Study Notes
Residual Current Detection (RCD) Guidelines
- RCD should be upstream of input and auxiliary mains connections, utilizing a common configuration is not recommended.
- Use four-pole type B selective residual current detectors.
- Load leakage currents from UPS and power failure phases can lead to short current peaks; adjust residual protection accordingly.
- Pre-check earth current leakage with UPS operational to avoid RCD tipping.
Recommended Protection Devices
- Redundant Systems require a specific number of modules to manage power (kW): e.g., 100+0(1) for 2 modules, 100+50 for 3 modules, scaling up to 600+50 for 13 modules.
- Use a C curve circuit breaker with a minimum of 200 A based on module count; max limit of 1250 A for all configurations.
- For external transformers, select a D curve selective breaker.
Short-Time Withstand Current (Icw)
- Standard systems should aim for 20 kA rms; high short-circuit systems can allow up to 35 kA rms.
- Contact Socomec for specifics related to achieving 65 kA rms with optional bypass configurations.
UPS and Overvoltages
- Designed for transient overvoltages in category III; requires additional protection in category IV installations.
- Protective earthing conductor (PE) must handle sufficient current capacity, with cable size reflecting protective current rating dependencies.
MODULYS XM Overview
- Configurations include standard system (manual bypass) and systems with extra bypass module options.
- Control panel and power module slots are accessible from the front view.
Bypass Operations
- Maintenance bypass allows direct connection of UPS input and output; essential during maintenance and serious failures.
- Instructions are provided through the control panel menu for transitioning into and out of maintenance bypass mode.
Extended Out of Service Procedures
- Batteries must be recharged every three months when UPS is offline.
- Initiate charging by connecting mains, switching on input, and following procedures through the control panel.
Emergency Shutdown Procedures
- Quick power interruption requires engaging switch Q3.
- Remote shutdown can be executed via ADC + SL board.
Alarm Management
- Alarms categorized into external (e.g., input/output, temperature) and internal circuits that require corrective action by service departments.
- Specific alarms include imminent stops, overloads, high ambient temperature, and various operational warnings.
Power and Input Specifications
- Input voltage ranges from 340 V to 480 V (±20%); frequency specifications are between 40 to 70 Hz.
- Output voltage provides options for 3Ph+N configurations at 380/400/415 V ±1%, with selectable frequency ±0.01%.
Environmental Conditions
- Operating temperature optimal range is 0-40 °C, with recommended conditions between 15 °C to 30 °C.
- Operating humidity must remain at or below 95% without condensation.
Dimension and Weight Specifications
- Standard UPS dimensions are 1200 x 960 x 1990 mm.
- System weight varies based on configurations, generally around 788 to 992 kg, depending on module count.
Compliance and Safety Standards
- Compliance with EN/IEC 62040 standards ensures safety, EMC, and performance certifications.
- Testing and certifications include CE marking and protective class I adherence.
