ARm SeriesAutomatic Redundancy Module/UPS Bypass

11

TSi Power’s ARm-1000 redundancy module automatic bypass system is recommended when no downtime from power outage is tolerated. Internet service providers, critical servers and telecom equipment, and export markets with bad power would find this technology valuable.

Typical ARm applications Designed for situations where reliability and predictability matter to the enterprise. Examples: telecommunications equipment, export markets, file servers, routers, digital copiers, office machines, industrial controllers (PLC), automatic test equipment (ATE), laboratory analyzers and other sensitive, specialized microprocessor-based equipment. Note: Both power sources Must be In Phase. If cannot be guaranteed, see the ATs-1000.

Key ARm benefitsThe ARm unit will provide uninterrupted ac to your load even in the event of UPS failure. ARms your critical equipment against extended power outages and catastrophic system shutdowns caused by accidental circuit breaker trips, UPS overload conditions, weak or old UPS batteries, routine and preventive maintenance of UPS, accidental UPS shut-down, loose power cords, or UPS failure.The ARM Series permits daisy chaining with any sine wave in-phase UPS, providing unlimited redundancy using any combination of independant (separate) ac circuits, UPS systems, generator-backed ac circuits, etc.

How the ARm worksThe ARm is fed by two ac power sources. When the primary power source detector circuit senses a loss of power on that circuit, a relay immediately switches the load over to the backup power source feed in less than 10 ms. This is fast enough to be invisible to computer switch-mode power supplies.

TSi Power’s ATs Series user customizable automatic transfer switches (ATS) are for enabling the use of redundant power sources, such as small uninterruptible power systems feeding industrial controls, PLC cabinets, internet servers, telecom systems, etc.

Typical ATs applications Designed for situations where reliability and predictability matter to the enterprise. Examples: telecommunications equipment, rectifiers, cell sites, file servers, routers, digital copiers, office machines, industrial controllers (PLC), automatic test equipment (ATE), laboratory analyzers and other sensitive, specialized microprocessor-based equipment.

Key ATs benefitsIf the ATs DIP Switch is set to “Fast transfer” (20ms typical transfer time) mode, then when redundant power sources are present, it can replace an expensive UPS system and battery banks for most computers, telecommunication, and industrial equipment (since switchmode power supplies used in most new electronics equipment provide a minimum of 20ms in capacitor hold-up time under full load conditions). If a ‘positive power break’ is needed during the transfer, then the ATs may be set to “Slow transfer” (1 second) mode to ensure a full 1 second ac power outage during transfer.Also, the two ac sources do not have to be synchronized since the ATs is designed to switch between two asynchronous ac sources without damage to itself or to equipment powered by switchmode power supplies.

How the ATs worksThe ATs is fed by two independent ac power sources. When the primary power source detector circuit senses a loss of power on the primary circuit, it immediately switches the load over to the backup power source feed in less than 20 ms. Upon restoration of primary power, the ATs will switch back in less than 20ms. This is fast enough to be invisible to computer switch-mode power supplies.

TSi Power’s ATs Series user customizable automatic transfer switches (ATS) are for enabling the use of redundant power sources, such as small uninterruptible power systems feeding industrial controls, PLC cabinets, internet servers, telecom systems, etc.

Typical ATs applications Designed for situations where reliability and predictability matter to the enterprise. Examples: telecommunications equipment, rectifiers, cell sites, file servers, routers, digital copiers, office machines, industrial controllers (PLC), automatic test equipment (ATE), laboratory analyzers and other sensitive, specialized microprocessor-based equipment.

Key ATs benefitsIf the ATs DIP Switch is set to “Fast transfer” (20ms typical transfer time) mode, then when redundant power sources are present, it can replace an expensive UPS system and battery banks for most computers, telecommunication, and industrial equipment (since switchmode power supplies used in most new electronics equipment provide a minimum of 20ms in capacitor hold-up time under full load conditions). If a ‘positive power break’ is needed during the transfer, then the ATs may be set to “Slow transfer” (1 second) mode to ensure a full 1 second ac power outage during transfer.Also, the two ac sources do not have to be synchronized since the ATs is designed to switch between two asynchronous ac sources without damage to itself or to equipment powered by switchmode power supplies.

How the ATs worksThe ATs is fed by two ac power sources. When the primary power source detector circuit senses a loss of power on that circuit, it immediately switches the load over to the backup power source feed in less than 20ms. Upon restoration of primary power, the ATs will switch back in less than 20ms. This is fast enough to be invisible to computer switch-mode power supplies.

EXtEXt

The modular TSI Power Battery Extension Unit is designed to provide extended back-up for use with TSI's UPs-10000, 16000 and 21000 systems.

Typical applications Sometimes power goes out for hours and a standard five or ten minute reserve just won't do. Longer hold-up times may be needed for users that upload/download large files on the Internet, or the following applications: extensive account-ing or engineering programs, point-of-salesystems, control systems, portable medical systems, inventory control systems, as well as telecom systems that need to be up all the time.

Key benefitsEXt-8000 units can be daisy-chained to provide hold-up times of eight hours or more depending on the number of EXt-8000 units and the load it powers. EXt-8000 can be rack-mounted and several different mounting kits are available. EXt-8000 can also be mounted on a movable cart together with a TSi UPS to provide long-term back-up while moving equipment from location to location.

How the EXt-8000 worksEach EXt-8000 contains its own battery charger, which keeps typical recharge time to 6 hours or less. This feature is extremely important as extension modules containing only batteries have to be recharged from the UPS's internal charger – recharge can take several days for large batteries, which may result in back-up not being available when needed the most.

FLc-750/1000/1500 ~ 6.3/8.3/12A, 750VA/1/1.5kVA, 120vac

To provide isolated constant output voltage and stable power, even when the incoming ac mains or generator set voltage is extremely low or high.

Typical applications FLc Series line conditioners are suitable where you want the ultimate in industrial-strength ac line protection for computers, point-of-sale terminals, copiers, data acquisition and control systems, as well as other data processing equipment.The FLc Series is recommended for use with a stable load and input frequency, and where audible noise and heat are of less concern.

Key benefits The FLc Series constant voltage regulated output protects switch-mode power supplies from failure caused by unstable ac mains. FLc provides a combination of isolation and constant output voltage transformer technology, which makes it an ideal device to replace a dedicated circuit when cost of installing same is prohibitive. Highest grade ac power can be obtained even when the mains contain high noise and/or harmonics. FLc provides three stage surge protection and significant reduction of surge voltage dV/dt rise times. The FLc internal transformer draws only sinewave current, which helps to reduce harmonics in supplied loads. The FLc line conditioner can be used between a UPS and the ac mains to provide greater protection for the connected equipment, while saving the UPS's internal batteries for true black-outs.

How the FLc Series worksFLc incorporates a constant voltage output ferroresonant isolation transformer, which provides 100% isolation from the input ac line. The secondary neutral is bonded to ground thus eliminating all surge voltages between neutral and ground. Surge protection is further enhanced due to the built-in low-pass filter, which reduces fast-rise transients from 6kV/µs to less than 10V/µs.

Battery run-times for the OutdoorXUPs-600A are approximately 1 hour at 420 watts load, 2.2 hours at 210 watts load, and 8 hours at 50W; for the OutdoorXUPs-600B, approximately 2.2 hours at 420 watts, 4.6 hours at 210 watts, and 16 hours with a 50 watts load.

How the Outdoor XUPs worksThe Outdoor XUPs Series UPS provides auto-matic voltage regulation with surge protection and noise filtering, as well as overvoltage protection with a threshold of 140vac, and undervoltage protection with a threshold of 95vac. Upon a brownout, overvoltage, or loss of power, the XUPs will transfer to battery power in less than 4 milliseconds, enabling uninterrupted operation of computer, telecom, surveillance, signaling or other systems.LEDs provide visual assessment of UPS status. By unlatching, the front door swings open; inside the cabinet is an array of LED status indicators and a power on/off control switch.

Typical applicationsThis heavy duty outdoor UPS system is ideal for protection of WiFi/GSM/CDMA/satellite base stations, wireless communications/perimeter surveillance and security/gate control systems, LED traffic light/roadway display systems and industrial remote terminal units (RTUs).

UPs UPs

TSi Power’s Outdoor Series UPS are constructed with a rugged, ferroresonant no-break design and a fully isolated sine wave output with neutral-to-ground bond. They are housed in a weather protected (NEMA 3R rated design) enclosure. This series offers the best surge protection available, with excellent noise filtering, long battery back-up time built-in automatic bypass.

Key -4871 benefitsThis rugged industrial-strength ferroresonant design reduces the number of solid-state devices required for power conversion and is suitable for use in severe outdoor environments. Outdoor UPS batteries are special wide temperature batteries which allow operation of the UPS system over an ambient temperature range of -40° to +55° C. Built-in battery run-time is approximately 90 minutes under a typical 600 watts load.

How the -4871worksThe constant output isolation transformer provides 100% isolation from the input ac line. The regulated output protects switchmode power supplies from failure caused by unstable ac mains. The secondary neutral is bonded to ground, thus eliminating all surge voltages between neutral and ground. This type of surge protection is superior to all other technologies and is further enhanced with a built-in low-pass filter, which takes the edge off fast transients.UPS status is monitored by LED indicators, LED bargraph displays and audible signals for ac status, inverter status, output voltage, load, and battery status. Alarm interface: Upon loss of power, the audible alarm will beep. Because the Outdoor Series is a continuous sinewave ‘no-break’ UPS system, power to equipment loads will be completely unaffected. As the battery level drops until only a few minutes of holdup time remains, the audible alarm will change, warning of impending shutdown.

Dc output Wide temperature batteries Wide ac input voltage window

The TSi Power Outdoor-UPs-8009/8010 with dc output are for dc powered applications needing backup power in extreme weather conditions. They are constructed with wide temperature batteries and are housed in a weather protected IP44(NEMA-3R) enclosure. These offer a wide input voltage window (88 to 264 vac) and low ripple 12 vdc output, with heavy duty surge protection and noise filtering.

Key Outdoor UPs benefitsThis rugged outdoor dc output UPS design is suitable for use in severe outdoor environments. Outdoor UPs extreme/wide temperature batteries allow operation of the UPS system over an ambient temperature range of -20°to +60°C (- 4° to +140°F); - 40° to +60°C (-40° to +140°F) with optional battery heater. The wide input voltage window enables dc output without having to drain or exercise the batteries, thereby ensuring long battery life.Battery run-times for the Outdoor-UPs-8009 are approximately 1.3 hours at 60 watts load, and 2.5 hours at a 36 watts load. For the Outdoor-UPs-8010, approximately 5 hours at 60 watts load, and 8 hours with a 36 watts load.

How the Outdoor UPs worksThe outdoor UPs with dc output provides extended battery backup through a system which takes nominal 115 or 230 vac input (from 88 to 264 vac), converts it to dc, charges the batteries, and delivers a nominal 12 vdc (10 to 14 vdc) with a less than 200 millivolts peak to peak ripple. The heavy duty surge protection and noise filtering on the ac input helps protect the unit and load from transient surges on the line. Because the unit is already delivering dc power, upon a deep brownout or loss of power, the Outdoor UPs with dc output has a zero transfer time to the reserve power in the batteries. For OEMs, a small ‘hotel’ space is provided inside the unit for your equipment to reside.

Typical applicationsThese heavy duty outdoor UPS systems are designed to power wireless communications, perimeter surveillance cameras (CCTV), security/gate control systems, LED traffic light/roadway display systems and industrial remote terminal units (RTUs).

Outdoor VRx SeriesOutdoor PWM Automatic Voltage Regulator Line Conditioner

109

Outdoor-VRx-4400-0455/0460 ~ 4.4kVA, 230vac, PWM AVR+line conditioner

TSi Power’s Outdoor VRx precision PWM automatic voltage regulator with optional built-in low-impedance isolation transformer allows trouble-free operation of electronic equipment over a wide mains ac voltage range of 172 to 276V found in many developing countries. There is no switching of taps or otherwise a break in the power path thanks to continuous PWM switching of a buck-boost transformer primary winding. VRx is also designed with a fail-safe automatic bypass which enables the VRx to provide power to the load even in the event of internal failure that may otherwise result in a disruption of power to the load. VRx with optional isolation transformer provides complete isolation from the ac line, with a neutral-to-ground bond to eliminate all surge voltages between neutral and ground.

Typical applicationsDesigned for critical outdoor systems where reliability and predictability matter, such as remote transceiver base stations, fixed wireless applications, as well as for other outdoor equipment requiring additional protection. They are also for mission-critical applications such as telecom applications in remote environments where consistent voltage levels cannot be trusted, and where service calls are expensive.VRx provides highly available regulated power and protection from mains voltages outside of the design limits for RBS power plants, typically 172 to 276vac. A low input voltage can result in inadequately charged batteries as the ac to dc power system is unable to draw the power required. An input voltage in excess of 276V, even for a short time, can cause the destruction of ac to dc power systems. In summary, VRx is designed to protect equipment even in the most challenging worldwide electrical, mechanical and environmental conditions.

110 Outdoor VRx SeriesOd-VRx-4400-0455-0460

How the VRx Series worksThe high frequency IGBT driven converter takes the incoming ac power, measures against the nominal voltage and adds or subtracts voltage, 20,000 times per second, to achieve precisely regulated 230 +/-3% vac output. The automatic bypass will be activated when there is a fault condition. Two green LED’s indicate Normal (regulating protected mode operation), Yellow LED indicates Bypass (non-regulated output), and the Red LED indicates a Fault condition.The over-voltage and under-voltage cutoff is activated whenever the ac mains voltage becomes dangerously high or low (outside 172 to 276 vac). It automatically restarts whenever ac mains voltage is restored within 172 to 276 vac.An optional low-impedance isolation transformer provides complete isolation between the primary and secondary, and permits bonding its output neutral to ground, which completely eliminates all disturbances between neutral and ground. The leakage inductance of the isolation transformer, in combination with capacitive elements and MOVs, provide superb noise filtering, as well as coordinated multi-stage surge protection in accordance with the principles of IEC-61312.

Key VRx Series benefitsThe lightweight, high efficiency Outdoor VRx is easy to install in severe weather exposed environments. The unit comes in a specially designed IP44 (NEMA-3R) outdoor rated enclosure and has removable lifting eyes to enable use of lifting equipment.The automatic bypass assures that connected equipment will not shut down, even if VRx fails. VRx is compatible with all loads as it does not switch any components in the power path. VRx’s ultra-low impedance assures stability even with the most demanding loads.The automatic over-voltage / under-voltage cutoff with automatic restart ensures that operation is off-line during serious over-voltage or under-voltage situations that could damage the system and/or load, and then restarts without intervention when the ac mains voltage becomes within the operating range. The optional isolation line conditioner provides maximum equipment protection against surges, spikes and transients, for higher equipment reliability and maximum equipment operating life. In addition, improved repeatability, fewer reboots or system lock-ups, a reduction in equipment down time and service costs can be expected.

How the Outdoor VRp-ILc worksThe high frequency insulated gate bi-polar transistor (IGBT) driven converter takes the incoming ac power, measures against the nominal voltage and adds or subtracts voltage, 20,000 times per second, to achieve precisely regulated 230/400 vac three phase output. The Automatic Bypass will be activated when there is a fault condition. A green LED indicates normal regulated protected mode operation.The over-voltage cutoff is activated whenever the ac mains voltage becomes dangerously high (over 475vac). It automatically restarts whenever ac mains voltage is restored to a safe level.At extremely low ac input conditions it can be operated at limited duty cycle.A low-impedance isolation transformer provides complete isolation between the primary and secondary, and permits bonding between output neutral to ground, which completely eliminates all disturbances between neutral and ground. The leakage inductance of the isolation transformer, in combination with capacitive elements and metal oxide varistors (MOVs), provide superb noise filtering, as well as coordinated multi-stage surge protection in accordance with the principles of IEC-61312. Multiple cooling fans control the unit’s internal temperature, with intakes at the bottom of the unit and exhaust through the top rear of the unit, protected with a rain guard/sunshield.

Auto-transformer Automatic voltage regulator UL/cUL listed

SLc-600/1200/1800 ~ 5/10/15A, 600VA/1.2 /1.8kVA, 120vac

This automatic voltage regulator provides stable power even when the ac mains or back-up generator voltage is extremely low or high.

Typical applications SLc Series conditioners provide low-cost ac line protection for computers, point-of-sale terminals, copiers, data acquisition and control systems, as well as other data processing equipment. SLc’s can also be used to protect low-cost stand-by UPS to prevent discharge of UPSbatteries due to low- or high-voltage transfer to inverter.

Key benefitsTSi Power’s SLc Series regulated output protects switch-mode power supplies from failure caused by unstable ac mains. SLc provides three-way surge protection and reduction of surge voltage. The SLc line conditioner can be used between a UPS and the ac mains to provide even greater protection for the connected equipment, while saving the UPS's internal batteries for true black-outs.

How the SLc Series worksThe SLc Series incorporates a four-winding auto-transformer, which provides four levels of line regulation: two boost-stage and one buck-stage. Even when the input voltage varies between 75 to 150V, the output is regulated to within 105 and 130V, well within the range of most equipment. SLc operation is monitored by four status LED’s, indicating normal, boost 1, boost 2 and buck stages of voltage regulation. The front panel power switch turns the SLc unit on and supplies power to the equipment.

Wide temperature battery Flexibility of adding extra battery cabinets

UPs-400Wtb ~ 400VA, 250W, 120vac, with wide temperature battery

TSi Power's Flexible Series wide temperature battery UPS is an excellent choice for those applications that require battery backup with good surge protection, a wide temperature battery for usage in more extreme environments, and the flexibility of being able to add additional battery cabinets for extended run-time.

Typical applications UPs-400Wtb is the ideal UPS for computer or telecommunications equipment in extreme wide temperature -20o to +60oC(-4o to +140 oF) environments where ac power delivery is unreliable and long battery backup times may be necessary. The UPs-400Wtb is suitable where power outages are a regular occurrence, or in areas where utilities need to conduct rolling blackouts.

Key benefitsThe UPs-400Wtb protects connected equipment from: power supply failure, erroring, system lockups and re-boots. It contributes to enhanced systems operation, greater reliability, improved repeatability, and extended operating life. Typical back-up time fully loaded is 8 minutes, but 20 minutes can be obtained when the unit is loaded to 50% of its capacity. Thus, an application requiring 200VA can be provided with 20 minutes of hold-up. The capability of adding extra EXt-400Wtb external battery packs also makes this a very cost-effective choice for enabling nearly unlimited holdup times. Custom Settings: DIP switches in the rear panel allow the user to set brownout sensitivity, inverter operating frequency, or alarm mode, for complete flexibility and control of the UPS.

Key features• Wide temperature battery

-20o to +60oC (-4o to +140oF)• Add-on battery cabinet flexibility • User-selectable 50/60Hz frequency• Electronics ~ Two year warranty

Batteries ~ One year warranty

How the UPs-400WTB worksThe UPs-400Wtb continually provides surge protection with a capacitive element, and coordinated MOV surge protection. Upon loss of power, the audible alarm beeps about once a second, as the battery inverter kicks in within 8ms, which means equipment will continue to operate without interruption. When the battery level drops until only a few minutes of holdup time remain, the alarm will beep, and the LED will flash more rapidly, alerting of impending shutdown.A DB-9 female connector provides communications capability with monitoring software which can safely save open files and automatically shutdown your systems.

ModelUPs-600

600 VA400 watts120 volts8 min @ 400W 20 min@ 200W

TSi Power's Flexible Series UPS is an excellent choice for those applications that require battery backup with good surge protection, And the flexibility of being able to add additional battery cabinets for extended run-time.

Typical applications UPs-600 is the ideal UPS for computer or telecommunications equipment in environments where ac power delivery is unreliable and several hours of backup time are necessary.

Key benefitsThe UPs-600 protects connected equipment from power supply failure, erroring, system lockups and re-boots. It contributes to enhanced systems operation, greater reliability, improved repeatability, and extended operating life. Typical back-up time fully loaded is 8 minutes, but 20 minutes can be obtained when the unit is loaded to 50% of its capacity. Thus, an application requiring 300VA can be provided with 20 minutes of hold-up. The capability of adding extra EXt-400 external battery packs also makes this a very cost-effective choice for enabling nearly unlimited battery backup times. Custom settings: DIP switches in the rear panel allow the user to set brownout sensitivity, inverter operating frequency, or alarm mode, for complete flexibility and control of the UPS.

How the UPs-600 worksThe UPs-600 continually provides power protection with a capacitive element and a fast-acting MOV (metal oxide varistor).Upon loss of power, the audible alarm beeps as the unit transfers to the battery inverter in less than 8ms. When the battery level drops until only a few minutes of holdup time remain, the alarm will beep, and the LED will flash more rapidly, alerting of impending shutdown.A DB-9 connector provides communications with monitoring software which can safely save open files and automatically shut down your systems.

Key features of the UPs-600• Add-on battery cabinet flexibility • Surge protection is included• DB-9 female connector provides

communications capability with optional monitoring and automatic shutdown software

• Customizable brownout sensitivity• User-selectable 50 or 60Hz • 2 year warranty on electronic parts

UPs-10000/16000/21000 ~ 1 /1.6/2.1kVA, 750/1000/1500W, 120vac

UPs UPs

TSi Power’s Premium Series UPS are constructed with a rugged, ferroresonant no-break design and a fully isolated sinewave output with neutral-to-ground bond. This series offers the best surge protection available, with excellent noise filtering, remote on/off control, and optional extended battery back-up.

Key benefitsThis rugged industrial-strength ferroresonant design reduces the number of solid-state devices required for power conversion and is suitable for use in severe environments. All models can be rack-mounted in 19, 23, or 24" racks. Standard battery run-time is about 30 minutes under typical 50% load. If additional battery runtime is required, EXt-8000 Battery Extension Units can be daisy-chained to the UPS unit to provide hours of battery runtime.

How the Premium Series worksThe constant output isolation transformer provides 100% isolation from the input ac line. The regulated output protects switchmode power supplies from failure caused by unstable ac mains. The secondary neutral is bonded to ground, thus eliminating all surge voltages between neutral and ground. This type of surge protection is superior to all other technologies and is further enhanced thanks to the built-in low-pass filter, which takes the edge off even very fast transients. UPS status is monitored by LED indicators, LED bargraph displays and audible signals for ac status, inverter status, output voltage, load, and battery status. Alarm interface: Upon loss of power, the audible alarm will beep. Because the Premium Series is a continuous sinewave ‘No-break’ UPS system, power to equipment loads will be completely unaffected. As the battery level drops until only a few minutes of holdup time remains, the audible alarm will change, warning of impending shutdown.Communications: A DB-9 female connector in the rear panel provides communications capability with most network operating systems such as Novell, Unix, Solaris, Windows, Linux, etc. Optional monitoring software may be needed for some operating systems.

XUPs and UPs Automatic Shutdown Instructions for Windows XP Professional

ConfiguringWindows XP For TSi UPs

Windows XP Professional now has UPS based computer system automatic shutdown built-in.

Preparing for UPS configurationBefore you start the configuration in Windows XP, make sure your UPS communication cable is properly plugged into a COM port on your computer. To help prevent any possible damage, do this while both the computer and UPS are turned off, and both units have their plugs inserted into properly grounded outlets.

Setting up UPS power options1. Click Windows- Start > Control Panel

> Power Options, then the UPS tab.

2. Then, click on the Select button. This will open up the UPS selection dialog box.

3. Under Select Manufacturer, click on the drop-down menu button, and click on Generic.

4. Under Select model, click on Custom.

5. Check that the Default Port Setting is correct (probably COM 1). If your UPS is plugged into a different port, change it accordingly.

6. Click on the Next button.

UPs interface configuration7. Checkmark all three boxes for:

Power Fail/On Battery, Low Battery, and UPS Shutdown.

8. Select Positive polarity for all three.9. Then, click on the Finish button.

UPs-Shutdown-Instructions-Win-XP-2006-10-16.pdf

Defining UPS power options10. Click on the Hibernation tab.

11. Checkmark Enable hibernation if you want the system to be able to save your open files and conduct an orderly shut-down after a certain amount of time. Except for certain unusual situations, this is usually the preferred choice.

12. Next, click on the UPS tab again. Then,click on the Configure button.

Setting up your UPS configuration13. Now, set up the UPS Configuration.

14. Checkmark the Enable all notifica-tions box, and set for 30 seconds, or other time, depending on your needs. Generally, electric utilities have auto-matic “reclosure” operations which attempt to restore power up to 3 times, each time taking about 10 seconds. If power hasn’t been restored after 30 seconds, you usually are in a “hard down” situation, and most likely will be out of power for at least 30 minutes.

15. In the Critical alarm area, checkmark the Minutes on battery before critical alarm. To preserve battery life, once you are past 30 seconds during an outage, it is usually advisable to start hibernation/shutdown, or shutdown, as soon as possible. Two minutes is the fastest setting.

16. Checkmark the Finally turn off the UPS. With this checked, the system will then automatically turn off the UPS, and it will automatically come back up when the AC power is restored.

17. Click on the Okay button.This will return the Power Options Prop-erties dialog box with UPS tab.

18. Click on either OK or Apply to finish.19. Save any files you may have open.20. Open some test files.21. Test the system with some outages a

few times to ensure correct operation.Note: Use a circuit breaker or some other safe means to simulate the outages. Do not just unplug the UPS, as doing so disconnects the safety ground.

ILc-VRp

ILc-2000-VRp-Dual-Range ~ 2kVA, 1.8kW, 120+240vac

Continuous fast and no-break PWM voltage regulationThe ILc-VRp dual range automatic precision voltage regulator with built-in low-impedance isolation transformer allows trouble-free operation of electronic equipment over a very wide ac voltage range of 120 or 240vac +/-20% found in many developing countries. Output regulation responds in less than one line cycle and corrects output voltage to +/-2.5% with 20,000 corrections per second. There is no switching of taps or otherwise a break in the power path as continuous PWM (pulse-width-modulation) switching of the primary windingof a buck-boost transformer leaves the secondary power path intact.

Key features of the ILc-VRp Series dual range isolation line conditioner with precision PWM automatic voltage regulation

• Dual voltage input enables use with either 120vac or 240vac power

• Dual voltage output enables 115vac via two NEMA 5-15R receptacles, and/or 230vac via one BS1362 socket

• Outstanding voltage regulationunder normal input range of: +/- 20% of 120 or 240vac, output voltage will be a precision 115 or 230vac +/-2.5% (47~ 63Hz)

• No switching of power path and unit always starts up on sine wave zero crossing, reducing inrush currents

• Failsafe: automatic bypass • Coordinated surge protection

per IEC61312• Common-mode noise elimination• Advanced noise and interference


• Lightweight design• Two year warranty

Typical ILc-VRp applications Designed for applications where absolutely safe and precisely regulated ac power is required, such as mobile telecommunications, wireless, satellite and carrier equipment.

162 ILc-VRp SeriesILc-2000-VRp-Dual Range

Key ILc-2000-VRp-Dual Range system benefitsThe lightweight, high efficiency dual voltage range ILc-VRp is easy to install in indoor environments. The unit comes in a rack-mountable enclosure and has the ability to accept either 120vac or 240vac +/-20% input via either a IEC320 C-20 input connector for the 120vac, or an IEC320C-13 inlet connector for the 240vac. Power output is up to 1800watts, and can be drawn from Either/or Both 115vac and 230vac +/-2.5%, as long as total output power is not exceeded.115vac and 230vac outputs are provided via two standard NEMA 5-15R receptacles for the 115vac, and one UK BS1363 outlet connector for the 230vac.The automatic bypass assures that connected equipment will not shut down, even if the ILc-VRp unit were to fail. The ILc-VRp is compatible with all loads as it does not switch any components in the power path. ILc-VRp’s ultra-low impedance assures stability even with the most demanding loads.The isolation line conditioner components provide maximum equipment protection against surges, spikes and transients, for higher equipment reliability and maximum equipment operating life. In addition, improved repeatability, fewer reboots or system lock-ups. Also, a reduction in equipment down time and service costs can be expected.Maximum transformer and regulator performance, reliability and lifetime is achieved by a design with no moving mechanical parts other than a thermostatically controlled high reliability cooling fan to control the unit’s internal temperature.

How the ILc-VRp 2000VA Dual Range system worksThe ILc-VRp unit is comprised of an automatic precision voltage regulator, and an isolation line conditioner. Unit has a front panel key switch to select either 120vac or 240vac, with a safety interlock to prevent voltage from appearing on unused terminals. The high frequency IGBT driven converter microprocessor takes the incoming ac power, measures against the nominal voltage and adds or subtracts voltage, 20,000 times per second, to achieve precisely regulated 230 or 120vac output, cycle by cycle. Voltage correction times do not exceed 1 cycle, or 20 milliseconds for all mains ac voltage changes, even for instantaneous voltage changes from 96 to 144vac (when at the 120vac input setting) or from 192 to 288vac (when at the 240vac input setting). The ILc-VRp starts on sine wave zero voltage crossing point upon turn-on. This reduces potentially damaging inrush currents into difficult loads.The automatic bypass will be activated when there is a fault condition, and makes operation possible without regulation. Three LEDs display unit status, the Green LED indicates Normal (regulating protected mode operation), Yellow LED indicates Bypass (non-regulated output), and the Red LED indicates a Fault condition. (If Green LED is off, it means internal circuit board needs replacement).A low-impedance isolation transformer provides complete isolation between the primary and secondary, and permits bonding its output neutral to ground, which completely eliminates all disturbances between neutral and ground. The leakage inductance of the isolation transformers, in combination with capacitive elements and MOVs, provide superb noise filtering, as well as coordinated multi-stage surge protection in accordance with the principles of IEC-61312.

Precision PWM Automatic Voltage Regulator with Automatic Bypass

VRp VRp


Precision fast-PWMac mains voltage correctionTSi Power’s VRp automatic precision regulator line conditioner provides output voltage within plus/minus 3% of nominal, for input voltage that varies between 95 to 145vac. There is no switching of taps or otherwise a break in the power path thanks to continuous PWM switching of a buck-boost transformer.

Typical applications Designed for applications that require absolutely stable, high-reliability power, without switching components in the power path. Applications include, but are not limited to: analytical equipment, radio and TV broadcast equipment, mobile broadcast vans, industrial controllers (PLC), milking machines, lithographic equipment, recording studio equipment and electrolysis equipment.

Key benefitsThe low weight, high efficiency VRp is easy to install in any environment. The automatic bypass assures that connected equipment will not shut down, even if VRp fails. VRp is compatible with all loads as it does not switch any components in the power path. VRp’s ultra-low impedance assures stability even with the most demanding loads.

How the VRp Series worksThe high frequency IGBT driven converter takes the incoming ac power, measures against the nominal voltage and adds or subtracts voltage, 20,000 times per second, to achieve the nominal output voltage +/-3%. The automatic bypass will be activated when there is a fault condition. Green LED indicates Normal (regulating mode operation), Yellow LED indicates Bypass (non-regulated output), and the Red LED indicates a Fault condition.

Precision fast-PWM ac mains voltage correctionTSi Power’s VRp automatic precision regulator allows trouble-free operation of electronic equip-ment over a very wide mains ac voltage range of 160 to 300V found in many developing countries. There is no switching of taps or otherwise a break in the power path thanks to continuous PWM switching of a buck-boost transformer.

Typical applications Designed for applications where absolutely safe and precisely regulated ac power is required, such as mobile communication (GSM/satellite/wireless broadband), radio/TV broadcasting, industrial process controller (PLC), medical (mobile MRI, CT) and laboratory or analytical measurement equipment.

Key benefitsVRp is compatible with all loads as it does not switch any components in the power path. VRp’s ultra-low impedance assures stability even with the most demanding loads. The automatic bypass assures that connected equipment will not shut down, even if VRp fails.

How the VRp Series worksThe high frequency IGBT driven converter takes the incoming ac power, measures against the nominal voltage and adds or subtracts voltage, 10,000 times per second, to achieve precisely regulated 230vac output. The automatic bypass will be activated when there is a fault condition. Green LED indicates Normal (regulating mode operation), Yellow LED indicates Bypass (non-regulated output), and the Red LED indicates a Fault condition.

Key VRp-ILc benefitsThe lightweight, high efficiency VRp-ILc is easy to install in indoor environments. The unit comes in a specially designed IP20 rated enclosure with thermostatically controlled fans and has removable lifting eyes to enable use of lifting equipment.The automatic bypass assures that connected equipment will not shut down, even if VRp-ILc fails. VRp-ILc is compatible with all loads as it does not switch any components in the power path. VRp-ILc’s ultra-low impedance assures stability even with the most demanding loads.The automatic over-voltage/under-voltage cutoff with automatic restart ensures that operation is off-line during serious over-voltage or under-voltage situations that could damage the system and/or load, and then restarts without intervention when the ac mains voltage becomes within the operating range. The ILc isolation line conditioner components provide maximum equipment protection against surges, spikes and transients, for higher equipment reliability and maximum equipment operating life. In addition, improved repeatability, fewer reboots or system lock-ups. In addition, a reduction in equipment down time and service costs can be expected.TSi’s use of three separate transformers, one per phase, minimizes the dangers associated with single phasing or lost phase problems associated with a three phase transformer built on a common (single) core.Maximum transformer and regulator performance, reliability and lifetime is achieved by a design with no moving mechanical parts other than cooling fans.

VRp-ILcVRp-ILc

How the VRp-ILc Series worksThe VRp-ILc unit is comprised of a VRp section - an automatic precision voltage regulator, and an ILc section - an isolation line conditioner, each in its own separate compartment.The high frequency IGBT driven converter microprocessor takes the incoming ac power, measures against the nominal voltage and adds or subtracts voltage, 20,000 times per second, to achieve precisely regulated 230/400 vac three phase output, cycle by cycle. Voltage correction times do not exceed 1 cycle, or 20 milliseconds for all mains ac voltage changes, even for instantaneous voltage changes from 160 to 300vac or from 300 to 160vac. The automatic bypass will be activated when there is a fault condition. Three LEDs display unit status, the Green LED indicates Normal (regulating protected mode operation), Yellow LED indicates Bypass (non-regulated output), and the Red LED indicates a Fault condition.The over-voltage and under-voltage cutoff is activated whenever the ac mains input voltage becomes dangerously high or low (>300vac or <160vac). It automatically restarts whenever ac mains voltage is restored within <300vac and >160vac.Three separate low-impedance isolation transformers provide complete isolation between the primary and secondary, and permits bonding its output neutral to ground, which completely eliminates all disturbances between neutral and ground. The leakage inductance of the isolation transformers, in combination with capacitive elements and MOVs, provide superb noise filtering, as well as coordinated multi-stage surge protection in accordance with the principles of IEC-61312.High reliability cooling fans control the unit’s internal temperature, with intake and exhaust through vents on sides of the unit.

Pure sine wave PWM dc to ac inverter Voltage regulation + isolation

These heavy-duty XINv Series dc to ac inverters are housed in a 2U rack-mountable enclosure. XINv PWM inverters feature a transformer isolated sine wave output. They are designed for all applications requiring continuous pure sine wave power. They produce 115 volts ac from 24volts dc.

Key XINv benefitsXINv uses high-performance microprocessor and unipolar pulse-width-modulated (PWM) power conversion circuits for high efficiency and low input dc ripple currents. They also feature high dc to ac power conversion efficiency, pure sine wave output and long MTBF. XINv also provides precision automatic voltage regulation: of 115vac +/-3% and less than 5% THD. XINv’s 2U high construction with optional wall or rack-mounting kits provides maximum flexibility for telecom and industrial users. XINv offers a hardwire terminal block battery connection with a dc circuit breaker for external 24vdc battery banks.

How the XINv worksA rugged, high-performance microprocessor and unipolar pulse-width-modulated (PWM) power conversion circuit takes the dc input and converts it into a pure sine wave. The circuitry automatically adjusts the duty cycle of the output for all loads and inputs. XINv delivers a stable 60Hz +/-0.5% frequency. A dc circuit breaker protects all dc circuits, and an overload shutdown feature protects the inverter from overload. When the input dc voltage drops below 21volts, a DB9 connector in the rear of the inverter sends signals for inverter output failure and low dc input voltage. A comprehensive array of output current, battery charge levels, and status LED indicators are provided for visual assessment of inverter status. A DB-9 port is provided for communication using RS-232 or dry relay contact signals.

Rack-mountable Dc to Ac Inverter

Typical XINv applications Applications include all waveshape sensitive equipment such as telecommunications systems, industrial, measurement and other mission-critical, harmonic-sensitive electronics. They are also ideal for use in facilities with 24vdc rectifier/battery power plants, where the inverter can be used to provide the function of a double-conversion on-line UPS.

Coordination of TelecommunicationsSurge Protective Devices in Countries with Unstable Ac Power

ZONED PROTECTION STRATEGY

AbstractThe rapid growth of the world market for telecommunications equipment will continue for the next several years. Manufacturers of radio infrastructure and switching equipment are based in the USA, Europe and Japan with some minor exceptions. Yet, these manufacturers are often not familiar with power quality in places far away from their home countries. The needs for surge protective devices vary from market to market and are especially challenging in the emerging countries. Why? Surge protection in the USA and Europe is based on the assumption that the ac power-line voltage is relatively stable. Developing countries, however, often have inadequate infrastructures for the generation and distribution of electric power. The lack of stable ac power complicates the selection and coordination of surge protective devices considerably. This paper will review the new IEC surge protection standards and discuss how to achieve coordination of surge protective devices in accordance with IEC 1312 principles.

208 White Paper SeriesCoordination of Telecom Surge Protective Devices In Countries With

IntroductionIEC standards are used throughout Europe and in many other parts of the world. CE marking is based on such IEC standards. CE marking involves both equipment safety and electromagnetic compatibility while UL only involves safety. Thus, all electronic equip-ment that carry the CE label should have been tested to withstand static electricity, electric fast transients and surge voltages. This paper will focus on the surge voltage aspects.

IEC 1000-4-5 is a Combination Wave consisting of a voltage waveform of 1.2/50 µs with an amplitude of 2000 V in normal mode and 4000 V in common mode, and a current wave form of 8/20 µs at 2000 A. The Combination Wave is identical to the U.S. ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 Combination Wave with the following exceptions: the ANSI/IEEE voltage is 6000 V and the current is 3000 A.

In the IEC standard, the equipment that is tested for surge immunity is referred to as the "vulnerable equipment." Hence, the term "vulnerable equipment" will be used in this paper. All "vulnerable equipment" must be able to withstand IEC 1000-4-5 without upset, thus guaranteeing a certain level of surge immunity, which will be sufficient for most office environments. IEC has developed a series of standards that apply to enhanced surge protection of equipment and structures in cases where built-in equipment surge immunity is not sufficient. Telecom installations in outdoor shelters and enclosures are good examples of when enhanced surge immunity is required.

This paper will review key aspects of the following IEC standards:

• IEC 1024-1: 1990 Protection of Structures Against Lightning -- Part 1: General Principles

• IEC 1312-3: Protection Against Electromagnetic Impulse -- Part 3: Requirements of Surge Protective Devices.

SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Fluctuating power line voltageCauses

Overloaded, inadequate power generation and distribution systems, particularly when large step load changes are present, result in large voltage sags and surges. Voltage fluctuations between 155V to more than 310V have been observed in the field. Differences between day- and night-time voltage of 40V have also been observed.

Such conditions are common in Africa, India, Pakistan and China, but can be found in many other areas. Additional power plants and distribution infrastructure is needed in many developing countries. Timely power plant expansion is prevented by political and economic issues, which means the problem is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Effects• Sags and undervoltages can cause component overheating or destruction,

which reduces the life and deteriorates the real reliability as opposed to the estimated reliability, based on steady-state conditions of the power supply

• Swells and overvoltages can cause component overheating and destruction of MOVs, SCRs and input capacitors that are rated too close to the line voltage. It is fairly common for power supply and telecom rectifier manufacturers to rate

209

input MOVs at 275Vrms with the apparent objective of reducing the surge remnant voltage, thus providing better surge immunity of the power supply. The author of this paper has observed still-functioning telecom rectifiers where the input MOVs had been completely destroyed by high line voltage.Boost converters can be destroyed by voltage swells that cause increased energy storage in the input filter, which charges the output capacitor to an unsafe level. The charge level is dependent on the value of the output capacitor and the load levels for the dc to dc converter connected to the output of the boost converter.

• Poorly damped EMI filters can dramatically magnify the effects of voltage disturbances. The result can be oscillations inside the EMI filter during transi-tional conditions. Severe voltage surges may result from energy released when saturated inductors are looking for a path to release energy.

Frequent lightning conditionsReview of IEC 1024-01This standard relates to the protection of structures against lightning. A structure can be anything from a high rise building to an outdoor shelter containing telecommunica-tions equipment. IEC 1024 introduces the concept of Lightning Protection Zones (LPZ). Figure 1 below illustrates the basic zone concept.

Figure 1

The purpose of LPZs is to divert the surge energy from lightning and other disturbances away from the "vulnerable equipment." The majority of the energy should be diverted at the lowest zone boundaries. The number of required zones is determined by the physi-cal properties of the structure and the sensitivity of the "vulnerable equipment."


Sensitive equipment installed in outdoor shelters, particularly when a poor physical ground is present, require a higher number of zones. Basic Lightning Protection Zones and surge current waveforms are explained below:

LPZ 0A

This zone is subject to direct lightning strokes and may have to carry the full lightning current. The unattenuated electromagnetic field occurs here.

100 kA, 10/350 µs 200 A, 0.5 s 25 kA, 0.25/100 µs

Figure 2 shows a comparison between the 10 x 350 µs test waveform and lower-energy Combination Wave.

Figure 2

LPZ 0B

This zone is not subject to direct lightning strokes. The unattenuated electromagnetic field occurs here.

10 kV, 1.2/50 µs 5 kA, 8/20 µs

LPZ 1This zone is not subject to direct lightning strokes and currents on all conductive parts within this zone are further reduced from previous zones. The electromagnetic field may also be attenuated depending on the screening measures.


211

LPZ 2When a further reduction of conducted currents and/or magnetic field is required, subsequent zones can be introduced.

In general, the higher the number of zones, the lower the electromagnetic environment parameters.

LPZ 3According to the author’s interpretation of IEC standards, this zone should contain the protected equipment. The requirement for Zone 3 is that the remnant surge voltage does not exceed the test levels specified in IEC 1000-4-5:

Combination Wave, 1.2/50 µs, 8/20 µs 2000 A

Normal-Mode Voltage: 2000 V

Common-Mode Voltage: 4000 V

Review of IEC 1312-3

Lightning surges contain significant amounts of energy which needs to be diverted away from the "vulnerable equipment." Electronic equipment, if CE marked, is designed with a certain built-in surge voltage immunity in accordance with IEC 1000-4-5 — this level of immunity will be sufficient for the majority of office buildings when the "vulnerable equipment" is located far away from the electric service entrance. Thus, equipment that carries the CE mark will work well without surge protection in many environments.

However, when the "vulnerable equipment" is installed close to the electric service entrance, or in an outdoor enclosure, particularly in areas with a poor physical ground (dry sand, rock, etc.), it is often necessary to add external surge protective devices (SPDs). IEC recommends (IEC 1024) that lightning protection zones (LPZ) be established to successively reduce lightning currents, in stages, down to the built-in immunity of the "vulnerable equipment." The number of zones required depends on the structure containing the installation and the "vulnerable equipment." IEC 1024 requires that an SPD be installed at each zone boundary. The surge current and voltage ratings of individual SPDs must not be exceeded.

Purpose of coordinationTo progressively reduce the lightning threat, in stages (SPD 1, 2 & 3) down to the surge withstand capability of the "vulnerable equipment," without exceeding surge current and voltage ratings of individual SPDs.

Coordination conceptsIEC 1312 defines four coordination "variants." The first three utilize individual single-port SPDs while the fourth variant is a two-port hybrid design.

Variant IShown in figure 3, the rated voltage of SPDs is identical and coordination is achieved by separating each SPD by means of series impedance.


Figure 3

Variant I is not recommended by the IEC, probably because it would require approximately 30’ (10 m) of wire or separate inductors between each SPD, which is not practical when installing equipment close to the electric service entrance or in outdoor enclosures.

Variant IIShown in figure 4, the rated voltages of SPD's are stepped so that the SPD in the "vulnerable equipment" has the highest rated voltage and SPD 3, 2 & 1 have progressively lower rated voltages, thus assuring that each upstream SPD would divert progressively higher currents.

Figure 4

Variant II is difficult to implement as most power supplies, uninterruptible power systems and telecom rectifiers, rated for 230 Vac, use input SPDs with a 275 Vrms rating. Thus, stepping down rated voltage, would cause SPD 1 and 2 to be destroyed by normal line voltage fluctuations-experience has shown that fluctuations of plus 10% resulting in 250V is not unusual.


213

Variant IIIShown in figure 5, includes a component with a non-linear current/voltage characteristic, such as a spark gap. The SPD 1 spark gap would divert the majority of the surge current and output a Combined Wave, similar to ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991, Category B3, Combination Wave, 3000 A, 6000 V, to downstream SPDs 2 and 3. The voltage ratings of SPD 2 and 3 are identical, but each device will handle considerably less current due to the much higher energy handling capability of spark gap SPD 1.

Figure 5

Variant III is a better choice than I or II as the spark gap is insensitive to fluctuations in line voltage. However, spark gap follow-on, short-circuit current may be an issue, and MOVs will still be sensitive to line voltage fluctuations.

Variant IV

Figure 6

Figure 6 shows a two-port hybrid device that incorporates cascaded stages of SPDs internally coordinated with series impedance.


A hybrid device can be designed to maximize performance while reducing the undesirable characteristics of spark gaps and SPDs based on varistor or silicon-avalanche-diode technology. The use of a hybrid device eliminates the need to coordinate surge protective devices, but does not eliminate sensitivity to prolonged ac overvoltage.

Proposed hybrid device in accordance with Variant IVThe purpose of the circuit shown in figure 7 below is to provide, in a condensed space, the critical functions required for a universal ac power interface used in outdoor shelters for cellular, fixed wireless and other telecom equipment. The major functions required are out-lined below:

• Surge protective device coordination for successive reduction of surge currents,• High energy handling capability,• Tolerance against high line voltage,• Adjustment for local nominal voltage variation,• Low dv/dt rise time,• Function not dependent on performance of internal protection of "vulnerable

equipment."

Figure 7

Discussion of circuit features shown in figure 7The protection scheme is designed to work with an outdoor equipment shelter even when "vulnerable equipment" uses 275V MOVs as internal protection. In this case it is impossible to provide coordination in accordance with Variant II and Variant I is not practical, because the required wiring distances of 30’ between SPD's are too short in an outdoor equipment shelter.

The spark gap is designed to provide primary protection within LPZ 0 and ignites when the surge voltage reaches approximately 2000V. The series inductance provided introduces the necessary coordination and reliable ignition of the spark gap. The output of the spark gap is a Combination Wave and is easily handled by the circuits in LPZ 1 and 2. Spark gaps can handle considerably more energy than MOV or SAD arrays and are not sensitive to line voltage fluctuations and are also more cost effective. The major disadvantage of a spark gap is the follow-on current which can cause tripping of upstream circuit protection devices. However, new-technology spark gaps based on the arc-chopping principle provide significant performance improvements.


215

The new spark gap technology shown in figure 8 consists of two electrodes positioned opposite each other, held in place by a barrier and separated by a baffle. This arrange-ment and spacing of electrodes is called "arc chopping" and provides reliable ignition of the arc, which is then chopped by the baffle into several smaller arcs. Special versions with reduced follow-on current are available for branch circuits and services up to 75 kVA.

The neutral-to-ground bond provided at the service entrance or by a separate isolation transformer eliminates all surge voltages between neutral and ground and the requirement for SPD's between power carrying conductors and ground.

The series inductor with primary buck-boost windings provides static adjustment for different nominal voltages that can range from 200 to 250 V. The buck-boost windings can also be controlled automatically if the line voltage is chronically unstable. The series inductor also forms a two-pole filter together with the shunt capacitor. The filter reduces the surge voltage rise time (dv/dt) from 6 kV/µs to 10 V/µs thus providing considerable relief for the "vulnerable equipment." The filter which starts conduction well before MOV 1 also provides protection against electric fast transients and other line noise.

MOV 1, located within LPZ 2, is a 40-mm device rated for 275 Vrms, which is made possible due to the voltage adjustment provided by the buck-boost windings on the primary of the series inductor. In other words, MOV 1 is well-protected against premature failure caused by high nominal voltages. Now available in attractive packaging, easy-to-replace MOVs provide thermal disconnect and alarms in case of failure.

TSi UPS systems back-up signal transmitters that send critical flight information to all airplanes approaching any airport for landing.

TSi Power supplies Federal Aviation Administration with UPSSince 1991, TSi Power has been providing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with UPS systems designed to provide 6 to 8 hours of battery back-up time in hostile environments. The TSi UPS systems back-up signal transmitters that send critical flight information to all airplanes approaching any airport for landing. The transmitters & UPS systems are housed in unmanned and non- air-condi-tioned equipment huts that are subject to extreme temperature swings between winter and summer. Several hundred systems were installed nationwide and have been operational since 1991 with minimal field problems. The FAA was so impressed with their performance that they have continued to install our UPS systems at hundreds of sites. So if you have a system that is exposed to harsh conditions, then a rugged TSi UPS is your solution!

TSi Power backs up White House telecommunications system with UPS and ARm-1000 automatic transfer switches

There is no more mission critical communications system than the Presidential telecommunications system run by the State Department. It is responsible for rout-ing and tracking all telecommunications between the White House and the world. This system is backed up with both a TSi Power UPS system and a large genera-tor UPS system to provide back-up power redundancy. In case of a problem with the primary ac source, TSi Power’s ARM-1000 Automatic Redundancy Module automatically detects the failed ac line and seamlessly transfers to another ac source without interruption. In the most unlikely event that even the back-up ac source is also defective, a second ARM-1000 can automatically select the second back-up ac source. There is no limit to the levels of redundancy that can be applied to these mission critical systems. By using multiple ARM-1000 units, as many layers of independent power back-up can be achieved as there are power sources available. Independent power sources include battery back-up, alternate utility circuit (from a different power grid), and emergency ac generator sets to name a few. If your system is truly mission critical, then TSi Power has the solu-tion!

The drugs stores’ point-of-sale (POS) computers equipped with these UPS systems continued to operate and record unprecedented sales because all the other drug stores were shut down.

The United States Army relies on TSi Power ac line conditioners for demanding international applications in the field

Having access to accurate and timely information is the key to success in any field in the world, and the Armed Forces are no exception. In 1997, the U.S. Army was dispatched to Bosnia to serve as part of a peacekeeping force to help end the brutal conflict engulfing that region. Army Intelligence, which was responsible for gathering, disseminating and forwarding vast quantities of information to the peacekeeping forces, ran into some problems. During much of their operation, utility power was unavailable. They also found that their UPS technology was not capable of handling the large numbers of spikes, surges, sags and brownouts that were present on the AC line. As a result, the back-up UPS systems they relied on to maintain their computer networks were actually burning out. When all their UPS were gone, they hooked their computers directly into the field generators set up in their camps. This caused catastrophic computer failure. Since an army with no information is no army at all, the U.S. Army turned to TSi Power to create a quick solution. Within a few weeks, the U.S. Army Intelligence was up and running without fear of burning up their UPS systems or their computers after installation of rugged, generator compatible line conditioners from TSi Power.

Major drug store chain powers through an earthquake with TSi UPSIn 1989, a significant earthquake hit the San Francisco area causing millions of dollars in damage and interrupting the basic utilities for the area residents. Panic gripped many of the residents who immediately went to buy emergency food supplies, candles, flashlights, batteries, etc. TSi Power’s UPS systems were backing up three drug stores in San Francisco at the time of the earthquake. These drug stores were open a full eight hour business day entirely on TSi back-up power. The drugs stores’ point-of-sale (POS) computers equipped with these UPS systems continued to operate and record unprecedented sales because all the other drug stores were shut down. This incident convinced the drug store’s corporate executives that extended battery UPS systems were a necessity for uninterrupted operation of retail stores during emergency situations. TSi has the solution for all retail and service industry power protection and back-up power problems!

Medical equipment manufacturer utilizes TSi Power UPS and battery extension units for patient respirators

A leading manufacturer of medical technologies for critical care patients. Since 1990, a leading intensive patient care respirator manufacturer has been using a customized version of TSi Power’s UPS and Battery Extension Units to provide continuous ac power to respirators of critically ill patients. The respirator and UPS system are attached to the patient’s portable bed and moved around inside the hospital (e.g. from the operating room to the recovery room) by simply unplugging the UPS from the ac socket. In order to meet the stringent European medical equipment safety standards, TSi Power’s engineers worked closely with manufacturer’s engineers to implement the necessary modifications to the existing models.

Applied Energy Concepts, a partner of TSi Power, solves telecommunication problems in emerging markets

In January 1998, TSi Power joined with Applied Energy Concepts to increase its range of power quality products and applications on the market today. Applied Energy Con-cepts develops solutions that control electrical surges and regulate voltage for mis-sion-critical electronic systems.

These international applications have included protection for switchmode rectifiers, power supplies and uninterruptible power systems. A major cellular infrastructure supplier’s experience has revealed that conventional surge protection devices have little impact on equipment failures and often fail themselves as a result of inadequate power generation and distribution infrastructures. In thousands of installations worldwide, AEC equipment has proven to consistently reduce high failure rates of telecom rectifiers, UPS, and other equipment connected to the power line. Critical loads such as base transceiver stations (BTS) and nodes for wireless-in-the-local-loop applications as well as other outdoor enclosure installations often require this additional protection.

Constant voltage and isolation of TSi Premium Series UPS key to smooth manufacturing control systems

In 1996, TSi Power was asked to assist a large farming product manufacturer in the middle of Georgia. Nearly one hundred cabinets that control the automated manufacturing equipment had to be manually reset after each power outage (even though they were protected by a well-known, national brand UPS). Each manual reset operation meant a down-time of over one hour for the entire plant and financial losses were piling up quickly, especially during summer months when a number of power outages can occur in a week.

After careful analysis of the problem, TSi engineers concluded that the problem was caused by a lack of voltage regulation, lack of isolation, power conditioning, and long transfer time (to 8 milliseconds) of existing standby UPS units. They recommended the Premium Series UPS-16000 with built in CVT (constant voltage transformer with 100% input/output isolation) and zero transfer time. The result was spectacular. The controller cabinet protected by the TSi Power Premium Series no longer required a manual reset after a power outage while the identical control cabinet powered by the original standby UPS needed a manual reset after each power outage.

By the middle of 1997, the manufacturing plant management decided to replace all of their existing UPS units with TSi Power Premium Series UPS-16000 units. TSi Power is also helping in the disposal of the old standby UPS units that are being replaced since the lead-acid batteries inside the old UPS units must be recycled properly.

Internet service provider keeps the world connected with TSi Power rack-mounted UPS and battery extension units backing them up

In 1996, a leading Internet Service Provider (ISP) began to realize that with increasing frequency of power outages and transients damaging the sensitive equipment in one of their Cisco 7513 routers and other critical communications equipment, it was time to take action. After careful evaluation, they chose TSi Power’s Premium Series rack-mounted UPS, Battery Extension Unit and Automatic/Manual Bypass Unit. In 1998, the ISP is in the process of installing several hundred Premium Series UPS systems in equipment rooms located in all of the major cities in the U.S. This again proves that for Premium Power Protection, customers turn to TSi Power.

Choosing UPS Protection for Underdeveloped Countries

Facing Unusual Challenges

Problems include: Frequent blackouts & ac mains voltages frequently fluctuate beyond the IEC assumed standard of a 184 to 264vac input range.

I. INTRODUCTION

All electrical and electronic equipment users in underdeveloped countries face unusual difficulties in trying to cope with ac power problems. Among the problems are:

1. Frequent blackouts due to inadequate generation capacity;

2. Wide ac mains voltage variation due to inadequate distribution infrastructure;

3. Generally poor quality of the power, in areas such as distortion, spike/noise, frequency, sags/surges and dropouts, especially when generators are used to supplement utility power.

Of course, these problems also exist in developed countries. However, in underdeveloped countries in Africa, South America and Asia, such power problems can occur so often as to cause unacceptable levels of system down time and catastrophic equipment failures. Also, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, which are installed to mitigate the above-mentioned ac power problems, often exhibit unacceptably high failure rates. Standard UPS systems are designed to meet IEC specifications for a mains ac voltage window of 184 to 264vac, while actual mains voltages quite often vary between 160 to 330vac in many developing countries.

Operating a UPS system outside of its specified ac mains voltage window is one of the pri-mary reasons for premature UPS failure. When the other common power quality problems such as surges, spikes, noise, sags, and frequency problems are also considered, designing a reliable UPS system for underdeveloped countries poses a special challenge to UPS manufacturers.

222 White Paper SeriesChoosing UPS Protection For Underdeveloped Countries

II. DIFFERENCES IN UPS REQUIREMENTS

Challenges include:Deep and numerous battery discharges, frequency of power disturbances, small generator aberrant output, wide temperature swings, and non-coordinated systems unable to handle lightning.

A standard UPS designed for use in a developed country (such as in the USA) might encounter the following difficulties when installed in underdeveloped countries:

1. Because of frequent blackouts, the batteries in the UPS, whether online or standby, will be discharged and charged very often. Furthermore, because the duration of the blackout is usually longer than in developed countries, the batteries will be more deeply discharged. These two factors combine to drastically reduce the expected lifetime of the battery. For example, a typical lead-acid battery will last for about 1,200 discharge/charge cycles when the depth discharge is 30% of battery capacity. However, when the depth of discharge is 50%, this number is reduced to 450. And when the depth of discharge is 100%, the number is reduced to below 200. A UPS in the U.S. may experience a 100% discharge/charge cycle about 5 to 10 times a year. In underdeveloped countries, this may occur almost every day, reducing the expected life of the UPS to less than a year.

2. Because of the frequency of power disturbances, the power electronic circuitry in the UPS must work far more often and under greater stress. This is especially true for standby UPS systems, which must make the transfer to battery backup every time there is a power disturbance. Even in double-conversion online UPS systems (where transfer to battery is not required), the power transistors and transformers must operate at higher current and voltage levels during brownout and overvoltage conditions, resulting in a shorter-than-normal operating lifetime of the UPS.

3. The batteries cannot be charged fully when the power disturbances occur so frequently. Consequently, the UPS cannot provide the rated backup time during each power disturbance. This can cause severe problems with mission-critical computers or telecommunications equipment that depend on the UPS to provide the 99.99% (or higher) system availability.

4. Small emergency power generators can cause special problems for when they are used to power a UPS system. They are known to produce wide frequency/voltage fluctuations, surges/spikes, and highly distorted (often non-sinusoidal) outputs which can cause continuous mains/inverter transfer operations, shutdowns, and even catastrophic UPS failure.

5. For sites subject to frequent lightning strikes, absence of a coordinated surge protection system based on IEC Technical Specification 61312-3 "Requirement of Surge Protective Devices" may cause premature failure of UPS due to unmitigated surges and spikes induced on incoming ac power line(s).

6. If the ambient temperature is outside of the optimum 10 to 25 degree C range, standard sealed lead-acid batteries cannot be used. Standard batteries are rated to work only when temperature is above 0 degree C, and sudden bat-tery failure can occur when operating temperature goes above 40 degree C. Even at 30 degrees C, expected battery lifetime is reduced by 50% compared to the expected battery lifetime at 20 degrees C.

III. SOLUTIONS FOR RELIABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE UPS PROTECTION

TSi Power has developed 4 distinct UPS topologies to handle the challenging problem of reliability in underdeveloped countries.

The above-mentioned international power quality problems provide UPS manufactur-ers with a difficult challenge in trying to design UPS systems for underdeveloped countries. It must be recognized that no UPS system can provide foolproof protection against all types of power problems, especially at a reasonable cost. To provide the best solution to power problems in underdeveloped countries requires an intelligent application of technology, coupled with an intimate familiarity with the nature of the problems. Involved in international ac power protection since 1990, TSi Power has developed a family of UPS systems which are particularly useful in underdeveloped countries, with the following features:

1. A Voltage Range Extended UPS (VRe-UPs) provides an input voltage range of 160 to 330vac for a nominal 230vac in/output UPS system. Battery lifetime is maximized since battery discharge takes place during blackouts only (and not for brownout or overvoltage periods). The up-time percentage of a VRe-UPS is significantly higher than a standard UPS since the battery is always kept fully charged even during deep brownouts or overvoltage conditions.

2. Since only regulated 230vac is supplied to transistors and transformers in a VRe-UPs, they are not subjected to excessive voltage, current, or heat even during brownouts or overvoltage periods. Thus, the maximum lifetime of tran-sistors and transformers can be expected, thus increasing the reliability (and up-time percentage) of the VRe-UPS and the connected equipment.

3. When a small emergency power generator is used to power a UPS, the Precision Voltage Regulated UPS (VRp-UPs) should be used. The VRp circuit constantly regenerates a clean sine wave even from a highly distorted and non-sinusoidal output typical of a small power generator. By providing only high-quality, regulated sinewave input to the UPS, the VRp-UPs provides maximum UPS up-time percentage as well as maximum UPS and connected equipment lifetime.

4. When a site is subject to frequent and severe lightning strikes, an Isolation Line Conditioned (ILc-UPs) should be used. By providing transformer isolation, a new neutral-to-ground bond, surge protection at the output side of isolation transformer, and excellent noise filtering between incoming ac and the UPS, a coordinated protection system based on IEC Technical Specifica-tion 61312-3 is included. Therefore, the maximum level of surge protection for the mission-critical equipment is provided by the ILc-UPs.

5. If the ambient temperature is expected to be outside of the recommended 10 to 25 degree C window, a special class of wide-temperature rated batteries (which are guaranteed to work from -20 to +55 degrees C) must be used in order to obtain 5 years (or longer) of battery lifetime.

224 White Paper SeriesChoosing UPS Protection For Underdeveloped Countries

IV. CONCLUSION

A UPS manufacturer must be knowledgeable in handling all the possible power quality problems in the country where the UPS must be installed.

There are special challenges in designing a UPS system which can provide the requisite ac power protection and backup in underdeveloped countries. A UPS manufacturer must be knowledgeable in handling all the possible power quality problems in the country where the UPS must be installed.

Armed with this knowledge of actual conditions in underdeveloped countries, it is possible to provide an enhanced-performance, yet cost-effective UPS system that can withstand hostile conditions and fully protect the connected equipment against the following problems:

1. Wide ac mains voltage variation from 160 to 330vac.

2. Distortion, spike/noise, frequency, sags/surges and dropouts produced by small emergency power generators in wide use in underdeveloped countries due to the shortage of adequate power generation and distribution infrastructures.

3. Surges and spikes caused by frequent lightning strikes nearby.

4. Ambient temperature outside of the 10 to 25 degree C range.

Since 1992, TSi Power has developed several special optional modules, which can be added to the standard UPS, which extend the operating voltage range significantly and maximize the equipment protection level, up-time percentage and the lifetime of the UPS.

In order to ensure reliable UPS operation in an underdeveloped country, a specially modified UPS might be required. TSi Power’s experienced technical staff can work with customers to arrive at the best UPS design for underdeveloped countries.

Designing for Surge Immunityin International Markets

Facing Hostile Environments

Surge immunity means the ability of electronic equipment to operate properly, with a low rate of failure, in the presence of abnormal line voltages and surge voltages from load switching and lightning.

BACKGROUND

Systems integrators in telecommunications and other industries that export to markets all over the world have to design equipment that will operate in electrical environments that may be more hostile than those found in North America or most parts of Western Europe. Power supplies, uninterruptible power systems and telecommunications rectifiers, for international applications, are typically designed to accept an input voltage window of 170 to 270 Vac. In addition, the equipment will have built-in surge withstand capability in accordance with IEC 1000-4-5, if CE marked. It is fairly safe to assume that power supplies and electronic equipment, designed in accordance with IEC standards, will be reasonably reliable in markets with stable power and minor lightning activity. However, conditions encountered in parts of Latin America, Asia, Africa and eastern Europe are often severe enough to cause power supply and sometimes system malfunction. The principals of TSi Power have identified three factors that drastically reduce system reliability:

• Inadequate infrastructure for the generation and distribution of electricity, causing frequent power outages and large voltage fluctuations.

• Inconsistent wiring and installation practices, locations without TN-S grounding systems (TN-S is the international term for three-phase with grounded neutral).

• Frequent lightning activity, especially when combined with a poor ground, thus causing lightning currents to find a path to ground through the power lines.

Designing for surge immunity requires careful attention to a number of factors that may be more or less difficult to control. Surge immunity, in the context of this paper, means the ability of electronic equipment to operate properly, with a low rate of failure, in the presence of abnormal line voltages and surge voltages from load switching and lightning. This paper will discuss factors that may necessitate enhanced surge immunity.

FACTORS AFFECTING EQUIPMENT IMMUNITY

Fluctuating power line voltage

Causes• Overloaded , inadequate power generation and distribution systems,

particularly when large step load changes are present, result in large voltage sags and surges. Voltage fluctuations between 155 to more than 310 V have been observed in the field. Differences between day and night-time voltage of 40 V have also been observed.

• Such conditions are common in Africa, India, Pakistan and China, but can be found in many other areas. Additional power plants and distribution infrastruc-ture is needed in many developing countries. Timely power plant expansion is prevented by political and economic issues, which means the problem is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Most power supplies, telecom rectifiers and UPS for international applications are designed for a nominal voltage of 230V with an input range of 176 to 270V

Effects

Power supplies can fail for a variety of reasons related to voltage fluctuations, the most common ones are listed below:

• Sags and undervoltages can cause component overheating or destruction, which reduces the life and deteriorates the real reliability as opposed to the estimated reliability, based on steady-state conditions of the power supply.

• Swells and overvoltages can cause component overheating and destruction of MOVs, SCR's and input capacitors that are rated too close to the line voltage. It is fairly common for power supply and telecom rectifier manufacturers to rate input MOVs at 275 Vrms with the apparent objective of reducing the surge remnant voltage, thus providing better surge immunity of the power supply. The author of this paper has observed still-functioning telecom rectifiers where the input MOVs had been completely destroyed by high line voltage.

• Typical EMI filters are not well damped, which can dramatically magnify the effects of voltage disturbances. The result can be oscillations inside the EMI filter during transitional conditions. Severe voltage surges may result from energy release where saturated inductors are looking for a path to release energy.

• Boost converters can be destroyed by voltage swells that cause increased energy storage in input filter, which charges the output capacitor to an unsafe level. The charge level is dependent on the value of the output capacitor and the load levels for the DC/DC converter connected to the output of the boost converter.

Remedies

Most power supplies, telecom rectifiers and UPS for international applications are designed for a nominal voltage of 230V with an input range of 176 to 270V. As previously mentioned, input MOVs are typically rated for 275Vrms to reduce surge remnant voltage. Experience suggests that the standard specifications for 230V power supplies are adequate for the majority of installations in major industrial countries. What to do if the supply voltage falls outside of the standard parameters? One possible solution is to specify telecom rectifiers and UPS that can withstand an expanded input range. The drawback is increased cost for the enhanced equipment and limited competitive selection, thus resulting in higher cost. Specifying equipment with enhanced input voltage range is only economical for new installations, not for retrofitting existing sites.


227

Another possibility is to add external voltage regulation devices, which can be cost-effective if the regulation device is sized and installed correctly. Modern voltage regulators can be both cost-effective and reliable, if applied properly. The use of an external voltage regulator makes it possible for the user to specify the best possible equipment without worrying about input voltage range specifications. This approach might be more cost-effective, particularly for existing installations.

Look for the following when specifying voltage regulators:

• Dynamic stability with all kinds of loads including power-factor-corrected,• Input voltage range should be at least 160 to 300 V,• Over voltage cut-off circuit,• Low heat loss,• Low wave form distortion,• By-pass switch to be used when unit fails,• Internal MOVs and capacitors should be sized to withstand 400 Vrms.

Electrical installations are affected by both direct and indirect lightning. A direct hit to a structure may produce 100 kA or more of a 10 x 350 µs wave form according to IEC 1024

Lightning surges

Causes

There are a number of areas in the world that experience a higher-than-average number of lightning days. Such areas are easily identified from an isokeraunic map.

• Electrical installations are affected by both direct and indirect lightning. A direct hit to a structure may produce 100 kA or more of a 10 x 350 µs wave form according to IEC 1024.

• Equipment installed close to the electric service entrance is exposed to considerably higher amounts of energy and may be subjected to the IEC 1024 wave shape above. Equipment installed more than 30’ (10 m) from the service entrance is subjected to the much milder ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991, Category B3, Combination Wave, 3000A, 6000V, as the energy has dissipated some-what before reaching the equipment.A poor physical ground such as rock or dry sand causes lightning current to divert to the power line in order to find a path to ground.

• Incorrectly implemented site grounding may result in lightning current seeking a path to ground through equipment frames and power supplies.

• Use of non-TN-S grounding systems (TN-S is equivalent to three-phase with grounded neutral) can contribute to excessive surge voltages between power carrying conductors and ground.

EffectsPower supplies and the semiconductors used in electronic equipment can fail for a variety of reasons related to surge voltages from lightning and load switching—the most common threats are listed below:

• Destruction of power supply front end including EMI filter, MOVs, fuse holders and other components. Damage to chassis components and equipment frames that carried lightning current. The damaged equipment is usually located close to the electric service entrance and is installed in a region with a high number of lightning days. Typical wave shapes and currents are defined in the IEC 1024 standard.

• Surge voltages can cause damage or destruction to power semiconductors in the power supply.

• Surge voltages can cause false triggering of power supply SCRs and other components, thus causing short circuits that destroy components.


• Nuisance alarm tripping can result from surge voltages triggering detection circuits in the power supply.

• Semiconductor damage can occur as a result of surge voltages getting past the power supply, on to the logic board. The majority of semiconductor devices are intolerant to surge voltages that exceed their voltage ratings. Semiconductor damage occurs when a high reverse voltage is applied to a PN junction that is in the non-conducting state. Semiconductor junctions may avalanche at small points because of the non-uniformity of the electric field. Thermal runaway may result due to localized heat build up, thus causing the melt-through that leads to the destruction of the junction. Note, even a fast surge of a few microseconds may cause a semiconductor to fail catastrophically or cause degradation that shortens its useful life.

• System malfunctions including error messages, reboots, lock-ups, disk drive read/write errors are well known symptoms of surge voltage disturbances.

• A higher-than-average number of service calls and circuit board replacements is the definite confirmation that a system may be exposed to surge voltages that exceed the built-in system immunity.

Remedies

Power supplies, telecommunications rectifiers, UPS and other electronic equipment carrying the CE label have a certain built in level of surge immunity. What factors indicate the need for enhanced surge immunity? The presence of one or all of the following factors should warrant external surge protection in order to strengthen system immunity:

• Critical loads such as base transceiver stations (BTS) and nodes for wireless-in-the-local-loop applications as well as other outdoor enclosure installations often require additional protection,

• Inadequate infrastructure for the generation and distribution of power causing frequent power interruptions and unstable line voltages,

• High nominal line voltage,• Non-TN-S grounding systems,• High number of lightning days,• Poor physical grounding conditions,• Geographic locations where service calls are very expensive.

Look for the following when specifying external surge protection devices:• A primary protection device is required to handle the primary lightning threat that

is defined by IEC 1024.• A secondary protection device is required to divert the remnant of the primary

device.• Surge protective devices (SPD's) need to be coordinated in accordance with the

requirements of IEC 1312. Coordination is essential for proper performance of SPD's. Incorrect coordination can result in the "vulnerable equipment" absorbing most of the energy created by the surge.

• The clamping voltages of SPD's must not be rated too close to the power line voltage. This is especially important in locations with large voltage fluctuations.

• SPD's should have an internal disconnect to take them off line in case of failure. Failure conditions should generate an alarm.

• SPD's should be easy to replace in the field.• Protection should be provided between line and neutral as well as neutral to

ground.


229

• An isolation transformer should be added for non-TN-S systems in order to provide the neutral-to-ground bond that is essential for good surge protection.

• Spark-gap and gas-discharge-tube devices cause follow-on short-circuit current, which requires careful control not to cause problems. Careful attention should be given to ensure that follow-on currents do not cause disruption of the "vulnerable equipment." Proper down-stream inductance is required to ensure that spark gaps fire at the correct voltage level.

• A hybrid SPD may be used if it meets the above requirements.

The U.S. and Canada have consistent rules for grounding and bonding at the service entrance, but these vary between countries throughout the world. Some grounding systems actually contribute to surge voltage problems.

Installation and wiring practices

Causes

Installation and wiring practices are very important to ensure a reliable installation. Electrical installations in the U.S. have to conform to the National Electric Code and local inspectors enforce these and, in some cases, additional local requirements before approving a particular installation. It is often difficult, even in the U.S. and Western Europe where similar requirements exist, to ensure consistent quality practices. The U.S. and Canada have consistent rules for grounding and bonding at the service entrance, but these vary between countries throughout the world. Some grounding systems actually contribute to surge voltage problems. Some common problems are listed below:

• Inadequate wire size or type,• Long overloaded wire runs,• Too many loads on a branch circuit,• Incorrect circuit breakers,• Poor connections,• Ground currents due to incorrect wiring,• Poor ground and conduit connections,• Systems that do not have a clear path to ground for fault currents have to rely on

ground fault detection that sometimes malfunctions,• Mixing electrical equipment that is designed for different standards,• Incorrect grounding of distribution/isolation transformers,• Overloaded utility transformers,• Incorrectly applied surge protection devices.

Effects

The effects on the "vulnerable equipment" can vary from insignificant to major, sometimes intermittent malfunction. It can be very time consuming and costly to diagnose and correct problems, especially when the installation is far away in a country with different languages and customs. Those with experience from solving similar problems in North America will attest that fixing electrical problems can be a challenge even where one is familiar with language and customs. Some typical effects are listed below:

• Load induced voltage changes can cause equipment lock ups,• Load induced over voltage can cause failure of surge protective devices,• Incorrect grounding can cause excessive surge voltages, particularly from

lightning,• Poor wiring connections can create surge voltages that damage or upset

equipment.


Remedies• The following is suggested when planning site power:• Develop universal wire size recommendations in both AWG and square mm,• Develop one set of recommendations for countries that do not use

North-American-style metallic conduits,• Do not use conduit as ground,• Provide dedicated circuits to the "vulnerable equipment,"• Use breakers that are rated for universal use (UL, CSA and IEC),• Make sure that terminations and connections are properly checked before

approving the installation,• Establish a TN-S grounding system.• Ideally, design and build a power distribution module that can be used anywhere

in the world and that is approved by the major safety agencies. Develop simple installation instructions in the appropriate languages.

SUMMARY• Many equipment malfunctions can be traced back to inadequate infrastructure for

power generation and distribution, inadequate installation practices and significant lightning activity coupled with poor grounding systems.

• Installation and grounding practices vary from country to country and are not always enforced.

• Surge-immunity enhancement is often required for installations per above.• The selection and coordination of surge protective devices require careful

attention and planning.• A standardized approach is the best way to ensure consistent system

performance.

IEC 1312 SurgeProtective DeviceCoordination

FOUR COORDINATION VARIANTS

The purpose of SPD coordination is to successively reduce the lightning threat, in stages (SPD 1, 2 & 3) down to the surge withstand capability of the "vulnerable equipment," without exceeding surge current and voltage ratings of individual SPDs.

BackgroundLightning surges contain significant amounts of energy that needs to be diverted away from the "vulnerable equipment" (system that is to be protected from surges). Electronic equipment, if CE marked, is designed with a certain built-in surge voltage immunity in accordance with IEC 1000-4-5—this level of immunity will be sufficient for the majority of office buildings where the "vulnerable equipment" is located far away from the electric service entrance. Thus, equipment that carries the CE mark will work well without surge protection in many environments.However, when the "vulnerable equipment" is installed close to the electric service entrance, or in an outdoor enclosure, particularly in areas with a poor physical ground (dry sand, rock, etc.), it is often necessary to add external surge protective devices (SPDs). IEC recommends (IEC 1024) that lightning protection zones (LPZ) are established to successively reduce lightning currents, in stages, down to the built-in immunity of the "vulnerable equipment." The number of zones required depends on the structure containing the installation and the "vulnerable equipment." IEC 1024 requires that an SPD is installed at each zone boundary? the surge current and voltage ratings of individual SPDs must not be exceeded.

This paper explains the purpose and concept of surge protective device (SPD) coordination in accordance with the IEC 1312 standard.

Purpose of coordinationTo successively reduce the lightning threat, in stages (SPD 1, 2 & 3) down to the surge withstand capability of the "vulnerable equipment," without exceeding surge current and voltage ratings of individual SPDs.

Variant I

Figure 1

Variants I, II & III utilize individual single-port SPD’s. Variant IV is a two-port hybrid design.

Coordination conceptsIEC 1312 defines four coordination "variants." The first three utilize individual single-port SPDs while the fourth variant is a two-port hybrid design.

Variant I

Shown in Figure 1, the rated voltage of SPDs is identical and coordination is achieved by separating each SPD by means of series impedance. Variant I is not recommended by the IEC, probably because it would require approximately 30’ (10 m) of wire or separate inductors between each SPD, which is not practical when installing equipment close to the electric service entrance, or in outdoor enclosures.

Variant II

Shown in Figure 2, the rated voltages of SPDs are stepped so that the SPD in the "vulnerable equipment" has the highest rated voltage and SPD 3, 2 & 1 have progressively lower rated voltages, thus assuring that each upstream SPD would divert progressively higher currents. Variant II is difficult to implement as most power supplies, uninterruptible power systems and telecom rectifiers, rated for 230vac, use input SPDs with a 275Vrms rating. Thus, stepping down rated voltage, would cause SPD 1 and 2 to be destroyed by normal line voltage fluctuations—experience has shown that fluctuations of plus 10% resulting in 250V is not unusual.

White Paper SeriesIEC 1312 Surge Protective Device Coordination

233

Variant II

Figure 2

Variant III is a better choice than I or II as the spark gap is insensitive to fluctuations in line voltage.

Variant IIIShown in Figure 3, includes a component with a non-linear current/voltage character-istic, such as a spark gap. The SPD 1 spark gap would divert the majority of the surge current and output a combined wave, similar to ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991, Category B3, Combination Wave, 3000A, 6000V, to downstream SPDs 2 and 3. The voltage ratings of SPD 2 and 3 are identical, but each device will handle considerably less current thanks to the much higher energy handling capability of spark gap SPD 1. Variant III is a better choice than I or II as the spark gap is insensitive to fluctuations in line voltage. However, spark gap follow-on, short-circuit current may be an issue, and MOVs will still be sensitive to line voltage fluctuations.

Figure 3

WP-IEC-1312-SPD-Coordination-2006-10-16.pdf

Variant IV

Figure 4 shows a two-port hybrid device that incorporates cascaded stages of SPDs internally coordinated with series impedances. A hybrid device can be designed to maximize performance while reducing the undesirable characteristics of spark gaps and SPDs based on varistor or silicon-avalanche-diode technology. The use of a hybrid device eliminates the need to coordinate surge protective devices, but does not eliminate sensitivity to prolonged line over voltage.

Figure 4

SummaryEquipment designed to conform to CE requirements has a built-in surge immunity level that is sufficient in most office applications. However, equipment installed close to the electric service entrance or in an outdoor enclosure, particularly in areas with a large number of lightning days, requires additional protection—especially if the physical ground is poor. Surge protective devices require coordination to perform well. The remnant voltage of the SPD closest to the "vulnerable equipment," shall not exceed its built-in immunity level. Coordination of surge protective devices is not always easy and the best solution may be a two-port, hybrid device, which will simplify the planning and installation process. High line voltage will destroy varistor and silicon-avalanche devices that are rated too close to the line voltage and must be considered when planning for protection in areas with unstable power lines.

The Benefits Provided by UPS and Line Conditioners with an Isolation Transformer

DEDICATION AND ISOLATION

With the recent proliferation of low-cost standby UPS products which claim to "solve all the ac power problems", a false sense of security seems to exist among users who purchased and installed these basic non-isolated UPS for their PCs, fileservers, network/telecommunication equipment, point-of-sale terminals, etc.

Such a false sense of security and confidence is often rudely challenged by equipment glitches, crashes, and malfunctions that persist even after installation of these non-isolated UPS products. The answer to this unexplainable failure of UPS to provide 100% protection against ac power problems can be found in an "Isolation Transformer" based UPS or Line Conditioner.

Experienced electrical engineers have known this limitation of non-isolated UPS, line conditioners, surge protection devices and EMI/RFI noise filters for a long time - and their answer has been a "dedicated circuit" which is a separate ac wire run all the way to the main electrical panel located next to the building’s power transformer. Since the high neutral line voltage and high levels of spikes and transients are caused by devices such as air conditioners, heaters, elevators, copiers, laser printers, etc., bypassing all the sub-panels that feed these "dirty" devices by installing and using a "dedicated circuit" usually solved the problems.However, installation of a dedicated circuit can be very expensive and time-consuming, especially when it is a large or high-rise building. Installation of a dedicated circuit also requires an approval and permit from a licensed professional engineer (PE.), the building wiring diagram and the final drawing and work must be inspected and approved by a local county or city electrical inspector. The cost of a single dedicated circuit can be several thousand dollars and may require several weeks (or months) from start to finish.

The high cost and long installation time of installing a dedicated circuit can be eliminated by using an isolation line conditioner or isolation UPS system, however. Because of the integral isolation transformer, each isolation line conditioner or UPS qualifies as a "Separately derived power source" under National Electrical Code 250-5D. Isolation conditioner and UPS also complies with the U.S. federal government’s FIPS Publication 94 requirement of neutral and ground bonding for elimination of any problems caused by the presence of neutral voltage or common-mode noise/transients.

236 White Paper SeriesThe Benefits of UPS and Line Conditioners with an Isolation Transformer

Additional benefits provided by an isolation line conditioner (or UPS with isolation transformer):

1. Regeneration of power using the isolation transformer at the point of use means that it is a truly ideal power source (It is like moving the building transformer to within a few feet of sensitive equipment). The power from an isolation transformer is both DEDICATED and ISOLATED.

2. Multi-stage surge protectors and EMI/RFI noise filters are also built-in.

3. Isolation conditioner sizes ranging from 90 VA to 5.5 kVA allows optimized performance vs. cost product selection. UPS size ranges from 400VA to 2100 VA.

4. Installation is immediate and no permit or approval is required. (Conditioners are also available in sizes up to 36 kVA, and it is recommended they be installed by a licensed electrician).

5. Cost of the unit is only a small fraction of a dedicated circuit installation cost.

Features Benefits1. Extremely high power efficiency,

typically above 97%.Lowest operating cost in terms of electric use – only 1/10 of double-conversion on-line UPS.

2. Air exhaust fan is normally off since very little heat is generated.

Quiet operation. Does not add to air conditioning loads.

3. The inverter circuit is normally off. Very quiet operation and the highest MTBF (mean-time-between failure) due to the lowest voltage, current and temperature of its internal parts.

4. Cooler internal operating temperature. Battery lifetime is approximately twice that of an on-line type UPS.

5. Output waveform is normally a sinewave. The inverter waveform is a modified square-wave, generated only during power outages.

The pulse-width-modified and optimized peak-voltage modified square waveform is actually more beneficial for switchmode power supplies.

6. Simplest and most economical UPS design.

Simple design with the lowest parts count. Means lowest purchase price and maintenance costs. Repair procedures are quick and easy.

7. The switchover time of some high-quality Standby UPS is less than 1ms.

The ride-through of a typical switchmode power supply is 10 to 20 ms. A fast 1 ms switchover time guarantees glitch-free transfers.

The reliability of PC’s and the Internet comes nowhere near the telephone system.

Power quality is an issue that all serious computer users should be concerned with. Why? The world is becoming more dependent on computers than ever before. The Internet is changing everything in ways that could not have been imagined just a few years ago. We are now using the Web to make travel reservations, buy and sell stocks, upload and download large files and to purchase many different products. Yet the reliability of PCs and the Internet comes nowhere near the telephone system. We are always expecting dial tone when we pick up the receiver to make a telephone call, and we would be quite surprised if the telephone company would have to reboot the digital switch used in the central office. We certainly would not accept if the telephone didn’t work when there was a power outage. Somehow we seem to accept much less when we log on to the Web. In time the computer industry will figure out how to design reliable software, computers and data communications equipment. The good news is that it is quite inexpensive to do something about computer crashes caused by power interruptions. Most PCs can be adequately protected for less than $285.00 with a Flexible Series UPS from TSi Power Corporation.

The purpose of the Power Primer is to provide some basic information about the quality of utility power and how it affects the average computer user. First, a list of power anomalies and their effect on computers:

• Power outage (also known as blackout or power failure)—a complete loss of power, which causes the computer to crash and shut down.

• Surge voltage (also known as spike, transient or impulse)—a short-duration overvoltage, which can cause computer malfunction or failure, depending on the severity of the surge.

• Sag (also known as brownout or undervoltage)—a longer-term abnormal deviation from the nominal voltage of 120V (230V in many countries outside North-America), which can cause the computer to shut down or cause overheating of its internal power supply if the sag continues for a long time.

• Swell (also known as overvoltage)—a longer-term overvoltage, which can cause failure of the computers internal power supply or possible shut down for some computers.

What is the cause of the above problems? The power provided by the local Power Company has to be generated and distributed to the user. This process and natural events like lightning cause most problems.

Using generators that are powered by hydro, fossil fuel or nuclear fission generates power. Future supply of power will be affected by the lack of available sources of hydro and concerns over pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuel—the situation will worsen because of the lack of enthusiasm for any expansion of nuclear plants. A number of US nuclear plants are being decommissioned while countries like Swe-den have decided to decommission most of its nuclear plants. Thus, it is possible that there will not be enough power to satisfy future demand in the US. Many devel-oping countries are already experiencing severe shortages of power and have been unable to arrange the financing necessary to build more power plants. A shortage of power will cause all of the above problems, as some users will be subject to momentary power outages when there is not enough power to satisfy demand.

Power is distributed over long distances using high-voltage overhead power lines— distribution voltages can be as high as one million volts. Power is distributed locally via lower voltages provided through a series of step-down transformers. Some local distribution networks are unable to provide the power required when many users demand power at the same time, which may cause local distribution transformers to fail and hence cause power outages. Many local distribution sys-tems in the US use overhead power lines that are very sensitive to tree branches falling and thus causing power interruptions. Additionally, surge voltages will occur when power fails as the rapid interruption of power results in a surge voltage.

The deregulation trend may compound power interruptions and stability problems in the future as switching between different power grids becomes more frequent as sellers and buyers exchange power.

Power problems can also be caused by thunderstorms when surge voltages from lightning strikes are delivered via the power line to the computer. Additionally, light-ning arresters on utility distribution lines can cause brief power interruptions as the momentarily short the power while diverting lightning voltages to ground.

Surge voltages can result as electrical equipment turns on and off inside buildings.

Helpful terminology when selecting a UPSAll computers and telecommunications key systems and PBXs have a voltage and current rating and requirement. Typically, such information is printed on the back planes of equipment (near serial number and product model information) and is also included in the User’s Manual. Uninterruptible Power Systems are rated in Volt Amperes or "VA." It is a simple task to determine what size UPS a particular system requires just: (Note, the information provided applies to equipment connected to a regular 120V or 230V outlet)

• Determine required VA rating for each piece of equipment to be con-nected to the UPS (e.g. computer, monitor, modem, etc). Multiply volts (V) and amps (A) for each piece of equipment and obtain VA per device. Then add the total and obtain total VA rating. Example: Computer 120V x 2A = 240 VA; Monitor 120V x 1A = 120 VA; Modem 120V x 0.1A = 12 VA. Thus, total VA is 240VA + 120VA + 12VA = 372 VA. Note, if only watts are given: multiply watts by 1.35 to obtain VA rating.

• Select a UPS that is the same rating or larger than the above calculated load. For example, a UPs-400 provides 400 VA of power and would provide at least 8 minutes of backup. If more backup is required or if more equip-ment will be connected to the UPS in the future, a larger UPS should be selected. A UPs-600 would provide longer backup than a UPs-400, typically 15 minutes or more. TSi Power Quality Products can provide longer backup times.

A Guide to UPS TermsTransfer timeThis describes the amount of time it takes from the initial loss of ac power to the time the UPS takes over the load. The importance of time for the computer translates into the computer locking up or freezing and thereby losing any unsaved information. Instantaneous transfer time means that the computer would not even notice that its power source had switched from one input to another.

Isolation from lineA characteristic of a UPS in which the output is completely electrically disconnected from the input. Power is coupled from input to output by magnetic fields in a trans-former. Because there is no connection from input to output, transients cannot cross the magnetics thereby eliminating any transients in the ac output.

Neutral to ground bondThe neutral to ground bond provides protection from transients on the neutral line which could feedback into sensitive electronic equipment.

EMI/RFI noise filteringEMI refers to electro-magnetic interference which is unwanted electrical noise present on the power line. This noise may "leak" from the power lines and affect equipment that is not even connected to the power line. Such "leakage" is called a magnetic field. Magnetic fields are formed when unwanted noise voltages give rise to noise currents. Such noise may adversely affect electronic equipment and cause intermittent data problems. EMI protection is provided by noise filters placed on the ac power line. The filter reduces the noise voltage on the protected line, and by doing so eliminates the magnetic fields of noise generated by the protected line. Noise signals that act over a significant distance are called Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Equipment power cords and building wiring often act as antennas to receive RFI and convert it to EMI.

Surge/spike protectionThis category is fairly self explanatory. The higher your protection, the better your equipment is insulated from momentary increases in voltage on the ac line.

Output voltage regulationVoltage regulation, especially in areas where the power quality is low, is essential to equipment performance. Computer equipment will identify if the voltage is within the operating parameters and if it falls below those parameters, the computer will shut down and will lose any unsaved information. Furthermore, with a constant voltage, the internal components in the computer will run more efficiently and will extend the life of the computer’s hardware substantially.

Inverter WaveformSine wave inverter waveform is the best. Pseudo-sine wave (typically modified square wave) is suitable for computers and other switchmode power supply driven equipment, but not motors or fans.

Energy efficiencyThe ratio of output power to input power as expressed as a percent. For example, if a UPS has an efficiency of 80%, then 20% of the input energy in lost as heat.

Source impedanceSmall engine generators (1kW to 10kW range) have very high source impedance, which means output voltage will drop as more load is connected to the output. This is the reason for oversizing a generator.

Operating environmentAn overall description of the ac environment which includes in its definition frequency of transients (i.e. surges, spikes, sags), blackouts, and voltage fluctuations to name a few. Often contributing factors can be industrial growth, poor utility maintenance, poor power management or erratic weather. The areas in which your computers are operating are easily described as poor ac environments.

Unit surge voltage withstandThis denotes the amount of voltage surge the UPS itself can handle before damage and failure of the unit. If the UPS fails, the computer equipment becomes vulnerable to the transients on the ac line.

PriceThe range of prices, as you’ve discovered, is widely disparate because the standby UPS is using the cheapest but least reliable technology, whereas the ferroresonant, and on-line technologies are very high quality and durable.

Why Power Supplies and Semiconductors Fail

Causes and results of power disturbances

A power disturbance can be defined as unwanted excess energy that is presented to the load.

Comments regarding power disturbances• Power quality varies significantly from one area to another. Some countries

have very stable power grids while others are extremely short on capacity.• Power disturbances are caused by the generation, distribution and use of

power; and lightning.• A power disturbance can be defined as unwanted excess energy that is

presented to the load.

Causes of power disturbances• Power disturbance originate both outside and inside customer facilities.• Load switching causes surges because of collapsing fields (-e = l * di/dt).• Over loaded power distribution systems can cause significant voltage variations

between peak and off-peak hours.• Significant momentary load changes, such as heavy inrush currents can cause

severe voltage variations.• Black-outs can cause severe voltage surges both on loss and return of power.• Circuit-breaker tripping and fuse blowing can cause severe surge voltages.• Large ups and variable-speed drives can cause various surge voltages inside

buildings.

Results of power disturbances• Sags and under voltages can cause component overheating or destruction.• Surges and over voltages can cause component overheating, destruction or can

trigger other electronic components such as SCR's.• Component overheating reduces the life and deteriorates the real reliability as

opposed to the estimated reliability based on steady-state conditions of the product.

• False triggering of other components can create nuisance alarm tripping or, worse, can cause overheating or destruction of other electronic components.






244 White Paper SeriesWhy Power Supplies and Semiconductors Fail

Why semiconductors fail• Most semiconductor devices are intolerant to surge voltages in excess of their

voltage ratings.• Even a fast surge of a few microseconds can cause the semiconductor to fail

catastrophically or may degrade it so as to shorten its useful life.• Damage occurs when a high reverse voltage is applied to a non-conducting

pn junction.• The junction may avalanche at a small point due to the non-uniformity of the

electric field. In this case, thermal runaway can occur because of localized heat build up and cause a melt-through which destroys the junction.

Problems with current solutions• Common-mode voltage disturbances can be amplified in non-tn-s ac distribution

systems.• Typical emi filters are not well damped. This has a dramatic effect on any voltage

disturbances, resulting in oscillations inside the emi filter under any transitional conditions. Severe voltage surges may result from fly-back from saturated inductors looking for a path to release energy.

• Boost converters can be destroyed by surges causing increased energy storage in input filter, the output capacitor (c) is charged to an unsafe level depending on capacitance value and load levels for the dc/dc converter connected to the output of the boost.

Limitations of commercial UPS equipment• The industry is driven by lowest cost.• Users normally don't care about power quality.• Users really care about saving data which means that they are satisfied with

orderly shut down to protect data files.• Most UPS do not have quality battery chargers and chargers are nor designed

for long-term back-up.• Most UPS equipment does not provide real power conditioning (there are

exceptions).• Some UPS equipment is poorly protected against surge voltages.• Extended back-up requires the addition of expensive rectifier/chargers and

battery packs.

Protection of Telecom Sites in Countries withUnstable Ac Mains

Ac mains voltages frequently fluctuate beyond the IEC assumed standard of a 184 to 264vac input range.

BACKGROUND

Developing countries often have weak power generation and distribution systems: Frequently resulting in mains voltage fluctuations beyond the 184 to 264vac input range mandated by the European Norm. The underlying IEC standards assume that power generation and distribution are fairly stable and that voltage excursions will not be outside the specified input window of 184 to 264vac. Unfortunately, that is not the case in many developing countries throughout the world. Even industrialized nations have their share of problems with ac mains availability. Mains voltages frequently fluctuate beyond the assumed 184 to 264vac input range.

In the U.S. State of California for example, a failed deregulation scheme coupled with the lack of corrective political will led to rolling blackouts that cut power to millions in early 2001. The desired expansion of generation and distribution capacity in developing countries is also constrained by a shortage of capital and, in some cases, political factors as well. Thus, it appears that the quality of ac mains, for developing countries, is at best uncertain into the foreseeable future.

The expansion of communications networks, such as cellular radio, direct radio access telephony (wireless in the local loop), paging networks, land mobile radio and satellite telephony stations, has led to a rapid increase of installed sites to support these networks. The proliferation of sites sometimes makes it difficult to place a particular site in an ideal location. The site might then be installed in a remote or difficult-to-access location.

The author of this article has worked with infrastructure manufacturers and operators to address power-related reliability problems, which can be very expensive if not addressed properly--especially for remote and hard-to-reach locations.

THE PROBLEM

The power converters used in modern ac-dc rectifiers, UPS and ac-dc switchmode power supplies, are typically based on the IEC input range of 184 to 264vac. Ac induction motors are sensitive to both high and low mains voltage, where low voltage can cause rotor lockup following a dip in mains voltage; and to saturation causing tripping of circuit breakers, as a result of high mains voltage. Transformers and other 50/60Hz magnetics can easily get saturated when exposed to high input voltage, particularly at 50Hz, when the magnetization curve of steel becomes non-linear much quicker than for 60Hz.

Ac induction motors are sensitive to both high and low mains voltage.

Causes of power supply failure• Sags and under-voltages can cause component overheating and

destruction of MOS-FETs from over-current.• Surges and over-voltages can cause component overheating, destruction of

MOS-FETs, or can trigger other electronic components such as SCRs, MOVs and input capacitors may be destroyed if they are rated too close to the line voltage.

• Component overheating reduces the life and deteriorates the real reliability as opposed to the estimated reliability based on steady-state conditions of the product.

• False triggering of other components can create nuisance alarm tripping or, worse, can cause overheating or destruction of other components.

• Typical EMI filters are not well damped. This has a dramatic effect on anyvoltage disturbances, resulting in oscillations inside the EMI filter under anytransitional conditions. Severe voltage surges may result from fly-back from saturated inductors looking for a path to release energy.

• Boost converters can be destroyed by surges causing increased energy storage in the input filter, when the output capacitor is charged to an unsafe level, depending on capacitance value and the load levels for the dc to dc converter connected to the output of the boost converter.

Causes of semiconductor failure• Most semiconductor devices are intolerant to surge voltages in excess of their

voltage ratings.• A fast surge (high dv/dt) of a few kV per microsecond can cause a semicon-

ductor to fail catastrophically or may degrade it so as to shorten its useful life.• Damage occurs when a high reverse voltage is applied to a non-conducting

PN junction.• The PN junction may avalanche at a small point due to the non-uniformity of

the electric field. In this case, thermal runaway can occur because of localized heat buildup and cause a melt-through which destroys the junction.

Mains voltages varying between 160 to 330 vac are common in countries like India and Pakistan.

Mains voltages varying between 160 to 330 vac are common in countries like India and Pakistan, but are also found in many other areas. In such cases, installation of unprotected power systems and equipment can lead to an abnormally high failure rate and loss of revenue for both suppliers and users of telecom hardware.

Mains voltage anomalies can be caused by the following:• Fault clearing: where a short circuit occurs on the line and a protection

device clears the fault, typically in around 3 cycles. The clearing of a fault results in a short dip and voltage recovers rapidly if the mains are stable. However, recovery can take much longer if the mains are weak, resulting in a protracted voltage sag.

• Chronic instability: caused by interaction of voltage stabilizing devices. A good example would be an industrial area with an inadequate incoming power line, thus resulting in unstable mains as loads cycle on and off. Users of power may then install a voltage stabilizer that will draw more current to provide a higher voltage for one facility, with the higher current draw causing a voltage drop for adjacent facilities that in turn draw more power when regulators attempt to correct the mains voltage. The end result can be a total loss of power when current draw exceeds the substation’s capability to deliver the required current.

• Weak generation capacity: will also result in fluctuating mains when utility customers compete for available power.

• Rolling brownouts: can result when the power utility reduces the mains voltage by 10% or more in order to limit power consumption. This approach may work for fixed-resistance loads such as light bulbs, but will not for computer and telecom equipment utilizing switchmode power supplies, as these compensate for low voltage by increasing current draw. The increased current is capable of generating increased internal heat that can lead to power supply failure.

• Blackouts: can result when the electric utility cuts off power to selected areas in an attempt to protect major parts of the distribution system from interruptions.

Mitigation devices are often applied as a “bandage,” in the hope that things will get better quickly, to the satisfaction of both the telecom operator and the equipment provider. Unfortunately, applying mitigation devices without understanding the basics can actually aggravate the problem. This is especially true for power-factor-corrected power supplies, as these are more sensitive to mains disturbances than their simpler siblings with rectifier/capacitor inputs. It is the author’s experience that power-factor-corrected rectifiers can trip internal protection devices when exposed to rapidly changing mains voltages.

Over-voltage protection (surge protection) against surge voltages, and from load switching and lightning, is governed by rational principles, first outlined by IEC-1312 in the early 1990s. The applicable IEC-Standard: IEC Technical Specification 61312-3 “Requirements of Surge Protective Devices (SPDs)” describes clearly how to coordinate SPDs to ensure that upstream devices (Figure 1) progressively handle more energy than the SPD found on the front-end of a power supply, typically a metal oxide varistor. These sensible coordination principles are not always adhered to, which sometimes results in a lack of coordination between SPDs used in a system. This can lead to the destruction of down stream SPDs that clamp before the upstream SPDs, which in turn causes the destruction of the metal oxide varistors in the power supply itself.

Safety earthing systems

Many different earthing systems are in use throughout the world and need to be understood before primary surge protection is implemented. The most common earthing systems are shown below:

TN-S A separate neutral and ground conductor are run throughout.

TN-S

A separate neutral and ground conductor are run throughout. The ground conductor can be the metallic sheath of the power distribution cable or a separate conductor. All exposed-conductive-parts of the installation are connected to ground.

TT

One point of the source of energy is grounded and the exposed-conductive-parts of the installation are connected to independent grounded electrodes.

TN-C

Neutral and ground conductors combine in a single conductor throughout the system. All exposed-conductive-parts are connected to the combined N-G conductor.

IT

A system that has no direct connection between live parts and ground. All exposed-conductive-parts of the installation are connected to independent grounding electrodes.

TN-C-S

Neutral and ground combine in a single conductor. This system is also known as multiple earthed neutral (MEN). The protective conductor is referred to as the combined neutral and ground conductor. The supply N-G conductor is grounded at a number of points throughout the network and generally as close to the consumer’s service entrance as possible. All exposed-conductive-parts are connected to the combined N-G conductor.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

The most obvious solution is to design power supplies to withstand a much wider input voltage range.

The most obvious solution is to design power supplies to withstand a much wider input voltage range, to prevent saturation and resulting energy impulses that cause damage to switching transistors and other circuits. Such changes require more steel in inductors, capacitors with higher voltage ratings, possibly larger circuit boards with greater trace separation, as well as transistors with higher voltage and current ratings. This is not likely, as manufacturers would have to offer special versions with a wide input voltage range or, as a second option, make only power systems that can handle all worldwide markets, regardless of mains quality. This second option is not realistic since customers in countries with a stable mains infrastructure would be penalized.

Designing a protection device that can handle an entire power plant, or racks of power systems, is probably a more economical solution that can be used whenever increased immunity is required. Such a solution can also be used to address problems that occur in the field after installation.

Summary

Many equipment malfunctions can be traced back to inadequate infrastructure for power generation and distribution and inadequate installation practices.

The risk of system failure is greater at 50Hz, especially for high mains voltages.

A plethora of safety earthing systems and supply voltages make it difficult to create a simple standard for field installation.

A standardized system of mitigation devices with ac mains stabilization that also meet the requirements of IEC Technical Specification 61312-3 may be the best way to ensure consistent system performance.
