Power Protection &
Business Continuity
A Power Protection system is a
critical tool in minimizing
Business Continuity risk  Manages power quality
 Provides support in the event of power
interruption
 Reduces the risk of disruption to critical
business processes
 Reduces the risk of lost productivity
 Reduces the risk of economic loss
 Reduces the risk of disruption to
customer service & loss of business
Growing Need for Power
Protection
UPS power is typically used to support IT
infrastructure  Computer Rooms; Data Centres; Trading Floors; Call
Centres; General Office
Other Applications include –
 Industrial Control Systems; Security Systems
Two major issues are driving use of UPS -
Growing Need For Power
Protection
Degradation Of Power Quality

Lack of investment in power infrastructure by
power utility companies.

Reduction in electrical network maintenance to
reduce cost. This decreases the reliability of the
power network

Onus onto the end user to provide performance
requirements to suit their needs.
Growing Need For Power
Protection
Increasing Demand For Quality Power By
The End User

The use of microprocessor based equipment in day
to day office business activities requires the
continuous availability of quality power to avoid
damage to critical equipment.

The use of microprocessor based equipment in
manufacturing processes requires protection from
outages to avoid unplanned & uncontrolled
downtime.
Advantages of UPS Power
Protection Against Power Interruption
The primary function of the UPS is to protect the
downstream equipment from power fluctuations  Sags or dips in voltage
 Total absence of incoming voltage which can last
milliseconds or minutes.

UPS Performance
Terminology
Rectifier
Rectifiers performance is typically qualified as 6 or 12 pulse. This determines the
type of current reflected into the mains supply. A 12 pulse produces less
“harmonic” or non linear current into the mains supply.
PWM IGBT Inverter
PWM stands for “Pulse Width Modulation”. This is the “State of the Art” inverter
switching technology used to recreate the AC waveform from the DC supply.
The power module used in the inverter bridge is called an Insulate Gate Bipolar
Transistor (IGBT).
Battery Design Life (Sealed Lead Acid)
The battery quality is determined by the “Battery Design Life”. Lower rated UPS
systems (< 10kVA) use 5 year design life batteries.
Larger UPS systems typically use 10 year design life batteries and in some cases
up to 15 years design life.

Advantages
Continuous Regulation Of Output Voltage & Frequency
The load is supplied with conditioned power at all times.
Higher Reliability
UPS internal components are in continuous operation. The internal
components are not in stand by operation to support the critical load.
Disadvantages
Efficiency
There is a cost of ownership due to heat losses

Advantages
Efficiency
Improved efficiency due to direct supply from mains
Disadvantages
Non-Regulated Output Supply
Direct mains supply exposes critical load to voltage & frequency variations
Lower Reliability
Internal components are rated for short term operation during power absences

Single UPS
(Dual Input Supply)
Typically for higher rating

Parallel Redundant (N+1)
(2 units up)
Configuration allows for one UPS at a time to be isolated without removal
of UPS supply.
The maximum load permissible on the UPS system is determined by
capacity remaining with the removal of a single UPS unit

Independent Dual UPS
(N+N)
Dual plane installations. (Dual Cord Technology)
Higher reliability required and achieved due to duplication of all infrastructure to

External Maintenance
Bypass Introduction
Purpose
Facilitates transfer of output load UPS to an alternative supply
source for UPS maintenance works or UPS replacement.
Ensures no “LIVE” power is present on the UPS (OH&S).
Key Features
 Make before break changeover facility
 Interlock facility with UPS to inhibit transferring between two
sources which are not synchronized.
 Changeover switch can have 1-4 poles.
External Maintenance
Bypass Introduction
Interlocking Systems
Rotary Switches  Electro-mechanical via a solenoid or blocking relay which inhibits the rotation of the
switch. A push button enables the switch to rotate and simultaneously transfers the
UPS to static bypass
 Mechanical Interlock which inhibits the rotation of the switch. A push button enables
the switch to rotate and simultaneously transfers the UPS to static bypass during the
transfer operation.
Circuit Breakers/ Switches  Mechanical inter-lock via two Fortress/Castell keys located in UPS output switchboard
and a third key connected into UPS system transfer control. The changeover circuit
breakers cannot be closed without the keys present.
