Warnings
This section contains important warnings. Read these warnings before installing or operatinga Powerware Access Power Solutions DC power system.
Electrical Safety• Powerware Access Power Solutions (APS6-300 and APS12-300 Series) DC power systems mustbe mounted in an enclosed cabinet that meets safety and fire enclosure requirements as specifiedin AS/NZS 60950.1 and EN 60950-1.
• The DC power system may be powered from multiple AC sources. All AC power sources mustbe isolated before internally servicing the equipment.
• The DC power system MCBs are not a disconnect device. The APS DC power system must beconnected to a suitable upstream AC supply disconnect device such as Miniature CircuitBreaker(s) (MCB) or fuses. This device must isolate both the phase and neutral conductors in
single-phase and three-phase connections, unless the neutral conductor is clearly identified.• If the DC power system is to be installed in a location where the ambient temperature may rise
above 50ºC (122ºF), then V105 rated cable must be used for all connections.
• The DC power system is not compatible with IT (Impedance Terra) AC power distributiontopologies. For advice refer to Worldwide Support on page 153.
• A registered electrician (or suitably qualified person) must check the integrity of the installedcabling, BEFORE the DC power system is powered up.
• Tasks must be performed in the sequence documented in this guide.
Location and Environment• An APS DC power system must be installed in a restricted access location.• For ease of access and to maintain optimum system cooling observe the clearances stated onpage 24.
• Dust build-up within the DC power system may cause premature failure. In dusty environmentsfilter the ventilation air entering the equipment room. Ensure regular cleaning of the air filters.
• Do not allow water or any foreign object to enter the DC power system. Do not place objectscontaining liquid on top of or near the unit.
• Flooded cell and VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed withadequate ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for advice on minimumventilation levels.
Reverse Polarity• Always check that the battery cables have been terminated to the correct system polarityBEFORE connecting the batteries or closing the battery disconnect device. Connecting batteriesto the DC power system with incorrect system polarity will damage the rectifiers and void allwarranty claims.
Hazardous Energy Levels• Rectifiers and batteries contain hazardous energy levels. Only personnel trained andexperienced in DC power systems are to service this equipment.
• Always use insulated tools.
• Do not short-circuit the live and common bus bars or cables.

Step 2 - Check high AC voltage protection at the site
1 Check if the AC voltage is expected to exceed 275V (L-N).
2 If so, then it is strongly recommended that an external high voltage
protection unit (HVPU) be installed. This will automatically disconnectthe AC at high voltage and reconnect it at normal voltage.
3 Install the HVPU as in the following diagram.
4 Connect the High VAC alarm output to one of the Digital Inputs on theI/O board (see diagram on page 7 for location).
The High VAC alarm signal lines must be isolated from the AC supplyby a voltage-free relay contact.

Step 3 - Check the type of AC supply, disconnect device and RCDs
1 Check the type of AC supply. Only the types of AC supply listed inTask 3 on page 22 are suitable for the APS.
Only use a two-phase or three-phase (L-L) AC supply if referenced toearth, or a protection system is in place so that the phase-earth voltagecannot exceed the rating of the rectifier.
2 Check that the APS will be connected to a suitable upstream ACdisconnect device such as Miniature Circuit Breaker(s) (MCB) or fuses.
3 Check the disconnect device will isolate both the phase and neutralconductors in single-phase and three-phase connections, unless theneutral conductor is clearly identified.
4 Check that any Residual Current Devices (RCD) upstream of the APSare rated for the maximum earth leakage current of the rectifiers. Ifnecessary, install higher rated RCD(s).
The maximum earth leakage current of Access Power Rectifiers is givenin the Specifications on page 113 .

IPN 997-00012-49B November 2007
Step 4 - Check AC Discrimination
Each rectifier has two internal fast-acting fuses. Under certain internal faultconditions these fuses will blow.
If there is insufficient discrimination between these fuses and any upstreamAC supply-disconnect device then the upstream AC supply-disconnectdevice will operate before a rectifier fuse blows. This will disconnect theAC supply to all rectifiers.
1 Check the time-current (tripping) curve(s) of all AC supply-disconnectdevice(s) upstream of the APS with the following curve for the rectifierfuses.
Refer to the manufacturer's data for tripping curves.
Time-CurrentCurve (minimumand maximum) forAPR-3G internalfuses (IEC 60127-2).
Source: Schurter SP5x20 Pigtail datasheet.
2 No action is required if the time-current curves of the upstream ACsupply-disconnect devices are entirely to the right of the curves for therectifier fuses.
3 If the curve of an upstream AC supply-disconnect device crosses thecurve for the rectifier fuse there may not be adequate discrimination.
If necessary, replace the upstream AC supply-disconnect device toachieve adequate discrimination. Or, contact your Powerware DCproduct supplier for advice (refer to Worldwide Support on page 153).
