Battery Mid-point Monitoring Option (SC200 only)

Battery Mid-point Monitoring provides a cost-effective method for the early detection of
internal battery faults. The voltages of the two halves of a battery string are measured and the
system controller generates an alarm signal if a voltage imbalance is detected.
A voltage imbalance is an indication that one or more cells has an internal fault. Further
investigation can then isolate the faulty cell(s) and action can be taken to correct the problem
and prevent a total battery failure.
To connect the Battery Mid-point Monitoring option see details on page 27. If a String Fail
alarm is generated see Troubleshooting on page 50.
To ensure reliable operation Mid-point Monitoring operates only when the battery is in float
charge and after a configurable lockout period since the last battery discharge, Fast Charge,
Equalize or Battery Test.

Warnings
This section contains important warnings. Read these warnings before installing or operating
an Eaton Access Power Solutions dc power system.
I
Electrical Safety
• Access Power Solutions (APS3-300 Series) dc power systems must be mounted in an enclosed
cabinet that meets safety and fire enclosure requirements as specified in AS/NZS 60950.1 and
EN 60950-1.
• The dc power system may be powered from multiple ac sources. All ac sources must be
isolated before internally servicing the equipment.
• The dc power system MCBs are not a disconnect device. The APS dc power system must be
connected to a suitable upstream ac supply disconnect device such as Miniature Circuit
Breaker(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 V90 rated cable must be used for all connections.
• The dc power system is not compatible with IT (Impedance Terra) ac power distribution
topologies. For advice see Worldwide Support on page 103.
• A registered electrician (or suitably qualified person) must check the integrity of the installed
cabling, 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 on
page 25.
• Dust build-up within the dc power system may cause premature failure. In dusty
environments filter 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 objects
containing liquid on top of or near the unit.
• Flooded cell and VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed with
adequate ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for advice on minimum
ventilation levels.
Reverse Polarity
• Always check that the battery cables have been terminated to the correct system polarity
BEFORE connecting the batteries or closing the battery disconnect device. Connecting batteries
to the dc power system with incorrect system polarity will damage the rectifiers and void all
warranty claims.
Hazardous Energy Levels

• Rectifiers and batteries contain hazardous energy levels. Only personnel trained and
experienced in dc power systems are to service/maintain this equipment.
• Always use insulated tools.
• Do not short-circuit the live and common bus bars or cables.

12 IPN 997-00012-48C November 2009
Preparation
Batteries
• The plastic cases of batteries installed in Eaton dc power system racks must have a
flammability rating of UL 94-V2 or better.
• Flooded cell and VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed with
adequate ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for advice on minimum
ventilation levels.
• Do not wear a synthetic dust-coat or overalls. Synthetic fabrics can hold static electric charges
that create sparks during discharge.
• Remove rings, wristwatch and other metal jewelry that might be exposed to battery terminals,
before installing batteries.
• Batteries are powerful sources of energy and present a potential electrical shock and energy
hazard. The energy hazard is always present, even if the batteries are not connected. Avoid
short circuiting terminals of opposite polarity.
• Always use insulated tools.
• Do not place tools, loose cables or metal objects (such as interconnecting bars) on top of
batteries.
• Do not drop tools, loose cables or metal objects onto intercell connections or terminals of
opposite polarity.
• Only terminate cables and interconnecting bars after confirming that the termination will not
create a short circuit.
• Always tighten battery terminal bolts according to the battery manufacturer’s specification.
Failing to do so can cause erratic battery performance, possible damage to the battery, and/or
personal injury.
• There is a risk of electric shock if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
• Dispose of batteries according to the instructions on page 65.
Rectifiers
• Only operate the rectifiers when the surrounding area is clean and dust free.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock and maintain optimum system cooling, always cover empty
rectifier slots with blanking panels.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not place hands inside the rectifier magazine.
• Rectifier cases may exceed 100ºC (212ºF), especially after prolonged operation. Use suitable
gloves when removing a rectifier from the magazine.
• Do not attempt to disassemble faulty rectifiers. Return them (in their original packaging) with a
completed Equipment Incident Report on page 101.
• Ensure that any upstream Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are appropriately rated for the
rectifiers' maximum earth leakage current (see Specifications on page 71 for value).
DC Distribution(s)
• The dc common bus of the dc power system can be connected to earth (ground). If this
connection is made all of the following conditions must be met:
• Your equipment and the dc power system must be located within the same premises.
• No switching or disconnecting devices are allowed in the conductor between the dc
common line and the point of connection to the earth electrode conductor.
See Connecting the Output to Earth on page 19 for further information.
• For installations in the United States, Listed compression connectors must be used to terminate
Listed field-wired conductors where required. For all installations, use the appropriate
connector for the conductor size as specified by the connector manufacturer. And use only the
connector manufacturer's recommended tooling or tooling approved for that connector.
• Follow all applicable local and national rules and regulations when making field connections.
• Tighten all electrical connections to the torques stated in this guide or on the manufacturer's
label.

IPN 997-00012-48C November 2009
13

1 Check the type of ac supply. Only the types of ac supply listed in Task 3 on
page 22 are suitable for the APS.
Only use a two-phase or three-phase (L-L) ac supply if referenced to earth, or a
protection system is in place so that the phase-earth voltage cannot exceed the
rating of the rectifier.
2 Check that the APS will be connected to a suitable upstream ac disconnect
device such as Miniature Circuit Breaker(s) (MCB) or fuses.
3 Check the disconnect device will isolate both the phase and neutral conductors
in single-phase and three-phase connections, unless the neutral conductor is
clearly identified.
4 Check that any Residual Current Devices (RCD) upstream of the APS are rated
for the maximum earth leakage current of the rectifiers. If necessary, install
higher rated RCD(s).
The maximum earth leakage current of Access Power Rectifiers is given in the
Specifications on page 71.

IPN 997-00012-48C November 2009

Step 4 - Check ac discrimination
Each rectifier has two internal fast-acting fuses. Under certain internal fault
conditions these fuses will blow.
If there is insufficient discrimination between these fuses and any upstream ac
supply-disconnect device then the upstream ac supply-disconnect device will
operate before a rectifier fuse blows. This will disconnect the ac supply to all
rectifiers.
1 Check the time-current (tripping) curve(s) of all ac supply-disconnect device(s)
upstream of the APS with the following curve for the rectifier fuses.
Refer to the manufacturer's data for tripping curves.
Time-Current Curve
(minimum and
maximum) for APR-3G
internal fuses (IEC
60127-2).
Source: Schurter SP 5x20

Pigtail data sheet.
2 No action is required if the time-current curves of the upstream ac supply-

disconnect devices are entirely to the right of the curves for the rectifier fuses.
3 If the curve of an upstream ac supply-disconnect device crosses the curve for
the rectifier fuse there may not be adequate discrimination.
If necessary, replace the upstream ac supply-disconnect device to achieve
adequate discrimination. Or, contact your Eaton dc product supplier for advice
(see Worldwide Support on page 103).

Replacing or Adding a Rectifier

Rectifiers can be replaced without switching off the dc power system and disconnecting the
equipment it powers.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock and maintain optimum system cooling, always cover
I
empty rectifier slots with blanking panels.
• To avoid electric shock do not place hands inside the rectifier shelf.
• Do not attempt to disassemble faulty rectifiers. Return them (in their original
packaging) with a completed Equipment Incident Report on page 101.
Removing a Rectifier
Step 1 - Undo the rectifier retaining screw
This will release the rectifier from its rear connector.
Step 2 - Pull out the rectifier
• The rectifier may be hot, especially after prolonged operation. Use suitable
gloves.
• To avoid damage do not rest the rectifier on its connector.
Step 3 - Replace rectifier or fit blank panel
Insert a replacement rectifier into the empty slot (see details in following section), or
fit a blank panel.

Procedure complete
Replacing the System Controller

The SC200 or SC100 system controller can be replaced without switching off the dc power
system and disconnecting the equipment it powers.
Before you start you will require:
• A PC/Laptop with DCTools* connected to the system controller or (SC200 only) a web
browser* connected to the system controller via an IP network.
*See Communications Options in the System Controller Operation Handbook.
• A replacement SC200 or SC100 system controller.
A new system controller is factory loaded with a 48V (nominal) default configuration file.
DCTools/Web (SC200 only) can be used to modify the configuration file already loaded in a
system controller. However, a system controller configured for a particular nominal system
voltage (48V or 24V) can only be converted to the other nominal system voltage by loading
a new configuration file.
• A copy of the appropriate configuration file, either:
• use the configuration file saved from the existing system controller, or
• contact your Eaton dc power system supplier to obtain a master configuration file to
suit the dc power system. This file will have to be customized for the site.
Step 1 - Backup the configuration file of the old SC200 or SC100 if possible
If the old system controller is still operational use DCTools/Web to backup its

Step 5 - Check the system controller operation
1 Map the I/O board (SC200 only):

• In DCTools/Web go to: RXP.
• Copy the I/O board serial number(s) from the RXP Devices table to the I/O
Board to Serial Number Mapping table to map an IOB Number to each I/O
board (overwrite an existing serial number if required).
If multiple SiteSure-3G modules are connected use the I/O board Identify
function to physically identify each module. See details in the System Controller
Operation Handbook.
2 Check that the system controller has registered all rectifiers.
3 Check all control processes, alarms and current measurement(s).
4 Check the power system identification parameters and communications
settings.
5 Change the configuration file as required to ensure that the system controller
operates as intended.
6 Check the system controller time (SC200 only). See details in the System

Appendix E
Transient Protection

A p p e n d i x E
To prevent damage to Eaton Access Power Solutions from lightning and transient over-
voltages, structural lightning protection and transient protection must be installed at each
site.
Transient protection will also protect against other sources of transients, such as:
• Circuit or grid switching by the power company
• Electrical switching of large inductive loads (such as motors, transformers, and electrical
drives) or capacitive loads (such as power factor correction) or manufacturing
equipment.
Use a suitably qualified consultant to develop a transient protection plan (compliant with IEC
61643-12) for the equipment to be installed at the site. The transient protection plan and
associated installation must:
1 Capture the lightning strike at a known and preferred point outside the building
2 Conduct the main lightning energy safely to earth
3 Dissipate the lightning energy into a low impedance earthing system
4 Eliminate earth potential differences inside the building
5 Protect the ac supply using a coordinated transient voltage surge suppression plan, that
includes:
• Primary surge protection
• Secondary surge protection
• Primary / secondary surge decoupling coils
• Secondary / tertiary surge decoupling coils
6 Protect the data and control lines using a coordinated transient voltage surge
suppression plan
Earthing (Grounding)
The most important aspect of any power system installation at a site is the integrity of the
earthing systems. Effective earthing will significantly increase site protection. Most sites have
a number of earthing systems such as:
• AC Power earth
• DC Power earth
• Tower / building lightning protection earth
For optimum protection, all earths must be brought together at one "star" point. Otherwise,
surge currents can flow within the system creating large voltages. These can cause damage to
equipment that does not normally require surge protection, such as rectifier outputs and
communications interfaces.
If there is a tower on the site then use the tower earth as the "star" point. This is because it
conducts the majority of the surge to earth, especially if the site is lightning-prone. For other
sites, a 'direct-lightning' earth will not be available therefore a structural or power system
earth will be used. In multi-floor buildings, always try to use structural earths if the common
earth point cannot be found at ground level. For basements / single floor buildings, the ac
supply earth is usually the most appropriate.

IPN 997-00012-48C November 2009
83
Primary Transient Protection

Primary transient protection must be considered at all sites. Eaton recommends, primary
transient protection on the incoming ac supply either at the main ac switchboard or sub-
switchboard.
In the absence of sufficient information, primary transient protective devices with a
minimum repeat strike rating of 100kA (8/20μs wave shape) are recommended.
In addition, primary transient protection must be coordinated with downstream secondary
transient protection via suitably rated surge decoupling coils. These should have been
specified as part of the transient protection plan for the site. If no surge decoupling coils were
specified, then air-core 15μH surge decoupling coils are suitable.
Secondary Transient Protection

Secondary transient protection (downstream from the primary transient protection) must be
present at all sites to protect the dc power system from transients.
Some models of Access Power Solutions are factory-fitted with secondary transient
protection to protect the power system from a limited number of repeated 15kA transients
(8/20µs wave shape).
Factory-fitted secondary transient protection typically consist of:
• Phase-to-neutral metal oxide varistors (MOVs) with a voltage rating of 440V, capable of
withstanding temporary over-voltages
• A neutral-to-earth spark gap (gas discharge tube)
• Surge decoupling coils
If secondary transient protection is not fitted inside the Access Power Solutions, then external
secondary transient protection must be installed in the ac switchboard that supplies the dc
power system.
Carefully consider the residual voltage seen by the dc power system (maximum 6kV) and the
decoupling between the transient protection system and the dc power system. Transients
must be limited to less than 2kA.
Tertiary Transient Protection

Eaton rectifiers are fitted with 6kV/3kA transient protection. This is designed to protect the
rectifiers from voltage spikes generated during operation of the upstream transient protection
system. Do not install rectifiers without adequate upstream surge protection.

Transient protective devices are fitted with alarm contacts and visual indicators.
Monitor the status of all externally installed transient protective devices. Either:
• Regularly inspect the visual indicators
• Connect the alarm contacts to the MOV Fail termination on the I/O board (preferred
option) or to the building management system. See the Connections diagram on page 8
for location of MOV Fail termination (YH3) and connector pin-outs on page 79.
The alarm signal lines of the external transient protective devices must be isolated from the ac
supply (by voltage-free relay contacts) before connecting these signal lines to the APS dc power
system.

Appendix F
Earth Bonding

A p p e n d i x F
Earth Bonding
The earthing arrangement of your communications equipment determines how the dc

common bus of the dc power system is referenced to earth.
There are two options: ac and dc earths bonded, or ac and dc earths separated.
AC-dc Earth Linked (recommended)

During a lightning surge, very large voltages can develop between ac earth and dc common
bus as the surge current flows through the earth cables to earth.
Access Power Solutions dc power systems are factory fitted with an ac-dc earth link (see the
diagrams on page 22). This link prevents these very large voltages from developing and
protects the rectifiers from surge related damage.
If your installation uses a mesh earth, then Eaton recommends that this factory fitted ac-dc
earth link is retained. No further action is then required
However, if your policy is not to bond the ac and communications earth (no mesh earth),
then refer to the following instructions to isolate the ac and dc earths.
AC and DC Earth Isolated

Perform the following steps to isolate the ac and dc earths, and (if required) install a transient
protective device.
Step 1 - Disconnect dc common bar from ac earth
1 Remove the ac-dc earth link

screw.
2 Undo the screws securing the
dc common bar to the plastic
stand-offs.
3 Undo the bolt connecting the
common bar to the common
bus and remove the bar.
4 Use the earth link screw
(without the flat washer) to re-
attach the stand-off to the
chassis.
5 Refit the common bar. Tighten
the bolt and screws according
to the Standard Torque " ac-dc earth link screw
Settings on page 68. # Stand-off
$ dc common bar
% Common bus

IPN 997-00012-48C November 2009
87
Step 2 - Remove or replace the ac-dc Earth Link
Ignore this Step if the factory fitted ac-dc earth link is used.
There are two options if the ac-dc earth link cannot be retained. Either:
• If the site surge protection is designed to limit transient ac earth - dc earth
voltages to less than 1500V at the dc power system, then remove the ac-dc earth
link as in Step 1. No further action is required..
" APS chassis
# AC earth link
$ DC earth / communications earth
% DC common bus
• Or, if the site surge protection is not designed to limit transient ac earth - dc
earth voltages to less than 1500V at the dc power system, then replace the ac-dc
earth link with a surge protection device.
The surge protection device bonds the ac and communications earths during
transient activity to prevent damage to the rectifiers. The preferred surge
protection device is a transient earth clamp (TEC).
" APS chassis
# AC earth link
$ DC earth / communications earth
% DC common bus
! Surge protection device (Transient earth

clamp)
The path between ac earth and dc common bus (via the surge protection device) must
be as short and straight as possible, preferably less than 500mm (20").
The transient earth clamp must have the following minimum specifications.
• Nom. dc Spark-over Voltage 600V
• Impulse Spark-over Voltage at 1 kV/μs < 1400V
• Nom. Impulse Discharge Current – 8/20μs wave shape 20kA
• Insulation Resistance at 100V ≥ 1010 Ω
• Capacitance < 1.5pF
A larger transient earth clamp with a high kA rating must be used if the potential
severity of a lightning strike is high.

Notes
1 When the rectifiers are turned off, the battery current will supply all the current to the
load. At this time the battery current will equal the load current.
This test assumes there is a current sensor on the dc Load Bus. If batteries are not
installed on the system, connect the load bank to the battery bus.
If the battery current is determined by a summation, conduct the load current test before
the battery current test.
2 The test should be done at the maximum expected system load current.
This test assumes there is a current sensor on the dc load bus.
3 As the analog inputs can be configured for many different types of analog signal, tests
have not been detailed on this test sheet.
User assigned analog inputs are not available on all systems.
