3 - DESCRIPTION

3.1 PRINCIPAL DIAGRAM AND MAIN ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION

Fig. 3.1-1 UPS principal diagram

The Uninterruptible Power Supply System LanPro 33 / 10 - 20 - 30 kVA can be divided into the
following main elements:
Electronics The UPS is designed with a microprocessor–controlled supervision and diagnostic
system.
Communication between user and UPS is achieved by the front panel consisting
of an LCD screen, displaying the operation modes, the measurements and the
events/alarms.
Rectifier The rectifier converts the 3-phase mains voltage into a controlled and regulated
DC-voltage, in order to supply power to the booster, and to charge the battery
through the battery-charger.
Inverter The inverter converts the DC voltage into a three-phase AC-voltage with constant
amplitude and frequency, which is completely independent from the AC-input voltage.
Automatic The automatic bypass consists of a static semiconductor-switch (SSR: Static
Bypass Switch Relay), used to provide an uninterrupted transfer of the load from inverter
to mains when operating in On-line mode.
If chosen the IEM mode, the SSM transfer the load from mains to inverter in case
the utility fails.
Back-Feed All LanPro 33 UPS’s are equipped with an automatic system for the protection
Protection against voltage back feeding towards Utility, through the Bypass (Applied Standard
IEC 62040-1).
This protection works automatically by opening contactor K6 (in series with the
thyristors of the static switch) and eventually K7, and acts in case of internal defects
of the system, or due to wrong manipulations on the maintenance bypass Q2.
Maintenance The maintenance bypass consists of a pair of manual switches Q1 and Q2, which
Bypass allow the isolation of the UPS from the load, while still supplying the load with power
directly from the mains.
Battery The battery, normally stored by the battery-charger, supplies the DC energy to
inverter in the event of mains failure.

3.2 OPERATION MODES

This section describes the different possible operation modes of the UPS explaining the function of
the main modules of the UPS.

On-line mode operation

Under normal conditions the load is


permanently powered by the inverter with
constant amplitude and frequency.

The rectifier, powered by the mains, supplies


Fig. 3.2-1 Energy flow in On-line mode operation the inverter and the battery-charger keeps
the battery fully charged.

The inverter converts the DC voltage in a new AC sine wave voltage with constant amplitude and
frequency independently from the input mains power.

IEM mode operation (Intelligent Energy


Management)

When the IEM mode is selected, and the


mains power is available, the load is normally
powered through the automatic bypass.

When the mains voltage is detected out of


the prescribed tolerances, the load is
automatically transferred to the inverter.
Fig. 3.2-2 Energy flow in IEM mode operation
When the mains recovers, the load returns
to the automatic bypass after a variable time
defined by the control unit.

The IEM mode can be configured directly by the user for higher efficiency, considering the mains
reliability and criticality of the load.

The selection between the two operation modes “On-line mode and IEM mode”, or switching be-
tween operation modes at required time, can be done through the UPS console panel (see Section
5.7.1-5).

In case of parallel system:


IEM mode (Intelligent Energy Management) cannot be enabled for RPA Parallel System.

OPM_LPE_33X_10K_30K_3GB_V030 1 2 / 73 Operating Manual LanPro 33 / 10-20-30 kVA


g GE Digital Energy

Automatic bypass operation

In On-line operation mode, the load is


permanently supplied by the inverter but, in
case of trouble on the inverter, or when
overload or short-circuit on the output occur,
if the mains voltage do not exceed the
admitted tolerances, the load is instantly
transferred to the mains through the
automatic bypass, taking advantage of the
Fig. 3.2-3 Energy flow in automatic bypass operation
higher short circuit power.

When the inverter recovers, the load will be re-transferred automatically to the inverter.

In case of parallel system:


Each unit has its own bypass.
All the bypasses in the system work together, their control being managed in the same manner by
all units.
The units are continuously exchanging information before taking such decision.
In case the inverter of one unit fails, its bypass remains operating.
It is excluded only if the unit is separated from the common bus by opening its output switch Q1.

Mains recovery operation


As soon as the mains recovers, the rectifier
starts up automatically supplying the inverter
and the battery-charger recharges the
battery.

In case the inverter has been shut down


following a complete discharge of the battery,
when the mains recovers the system start up
Fig. 3.2-4 Energy flow at mains recovery operation
automatically.

When the energy stored in the battery is sufficient to ensure a minimum time of operation with the
actual load, in case of a future mains failure, the load will be retransfered to inverter (if selected On-
line mode).

In case of parallel system:


When the AC input power recovers, the rectifiers will start up sequentially according to their
number in the parallel system in order to avoid an initial inrush current.
The inverters will start up automatically, but only when the battery has recharged enough for a
minimum runtime with the present load.
When enough inverters to supply the load have been restarted, the load will be transferred from
the automatic bypass back to the inverter busbars.

OPM_LPE_33X_10K_30K_3GB_V030 1 3 / 73 Operating Manual LanPro 33 / 10-20-30 kVA


g GE Digital Energy

Maintenance bypass operation

The maintenance bypass circuit consisting


of Q1 and Q2 manual switches, permits the
transfer of the load directly to the mains
Fig. 3.2-5 Energy flow in maintenance bypass operation
without interruption, leaving the UPS
galvanically separated from the output load.

This type of operation is normally used when the UPS system must be completely turned off for
maintenance or reparation.

Mains failure operation

In the event of a mains power failure, the


rectifier and the battery-charger turn OFF,
while the inverter continues to supply the
load without interruption using the energy
stored in the battery.

During the battery discharge, the LCD screen


displays the remaining autonomy, based on
Fig. 3.2-6 Energy flow during mains failure operation the battery capacity and the applied load.

In the event of an extended mains failure,


before the battery is fully discharged, the alarm “stop operation” warns the user that the UPS will
start the shut-down procedures when the indicated time expired (normally 3 minutes).

In case of parallel system:


With parallel system for power capacity:
• With the bypass mains power available as the warning “battery low” occurs on one unit, after
timeout (selectable) the load is transferred to mains.
• With missing bypass mains power as the warning occurs on one unit, the system starts the
timeout (selectable) of “Stop operation” and then the output load shuts down.

With redundant parallel system:


• As the warning battery low occurs on one unit unnecessary to support the present load, after
timeout (selectable) this unit shuts down and the load is shared between the other units.
As the warning occurs on one unit necessary to support the present load, the system starts the
timeout (selectable) of “stop operation” and then the output load shuts down.

3.3 RPA PARALLEL SYSTEM

The RPA (Redundant Parallel Architecture) allows to extend the unit to a parallel system with 2, 3, or
4 units LanPro 33 connected on the same bus, which ensure the highest reliability rate and increase
the power availability.

Mains input Parallel system for power capacity


Two or more units can be paralleled in order to
achieve output power superior to the maximum
power delivered by a single UPS unit.
The maximum total load shared between the n
parallel units can achieve the 100% of the installed
nominal power system.
In the event of one unit fails, the load will be sud-
denly transferred to the mains by the bypass.

Parallel system for rendundancy


The parallel system can be defined redundant only
in case the nominal power rating of n-1 units of n
Load
parallel units is sufficient to supply the required
Fig. 3.3-1 RPA system diagram load power.
The load in a parallel redundant system, is equally shared by n units connected on the output bars.
Should one of the parallel units trip off-line, the remaining (n-1) units will share the load maintaining
the applications protected by inverter until the normal situation restores.

Load sharing between parallel units


The control bus exchanging the data between the microprocessors of the paralleled units provide for
a constant proportional load sharing in every load condition.

Management and synchronisation of the parallel system


All the units are identical without master and slaves.
One unit is arbitrarily selected as the reference (the first unit connected on power bus) being this unit
the first synchronised with the mains voltage, and all the other units synchronise with the first one.
In case the reference unit fails or it is excluded from the parallel power bus any other unit will take over
the reference role.
The AC input power source of all the bypasses must be the same for all the units of the parallel
system excluding any phase shift between them.

Control bus of the parallel system


A high speed serial bus, guarantees comunication, synchronization and load sharing between the
UPS modules.
Each module controls it’s own function, while the Master (each unit can be Master) controls and
commands the status of the system.

The parallel system exclude more rectifiers connected on common battery.


No transformers, fuses or automatic circuit breakers should be inserted
between the unit’s output and the load common busbars.

4.2 DELIVERY

When delivered, check carefully the package integrity and the physical conditions of the UPS
equipment.

In case of any damage sustained during transport, immediately inform the carrier and contact your
local Service Centre.

A detailed report of the damage is necessary for any insurance claim.

WARNING !
A damaged UPS must never be installed or connected to mains or battery!

4.3 STORAGE

The equipment is carefully packed for transport and storage


so that it is in a perfect condition when eventually installed.
Never leave an UPS outside the building and do not store
the UPS one on top of the other.
It is recommended to store the UPS in its original package
in a dry, dust free room and far away from chemical
substances, with temperature not exceeding -25°C to
LP33_storage_01
55°C (-13°F to 131°F).

4.3.1 Storage of the UPS

Some important functions of the UPS, such as the customised functions, are defined by parameters
stored in a RAM memory.
The RAM is supplied by a small backup battery located on the Control Unit board.
If the storage time of the UPS exceeds 1 year, these functions should be verified by an authorised
Service Centre before putting the UPS into operation.

4.3.2 Storage of the battery

In case of extended storage, when the delivery includes maintenance free batteries, keep in mind
that they are subject to auto-discharging process.

To avoid permanent damages to the battery, you must observe the following instructions:
• The storage time without charging the battery depends on the temperature of the storage ambient.
• The optimal ambient temperature for the batteries is 20°C (68°F).
For storage temperature higher than 20°C (68°F), the storage time will decrease.
• Each additional 10°C (50°F) over the nominal temperature of 20°C (68°F) will decrease the storage
time, without freshening charge, by half.

In case of a maintenance free battery, the storage time without charging the battery is
approximately:
6 months with storage temperature 20°C (68°F)
3 months with storage temperature 30°C (86°F)
2 months with storage temperature 35°C (95°F)

4.4 PLACE OF INSTALLATION

The UPS should be installed in a restricted area where only qualified personnel should be admitted.
The place of installation should be clean, dust-free, and provided with proper ventilation or air-
conditioning.
Verify for sufficient floor load capacity.
We strongly advice that the ambient temperature should not exceed 20° ÷ 25°C / 68° ÷ 77°F (max.
35°C / 95°F).
See section 4.5.

NOTE !
Insufficient space on both sides of the UPS in respect to the wall can cause a
dangerous increase of the internal operating temperature.

For easier access in case of maintenance op-


eration and for a free circulation around the

4.7 CABLING

WARNING !
The connections to and from the UPS must be executed by QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL ONLY.
Refer to the “Safety prescriptions - Installation” described on page 7.

The cabling of the UPS-system has to be done according to the power installed.
Exceptions are only allowed to suit local prescriptions.
For correct rating of fuses and cable sections for input mains, output load and battery, see data
indicated in sections 4.7.2 and 4.7.3.
Before connecting the UPS, verify that the mains voltage and frequency, the output load voltage, the
frequency and the battery data (cells number, floating voltage, autonomy) are according to the local
requirements.
Caution when using four-pole circuit breakers as protection.
A potential problem exists for situations with non-linear loads: the neutral current could be larger
than the phase currents.

Mains

In order to ensure a correct load sharing between


the parallel units, when the load is supplied by
mains, it is recommended to kep the cable size
and lenght from the input distribution board to the
output busbar the same for each parallel unit.

To avoid mutual induction effect, the input cables


bust be run in separate conduit from the output
cables.

Load

No transformers, fuses or automatic circuit breakers should be inserted between


the unit’s output and the load common busbars.

The delivery and installation of fuses and input / output connections of the UPS are at the
customer’s expense, unless agreed otherwise.

NOTE !
In case of non observance of the required minimum distances on both UPS
sides (see section 4.4) it is recommended to provide an additional length of
the input/output cables so that the UPS can be moved for maintenance purpose.

If the cabinet is equipped with wheels, it is recommended to use flexible input/


output conductors with suitable length to admit a sufficient displacement.

4.7.1 Fuse discrimination (co-ordination of breakers tripping)

In order to ensure the circuit selectivity in case of short- circuit at load level, special care must be
taken in choosing the fuse ratings installed in the output distribution.

When a short-circuit on the output occurs, if the mains voltage does not exceed the admitted tolerances,
the load is instantly transferred to the mains through the automatic bypass, taking advantage of the
higher short circuit power.

To ensure a correct co-ordination of the breakers tripping, the fuses supplying the bypass line must
be at least 1,6 time bigger than the largest fuse in the output distribution.

If the selectivity must be ensured also in case of mains failure (that means inhibit automatic bypass),
the largest fuse in the output distribution must be lower than 20% of the UPS rated current for
each phase.

4.9 UPS FUNCTIONING AS FREQUENCY CONVERTER

When the UPS LanPro 33 is delivered as frequency converter (different output frequency with respect
to the input frequency), the automatic bypass and manual bypass functions are disabled.

Therefore the load cannot be transferred to mains in case of overload, short circuit, or inverter failure.

In cases where the UPS needs to be powered down for maintenance purposes, the critical load must
also be powered down during this time.

When the set-up parameters of the UPS are set for frequency converter, the IEM mode operation is
automatically disabled.

The UPS delivered as frequency converter has the following differences:


• Automatic bypass disabled by setting of dedicated parameter (access protected by password
reserved to service engineer).
• The handle of the switch Q2 - manual bypass is removed to avoid accidental wrong manipulations.
• Mains bypass disabled by removing the fuse F2 fitted on the board P12 - Control Interface.

WARNING !
In case a UPS delivered as frequency converter should be set on site for
UPS standard version, the operation must be performed by a qualified service
engineer.

This procedure must be performed for the first start-up following the installation, with the UPS completely
switched Off and not powered (exception made if the batteries are included in the UPS cabinet).
This procedure presupposes that the load is not yet supplied by the UPS system.
The UPS can be started-up using the battery supply in case the input mains
should be unavailable.
To avoid an incidental battery discharge, it is recommended to proceed to the
UPS start-up having the input mains available.

For single unit proceed as follows:


1- Insert the rectifier input fuses F1, F2 and F3.

2- Switch ON the mains power at the input distribution panel. EXECUTING MAINBOARD

Modem enabled = N 2. Y: enables or N: disables the modem call.
Init=BEQV1X3&D050=2
Alarm=N Delay=30s 3. Init: this parameter presents the modem initialisation string.
It can be 39 characters long and considers that a blank
character terminates the string.
If no blank character is found then all 39 characters are used.
4. Alarm: Y/N controls the automatic events signalling through modem.
If this parameter is set to Y (yes) the UPS itself will call the remote location when a new
event occurs.
Delay: this parameter controls the delay between the occurrence of a new event and the mo-
dem dialling.
It is useful because since the events typically do not occur isolated but in certain
sequences, you can eliminate the need for multiple dial-outs for such a sequence of
events.
NOTE !

2. d1 ÷ d7: Enabling time in function of weekdays.


For the weekdays from d1 to d7 (Saturday to Friday) the edit mode (edit day) allows to define time
intervals when the UPS is operating in IEM mode.
The hour is given in 24-hour format.
These intervals are defined by:

• IEM START: the hour of the day after which the IEM mode is enabled.
The IEM mode is enabled until the following IEM STOP time is reached (the IEM STOP
time of the same day if this is later than the IEM START time, the IEM STOP time of
the following day otherwise).
• IEM STOP: the hour of the day before which the IEM mode is enabled.

The IEM mode is enabled starting from the preceding IEM START time (the IEM START time of the
same day if this is earlier than the IEM STOP time, the IEM START time of the previous day otherwise).
Identical times for IEM START and IEM STOP mantain the existing mode only in case the previous
command was IEM START and the following command will be IEM STOP.

3. Hours selected: The number of IEM mode hours per weekday (from d1 - Saturday to d7 -
Friday) is displayed in the operation mode parameter window (ceiling value).

To better understand the IEM programming modes, some typical examples are shown:

Example 1: For continuous IEM mode set the IEM START times to 00:00 and the IEM STOP
times to 23:59 for all weekdays, but almost 1 day must have 1 minute of On-line
programmation: i.e d2 - Sunday 00:00 to 23:58).

Wheekday d1 - Saturday d2- Sunday d3 - Monday d4 - Tuesday d5 -Wednesday d6 - Thursday d7 - Friday


IEM START 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00
IEM STOP 23:59 23:58 23:59 23:59 23:59 23:59 23:59

Example 2: IEM STOP before IEM START.


IEM START 18:00, IEM STOP 06:00 for weekday d4 - Tuesday.
Means that on d4 - Tuesday the IEM mode is active between 00:00 and 06:00 and
between 18:00 and 23:59.

Wheekday d1 - Saturday d2- Sunday d3 - Monday d4 - Tuesday d5 -Wednesday d6 - Thursday d7 - Friday


IEM START 00:00 00:00 00:00 18:00 00:00 00:00 00:00
IEM STOP 23:59 23:59 23:59 06:00 23:59 23:59 23:59

Example 3: IEM mode during the night and week-end


If the IEM mode must be enabled all nights (d3 - Monday ÷ d7 - Friday) between
18:00 in the evening and 06:00 of the following morning and during all Saturday (d1)
and Sunday (d2), the corresponding parameters are:
Wheekday d1 - Saturday d2- Sunday d3 - Monday d4 - Tuesday d5 -Wednesday d6 - Thursday d7 - Friday

In dark colour are displayed the times with IEM mode operation.
The arrows indicate the conditions given by the IEM START and IEM STOP times introduced with
the parameters.
Note that on day d6 - Thuersday the interval has length 0 (zero), therefore the IEM mode is not

6.1.1 EPO (Emergency Power Off)

An external Emergency switch (Normally Closed voltage-free contact) can be connected on terminals
X2 / 1, 2 or connector J2 / 12, 25 of the Interface Customer.
In any case remove the cable short-circuiting terminals X2.
NOTE !
To enable this function, remove jumper JP3 on the Customer Interface, when the
cables have been already connected on X2 or J2.
In case of paralleled Customer Interfaces (up to 3) the EPO contact must be con-
nected to one Customer Interface only, but the bridge on X2 and jumper JP3 on the
P4 – Customer Interface must be removed on all other boards.

In a parallel system a separate NC contact must be connected individually to


each unit.

When activated, this switch causes the immediate shutdown of booster, battery-charger, inverter;
and the contactors K4, K6 and K7.

NOTE !
This procedure could imply a load shutdown.

When the EPO has been activated, the system must be restored as following:
• Press the push-button EPO (contact on X2 / 1, 2 is closed again);
COMMAND MENU
• Perform the command INVERTER OFF entering the screen: INVERTER ON
MENU / COMMAND MENU / INVERTER OFF; INVERTER OFF *

COMMAND MENU
• Start the inverter entering the screen: INVERTER ON *
MENU / COMMAND MENU / INVERTER ON. INVERTER OFF

6.1.2 Gen Set signalling

If an Emergency generator set supplies the UPS in case of utility failure and the generator is particularly
unstable in frequency, it should be suitable to install the signal “generator on” on terminals X1 / 11, 22
(Normally Open voltage-free contact) or on connector J2 / 11, 24.

When this contact closes, it causes the change of certain settable functions such as:
• Enabling or disabling of synchronisation and consequently the load transfer to generator.
• The battery recharge inhibition during the generator operation, or after what delay from generator
start the battery will start to be recharged.
• Increase the synchronisation slew rate during the generator operation improving the ability to
synchronise (in case the UPS must synchronise with generator).

Consult your nearest Service Centre for more information.

7.2 OPTIONS ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION


The installation and cabling of the options must be performed by QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSON.

7.2.1 Optional battery cabinet connection


Before connecting the UPS with an optional battery cabinet, follow the safety rules concerning the
battery. Make sure that the UPS is not powered, the fuses F9, F10, F11 at the front of the cabinet and
all the battery fuses Fbatt1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 of the battery cabinet are removed.
The battery cabinet can be located on the right or left side of the UPS keeping at least the following
distances: X = 500 mm (19.7”) for UPS without wheels; 100 mm (4”) for UPS equipped with wheels.
NOTE !
Check for sufficient floor load-
ing capacity ( see technical data
sheet).
When an additional battery cabi-
net is connected, no batteries
must be installed inside the UPS
cabinet.
The cable “C”, standard length 5 meters, must
be routed and connected as shown in the
above figures.

Connect the cables with the battery temperature sensors J1/ J2, which permit to regulate the floating
voltage in function of the operation temperature, to the PCB P7- Battery charger.
The cable with the connectors J1/J2 must be laid in a separated conduit protected from the external
electromagnetic fields.
In case the battery cabinet should be installed with a previously delivered UPS, please follow the
included instructions and contact your Service Centre.
Once the connection between the two cabinets is achieved, install the side panel of the UPS, insert
the fuses Fbatt1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 on all the racks of the battery cabinet, whereas the fuses F9, F10 and
F11 at the front of the UPS must not be inserted until the start-up operation of the UPS.

8 - MAINTENANCE

NOTE !
All maintenance and service works must be performed by qualified and trained
personnel!

8.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE


When used properly, the LanPro 33 UPS is virtually maintenance free.
Take care of proper environmental conditions (see section 4.5 – Ventilation & cooling) and keep air
inlets/outlets free from dust and any other obstacle.

8.2 COOLING FAN MAINTENANCE


The expected operational life of the cooling fans is approximately 40.000 hours of continuous operation.
A high ambient temperature will shorten this operational life.

8.3 BATTERY MAINTENANCE


The service life of the battery is from 3 to 6 years, depending on the operating temperature and on
the number of discharge cycles.
As a healthy battery is essential to the performance of the UPS, an automatic or manual battery test
can be performed regularly to ensure failsafe operation, in order to check if the battery can provide
the expected backup time in case of mains failure.
We recommend the battery test be performed at least every 1 month, especially if the battery is not
sufficiently discharged during normal operation.
Since the parameter enabling the battery test protected by user password, please contact your
Service Centre for more information.
Please consider that, if you did a full battery test to verify the full runtime of the battery, the charger
needs at least 8 hours to recharge the battery up to 90% of its capacity.
To guarantee that the battery is fully charged, the UPS system should be in operation for at least 12
hours every 3 months.
When the condition of the battery is critical, the warning signal will be activated (general alarm, buzzer,
and alarm message “4118 - Battery fault” ).
In this case the battery must be replaced as soon as possible.
Please contact your dealer.

8.4 SERVICE REQUIRED


If this lamp lights up during the normal operation (service parameter with password), the perform-
ances of the UPS remain the same, but that means the unit has not been serviced for the last 20.000
hours by a qualified GE Service Engineer.
Some components of the UPS which need periodic maintenance, if not replaced, could cause a
reliability reduction of the supply system.
We highly recommend that you contact your Service Centre for preventive maintenance work.

NOTE !
Ask to your local Service Centre to submit the form of Preventive Maintenance
Contract suitable for your specific needs.
