Upstream and Downstream Protection for UL
Preconditions for Live Swap of Power Modules
Live Swap of power modules is only allowed under the following preconditions for the UPS system installation:
-
Circuit breaker must be installed for input (unit input disconnect device UIB).
-
Circuit breaker (UIB) must be equipped with NEC 240.87, NFPA70E, IEEE1584, or EN51110-1 compliant ERMS mode.
-
GVLOPT011 (Galaxy VL door switch kit) must be installed in all four UPSs in the UPS system and connected so ERMS mode is set to ON on UIB when the front door of any of the UPSs is opened.
-
In ERMS mode, the instantaneous trip current shall be set to 5000 A or less. All time-delay settings shall be set to zero.
Schneider Electric reserves the right to remove the Live Swap label from the product front if the preconditions are not met.
DANGER |
|---|
|
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash
Only perform Live Swap of the power modules in UPS system
installations that follow the preconditions listed above.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
|
Recommended Upstream and Downstream Protection for UL
The output breakers are sized based on the nominal current +10%. This is to accommodate either low grid voltage or deviation in cable length between parallel UPSs. The battery breakers are sized based on the end-of-discharge voltage which has been defined as 380 VDC.

Guidance for Organizing Input and Output Cables
The input and output cables must be grouped in circuits. On raceways, use one of the two shown cable formations.
eConversion Limits for Parallel UPS Systems
eConversion requires a minimum load percentage on the Galaxy VL 1600-2000 kW UPS system. The minimum required load percentages depend on the power cable sizes.
Standard eConversion Limits Based on Recommended Cable Sizes
| UPS rating | Minimum load % |
|---|---|
| 1600 kW | 10% |
| 1800 kW | 10% |
| 2000 kW | 10% |
Load Sharing in Balance and Unbalance Scenarios in Bypass Operation or eConversion Mode
In double conversion (normal operation), the load sharing between the UPSs in the UPS system is equal as the inverter controls the output current and voltage. However, when the UPS system is commanded to transfer to eConversion (requested bypass), the load sharing is determined by the UPS system impedances (busbars, SCRs). This means that the entire power path from the common input point to the common output point influences the load distribution. This scenario is not unique to this specific UPS system and is applicable to any UPS system.
During eConversion mode or requested bypass operation, if any UPS in the UPS system experiences a load exceeding 100%, it will automatically transfer back to inverter mode as per the design. This ensures the protection and stability of the system.

Requirements for a Third Party Battery Solution
Battery breaker boxes from Schneider Electric are recommended for the battery interface. Please contact Schneider Electric for more information.
Third Party Battery Circuit Breaker Requirements
Design Requirements for a Battery Circuit Breaker
| Battery circuit breaker rated DC voltage > Normal battery voltage | The normal voltage of the battery configuration is defined as the highest nominal occurring battery voltage. This can be equivalent to the float voltage which may be defined as number of battery blocks x number of cells x cell float voltage. |
| Battery circuit breaker rated DC current > Rated discharge battery current | This current is controlled by the UPS and must include maximum discharge current. This will typically be the current at the end of discharge (minimum operation DC voltage or in overload condition or a combination). |
| DC landings | Two DC landings for DC cables (DC+ and DC-) are required. |
| AUX switches for monitoring | One AUX switch must be installed in each battery circuit breaker and connected to the UPS system. See Signal Connection for Battery Bank Breaker Status with 8 x LIBSESMG17UL Battery Cabinets for details. |
| Short-circuit breaking capability | The short-circuit breaking capability must be higher than the short-circuit DC current of the (largest) battery configuration. |
| Minimum trip current | The minimum short-circuit current to trip the battery circuit breaker must match the (smallest) battery configuration, to make the circuit breaker trip in case of a short circuit, up to the end of its life time. |
