Deep Discharge
Lead Acid Battery cycle life is limited to less than 150 deep
discharge cycles (The more you discharge the battery the quicker it
will reach the end of life)
Discharge below 1.8 volts per cell can permanently damage lead
acid batteries
z Battery will sulfate causing higher internal resistance and lower
capacity
z Severe deep discharge for extended periods of time can cause
internal short circuit failure
For short durations, the end of discharge voltage may be as follows,
if the discharge is followed by an immediate recharge:

Float adjustment
Float current demand in specification apply
when the electrolyte temperature is 77F
(25C). The value will double for every 15F
(8C) of temperature rise. If temperature drops,
the current value will be halved for every 15F
(8C) decrease. Some battery float current
demand will increase with aging.

I. INTRODUCTION
Historically, UPS distribution systems have been copied
from one project to the next. Within this industry, the practice
or paradigm has been "This is the way we've always done it".
Typically, time-current curves have not been produced to
determine if the UPS distribution system is selective, or if a
downstream 120 V panelboard feeder fault may trip the
upstream main breaker. It has not been industry practice to
review the time-current relationship of 120 V UPS systems,
including the Alternate Source power supply at the 480 V
MCC. This is somewhat ironic because the UPS system
powers critical process loads, such as, DCS, PLC, critical
process alarms, safety interlock and/or shutdown systems,
advanced process control computers, custody transfer
flowmeters, process stream analyzers, gas detection

XII. CONCLUSIONS
Application engineers must thoroughly understand
critical UPS distribution system design. By having a better
understanding of UPS load and system protective devices,
system response is better understood and system
limitations are known early in the project. Time-current
curves should be produced as the graphical argument for
confirming selectivity between protective devices. When
selectivity is achieved by test from a fuse or circuit breaker
manufacturer, an explanation should be provided.
It is important to understanding and classify voltage
depression and voltage restoration times and the degree of
selectivity achieved between protective devices.
This
defines process loads that are protected from prolonged
voltage collapse during fault conditions, and enhances
petrochemical plant process reliability and safety for
operators, engineers and office personnel. The findings of
this paper indicate that fuses may enable DCS, some
PLCs, protective relays, and critical instrumentation to
operate continuously during UPS distribution system faults.
Because a very limited sample of operating equipment is
included in this paper, it is imperative that a separate
analysis is performed by each application engineer for the
specific plant process equipment.
This paper provides general guideline topics for
consideration during UPS distribution system design and
implementation. The authors have made assumptions for
the equipment, devices, and UPS systems considered in the
UPS distribution system examples of Figs. 2 and 3, and
corresponding appendices. These assumptions may not be
applicable for each specific application. For example, one
such assumption is that system fault conditions result in
UPS system output current and voltage exceeding static
switch transfer setpoints (or threshold), hence, the static
switch will transfer to the alternate source and increased
fault tripping current will occur. This may not be true for all
UPS systems and UPS distribution systems when limited
fault conditions exist. Consequently, each UPS and UPS
distribution system must be thoroughly evaluated for the
specific equipment, devices, and configuration implemented.

GENERAL APPLICATION GUIDELINE SUMMARY
To avoid overloading UPS systems, the UPS loads should be reviewed when additional UPS loads are anticipated.
2.
Segregate panel loads. Connect non-UPS loads to General Purpose panels. Connect critical process loads to UPS
distribution system panels.
3.
Panelboard and circuit breaker or fuse ratings should be compared with the short-circuit current supplied by the Alternate
Source.
4.
Use the ITI curve as a benchmark for computer business equipment operation during both steady-state and transient
conditions.
5.
Review DCS, PLC, protection relays, and critical instrumentation loads voltage drop/voltage restoration limits to confirm the
installed equipment can tolerate, without interruption, UPS system short-circuit transients.
6.
To confirm successful transfer operation, UPS static switch timing and triggering parameters should be reviewed.
7.
When applicable, single-phase UPS systems should be specified, because single-phase UPS systems provide more shortcircuit current than equivalent kVA three-phase systems. However, when critical systems require redundant DCS, PLC, and
SIS power supplies and only one UPS system is provided, a three-phase UPS system configuration may be considered.
8.
Ferroresonant type inverters generally have a greater initial short-circuit current contribution during the first 0.25 to 1.0 cycles.
This may assist in downstream fuse interruption, and transfer to the Alternate Source may not be required.
9.
UPS manufacturers recommend fast-acting current-limiting fuses for the UPS distribution system because fast fault current
interruption is provided. Consequently, instrument panels should be the fuse type, not the circuit breaker type.
10. If adequate fault current is available and can be sensed by the fuse, fast-acting fuses may minimize Static Switch transfer to
the Alternate Source.
11. UPS internal fuse/circuit breaker configurations vary, and the specifics must be confirmed with each manufacturer. Also, the
manufacturer should confirm the Alternate Source fault magnitude does not exceed the UPS Alternate Source rating
capabilities.
12. When the UPS internal fuses are the single-element current-limiting type, factory fault testing in combination with upstream
and downstream dual-element fuses may be required to determine if the internal fuse is selective with the dual-element
fuses. This contingency should be included in the UPS specification.
13. Fuse sizes should be minimized. As an example, if a 3 A fuse is adequate a 15 A fuse should not be used.
14. Typically, fuse selectivity is achieved by using a fuse selectivity ratio tables. Fuses should be from the same manufacturer
since the fuse selectivity tables are obtained by test.
15. When single-phase UPS systems are implemented, the 480V MCC data sheet shall specify a single-phase or three-phase
fused switch for the feeder cable powering the Alternate Source isolation transformer.
16. When 120 V remote skid-mounted loads are powered from UPS system instrument panels provide special attention to the
reduced fault current magnitude. Increased cable sizes may be required to assure selective fault clearing for a local
instrument panel, avoiding an extended voltage collapse and loss of panel loads.
17. To increase Alternate Source short-circuit current, the Alternate Source step-down isolation transformer kVA rating could be
increased without increasing impedance and X/R parameters.
18. The Alternate Source transformer should be the shielded, isolation type. Because of the current-limitingcharacteristics,
ferroresonant transformers should be used in the Alternate Source only after thorough investigation.
19. For enhanced system reliability, the Alternate Source should be powered from a separate upstream source. As a minimum,
the UPS Normal Source input power and Alternate Source should not be supplied from the same 480 V MCC.

2) Fig. C-1 shows the lack of selectivity when the 480 V
MCC Alternate Source feeder breaker is not replaced with
fuses.
3) Fuses should be selected from the fuse selectivity
ratios table(s) from one manufacturer.
4) Fuse selectivity tables are by test. Using cascaded
fuses from different manufacturers may not be selective
because the fuses have not been tested as a system.
5) When fuse systems are implemented according to
fuse selectivity ratio tables, time-current curves are not
necessary because the fuse manufacturer has confirmed
selectivity by test.
6) When fuses and circuit breakers are cascaded
throughout the UPS distribution system, selectivity cannot be
confirmed.
Hence, the UPS manufacturer could be
requested to replace the circuit breaker protecting the Static
Switch with a dual-element fuse. The replacement fuse
should be from the same manufacturer as the other UPS
distribution system fuses. This may impact UPS certification
standards and warranty; consequently, the end-user must
obtain warranty complicity from the UPS manufacturer to
include this matter.
7) If the UPS manufacturer provides a single-element
(short-circuit only protection) current-limiting fuse, testing of
the single-element current-limiting fuse with downstream and
upstream dual-element (overload and short-circuit protection)
fuses is typically necessary to confirm selectivity between
devices. Testing is required for single-element and dualelement fuses because fuse selectivity tables are typically
based on dual-element fuses. This approach is applicable,
even if the same fuse manufacturer supplies the dualelement and single-element fuses. The UPS specification
should include a statement requesting a separate line item
price for dual-element/single-element fuse testing with the
end-user providing the fault current parameters.
