UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems: A Practical Guide to Setup, Operation and Maintenance<\/h1>\n
Manual for Power Supply Assurance of Critical Control Systems on Ships<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Section I. UPS Overview<\/h2>\n
\n

UPS is the English abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power System. When power quality problems occur in the power grid, such as surge, high voltage spike, transient overvoltage, voltage sag, line noise, frequency shift, continuous low voltage, power supply interruption, the UPS will ensure the output of stable, pure, uninterrupted sinusoidal AC voltage so that the microcomputer system or the corresponding control system can continue to maintain normal operation.<\/p>\n

\n

Core conversion logic:<\/strong>UPS in the usual sense of the input is 220V AC, the output is also 220V AC, but through the middle of the power electronic conversion and battery link. In the 220 V normal power supply, through the rectifier to keep the battery charged, while the inverter can output 220 V AC; in the power supply 220 V power failure, the battery through the discharge and inverter, can continue to maintain a period of 220 V output to achieve uninterrupted power supply.<\/p>\n

Alarm Mechanism: Audible and visual alarm when battery energy is about to be exhausted. When overloaded (150% load), jumps to bypass state and returns automatically when load is normal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

UPS Three major classifications<\/h3>\n
\n
1. Backup UPS:<\/strong>Filters output and charges only during normal times. Switches to battery\/inverter power after power interruption.<\/div>\n
2. On-line UPS:<\/strong>The inverter always works without switching time. Equipped with voltage stabilization and prevention of electric wave interference.<\/div>\n
3. Double conversion on-line UPS:<\/strong>AC\u2192DC\u2192AC conversion to provide pure and stable voltage. The battery is connected to the DC bus.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Core Component Composition<\/h3>\n
\n
1. Rectifier (AC\u2192DC)<\/strong>
\nFor use with loads or inverters and as a charger to power batteries.<\/div>\n
2. Storage batteries (energy storage)<\/strong>
\nCapacity determines the time to maintain discharge. Converts chemical and electrical energy to each other.<\/div>\n
3. Inverter (DC\u2192AC)<\/strong>
\nIt consists of an inverter bridge, control logic and filter circuit.<\/div>\n
4. Static switching (non-contact changeover)<\/strong>
\nIt consists of SCRs and is divided into conversion type (dual power supply switching) and parallel type.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Section 2: Use and Maintenance of UPS<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

I. UPS startup and shutdown sequence<\/h3>\n

1. First power-up:<\/strong>Storage battery switch \u2192 automatic bypass switch \u2192 output switch \u201cON\u201d. Press the \u201cON\u201d button to start, wait until the \u201cBypass\u201d lamp goes out and turn to inverter power supply. After 10min of no load, turn on the load from small to large.<\/p>\n

2. Daily start-up:<\/strong>Press the \u201cON\u201d button and turn on the load switch after about 20 min of stabilization (the manual maintenance switch should be \u201cOFF\u201d).<\/p>\n

3. Shutdown:<\/strong>Turn off the load first, let the UPS run no-load for 10min to remove heat, and then press the \u201cOff\u201d button on the panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Precautions for the use of UPS<\/h3>\n
\n
    \n
  • Environment: Avoid dust and grease intrusion.<\/li>\n
  • Sequence: power on (power supply \u2192 UPS \u2192 load); power off (load \u2192 UPS \u2192 power supply).<\/li>\n
  • Contacts: Ensure that air switches, gate knives, sockets, etc. are making good contact and are not firing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Load limitation: It is not allowed to connect inductive loads (such as electric drill), and overloading is prohibited.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Heat dissipation: Clean air inlet holes every 2-3 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

      III. Routine maintenance and overhaul (battery focus)<\/h3>\n

      The main work lies in dust control and battery maintenance. Quarterly thorough cleaning of the mainframe is required. Maintenance still requires in-depth analysis as the UPS fault self-test may have false alarms.<\/p>\n

      \n
      Battery Maintenance Manual<\/div>\n
      \n

      \u25cf Discharge Protocol:<\/strong>Discharge the battery at least once a year under float charging mode and equalize the charge before discharging. Attend to and dispose of outdated batteries.<\/p>\n

      \u25cf Labeled batteries:<\/strong>There are 8 labeled cells in each group, and regular measurements are recorded as a reference for the whole group.<\/p>\n

      \u25cf Daily inspections:<\/strong>Voltage, temperature, corrosion of connections, shell deformation and leakage, escape of acid mist from safety valves.<\/p>\n

      \u25cf Troubleshooting:<\/strong>Reverse polarity, high pressure drop, high differential pressure or leaking batteries are found to need to be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.Mixing batteries of different capacities\/performance\/manufacturers is prohibited.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

      Section III UPS Setup and Maintenance Example<\/h2>\n
      \n

      I. UPS operation mode status check<\/h3>\n
      \n
      1. Normal mode of operation:<\/strong>AC\u2192DC charging and eliminating pollution (surges, noise, etc.) and providing voltage regulation.<\/div>\n
      2. Battery operating mode:<\/strong>When the utility power is abnormal, DC\u2192AC conversion provides power until the power runs out or returns to normal.<\/div>\n
      3. Bypass mode of operation:<\/strong>Directly connected to the mains in case of overload or fault. Adopt phase-locked synchronization technology to ensure phase consistency.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      UPS operation mode switching test practice<\/h3>\n
      \n

      Test Process SOP:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Shut down all critical loads.<\/li>\n
      2. Disconnect the boat power input switch (analog loss of power).<\/li>\n
      3. Start the UPS with the battery, switch toBattery powered mode<\/strong>Check the inverter voltage and light display.<\/li>\n
      4. Close the boat power input switch and verify that the UPS can automatically jump back to thenormal mode<\/strong>(ship's electric power supply).<\/li>\n
      5. If the jump is abnormal, disconnect the mains switch again after a few seconds to observe the inverter status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
