EPS-2000TY
Uninterruptible Power System
1.1
General description
The EPS-2000 is an on-line static uninterruptible power system (UPS) designed to protect critical
loads from anomalies commonly encountered from power utilities. The EPS-2000 UPS and its
auxiliary equipment can be installed in a computer room or an equipment room. Figure 1 is a
pictorial of the EPS-2000 UPS.
The EPS-2000 UPS and its auxiliary equipment are Listed for Safety by Underwriter’s Laborato-
ries. Inc. (UL) under UL Standard 1778
-
Uninterruptible Power Systems.
Major components of the EPS-2000 include:
.
Rectifier/battery charger
-
rectifies ac input to dc for maintaining battery charge
.
Input autotransformer (optional)
-
matches input source voltage to that required
internally by the UPS
.
Transistorized pulse-width-modulated (PWM) static inverter
-
converts dc from
the rectifierlbanery charger (or from the battery when in battery operation mode)
to ac output voltage to maintain attached critical loads
.
Output transformer (optional)
-
provides the required output voltage for
attached loads
.
Continuous-duty rated static switch
-
automatically transfers between bypass
ac
source and
inverler
ac
output
.
External battery system
-
stores energy for utilization by the inverter (and attached
loads) in the event that utility ac input power is lost or of unacceptable quality
A system status and control panel
(SSSCP)
provides controls to select system operation. and
indicators that allow system performance to be monitored. A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is used
to display system operating parameters; provide step-by-step operating instructions to the system
operator; and provide a diagnostic capability with instructions to assist in troubleshooting.
The built-in EPS monitor software is programmed to display its messages in any of five (5)
languages
-
English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian.
The EPS-2000 uses microprocessors to precisely regulate operation of the rectifier/battery
charger. transistorized pulse-width-modulated inverter, and static switch, to assure optimum
performance for all line. load. and operating conditions. In addition. a microprocessor-based
diagnostic system helps troubleshoot faulty assemblies within the EPS-2000 UPS, to minimize
time required to restore system operation in the unlikely event of an internal UPS fault. Modular
construction throughout the EPS-2000 UPS facilitates maintenance of the system.
A single-line diagram of the EPS-2000 UPS is shown in Figure 2. The location of major internal
components within the EPS-2000 UPS is shown in Figure 3.
The EPS-2000 100 and 125
kVA
UPS are 480 VAC input, 480 VAC output devices. The
EPS-
2000 50-80
kVA
UPS are offer in 2081208, 2201220 or
4801480.
When different input
and/or
l
output voltages are specified, external transformers provide the step-up and/or
step-down
func-
tions as required. These transformers
are housed
in auxiliary cabinets, either an ACA-2000 or
SDC-2000 or both.
In addition to housing voltage matching transformers, each of these auxiliary
cabinets can house optional equipment as well.
