regulations in force.

Delphys BC 160-300kVA - OPMDELBC0519-EN_15A - SOCOMEC EN 5

 3. GENERAL

3.1. Scope
This document provides required information for operating Delphys BC systems. It describes the facilities offered on
the control panels:
• Scrolling through the menus displayed
• Load transfer onto the automatic and/or maintenance bypass
• System start up or shutdown

The operating instructions refer to the most frequently used configurations, i.e.:
• Single UPS’s with bypass
• Modular systems

3.2. Purpose And Ups Composition

UPS provide:
• very low distortion and high power factor to the upstream power supply,
• voltage and frequency stability as well as continuity of supply to downstream loads –whatever the outages or
disturbances on the upstream power supply-.

The system is fitted with double conversion VFI-SS-111 technology.

When the input power supply is present, the UPS acts as a stabilizer. In the event of a utility outage, it acts as a
source of electrical power. In such case, the required power is supplied by the battery, which is kept charged when
the mains is present.

UPS provide three-phase sinusoidal output. The UPS is composed of:

• 1 three-phase Power Factor Correction (PFC) rectifier, based on 3 levels topology,
• 1 three-phase inverter, based on 3 levels topology,
• 1 static bypass to transfer the load automatically and without interruption to the bypass supply.
• 1 maintenance bypass, which allows a seamless load transfer to the mains during maintenance operations,
• 1 battery,
• 1 DC/DC converter to manage battery (charge/discharge),
• 1 control panel made up of a mimic panel, an 8-line display and an intuitive user interface.

3.3. Safety

CAUTION
The equipment can only be switched on or used if the following conditions are fulfilled:
• electrical connections comply with the regulation in force (earth bonding, appropriate protections and cross-
section of cables)
• all means to comply with the protection index of the system are in place, such as side panels, doors, glands,
shields or whatever....

ADVICE
• Carefully follow the instructions described in this manual.
• All operations must only be carried out by personnel who are suitably trained and with authorized access to
restricted areas.

CAUTION
Do not forget that even when the load is stopped the unit is live:
• because of the mains voltage, the rectifier and the bypass.
• because of the voltage generated by the battery and by the rectifier.
• because of the load voltage when the maintenance bypass Q5 is closed and the bypass mains is present.

DANGER
Any operation inside the cabinets is to be completed:
• once the UPS is stopped and no longer live
• after 5 minutes, the time for the capacitors upstream of the rectifier and inverter to discharge.

The residual voltage of the capacitors may still cause heavy electrical arcs after 5 minutes.

Before closing the battery protection, be sure that the rectifier is started !

HAZARD INDICATION
While the UPS is operating, this label indicates that the parts are live and therefore the risk of electrical hazard.

All operations behind protection panels must only be carried out by personnel who are suitably trained.

3.4. Power Supply Inputs

Three power supply inputs are needed to operate the system:

• voltage on input 1 for the supply to the rectifier,
• voltage on input 2 for the supply to the automatic bypass (depending on the system, inputs 1 and 2 can be
common),
• the DC voltage for the battery (about 500Vdc).

Delphys BC 160-300kVA - OPMDELBC0519-EN_15A - SOCOMEC EN 7

 4. MODES OF OPERATION

4.1. On line operations

ON LINE operation consists of double conversion operation in conjunction with mains absorption with very low
distortion and a power factor at 1.
This enables UPS to supply a voltage that is fully stabilised in frequency and amplitude, regardless of any
interference in the mains power supply.
ON LINE operation provides three operating modes according to mains and load conditions:

“Normal” mode.
This is the most frequent operating condition: the energy is drawn from the primary mains power supply and is
converted and used by the inverter to generate the output voltage to power the loads connected.
The inverter is constantly synchronised with the auxiliary mains to enable load transfer (due to an overcurrent or
inverter shutdown) without any break in the power supply to the load.
The battery charger supplies the energy required to maintain or recharge the battery.

“Bypass” mode.
In case of inverter failure, the load is automatically transferred onto the auxiliary mains without any interruption in the
power supply. This procedure may occur in the following situations:
– in the event of a temporary overload, the inverter continues to power the load. If the condition persists,
UPS output is switched onto the auxiliary mains via the automatic bypass. Normal operation, which is from
inverter, returns automatically a few seconds after the overload disappears.
– when the voltage generated by the inverter goes is out of tolerances due to a major overload or a fault on
the inverter.
– when the internal temperature exceeds the maximum value allowed.

“Battery” mode.
In the event of a mains failure (micro interruptions or extended black-outs), UPS continues to power the load using
the energy stored in the battery. The Expert Battery System keeps the user constantly informed on the battery status
and on the remaining back-up time adapted permanently according to the battery capacity and the load rate.

4.2. Operation with manual maintenance bypass

If the manual maintenance bypass is activated (with the appropriate procedure), the load is powered directly from the
auxiliary mains, while UPS is in fact excluded from the power supply and can be switched off.

This operating mode is useful when maintenance needs to be carried out on UPS since service personnel can work
on the installation without having to cut off the power supply to the load.

8 EN Delphys BC 160-300kVA - OPMDELBC0519-EN_15A - SOCOMEC

4.3. Operation with external manual maintenance bypass (optional)
The external manual maintenance bypass may be placed on the general distribution panel when Delphys BC is
installed, or by installing the bypass panel that is supplied on request.
The Q4 disconnector must be connected to the auxiliary mains input and the mains input must be isolated on the panel.
If the manual maintenance bypass is activated (with the appropriate procedure), the load is powered directly from the
auxiliary mains, while UPS is in fact excluded from the power supply and can be switched off.
This operating mode is useful when maintenance needs to be carried out on UPS since service personnel can work
on the installation without having to cut off the power supply to the load.

4.4. Operation in g.e. configuration.

With a generator, the frequency and voltage ranges of the auxiliary mains can be increased to accept the instability
of the GE and at the same time to avoid operation from the battery or risks of out-of-synchronisation switching onto
the bypass.

NOTE: in any case, see the technical details of the drawing on the inner side of the UPS door.

4.5.2. Eco Mode operation (optional)

When the auxiliary mains quality is good enough, Eco Mode operation provides the supply to the load directly by
the auxiliary mains to optimize the operating costs of the installation. The online double conversion chain is put on
Standby while ensuring the recharge of the batteries.
In case of auxiliary mains power cut, the load is transferred to the online double conversion chain and operation is
similar to On Line mode battery.
If the quality of the auxiliary mains is outside the acceptable range for the load, the latter is transferred to the online
double conversion chain and operation is similar to online normal mode.
When the auxiliary mains finds a sufficient quality in a sustainable way, the load is automatically transferred back to
auxiliary mains.

situations. Logic behind the interaction is:
– Single pressing (below 3 sec): HOME page return of graphic display
– 3 sec < time < 6 sec: change the language to the default (English)
– 6 sec < time < 8/9 sec: go to the calibration screen automatically
– Above 8/9 sec: implement the hw reset of the micro controller and restart of the graphic
• Display: is the main active matrix of the display sensitive to touch pressure. The display is designed for rugged
industrial applications. The display is single-touch only (no double touch effects). Depending on pressure, the
navigation tree and various functions will be executed.
Two special functions are present on the control panel:
• Standby screen: for safety reasons, after a programmable amount of time, the display goes on standby. Display
goes to the main screen and touch screen sensitivity is disabled. A label on the bottom of the main screen
displays this status. To exit this status press the screen for the HOME button.
• OFF status: for power consumption and life enhancement, after a programmable amount of time display goes in “off”.
Display goes black and no interaction is possible. Touching the HOME button or screen resumes normal operations.
Handle the control panel with care. It is made of metal, glass and plastic and contains delicate electronic
components. The control panel may be damaged if dropped, pierced or broken or comes into contact
with liquids. Do not use the control panel with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury.

8. OPERATING MODES

8.1. On line mode

A special feature of the UPS is the ONLINE double conversion in conjunction with low distortion mains power
absorption. In ON LINE mode, the UPS can supply a voltage that is fully stabilised in frequency and amplitude,
regardless of any interference in the mains power supply, within the most stringent classification of UPS regulations.
ONLINE operation provides three operating modes according to mains and load conditions:
• Inverter mode
This is the most frequent operating condition: energy is drawn from the primary mains power supply and converted
and used by the inverter to generate the output voltage to power the connected loads.
The inverter is constantly synchronised in frequency with the auxiliary mains to enable load transfer (due to an
overload or inverter shutdown) without any break in the power supply to the load.
The battery charger supplies the energy required to maintain or recharge the battery.
• Bypass mode
In the event of inverter failure, the load is automatically transferred onto the auxiliary mains without any interruption
in the power supply.
This procedure may occur in the following situations:
– in the event of a temporary overload, the inverter continues to power the load. If the condition persists, the
UPS output is switched.
– on to the auxiliary mains via automatic bypass. Normal operation, which is from the inverter, returns
automatically a few seconds after the overload disappears.
– when the voltage generated by the inverter goes outside the limits due to a major overload or a fault on the
inverter.
– when the internal temperature exceeds the maximum value allowed.
• Battery mode
In the event of a mains failure (micro interruptions or extended power cuts), the UPS continues to power the load
using the energy stored in the battery.

8.2. High efficiency mode

The UPS has a selectable, programmable economy operating mode (ECO MODE) that can increase overall
efficiency by up to 99% for energy saving purposes. If the power supply fails, the UPS will automatically switch onto
the inverter and continue to supply power to the load by drawing energy from the battery.
This mode does not provide perfect stability in frequency and voltage like the NORMAL MODE. Therefore the use
of this mode should be carefully evaluated according to the level of protection required by the application. With
the optional board Net Vision specific daily or weekly time intervals can be selected and programmed to power
applications directly from the auxiliary mains.
ECO MODE operation provides very high efficiency, since the application is powered directly from the auxiliary
mains via the automatic bypass under normal operating conditions.
To activate follow the correct procedure in the control panel.

Delphys BC 160-300kVA - OPMDELBC0519-EN_15A - SOCOMEC EN 25

 8.3. Converter mode
In converter mode the UPS can supply a fully stabilised sinusoidal output voltage with a different frequency from the
input power line (50 Hz or 60 Hz is available as output frequency value).

NOTE: only set this mode on UPS units with the auxiliary mains (AUX MAINS) disconnected! Do not
set this mode on UPS units with common mains lines as it could damage the load!

8.4. Operation with maintenance bypass

If the internal maintenance bypass is activated using the appropriate procedure, the load is powered directly from the
maintenance bypass, while the UPS is separated from the power supply and can be switched off.
This operating mode can be selected for maintenance to be carried out on the system, so that the necessary actions
can be performed by service personnel without having to disconnect the power supply to the load.

8.5. Operation with motor generator (genset)

The UPS can be operated in conjunction with a generator (GENSET) over the ADC+SL card (refer to 'Standard
features and option' chapter). With a generator, the frequency and voltage ranges of the auxiliary mains can be
increased to accept the instability of the GENSET and at the same time to avoid operation from the battery or risks
of out-of-synchronisation switching on to the bypass.

11.3. Preventive maintenance
All operations on the equipment must be carried out solely by SOCOMEC personnel or by
authorised service personnel.
Maintenance requires accurate functionality checks of the various electronic and mechanical parts and, if necessary,
the replacement of parts subject to wear and tear (batteries, fans and condensers). It is recommended to carry out
periodic specialised maintenance (annually), in order to keep the equipment at the maximum level of efficiency and
to avoid the installation being out of service with possible damage/risks. Moreover, attention should be paid to any
requests for preventive maintenance that the equipment may automatically display with alarm/warning message.

11.3.1. Batteries
The state of the battery is fundamental to UPS operation.
Thanks to the Expert Battery System, the information relating to the state and the conditions of use of the battery
are processed in real time and the recharging and discharging procedures are selected automatically in order to
optimise battery life expectancy and offer maximum performance.
Furthermore, during the operating life of the battery, Delphys BC™ stores statistics on the conditions of use of the
battery for analysis.
Since the expected life of the batteries is very much dependent on operating conditions (number of charging and
discharging cycles, load rate, temperature), a periodic check by authorised personnel is recommended.

When replacing the batteries, use the same type and configuration by placing them in the
appropriate containers so as to avoid the risk of acid leakage.

The replaced batteries must be disposed of at authorised recycling and disposal centres.

Do not open the plastic cover of the batteries as they contain harmful substances.

11.3.2. Fans
The life of the fans used to cool the power parts is dependent on the using and environmental conditions (tem-
perature, dust).
Preventive replacement by an authorised technician is recommended within 4 years (in normal operating conditions).

When needed, fans must be replaced as per specifications by SOCOMEC .

11.3.3. Capacitors.
The equipment houses electrolytic capacitors (used in the rectifier and inverter section) and filtering capacitors (used
in the output section), whose life is dependent on using and environmental conditions.
The average expected life of these components is shown below:
• Electrolytic capacitors: 5 years;
• Filtering capacitors: 5 years.
In any case the effective state of the components is verified during preventive maintenance.
