Introduction
The Powerware BPIV Parallel System can be utilized to prevent loss of valuable
electronic information, minimize equipment downtime, and/or minimize the adverse
effect on equipment and production due to unexpected power problems.
The Powerware BPIV Parallel System continually monitors incoming electrical power
and removes the surges, spikes, sags, and other irregularities that are inherent in
commercial utility power. Working with the building’s electrical system, the Parallel
System supplies clean, consistent power that sensitive electronic equipment requires
for reliable operation. During brownouts, blackouts, and other power interruptions,
optional batteries provide emergency power to safeguard operation.
The Parallel System allows two to four UPMs to operate in parallel capacity or
redundancy to provide more capacity than a single UPM and as backup for each other.
In addition, when one UPM is taken out of service for maintenance or is not operating
properly, a redundant UPM continues to supply uninterrupted power to the critical load.
The Parallel System refers to the Parallel Cabinet in conjunction with the UPMs. The
Parallel System consists of one Parallel Cabinet, and two or more UPMs. Each UPM
may have its own internal battery, and/or optional battery cabinets.
This manual describes how to install and operate your Powerware BPIV Parallel
System. The installation section contains instructions for installing the Parallel Cabinet.
The operation section contains instructions for operating the Parallel Cabinet and
UPMs while paralleling for capacity/redundancy. The information you use depends on
the system you purchased.
NOTE: The installation procedures of this manual only refer to the Parallel Cabinet and its
connection to the UPMs for parallel capacity/redundancy operation. The operation
section of this manual refers to the operation for the Parallel Cabinet and the UPMs
when paralleling for capacity/redundancy. For full installation and operation of the
UPMs, refer to the Powerware BPIV UPS Installation and Operation manual
referenced at the end of this section.

Understanding Parallel
System Operation
3.1
Looking Inside the Parallel System
The Parallel Cabinet extends the normal operation of the Powerware BPIV UPS
units by offering parallel capacity/redundant capability. The Parallel system
continues to maintain power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power
brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency
conditions. Refer to Drawing 164201409---5 in Appendix A of this manual for the
detailed relationship of the Parallel Cabinet and the UPMs.
The output of the system is normally supplied by several Uninterruptible Power
Modules (UPMs). Multiple UPMs are connected with their outputs in parallel to
provide a load level greater than the rating of one UPM and/or for redundancy. The
paralleled UPMs supply the output load with protected power as long as the load
does not exceed the combined rating of the paralleled UPMs.
The power system is redundant as long as one of the UPMs can be disconnected
from the output bus and the remaining UPMs can continue to supply power to the
load without exceeding their ratings.
The Parallel Cabinet contains components that allow the the UPMs to be paralleled
and the source of system output power to be transferred between Bypass and the
paralleled UPMs.
When the load is being supplied by the UPMs, the system output bus is
continuously monitored for an over or under voltage condition. If an out of limits
condition is detected, the Parallel Cabinet will transfer the load to bypass using the
UPM static switches and the bypass contactor in the Parallel Cabinet.
During manual transfers to bypass or maintenance, the critical load can be
supplied power through the bypass contactor in the Parallel Cabinet. The
upstream bypass input and breaker must be rated for the total system load since it
must supply all of the system load when on bypass.
Communication is required between the Parallel Cabinet and UPMs for full system
operation. System level communications and control are accomplished using a
CAN network. A single building alarm in each UPM, tied to the bypass contactor
auxiliary contacts in the Parallel Cabinet, will be used for a secondary
communication path.

3.2
Normal, Battery, and Bypass Modes with Parallel Operation
The Parallel system functions automatically to supply AC electrical power to the
critical load. There are three standard operation modes:
•
In Normal mode, the critical load is supplied clean, filtered power from the paralleled
UPMs, through the Parallel Cabinet.
•
In Battery mode, the battery provides DC power, which maintains UPM operation. The
battery and UPM support the critical load.
•
In Bypass mode, the critical load is directly supported by utility power.
The UPS continually monitors itself and the incoming utility power, and
automatically switches between these modes as required, with no operator
intervention, except when manually switching to Bypass mode. The sophisticated
detection and switching logic inside the UPMs ensures that operating mode
changes are automatic and transparent to the critical load.
The following descriptions provide the differences in Parallel System operating
modes.
Powerware BPIV Parallel Cabinet Installation and Operation
164201409 REV. B
101503
3.2.1
Normal Mode
In Normal mode, utility AC power is supplied to the UPMs. Power from the output
of the UPMs is then supplied to the Parallel Cabinet for parallel operation. The
Parallel Cabinet then supplies the critical load with clean, filtered AC power.
Figure 3---1 shows the path of electrical power through the Parallel System when
the Parallel system is operating in Normal mode.

Path of Current Through the Parallel System in Normal Mode
If the utility AC power is interrupted or is out of specification, the UPMs
automatically switch to Battery mode to support the critical load with no
interruption. When utility power returns, the UPMs returns to Normal mode.
If the UPMs become overloaded or unavailable, the Parallel System switches to
Bypass mode. The Parallel System automatically returns to Normal mode when the
overload condition is cleared and system operation is restored within specified
limits.

3.2.2
Bypass Mode
The Parallel System automatically switches to Bypass mode if it detects a UPM
overload, UPMs unavailable, load fault, or internal failure. The bypass source
supplies the commercial AC power to the load directly.

operating in Bypass mode.

Powerware BPIV Parallel Cabinet Installation and Operation
164201409 REV. B
101503
You can transfer the Parallel System from Normal mode to Bypass mode manually.
However, the Parallel System switches automatically to Bypass mode whenever the
UPMs can no longer supply the critical load. If the Parallel System transfers to
Bypass mode from Normal mode due to an output voltage deviation, the Parallel
System automatically attempts to transfer back to Normal mode (up to three times
within a 10-minute period). The fourth transfer or an overload condition will lock the
critical load on the bypass source and requires operator intervention to transfer.
Bypass mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition. However, if
the Parallel System is unable to return to Normal mode following an automatic
transfer to Bypass mode, an alarm condition is recorded.

3.2.3
Battery Mode
The UPMs transfer to Battery mode automatically if a utility power outage occurs,
or if the utility power does not conform to specified parameters. In Battery mode,
the battery provides emergency DC power that the inverter converts to AC power.

Path of Current Through the Parallel System in Battery Mode
While in battery mode, the UPMs will enunciate an audible horn, light a visual
indicator lamp on the front panel (System Normal, On Battery), and make an entry
into the alarm event history. As the battery discharges, the boost converter and
inverter constantly make minute adjustments maintaining a steady output. The
UPMs will remain in this operating mode until the input power to the rectifier is
again within the specified voltage or frequency acceptance windows.
Powerware BPIV Parallel Cabinet Installation and Operation
164201409 REV. B
101503
If at any time during the battery discharge the input power becomes available
again, the rectifier will begin to supply DC current to the inverter. At this point, the
unit returns to normal operation.
If the input power fails to return or is not within the acceptance windows required
for normal operation, the battery will continue discharging until a DC voltage level is
reached where the inverter output can no longer support the connected loads.
When this occurs, the unit will issue another set of audible and visual alarms
indicating SHUTDOWN IMMINENT. Unless the rectifier has a valid input soon, the
output will only be supported for 2 minutes before the output of the system shuts
down. If the bypass source is available, the system will transfer to Bypass instead
of shuting down.
The systems total operating time on battery will depend on many factors. Some
factors that affect battery support times are battery type and capacity, number of
parallel strings, environmental temperatures, age of the battery, and fluctuations in
load demand during the discharge. The greater the load, the less support time the
battery will have. Decrease the load, and the battery support time will generally
increase.

Using the UPM LOAD OFF Pushbutton
NOTE: The UPM LOAD OFF pushbutton only controls the UPM on which Load Off
was activated and only interrupts the ability for that module to deliver power
to the critical bus. The redundant modules continue to support the critical
load. UPM can only be shutdown if remaining UPMs can support the critical
load without being overloaded. To remove all power from the critical load,
use the REMOTE EMERGENCY UPM OFF pushbutton.
A UPM Load Off is initiated by the red LOAD OFF pushbutton on the UPM Control
Panel. This pushbutton can be pressed to control the UPM output. The UPM
LOAD OFF pushbutton only powers down the UPM.
The UPM (including Bypass) remains off until restarted.
4.4.8.1
To Use the UPM LOAD OFF Pushbutton
1. Press the LOAD OFF pushbutton.
The Unit Shutdown screen appears, providing a choice to proceed with the shutdown
or to abort the shutdown.
WARNING:
All output from this UPM to the critical load is lostwhen YESis selectedin thefollowing
step. You should use this feature only when you want to de-energize this UPM from
the critical load.
2. To shut down the UPM, select YES from the Unit Shutdown menu, and hold for
two seconds. To abort the shutdown, select NO.
When YES is selected and held for two seconds, the input, output, battery and
bypass backfeed contactors open and the PPU is turned off.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to restart the system after Load Off until the cause of the
shutdown has been identified and cleared.
3. To restart the UPM after pressing the LOAD OFF pushbutton, follow the
procedure in paragraph 4.4.6.

Using the REMOTE EMERGENCY POWER OFF
Switch
An Emergency Power Off is initiated by Remote Emergency Power OFF (REPO)
pushbutton switch. In an emergency, you can use this switch to control the output
of the UPMs. The REPO switch de-energizes the critical load and powers down the
UPMs, without asking for verification.
The UPMs, including Bypass, remain off until restarted.
4.4.9.1
To Use the REPO Switch
WARNING:
All power to the critical load is lost when this switch is activated. You should use this
feature only in an emergency or when you want to de-energize the critical load.
NOTE: The following instructions are for the Powerware supplied REPO switch. If a
customer supplied REPO switch is used it may not activate in the same
manner. If this is the case, refer to the operating instructions provided with
the switch.
1. Press the REPO pushbutton switch.
The input, output, battery and bypass backfeed contactors in the UPMs, open and the
PPU in the UPMs are turned off immediately, without asking for verification.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to restart the system after REPO until the cause of the
emergency has been identified and cleared.
2. To restart the UPMs after using the REPO pushbutton, reset the REPO switch
by rotating the switch and then follow the procedure, in paragraphs 4.4.1 or
4.4.2.

Responding to System Events
5.1
General
When the Parallel System is running in Normal mode, it continually monitors itself
and the incoming utility power. In Bypass mode, the Parallel System may issue
alarms to let you know exactly what event caused the change from Normal mode.
System events on the the Parallel System can be indicated by horns, lights,
messages, or all three.
All system events are presented at the UPMs. Select Events from the System
Event menu on the UPM LCD screen to look at the Active System Events screen.
This screen shows any currently active alarms, notices, or commands. (For more
information on using the Events screen, refer to “Using the Control Panel” in the
Powerware BPIV UPS Installation and Operation manual referenced in the
Introduction to this manual.)
5.2
System Event Horns
The system event horn beeps according to the type of event it is signifying:
•
Horn 1 — The Horn cycles on for 1 second at a one second rate. It is normally
used for all Alarm conditions.
•
Horn 2 — The Horn sounds for 3 second every three seconds. It is normally
used for all Notice conditions.
•
Horn 3 — The Horn sounds for 5 second every five seconds. It is normally
used to prompt the User for action.
5.3
System Event Lights
The status indicators on the UPM and Parallel cabinet Control Panels work in
conjunction with the event horn to let you know when the Parallel System is
operating in any mode other than Normal. Only the Normal indicator is visible
during normal UPS system operation. The others light to indicate alarms or events.
When an alarm occurs, you should first check these indicators to see what type of
event has taken place. (For descriptions of the Parallel cabinet status indicators
refer to Chapter 4 “Parallel System Operating Instructions”, and for descriptions of
the UPM status indicators, refer to “Using the Control Panel” in the Powerware
BPIV UPS Installation and Operation manual referenced in the Introduction to
this manual.)

Maintaining the Parallel System
6.1
General
The components inside the Parallel cabinet are secured to a sturdy metal frame.
All repairable parts and assemblies are located for easy removal, with very little
disassembly. This design allows authorized service personnel to perform routine
maintenance and servicing quickly.
You must schedule periodic performance checks of your Parallel system to keep it
running properly. Regular routine checks of operation and system parameters will
enable your system to function efficiently for many trouble-free years.
NOTE: Refer to the Powerware BPIV UPS Installation and Operation Manual,
referenced in the Introduction to this manual, for UPM maintenance.
6.2
Important Safety Instructions
Remember that your Parallel system is designed to supply power EVEN WHEN
DISCONNECTED FROM THE UTILITY POWER. The UPM interiors are unsafe until
the DC power source is disconnected and the electrolytic capacitors are
discharged. The Parallel cabinet is unsafe until the UPMs have been powered
down and bypass power has been removed. After disconnecting the utility power
and the DC power, authorized service personnel should wait at least 5 minutes for
capacitor bleedoff before attempting internal access to the UPMs.
WARNING:
Servicing and maintenance should be performed by qualified
service personnel only.
WARNING:
LETHAL VOLTAGE PRESENT.
This unit should not be operated with the cabinet doors open or protective
panels removed. Do not make any assumptions about the electrical state of any
cabinet in the UPS system.
Since each battery string is an energy source in itself, opening the Battery Circuit
Breaker does not de-energize the voltage within the battery string. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO ACCESS ANY INTERNAL AREA OF THE BATTERY STRING
YOURSELF. VOLTAGES ARE ALWAYS PRESENT IN THE BATTERY STRING. If
you suspect that a battery string needs service, you should contact your local field
service office.
If the string requires service, refer to the battery manufacturer’s operating manual
for instructions on battery maintenance, or contact your local field service office.

Observe these precautions when working on or around batteries:
•
Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
•
Use tools with insulated handles.
•
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
•
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries or battery cabinets.
•
Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting terminals.
•
Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is, remove the source of
the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical
shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are
removed during installation and maintenance.
•
When replacing batteries, use the same number of sealed, lead-acid batteries.
•
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
WARNING:
HAZARDOUS WASTE. Do not incinerate or dispose of batteries
indiscriminately. Observe local and national codes.
WARNING:
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is
harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.
A battery can cause electrical shock, burn from high short-circuit current, or
fire. Observe proper precautions.
ATTENTION:
Une batterie peut prêsenter un risque de choc êlectrique, de brulure, ou
d’incendie. Suivre les précautions qui s’imposent.
•
Pour le remplacement, utiliser le même nombre et modéle des batteries.
•
L’élimination des batteries est règlementée. Consulter les codes locaux à cet
effet.

6.3
Performing Preventive Maintenance
The Parallel system requires very little preventive maintenance. However, the
system should be inspected periodically to verify that the units are operating
normally and that the batteries are in good condition.
Perform the following checks DAILY:
1. Check the area surrounding the Parallel system. Ensure the area is not
cluttered, allowing free access to the unit.
2. Ensure the air intakes (vents on the front) and exhaust opening
(on rear of the UPS and Parallel cabinets) are not blocked.
3. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clearance behind the unit for proper air
circulation.
4. Ensure the operating environment is within the parameters specified in
Chapter 7, “Product Specifications.”
5. Ensure the UPMs and the Parallel cabinet are in Normal mode (Normal status
indicator is illuminated). If an alarm lamp is illuminated or the Normal status
indicators are not illuminated, contact Powerware Customer Service.
6. Ensure the red DO NOT CLOSE LEDs are not illuminated). An illuminated LED
represents a condition where a service disconnect switch is open and should
not be closed. These switches are not customer accessible and a qualified
service representative must be contacted to perform corrective action. To
schedule a service call, contact Powerware Customer Service.
Perform the following checks MONTHLY:
1. Monitor UPM parameters as described in “Using the Control Panel” of the
Powerware BPIV UPS Installation and Operation Manual referenced in the
Introduction to this manual.
2. Record the results of your checks and any corrective actions in a suitable log.
ANNUAL maintenance:
Annual preventive maintenance should be performed only by authorized service
personnel familiar with maintenance and servicing of the Parallel system. Contact
your nearest field service office for more information about service offerings.
6.4
Maintenance Training
A basic training course, available from Powerware, gives you a competent working
knowledge of the Parallel System operation and teaches you how to perform first
level corrective maintenance. For more information about training and other
services, contact the Powerware Training Coordinator in Raleigh, North Carolina, or
call Powerware field service at 1--800--843--9433.
