The hybrid rotary uninterruptible power supply system, hereafter, will be referred to as the “UPS” or “RUPS”. The RUPS is designed to provide and monitor regulated AC power to critical loads during utility power outages. The system shall include all components required to properly interface with the building’s AC power source, solid-state inverter, rectifier/charger, system bypass, storage battery, and motor generator (M-G) set as described in the following specification.

1.2 Furnished with Equipment:

  • Factory Test Report
  • Protective Packaging
  • Installation Drawings
  • O&M Manual
    • Warranty Statement
1.3 Documents & Standards:
  • National Electrical Code, NFPA 70-2005.
  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI); Applicable Standards.
  • NEMA MG-1.
  • IEEE Standards 45.
  • Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA).
  • Local Codes & Authorities having jurisdiction for this installation.
1.4 System Description:

1.4.1:
The basic components of the system shall include a motor generator set, rectifier/charger, static inverter, switchgear, system controls, storage battery, fused battery disconnect, system status, and color touch screen HMI display. The motor generator section must be capable of separation from the electronic portion of the UPS system. This is required to allow outdoor installation of the motor generator section, thereby reducing HVAC requirements for the overall UPS system.

1.4.2:
The operation of the UPS shall be based on an online inverter design. The inverter shall remain fully “on” during normal operation and provide 100% of the required load through the rectifier, inverter, and the motor generator (M-G) set.

1.4.3: The system shall be comprised of two major sections that provide true electrical isolation (through mechanical coupling), and battery backup while conditioning raw input power from a utility or engine generator system. The electronics console shall consist of a system rectifier/charger, battery interface filter, and load commutated inverter. The motor generator section shall consist of of a two bearing synchronous motor shaft coupled to a two bearing synchronous generator for complete electromagnetic isolation from input to output.

1.5 System Operation:

1.5.1 Normal:
The rectifier shall convert the system input AC power to DC power. The DC power will then be applied to the system battery to maintain it in a float charge condition. The rectifier output is also supplied to the naturally commutated inverter. The inverter converts the direct current (DC) to an alternating current (AC) to drive the motor generator, which acts as a rotary filter for the critical downstream load. The motor generator shall store the energy in its rotational mass so as not to require power from the system battery for power outages of 200 msec. of less.

1.5.2 Input AC Power Disturbance/Loss:
During an input power failure, the system rectifier will shut down while the inverter draws power from the battery system. No switching of the battery system shall be permitted. The battery must be online at all times. No interruption or transfer of motor generator (M-G) input power will be permitted at this critical time to assure a continuous steady power source for the M-G set. The battery shall be properly sized for full load operation for the specified duration.

1.5.3 Return of AC Input Power:
The rectifier/charger shall start to assume the DC load from the storage battery when the normal AC power source returns. The rectifier/charger shall thereafter supply the inverter with full DC power and recharge the storage battery. This shall be an automatic function and shall cause no disturbance to the critical loads.

1.5.4 The transfer to Alternate Source:
The if the UPS system senses a fault or out-of-tolerence condition, and an inverter shut down signal shall automatically transfer the crticial loads from the synchronous generator out put to the alternate AC power source without an interruption of power. IF the alternate AC power source is outside normal limits, then the transfer shall be inhibited and the UPS will automatically shutdown.

1.6 Quality Assurance:

1.6.1:
The manufacturer shall have a Quality Assurance (QA) program in place with an inspection of incoming parts, modular assemblies, and final products. The manufacturer shall have a designated QA manager who is responsible for overseeing the QA, as well as, Quality Control (QC) representatives responsible for actively overseeing the manufacturing process.

1.6.2:
A final test procedure for the product shall include a check of all performance specifications and a minimum “burn in” period. An on-site test procedure shall include a check of controls and indicators after installation of the equipment.

1.6.3:
Storage, Handing, & Delivery: The equipment shall be shipped on a wooden pallet suitable for forklift handling. The equipment shall be covered with clear plastic sheeting to prevent dust and dirt from entering the unit during shipment. For international shipment, a wooden pallet will need to be constructed of treated wood and shall meet all other specifications and standards required for international freight.

1.7 Submittals:

1.7.1 Proposal:
Catalog cut sheets and/or data sheets describing the proposed equipment shall be submitted with the proposal. A users listing shall be available upon request giving company name locations and systems installed. All deviations from this specification shall be listed and included with the proposal.

1.7.2 Receipt of Order:
A minimum of two sets of installation drawings showing outline dimensions, weights, connections, and a one-line diagram of the UPS shall be sent to the purchaser to be used in planning the installation of the system.

1.7.3 Formal Approval:

  • Equipment Installation Outline
  • External Cabling Connection Diagram
  • Equipment One-Line Power Diagram
