
1. If the measured voltage is 2V or more it will consider as hazardous energy level unless an overcurrent protective devices opens during
operation or any other reason due to which 240VA power will not be maintain for 60s.
2. The store energy in the capacitor is at hazardous energy level if voltage is 2V or more. Store energy E is calculated by using following
formula.
E=0.5 CU2 X 10-6
Where,
U = voltage across capacitor in volts (V),
C = capacitance in microfarad ( F)
E = Energy Measured in joules (J).
2. Disconnect the power source before servicing or preparing electrical.
3. Make use of tools and equipment with non-conducting hands when working on electrical devices.

 Faults in any components in primary circuits.
 Faults in any components where failure could adversely affect supplementary insulation or reinforced insulation.
 For the equipment that does not comply with the requirements of 4.7.1/RD and 4.7.2/RD, faults in all components.
 faults arising from connection of the most unfavorable load impedance to terminals and connectors that deliver power or signal
outputs from the equipment, other than main power outlets.
4. A ups having ventilation shall be operated in the normal mode with the rotor of a blower motor or fan locked and if the UPS having more
than one blower motor or fan, lock one at a time.
5. The test are applied one at a time with the equipment operating at rated voltage or at the upper limit of the rated voltage range.
6. Temperature in the transformer supplying the component under the test shall not exceed those specified in Annex C/RD.

2. Hold anti fire system in your lab
3. Please stay away when testing is running condition
