4. The UPS shall be modular plug-in design that minimizes the time required to replace a
defective module. UPS modular design shall also be made up one or more detachable modules or cabinets , preferably of the draw-out type and removable from the front. This also provides basic for a scalable UPS system. Modularity and interchangeability of sub-assemblies and printed circuit board assemblies shall be optimized. UPS shall be designed to permit ease of replacement of parts, test points, and terminal shall be such that they are accessible for circuit checking, adjustment and maintenance without the removal of any adjacent module or assembly.
5. All semiconductors in the module shall be protected by fast acting fuses so that the failure of any one power semiconductor will not cause cascading failures. Each fuse shall be provided with a blown fuse indicator on the control panel.
6. UPS system shall have surge protection on the incoming power line side to protect unit from transient voltages.
7. UPS with delta configuration units shall have filtered bypass system. The manufacturer shall design and furnish all materials and equipment to be fully compatible
with electrical, environmental, and space conditions at the site. It shall include all equipment to properly interface the AC power source to the intended load and be designed for unattended operation.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Design Requirements. The UPS shall be sized to provide the minimum of kW/kVA, and additional 10% of what is indicated on the drawings.
Input and output voltage to the UPS module and external maintenance bypass shall be 480 VAC, three phase, 3-wire.
Battery system shall have a capacity of to power the UPS system full kW output for at least 30 minutes at 25°C.
Modes of Operation. The UPS system shall operate as an on-line reverse transfer system in the following modes: Normal. The critical AC load is continuously powered by the UPS inverter. The rectifier/charger derives power from the utility AC source and supplies DC power to the inverter, while simultaneously float charge the batteries.
Emergency. Upon failure of utility AC power, the critical AC load is powered by the inverters which, without any switching, obtain power from the battery plant. There shall be no interruption in power to the critical load upon failure or restoration of the utility AC source.
Recharge. Subsequent to restoration of the utility AC power, the rectifier shall automatically reactivate and provide the DC power to the inverter, simultaneously recharging the system battery. This occurs automatically and without interruption to the critical load.
Bypass. In the event that the UPS system must be taken out of service for maintenance or repair, the maintenance bypass switch shall transfer the load to the bypass source. In the event that the UPS must be taken off line due to an overload condition or UPS failure, the internal static bypass switch shall transfer the load to the bypass source. In both cases, the transfer processes shall cause no interruption in power to the critical AC load. A re-transfer from bypass to inverter shall be performed automatically in the event of overload. A re-transfer shall be inhibited if satisfactory synchronization of the inverter and bypass source is not accomplished. The use of the static switch shall not be required during the manual or automatic re-transfer process, therefore increasing reliability.
Performance Requirements. The maximum working voltage, current, and di/dt of all solid-state power components and electronic devices shall not exceed 75% of the ratings established by their manufacturer. The operating temperature of solid-state component sub-assemblyshall be greater than 75% of their ratings. Electrolytic capacitors shall be computer grade and be operated at no more than 95% of their voltage rating at the maximum rectifier charging voltage.
