Central safety power supply systems

This European Standard specifies the general requirements for central power supply systems for an independent energy supply to essential safety equipment. This standard covers systems that are permanently connected to AC supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V and use batteries as an alternative power source.
Central safety power supply systems are intended to ensure energy supply to emergency escape lighting in the event of normal supply failure and may be suitable for energising other essential safety equipment, for example:
- electric circuits of automatic fire extinguishing installations;
- paging systems and signalling safety installations;
- smoke extraction equipment;
- carbon monoxide warning systems;
- special safety installations related to specific buildings, e.g. high-risk areas.
The power supply of CPS should be dedicated only to the essential safety equipment, and not for other typeof loads such as general purpose IT or industrial systems etc.
Combinations of the aforementioned safety equipment types and / or non-safety equipment loads are permitted together on the same central safety power supply system providing the availability for safety equipment loads is not impaired. A fault occurring in a circuit should not cause the interruption in any other circuit used to supply safety equipment.
Schematic representations of typical central safety power supply equipment are depicted in Clause 4.
Power supply systems for fire alarm equipment that are covered by EN 54 (series) are excluded.

Systèmes d'alimentation de sécurité à source centrale

Le présent document définit les exigences générales relatives aux systèmes d'alimentation à source centrale des équipements spécifiques de sécurité. Le présent document couvre les systèmes connectés en permanence aux sources de courant alternatif dont la tension ne dépasse pas 1 000 V et qui utilisent comme source d’alimentation alternative des batteries. Les systèmes d'alimentation de sécurité à source centrale sont destinés à alimenter l'éclairage de sécurité en cas de défaillance de l'alimentation normale et peuvent être adaptés à l'alimentation d'autres équipements spécifiques de sécurité, par exemple: — circuits électriques des installations automatiques pour l'extinction des incendies; — systèmes de messagerie et installations de signalisation de sécurité; — matériel de désenfumage; — systèmes de détection du monoxyde de carbone; — installations de sécurité spécifiques à certains bâtiments, par exemple zones à haut risque. Il est prévu de réserver l’alimentation des systèmes ASC uniquement aux équipements spécifiques de sécurité, et non aux autres types de charges tels que les technologies TI à usage général ou les systèmes industriels, etc. Les types d’équipements de sécurité susmentionnés peuvent être combinés sur le même système d’alimentation de sécurité à source centrale à condition de ne pas compromettre la disponibilité des charges d’équipements de sécurité. Il est prévu qu’un défaut constaté dans un circuit ne provoque pas l’interruption de tout autre circuit utilisé pour alimenter des équipements spécifiques de sécurité. Des représentations, sous forme de schémas, d’équipements typiques d'alimentation de sécurité à source centrale figurent à l’Article 4. Les systèmes d’alimentation des systèmes d’alarme incendie couverts par l’EN 54 (série) sont exclus.

227 4 Operating modes of central safety power supply systems
228 4.1 General provisions

229 In order to comply with the different operating requirements of the essential safety equipment, various types

230 of central safety power supply systems are necessary.

231 This clause describes the basic modes of operation of central safety power supply systems and their

232 essential characteristics.

233 In general, two different modes of power supply are defined, the changeover mode and the mode without

234 interruption. The main difference is the response (changeover) time. In changeover mode, the response time

235 shall be no more than 0,5 s whereas, in the mode without interruption, the supply is permanent so, naturally,

236 there is no response time.

237 The load, the level of discharge and the capacity of the battery determine the rated operating time in the

238 case of a power failure. For application cases where the load requires an AC supply, an inverter shall be

239 used. For application cases where a DC supply is required, a direct current adjusted to the load shall be

240 supplied.
241 4.2 Changeover mode

242 In the changeover mode, the essential safety equipment shall be fed directly by normal supply (see

243 Figure 1). When the load voltage differs from the normal supply voltage, an isolating transformer shall be

244 used for supply matching. In the event of a mains power failure, the voltage monitor in the automatic transfer

245 switching device (ATSD) shall transfer the supply to the battery. A controlled battery charger shall be

246 provided for charging and float charging of the battery.
247
248 Figure 1
249 4.3 Mode without interruption

250 When in the mode without interruption, the battery charger shall be able to energize the essential safety

251 equipment and to ensure the charging and/or float charging of the battery (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).

prEN 50171:2019 (E)
252
253 Figure 2
254
255 Figure 3

256 In the event of mains failure the battery shall take over the power supply to load without interruption, and the

257 battery shall be adequately rated to maintain the output voltage within limits compatible with the safety

258 equipment connected to the load.

259 4.4 Changeover mode with an additional control switching device for central switching of

260 the load

261 In addition to the devices detailed in 4.2, the equipment includes a control switch device(s) (CSD) which is

262 (are) activated automatically or manually and is (are) dependent upon normal supply being available. For

263 this, it shall be ensured that the emergency power supply is effective throughout the time required for

264 operation. (See Figure 4.)

265 A number of control switch devices may be used to switch sections of the load.

266
267 Figure 4

268 4.5 Changeover mode with additional control switching device for partial switching of the

269 load

270 In addition to the devices detailed in 4.2, the equipment includes a control switching device for the section-

271 wise switching of the loads which is activated by the normal supply (see 4.4).

272 However, deviating from the design specified in 4.4, part of the load is energised continuously (see Figure 5).

274 Figure 5
275 4.6 Non-maintained changeover mode

276 In this case, the essential safety equipment is energised only in the event of normal supply failure. Differing

277 from the system defined in 4.3, a control switch device or several control switch devices is (are) used

278 additionally (see Figure 6)
279
280 Figure 6

281 4.7 Mode without interruption with an additional control switching device for central

283 In addition to the devices detailed in 4.3 the equipment includes a control switch device(s) (CSD) which is

284 manually activated or by the normal supply, in order to divide the loads on one part continuously energized

285 and a another part which can be disconnected.

290 systems

291 Systems shall be suitable for use under at least the following conditions. Deviations from these conditions

292 shall be agreed on between user and manufacturer.

293 a) The system shall be designed for a rated supply voltage as specified in Table 1 of EN 60038:2011 and

294 for a maximum static voltage deviation of ± 10 %.

295 b) The system shall be designed for a maximum frequency deviation of the supply voltage of ± 4 %.
