MASTERYS
2.1 Range

MASTERYS™ is a very wide range of high-performance UPSs designed to protect critical and sensitive
equipment in “mission critical” applications in the IT, telecom and industrial sectors, such as enterprise
servers, storage systems, networking apparatus, telecommunications systems, diagnostic/ medical
equipment and industrial processes.
It is developed in models (BC, MC, EB, IP) with power ratings from 8 to 90kVA covering all possible
electrical configurations: single-phase/single-phase, three-phase/single-phase and three-phase/three-
phase.

Each family has been specifically designed to satisfy requirements in particular application environments so
as to optimize the product’s characteristics and to facilitate its integration in the system.

2.2 Total protection, quality power supply and maximum reliability

The protection offered is global and intelligent, and thus covers both the hardware and the data which
together make up the so-called “mission critical” application or service.
MASTERYS™ has been developed to provide the highest level of “availability”, with:

¾ extremely accurate control of output voltage and frequency, with immediate switching from and to the
battery power supply.
Thanks to on-line double conversion technology (VFI), the maximum level of performance envisaged can be
obtained, that is, “VFI-SS-111” as defined by European standard EN62040-3.

¾ sinusoidal absorption, and therefore no current harmonics reflected on the mains power supply upstream
of the UPS, which translates into savings in electrical energy and installation costs.
Thanks to the six-pack IGBT rectifier with PFC (Power Factor Correction), which ensures that current
distortion (THDi) < 3% is obtained, and PF>0.99. Energy savings can be as much as 20% and full
compatibility is ensured in the event of use in combination with a generator, without having to oversize the
generator.

5
¾ an emergency power supply from battery to be able to continue working during power cuts or to save
MASTERYS

data and automatically shut down the system if necessary.


The back-up times can be configured for up to several hours but what makes this product unique is the way
in which it draws energy from the batteries with two separate, independent strings, introducing for the very
first time on the market the stand alone UPS with redundant batteries.

¾ an emergency power supply GSS coordinated with Generator in order to optimize both functionality and
sizing, avoiding over sizing and the relative extra costs in investment and energy consumption.
MASTERYS™ provides coordinated management with a GE to control the energy resource external to the
UPS through the exchange of status, alarm and control signals, fully integrating the two sources.

¾ The redundant configuration N+X to guarantee very high availability (99.99999%) and a NO single point
of failure solution.
The application is supported through the principle of “load sharing” between the various UPSs of the system
in the configuration with distributed by-pass.
All the UPSs in the range can be placed in parallel with digital control, from 2 to 6 units depending on the
family. The system’s control technology is widely consolidated (floating master) and performance has been
improved with the use of DSP, which allows faster information exchanges and a view of the plant on the LCD
panel of each unit working as concentrator display.

¾ a modular UPS solution that is easily expanded according to the concept of power on demand following
the typical expansion and redesign needs of an IT system
In addition to the traditional parallel configuration of single units, MASTERYS™ is also available in a three-
phase modular model with all the prerogatives of expansion and maintenance made faster and simpler.
The modular models form part of the EB family and are developed on the basis of the actual three/three 15
and 30kVA modules.

¾ an intelligent power supply that can manage time segments and application segments differently
depending on the level of differential protection, up to 3, and on energy saving.
In addition to the absolute guarantee of continuous power, MASTERYS™ also offers the opportunity to
select, and therefore customize, operating and priority modes on the various applications of the system. The
following modes in particular can be selected: OnLine, Eco Mode and Always On Mode in combination with
the power share output.

¾ A high communication and interfacing capability, up to 5 simultaneous levels for remote diagnostics,
automatic shutdown, programming and administration of the UPS.
MASTERYS™ is supplied as standard with the RS232/485 serial interface and with two slots for optional
communication boards for each application (Relays, system inputs, Gen Set, NetVision).
The MC, EB and IP models are also supplied as standard with a further RS232 for modem connection and a
“LAN” network RJ45 port for the easy integration of the UPS into an Ethernet network, which is now a
standard feature in all operating environments.

3. Flexibility

MASTERYS
3.1 Power ratings from 8 to 90 kVA

The entire range is developed (4 models with 33 basic products) on 4 cabinets, 3 of which have the same
floor size.
The possibility of modulating the power and back-up time of the UPS is therefore translated into cabinet
height:
¾ 800 mm;
¾ 1000 mm;
¾ 1400 mm;
where, thanks to the compact electronics, internal back-up times can be increased up to 30 minutes on the
30kVA and internal back-up time on the 40kVA

M 444mm 795mm 1000mm (H2)
T 444mm 795mm 1400mm (H3)

The equipment has been designed to take up the least possible space, whether direct or indirect (direct
space means the floor surface taken up / indirect space means all the space required for maintenance,
ventilation and access to the parts for handling and communication).

Special care has also been taken to ensure that the unit is easily accessible for maintenance and installation
purposes:

¾ all the handling components and the communication interfaces are located in the upper front part and
are accessible by opening the first panel, which has a distinctive red profile (with the exception of the IP
version, which has a single metal door);

¾ air for cooling is only taken in at the front, while it is discharged only at the back; this is so it can be
positioned alongside other equipment or external battery cabinets if these are present.

3.2 One range, 4 models

MASTERYS
BC (11 products)
• Simplicity of installation and use
• Low distortion sinusoidal absorption
• Internal back-up time up to 95 minutes on 8kVA and 45 minutes on 20kVA
• Single-phase or three-phase universal mains input for 8 and 10kVA models
• Can be installed in 19” cabinets

MC (10 products)
• Very low distortion sinusoidal absorption (THDi<3%)
• Maximum battery reliability (2 redundant branches)
• Parallelability up to 6 units
• Graphic display with icons and ideograms
• LAN connection standard

EB (4 products)
• Modular system up to 3 three/three modules, 15 or 30kVA (max 90kVA)
• Very low distortion sinusoidal absorption (THDi<3%)

IP (8 products)
• Galvanic isolation of the output
• Very low distortion sinusoidal absorption (THDi<3%)
• Cabinet with metal door for better mechanical resistance
• Graphic display with icons and ideograms
• Relay signalling contacts standard

The model is therefore chosen according to its application. Other models or greater back-up times can still
be selected even in the plant engineering phase without having to change the system specifications, at least
from the physical point of view. Flexibility is also offered in the I/O electrical configurations.

3.3 Single/single, three/single and three/three.
MASTERYS

As mentioned in the point above, the range covers all possible I/O electrical configurations:
- INPUT: single-phase or three-phase (also combi*)
- OUTPUT: single-phase or three-phase
- BY-PASS: separate by-pass is standard on the three/single and optional on the others.
- Galvanic isolation

*Since the 8 and 10kVA input models are the most subject to plant engineering disturbances or instabilities,
they are provided with an input known as combi, that is, both single-phase and three-phase. The type of
connection can be selected at the time of installation by means of the jumpers in the terminal board.

The product is easily identified as the catalogue code is self-explanatory and contains information on the
voltage and power ratings as shown in the figure below.

3.4 Flexible back-up time

Different levels of back-up extension can be achieved by using the standard UPS cabinet or a higher

MASTERYS
cabinet, while always keeping the same compact footprint.
For power ratings >=40kVA, or significant back-up times on significant power ratings, the use of batteries in
an additional cabinet is envisaged and, if necessary, an additional battery charger.

* Specific additional battery cabinet W=1000mm H=1800mm D=800

The back-up time definition is very flexible since a wide range of battery voltage can be accepted.
The batteries are arranged internally in shelves optimized for the size of the batteries to keep overall size to
a minimum while providing significant back-up times.

The batteries inside the UPS are arranged in 2 separate strings made of battery “units” connected in series;
each individual unit is connected via polarized connectors, which facilitates battery configuration and
maintenance operations.
Each “unit” has a container (acid proof) specifically designed to prevent problems in the event of acid leaking
from a battery.

3.5 19” Adaptability

The models up to 40kVA have the proper sise to be inserting in standard 19” cabinets; this provides
MASTERYS™ with great flexibility of size and enabling it to be integrated in a wide range of IT
environments.
Attention should be paid to weight and to heat dissipation which could become restraints to be verify with the
customer or installation engineer.-

11
3.6 Horizontal and vertical parallel

MASTERYS™ is the only UPS on the market to offer 3 UPS “configurations” in the same range:
MASTERYS

¾ Single UPS (stand alone)


¾ Parallel UPS (Horizontal parallel)
¾ Modular UPS (Vertical parallel)
For a wide choice of solutions according to the current and future needs of the application and to scalability,
which has become an essential feature when investing in a professional uninterruptible power system.

This is the so-called stand alone This is implemented with multiple This configuration, besides offering

correctly sized.

To ensure maximum system reliability in any parallel configuration (either Horizontal or Vertical) the parallel
logic is of the master/ slave type with floating master: in concrete, synchronization between the units or
modules is managed by the UPS MASTER. In the event of a failure, it disconnects automatically from the
power circuit (selective disconnection) and control is passed to another UPS.
If the power supplied by the remaining UPS units is not sufficient to power the load, these will be transferred
to the mains (by-pass) automatically and without any interruption.

4. High availability

The architecture of MASTERYS™ has been designed to provide optimum reliability, durability over time and

MASTERYS
redundancy. It provides an absolute guarantee of uninterrupted power for the applications (high availability)
without neglecting aspects of energy savings and saving on the investment.

Electrical availability expressed as a % is the probability with which the uninterruptible power system
is able to supply a safe and quality power supply to the protected applications.
In order to obtain high availability, equipment that is highly reliable must be used, on which rapid
maintenance interventions can be carried out whenever necessary.
The formula used to calculate the availability value is based on two known parameters:
- MTBF (mean time between failure)
- MTTR (mean time to repair)

AVAILABILITY % = (1- MTTR / MTBF) x 100

The required electrical availability must be evaluated on the basis of the criticality of the application
and the functional and economic consequences of a stoppage of the equipment.
The parameters of the formula have to be adjusted in order to obtain very high levels of availability,
that is 99.9999 % :

¾ By increasing the MTBF and choosing a reliable UPS in a “fault tolerant” configuration; that is,
one that can accept any kind of failure without compromising the power supply to the
applications until it is fully restored.
¾ By reducing the MTTR by means of diagnostic systems in real time that can rapidly identify the
faulty component and carry out preventive maintenance.

Fault tolerance is achieved by means of a redundant architecture, that is, a configuration with parallel
components.

Redundancy for an uninterruptible power supply can be provided on 3 different levels:


¾ redundancy of the source to ensure availability even during extended mains power failures;
¾ redundancy of the UPS to ensure full protection even in the event of a failure and during the
recovery phase;
¾ redundancy of distribution by means of Static Transfer Systems which provide protected
branching of the power supply downstream of the uninterruptible power supply lines.

As described in the following chapters, MASTERYS™ can satisfy all the availability requirements for all the
above-mentioned levels.
The following data on the MTBF, MTTR and AVAILABILITY of MASTERYS are provided as reference:

4.1 Redundant ups and redundant distribution
MASTERYS

As described in full in the chapter on parallel configurations, the architecture of MASTERYS™ has been
designed to satisfy all requirements of safety, availability and future development of the load.
The various configurations can be factory preset in the initial phase or subsequently implemented following
the development of the system.
The modular parallel configuration is put to best use in the e-Business version where, for a contained initial
investment, the UPS can at any time be configured in N+1 redundancy or the installed power be increased
by adding a UPS module with the advantage of keeping both the electrical installation and the footprint
unchanged.

REDUNDANCY

SCALABILITY

After reaching the desired level of redundancy for the UPS or for requirements of reconditioning an existing
system, redundancy of distribution can be created by combining MASTERYS™ in Static Transfer System
(STS) solutions.
MASTERYS™ is preset to work in perfect synchronism with STS systems thanks to the ACS option
described below.
STS systems can be installed at various distribution levels, preferably in greater numbers for each section of
the system.

14
4.2 External synchronization (ACS)

The optional ACS (Automatic Cross Synchronization) function enables the use of MASTERYS™ combined

MASTERYS
with an STS to keep the output in sync with an alternative power source or with another independent UPS.
This enables, for example, the synchronization of two independent UPSs if no reference source (emergency
mains) is present.

The ACS function ensures each UPS operation


without criticalities and enables the
synchronous transfer of the Static Transfer
Systems (MTC and IT SWITCH) installed
downstream, even during periods of mains
power failure (operation from battery). This
functionality requires the installation (factory
configured or subsequently installed by
qualified personnel) of an electronic board
which is needed to read an external power
supply source and to process the sync signals
subsequently managed by the DSP.

4.3 Static transfer systems

The Static Transfer Systems (STS) allow implementation of a system with “dual power supply” to provide
“high availability” for critical loads by combining different sources (e.g. centralized UPS and distributed UPS).

Powered from two independent and


synchronous sources, the Static Transfer
Systems (MTC and IT SWITCH) are
autonomous and completely automatic. They
ensure the safety of the power supply by
monitoring the characteristic parameters of the
two sources and implementing immediate
transfer without causing disturbances to the
powered applications.
The distributed redundancy solution
implemented with MTC and IT SWITCH
guarantees optimal protection against:

• Human errors and failures in the Load 1


distribution of electrical energy
(triggering of protection devices
upstream)

• Disturbances caused by other


Load 2
equipment powered from the same
source
Load 3

15
4.4 Redundant batteries (dual battery)
MASTERYS

The topology used to implement the DC/DC converter in models MC, EB and IP is state of the art; this
innovative technology draws energy from two separate and independent strings of batteries whenever the
mains power supply fails.
Unlike the traditional configuration with a single string of batteries and with the central point connected to
neutral, the batteries of MASTERYS™ are arranged in two equivalent but totally separate strings.

Traditional UPS MASTERYS™ Technology

The failure of one battery string (e.g. due to a single faulty battery) does not compromise operation of the
equipment since the batteries of the efficient string can ensure back-up time to the load though for less time.

This concept is put to best use in the configuration of equipment in parallel, each using the dual battery
solution.

MASTERYS™ technology applied to EB model

In this configuration the failure of a battery string, besides not compromising the operation of the whole
system, also gives the benefit of not completely reducing the back-up time capacity of the UPS affected by
the failure.

16
4.5 Expert battery system

MASTERYS
The concept of battery redundancy associated with Expert Battery System technology increases the overall
level of equipment reliability.
Thanks to the information processed in real time regarding the status and conditions of use of the battery,
the recharge or discharge modes are selected automatically to safeguard the life of the battery, while offering
maximum performance.

The whole MASTERYS™ range is equipped with the Expert Battery System; the advanced management is
obtained through the presence of the DSP processors that provide the intelligence needed for the following
functionalities:

¾ Appropriate recharge mode: the battery charger in automatic mode selects the most suitable recharge
method according to the temperature, ranging from back-up recharge to “intermittent” recharge in order
to limit corrosive phenomena and to obtain a significant increase in battery life.
¾ Battery recharge dependent on the temperature: a required element prescribed by manufacturers of
accumulators to extend battery life, especially in applications subject to thermal variations in the
premises of installation.
¾ Management of different types of batteries: possibility of selecting the recharge of sealed, open vase
and nickel cadmium batteries.
¾ Displays: indication on the display of all the battery parameters; real back-up time remaining, charge
level, voltage, current and temperature of the battery compartment.
¾ Periodic battery test: programmable periodic check by means of an automatic test on the single string
with the result shown on the display
¾ Protection against deep discharge or prolonged recharge: protection against two phenomena that
contribute to battery ageing.
¾ Battery charger with reduced ripple: very low level of ripple (AC component that can harm batteries)
so that the batteries can be used up to the maximum of the average life guaranteed by the manufacturer.

4.6 Energy saver for parallel units
MASTERYS

The MASTERYS™ series offers the ENERGY SAVER; this is a new functionality introduced in parallel
configurations (both vertical and horizontal) to guarantee the global availability of the system and to reduce
energy consumption at the same time.

It is well-known that it is necessary to oversize the UPS or the N+1 redundancy in order to increase the
availability of uninterrupted power, but this increases energy consumption. Indeed, actual use of the system
well below the nominal power results in less than optimal efficiency.

ENERGY SAVER mode, which is only offered on the market by MASTERYS™, overcomes the above-
mentioned limitations and always keeps efficiency at maximum level.

The functionality is activated automatically in configurations with more than two units in parallel. High speed
digital control is used to keep in operation only those units needed to guarantee the absorption required by
the load at any given time. Redundancy of operation is still ensured, while improving the overall efficiency of
the whole system at the same time.

Any increase in load absorption or the faulty operation of a unit causes the immediate intervention of the
units required for the correct supply with ZERO response time.

5. Communication capacity

MASTERYS
5.1 Multilevel communication

MASTERYS™ can manage various communication channels at the same time, whether serial, contact or
Ethernet:
The various boards and signalling accessories are housed in the 2 built-in communication slots that are
standard on all models. This gives MASTERYS™ interfacing and integration flexibility also after installation,
even for hot swap replacement, and without requiring the intervention of specialized personnel.

5.2 Embedded LAN

Data centres, and IT system administrators in general, are constantly on the look-out for more intelligent and
simpler working methods to enable active, integrated management of peripherals.
MASTERYS

It is precisely in this regard that the UPS has evolved and MASTERYS™, born in the "net generation” is
already able to connect to the LAN network thanks to the Ethernet RJ45 port “embedded” in the UPS, a
feature that is unique on the market.

The widespread use of LAN Ethernet networks, in both networking and industrial environments, simplifies
connections and makes the high speed exchange of information particularly reliable.

The main functions are listed below:


• 10Mb Ethernet connection (RJ45)
• Supervision via web browser
• Operation statistics
• Notification of faults via e-mail and SMS (GSM)
• Diagnostics via modem (optional) with the T-Service

Web page

If the UPS is connected to a LAN network via a simple mains cable,


UPS operation can be monitored from any PC in the same network
by means of an html page.

The active connection icon will be


shown on the UPS graphic
display

An IP address is assigned to the UPS for access via the browser, which is protected by a login and a
password.
The main web page shows the general UPS state graphically and dynamically.
Certain icons and menus allow fast access to information:
• diagnostics (alarms)
• electrical measurements,
• statistical analyses on the battery, energy absorption, use of the GE and environmental parameters
• commands to the UPS
• UPS settings
• language setting: (IT, GB, FR, ES, DE)
• network parameters
• change of password
• enabling JBUS via LAN tunnelling
• configuration of electronic mail (mail server address, e-mail account addressee)
• SW update (web browser)
• synchronization of UPS clock with network clock
• SMS message setting
• configuration of modem (motive…, NR, modem strings)

5.3 T-Service

This is a technologically advanced monitoring service to resolve all kinds of unexpected events in real time,

MASTERYS
thus providing a 24 x 7 service.
The aim of the service is not only to rapidly resolve problems but also to prevent critical states for the
application.
The service establishes automatic and continuous communication between the UPS and the Service centre,
at predefined time intervals and also whenever a fault occurs. Each emergency situation is managed and
resolved with the utmost speed, directly and remotely by the Service centre, or, if necessary, by immediate
action on site by the area technician.

The following types of connection between the UPS and the local service centre can be selected:
- via Internet by means of NetVision (via the network mail server)
- via fixed line telephone network or GSM via a suitable modem

The continuous power supply comes with an autodiagnostics system which can identify any faults by
analyzing UPS operation and the electrical or environmental conditions of the power supply such as
temperature, overload, etc, ensuring there is no risk of the equipment stopping.
The UPS autodiagnostics procedures ensure the continuous and automatic control of the operating
conditions. In the event of a fault, the system will promptly send a diagnostic report via e-mail or modem
connection directly to the service centre.

5.5 System concentrator: (ICM2)

MASTERYS
In the parallel configuration (horizontal parallel), each module comes with a graphic LCD display with ICM
function. This means that the individual units and the whole system hierarchically can be seen and controlled
on all displays.

The advantages of the Intelligent Communication Module functionality are that a single UPS can house a
selection of options and the external communication accessories needed for the monitoring and diagnostics
for the whole system (NetVision, GSS or ADC Board, etc.); information on the system, including the unified
Ethernet connection, is therefore remotable and made available centrally.

This functionality is already implicitly present in the e-Business solution which starts out as a single modular
system with a single ICM graphic display.

The ICM functionalities are linked exclusively to display and communication, without any interaction with the
parallel control electronics, to ensure there is no single point of failure.

6. Technology

MASTERYS
6.1 VFI: Voltage Frequency Independent

The main purpose of the Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is to


provide an autonomous power supply to the connected equipment
to that operation of the equipment is not affected by random
alterations and/or short extended failures of the mains power
supply.

A special feature of MASTERYS™ is the “ONLINE” double


conversion operation (VFI-SS-111 as defined by the new reference
standard EN 62040-3), that is, the capacity to supply a voltage that
is perfectly stabilized in frequency and amplitude, even in event of
extreme alterations in the mains power supply.

The table below shows the UPS classification procedures and


parameters in accordance with EN 62040-3

6.2 Description of the functional blocks
MASTERYS

With reference to the block diagram shown below, the individual blocks have the following functions:

(4)

(1) (3)

(2)

(2)

(1) RECTIFIER
When the mains power supply is present, the function of the rectifier is to convert the input alternating
voltage into a direct voltage (AC/DC converter) for the supply of the inverter stage.
Working directly with the mains voltage, it has power factor correction (PFC > 0.99), and input current
harmonic distortion control (THDi < 3%); these are important in order to ensure that other applications
powered on the same distribution line are not affected.
The same functional block is also used as a DC/DC converter during operation from battery. It supplies a
constant direct power supply inverter voltage and at the same time ensures protection against deep
discharges of the accumulator batteries used.

(2 )BATTERY
This is the energy source for the inverter power supply if the main power supply fails, in order to ensure there
is no break in the supply of power to the applications.
The main types of batteries used for these purposes are maintenance-free hermetically sealed lead, open
vase and nickel-cadmium batteries.

(3) INVERTER
This converts the direct voltage supplied by the rectifier stage into a sinusoidal voltage that is fully stabilized
in amplitude and frequency

(4) AUTOMATIC BY-PASS


This device transfers the UPS output onto the auxiliary mains in the event of an overload or a fault in the
inverter section.
The mains by-pass circuit is produced using thyristors and so intervention time is zero.

32
7. Modes of operation

MASTERYS
7.1 Operating modes and conditions

On line operation
A special feature of the MASTERYS™ series is the "ON LINE" double conversion operation in conjunction
with mains absorption with very low distortion.
With ON LINE mode, the UPS is able to supply a voltage that is fully stabilized in frequency and amplitude,
regardless of any interference in the mains power supply within the most stringent classification of UPS
regulations.
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
connected applications.
The inverter is constantly synchronized in frequency with the back-up power supply so that the load
can be transferred to it (due to an overload or inverter stoppage) without any break in the power
supply to the load.
The battery charger supplies the energy required to maintain or recharge the accumulator batteries.

"By-pass" mode
If the inverter should stop, the application is automatically transferred, without any interruption in
power, onto the stand-by mains.
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 inverter goes into protection mode and the UPS output is switched
via the automatic by-pass onto the stand-by mains line. Normal operation, that is from
inverter, returns automatically a few seconds after the overload disappears.
• when the voltage generated by the inverter goes out of the allowed limits of tolerance due
to a major overload or because of a fault on the inverter.
• when the internal temperature exceeds the maximum allowed value.

"Battery" mode
In the event of a mains failure (micro interruptions or extended black-outs), the UPS continues to
power the application using the energy stored in the accumulator battery.
The Expert Battery System keeps the user constantly informed on the battery status and on the
back-up time available.
The disconnection of non-privileged applications during battery discharge can be programmed (after
a certain amount of time has passed) by using the Power Share option so that the battery resources
can be reserved for the most critical applications.

Operation in economy mode

The UPS has a selectable and programmable “economy” operating mode that can increase overall efficiency
by up to 98%, for energy saving purposes. With this mode of operation, specific daily or weekly time
intervals can be selected and programmed in which the applications are powered directly from the back-up
power supply. If the 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, which is a property of ON LINE
operation, thus the use of this mode should be carefully evaluated according to the level of protection
required by the application.

Eco-Mode Operation
Very high efficiency can be achieved with Eco Mode operation, since in normal conditions the
application is powered directly from the back-up power supply via the automatic bypass.

33
Always On Operating Mode
Very high efficiency can be achieved with the innovative Always On mode in conjunction with active
filtering of the harmonics reflected in the mains by the distorting load.
MASTERYS

In normal conditions the application is powered directly from the stand-by mains via the automatic
bypass, while the inverter contributes towards compensating the reflected harmonics.

Operation with manual by-pass


If the manual by-pass is activated with the appropriate procedure, the load is powered directly from the
stand-by mains, while the UPS is in fact excluded 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.

Operation in GE configuration
MASTERYS™ provides for operation in conjunction with a generator (GE).
With a generator, the frequency and voltage ranges of the stand-by mains can be coordinated to accept the
instability of the GE and at the same time to avoid operation from the battery or risks of out-of-sync switching
to the by-pass.
The use of the GSS interface, described in the options section, also allows an increase in the amount of
diagnostic information exchanged between the continuous power system and the generator.

34
7.2 Six-pack IGBT rectifier with pfc

MASTERYS
A power factor close to one and the lowest harmonic distortion value that can currently be achieved for the
input current (combined between them) enables MASTERYS™:
¾ to limit its influence and that of the powered applications on the operation of other sensitive loads
connected to the same distribution line (upstream of the UPS),
¾ to lower operating costs by means of a substantial reduction in required power,
¾ to reduce the cable sections and the size of the protection devices located upstream of the UPS.

MASTERYS™ input section is based on a six-pack IGBT switching rectifier topology which, thanks to DSP
electronic control (enhanced predictive control) guarantees uniform performance with any level of load
powered and independent of mains power supply impedance.
This solution also ensures full compatibility with all types of generators, thus avoiding oversizing.
This structure built into the UPS means there is no need for external harmonics reducing devices such as
passive/active filters; it is therefore an additional element in reducing the indirect space taken up by the
system and is an integrated response in observance of the EN directive on harmonics.

In addition to excellent low distortion sinusoidal absorption performance, the MASTERYS™ IGBT rectifier
also offers significant benefits with regard to the wide range of input voltage and frequency from 260 to 480V
and from 45 to 65Hz without the use of the battery.
This feature allows a high level of immunity from mains disturbances, reducing the time of operation from
battery (fewer charge and discharge cycles) therefore protecting the initial investment.

35
7.3 Always - On Mode
MASTERYS

With its “ON LINE” double conversion operation (VFI-SS-111 in compliance with standard EN 62040-3),
MASTERYS™ supplies a voltage that is perfectly stabilized in voltage and in amplitude, independent of
alterations in the mains power supply.
During ON LINE operation, the input rectifier stage guarantees a power factor close to one and the lowest
harmonic distortion value that can be achieved.
MASTERYS™ also offers “Always ON Mode”, an innovative development in the possibility of use of
Continuous Power Systems.

When “Always ON Mode” is selected (or whenever there has been transfer onto the automatic by-pass), the
load is powered from the emergency mains. In this mode the harmonic rejections typical of the loads
powered, are in any case monitored and corrected by the UPS.
The topology of MASTERYS™ is in fact implemented to guarantee automatically the sinusoidal absorption of
input ensuring the quality of the mains power supply even with the load powered from the automatic by-pass.
A substantial reduction in installation power needed is achieved by keeping full compatibility with all types of
generators, thus avoiding their over-sizing.

36
7.4 Advantages of low distortion

The two functions described above, the six-pack IGBT rectifier and Always-On mode, have an integrated

MASTERYS
active filter. They have been introduced to ensure that in the various operating conditions the UPS does not
alter the quality and reliability of the primary power supply or its distribution.

Beside being determined by external interference such as over-voltages or spikes due to atmospheric
agents, the quality of the power supply is in fact increasingly affected by the presence of abnormal
absorption within the building due to the combination of linear and non linear loads that determine:

- an increase in harmonics,
- a subsequent rise in the voltage distortion level,
- an increase in the size of protective devices,
- oversizing of the power required by the power supply or in some cases by the generator, if present.
Thanks to the innovative functions that have been introduced, Masterys provides a solution that guarantees
and even improves the quality of the power supply upstream while also firmly limiting the interference caused
by the protected applications downstream.
To sum up, the advantages of low distortion absorption are as follows:

¾ Reduction in effects on the voltage harmonic distortion


¾ Reduction in the value of the absorbed neutral current
¾ Reduction in the effective value of the absorbed harmonic current
¾ Reduction in the overall effective value of the absorbed current (as a consequence of the reduction
in harmonic current)
¾ Reduction in the Crest Factor (relationship between the crest value and the effective value) of the
absorbed current
¾ Improvement in the Power Factor

The table below shows a qualitative comparison of the solutions currently on the market for the reduction of
harmonic distortion:

7.5 Innovative cooling system

MASTERYS™ offers an innovative multi-zone cooling system that guarantees separation into different
MASTERYS

sections within the UPS, using cooling and segregation techniques to prevent the transmission of the flow of
warm air from one zone to the other.
The zone with the greatest development of heat is the one comprising the power modules (six-pack IGBT
and other semiconductors) and the magnetic components but, by means of high efficiency dissipators and
controlled speed fans, a considerable reduction in required space can be achieved and optimal heat
discharge developed.
The remaining zones (boards, protection mechanisms, electromechanical devices and condensers) are
suitably separated from the zone having the greatest development of heat and directly benefit from the
natural airflow which comes in from the front.
Special attention has been given to the battery compartment where a specific separation ensures that
thermal effects cannot shorten the life of the accumulators; the temperature value is constantly monitored by
the Expert Battery System and the charge voltage level and related modes are adjusted.

connecting up to 6 units in “horizontal” parallel.
• Separate auxiliary mains: Masterys by-pass line can be powered from a separate energy source to
ensure a "safe" power supply in the event of an overload. The 3/1 models are generally supplied with
this feature as standard, and it can be requested as an option on the other models.

• Input or Output transformer: the galvanic isolation transformer can be requested as an option in
models BC-MC-EB. It is generally used to vary the distribution rate according to system requirements
(IT system) or for immunity from electromagnetic phenomena (TN system). Since the IP family has been
specifically designed for industrial applications, an internal isolation transformer is supplied as standard
and can be connected to the UPS input or output.
• Isolation controller: In combination with the isolation transformer, MASTERYS™ can be equipped with
a device to control isolation towards earth and thus to indicate any losses in isolation of the system.

• The remote mimic panel shows all available information,


allowing full remote monitoring of the UPS, up to a maximum
of 100 m. The language can be selected from the 14 available:
Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese,

application is normally at departmental level for the automatic shutdown of systems and the safe
management of the UPSs protecting servers and workstations.
The compatibility whit various OS is made by JRE (Java Runtime Engine)

Main functions
- Graphic UPS supervision via web browser
- Local shutdown of the server where Uni Vision Pro is running
- Remote shutdown by means of optional proxy agent or Java & .Net Shutdown Client
- Fault notification via e-mail to up to 8 addresses

It is usually adopted in networks of medium size and complexity (1 server and 5-20 workstations), when the
server is physically near to the UPS.
NET VISION is the solution for management of the UPS connected directly to the local network.
It is usually adopted in networks of medium/large size and complexity and in multi-server environments at
enterprise level where the IT manager centrally manages all the network resources. The physical position of
the UPS is not important.

Main functions
- 10/100Mb Ethernet connection (RJ45)
- Graphic UPS supervision via web browser
- Remote shutdown of up to 40 computers
- Fault notification via e-mail to up to 8 addresses
- UPS management by means of SNMP protocol (RFC 1628 MIB compliant)
- Diagnostics via internet with the T-Service.
- Ambient monitoring trought EMB (Enviromental Module Device)

The UPS behaves just like a network peripheral. It can be managed remotely and, in turn, can manage the
shutdown of the Servers/Workstations installed in the network.
Connection to the network via a normal RJ45 connector makes this software extremely flexible and easy to
use, thanks also to its HTML graphic interface.

Java & .Net Shutdown Client (JNC) is a SW tool, or programme, that can be installed on the various
computers in the network and which, once started and suitably configured, is in charge of shutting down the
computer it resides on without operator intervention in critical conditions during power supply from the UPS
(end of battery imminent, overload, etc.).
MASTERYS

Main features / functions:


- Use of standard TCP/IP network protocol
- Interface graphics for ease of configuration
- Minimal use of CPU resources
- Customization of parameters and shutdown script
- Continuous check of the efficiency of the connection with UPS

It is provided as an option and can be associated with communication products UNI VISION PRO or NET VISION.
Thanks to Java technology, it can be used on various operating systems in which a Java Runtime Environment is
installed. If installed in Windows platforms it becomes very simple and efficient thanks to .Net technology. This interprets
and converts instructions into suitable commands to be executed directly by the O.S.

9. Installation and protection requirements

The mains connection and that of the applications must be made using cables of the appropriate section and
which are compliant with the currently applicable regulations. An electrical panel must be provided (if there is
none present) so that the mains can be isolated upstream of the UPS. This electrical panel must have an
automatic switch (or two if there is a separate by-pass line) of sufficient capacity for the current absorbed at
full load, and also a differential switch.
The earth leakage current varies according to the size of the UPS so the installation engineer must correctly
size the differential protection upstream of the UPS using a selective model (insensitive to transients).
It should be taken into consideration that any leakage currents of applications downstream are added to
those of the UPS and that in the transitory phases (no power from mains and mains return) current peaks
may occur, though of brief duration. It is therefore recommended to calculate? the differential protection, if
necessary by applying 30mA protection devices downstream of the UPS on the lines to the applications.
It is in any case advisable to carry out a preliminary check of the earth leakage current with the continuous
power system installed and operating with the definitive load, in order to ensure that the above-mentioned
switches are not suddenly triggered.
In the event that installation of the external manual by-pass is required, the one supplied by the
manufacturer must be installed.
Refer to the family table for the suitable sizing of cables and protection devices.

(*) Absorption in by-pass mode is of the single-phase type. The nominal current of neutral and phase
common to the by-pass are therefore three times the current absorbed by the rectifier in normal operation
(**) In the case of single-phase non-linear loads connected downstream of the UPS, the current on the
neutral can be 1.5 - 2 times higher than the phase current during operation from the by-pass. This is due to
the current harmonic distortion introduced by the load itself, which is no longer corrected by the UPS rectifier
as in normal operation.

(**) In the case of single-phase non-linear loads connected downstream of the UPS, the current on the
neutral can be 1.5 - 2 times higher than the phase current during operation from the by-pass. This is due to
the current harmonic distortion introduced by the load itself, which is no longer corrected by the UPS rectifier
as in normal operation.

11. Selectivity in low voltage systems
MASTERYS

Definitions:

Total selectivity: selectivity is guaranteed for any type of fault (overload, short circuit, earth fault) and for
any over-current value between the trigger threshold of the device furthest downstream and the estimated
short circuit current at the point of installation of the device furthest upstream.

Partial selectivity: selectivity is guaranteed up to a certain over current limit (selectivity current limit).

SELECTIVITY IN OVERLOAD

For protection device trigger times of a few hours to a few seconds (over currents up to 6-8 times the
nominal current), coordination of the protection devices is quite simple; basically the current - time curves of
the protection devices must never cross.

SELECTIVITY IN SHORT CIRCUIT

The protection devices must trigger in a few milliseconds to avoid burning of the cables considering the high
currents in the event of a short circuit. For these trigger times, the considerations made on the criteria of the
protection devices with regard to the current - time curves (in the event of an overload) no longer apply
because the curves are no longer legible for such low times.
The selectivity sizing in this case must be made on the basis of the limitation curves of the joule integral of
the protection devices.
In practice, for a determined estimated short circuit current value, the device furthest upstream must let more
A2s pass than the device downstream would let pass.

SELECTIVITY IN SHORT CIRCUIT WITH UPS

58
In the event of a short circuit of one of the loads connected downstream of the UPS, two cases are to be
considered:

MASTERYS
ƒ The by-pass power supply upstream of the UPS is available:

For a short circuit in output, the UPS will immediately transfer the load onto the by-pass; the by-pass
magneto thermal protection MCB2 and the output protection device protecting the line of the load that has
short circuited (MCB3) are thus in series (the short circuit is marked by a broken line in the figure). For
correct coordination, the output switch (MCB3) must open before the general input switch (MCB2). The
maximum energy allowed to pass by MCB3 must therefore be lower than the maximum energy that MCB2
allows to pass (at the expected value of the short circuit current):

I2tMCB-3<I2tMCB-2

The selectivity between the by-pass input magneto thermal switch and the maximum energy that can be
supported by the by-pass SCRs (245000A2s in the example) at the expected short circuit (line) current
(3000A in the example) must also be verified, that is:

I2tSCR>I2tMCB-2

ƒ The by-pass power supply upstream of the UPS is not available:

As the load cannot be transferred onto the by-pass (since this is not available), the short circuit must be fully
supported by the UPS inverter. It must be verified that the distribution downstream opens before the
electronic trigger of the UPS protection. As an example (in the figure the short circuit is shown by a dotted
line), the three-phase short circuit current from battery of a 277A Masterys is considered as lasting for a max
time of 100ms (square waveform).
The short circuit energy in output provided by the UPS equals at most:

I2tUPS= 277x277x100ms= 7672 A2s

At the short circuit current value, which in this case is not expected but known and coincides with the UPS
short circuit current value (277A in the example), for correct selectivity it must be verified that:

I2tMCB-3<I2tUPS

This second case (short circuit without upstream mains) is however highly unlikely. The lack of mains
upstream, in fact, presupposes that there has been a failure, and it is unlikely that a second failure (short
circuit in output) would occur in the usually short period of mains failure. In general, this period coincides with
the time that power is supplied from the battery (if the stand-by mains and the rectifier do not have separate
power supplies) or with the average operator intervention time to repair the fault (if the UPS rectifier and the
by-pass have two different mains power supplies, as in this example).

STANDARDS for systems and installation

The UPS inserted in the system does not change the neutral arrangements; this is due to the fact that the
neutral input terminal “N” is directly connected to the output terminal “N1” inside the device. If the neutral
arrangements of the system downstream of the UPS need to be changed, the IP version must be installed,
or the isolation transformer option used.

The above-mentioned standards are with reference to the product (UPS) and are thus those which the UPS
manufacturer must follow. When the UPS is inserted in a system, the installation engineer must refer to the
regulations applicable in the specific electrical installation (e.g. EN 60364).
