UPS Data

Uniquely identifies the equipment item. The program automatically assigns a name, but you can change it, if needed. The name can be up to 16 characters long.

For uninterrupted power supplies, the program automatically assigns the names UPS-1, UPS-2, UPS-3, and so on.

The ID name of the bus connected to the input branch. The bus voltage determines the input voltage rating of the UPS.

The ID name of the bus connected to the output branch. The bus voltage determines the output voltage rating of the UPS.

• ANSI: Short circuit contribution at 1/2 cycle (momentary).
• IEC: Short circuit contribution for initial current.

The value is entered as a multiple of the kVA rating.

Example: A 500kVA/0.48kV UPS has a momentary short circuit contribution of 3000Amps. The short circuit capability in multiples of kVA rating is 4.988 (~5.0). [ multiple = sqrt(3)*3kA*0.48kV/500kVA.]

• ANSI: Short circuit contribution at 5 cycles.
• IEC: Short circuit contribution for breaking current.

The default is Linear, indicating the equipment does not produce harmonics. Choosing Harmonic makes the item an harmonic source and makes other fields in this tab available to edit.

Note: For an adjustable frequency drive (AFD), the Load Type is always Harmonic.
For motors, the Load Type is Harmonic if the With Adjustable Frequency Drive (AFD) check box is selected on the Specifications tab of the motor; otherwise, it is always Linear.

Use to set the fundamental amps. The options are as follows:

• Equipment Rating sets Fundm Amps to the equipment rating of the item described in the Specifications tab. 
• User Specified activates the Fundm Amps field, enabling you to specify a value. 

To use fundamental current calculated by power flow, select Calculated from Power Flow in the Summation Fundamental Voltage area of the Harmonics Options > Control dialog box.

Use the spreadsheet to enter the harmonic spectrum produced by this item. You can enter up to 30 different harmonics in each equipment item. In the spreadsheet, enter the Harmonic Number (such as 5 for the 5^th harmonic), the Harmonic Current in percent of the Fundamental Amps, and the Current Angle. By indicating the current angle, you can simulate transformer phase shift effects on rectifiers so appropriate canceling can take place. The harmonic may be integer or non-integer.

Common harmonic spectra may be entered from the device library. For instructions on how to enter your own spectra information, see Harmonics with Spectrum™. After selecting a particular device library spectrum from the Mfr and Type lists, click Import, and that spectrum is entered into the harmonic spreadsheet.
