system description

(see figure 1)

■

a rectifier/charger module (A) converts

3-phase AC power from the normal AC
source supply (1) into DC power for the
normal inverter input and float charges or
recharges the battery;

■

a battery unit (D) provides backup

power for the inverter in the event of a
voltage drop or a normal AC source fail-
ure;

■

an inverter module (B) converts the DC

power supplied by the rectifier/charger
module or the battery unit into 3-phase AC
power for the load;

■

a static bypass module (C) ensures the

instantaneous transfer of the load to the
bypass AC source input in the event of an
inverter shutdown (initiated by the user or
by a protective device) or a sudden over-
load;

■

a maintenance bypass isolates the UPS

for maintenance and transfers the load to
bypass AC source input without interrupt-
ing the supply of power. The maintenance
bypass is made up of three manual
switches (Q3BP, Q4S and Q5N).

Note

■

the normal AC input and the bypass AC

input have different functions and,
depending on the installation, may be pro-
tected differently upstream and/or come
from different sources.

■

when increased power is required, sev-

eral Galaxy PW™ units may be connect-
ed in parallel (up to four). In this configura-
tion, an "isolation" function is added for
the UPS system as a whole for mainte-
nance purposes, without interrupting the
supply of power to the load.

The system may also include:

■

Isolation or auto transformers on both

input and output.

■

2 CB or 3 CB maintenance bypass

■

different remote control, indication and

display systems.
