Uninterruptible power systems (UPS) -- Part 1: General and safety requirements for UPS

This part of IEC 62040 applies to uninterruptible power systems (UPS) with an electrical energy storage device in the d.c. link. It is used with IEC 60950-1, which is referred to in this standard as "RD" (reference document). NOTE UPS applications generally make use of a chemical battery as the energy storage device. Alternative devices may be suitable, and as such, where “battery” appears in the text of this standard, where applicable, this may be understood as “energy storage device”. When a clause is referred to by the phrase "The definitions or the provisions of item/RD apply", this phrase is intended to mean that the definitions or provisions in that clause of IEC 60950-1 apply, except any which are clearly inapplicable to uninterruptible power systems. National requirements additional to those in IEC 60950-1 apply and are found as notes under relevant clauses of the RD. The primary function of the UPS covered by this standard is to ensure continuity of an alternating power source. The UPS may also serve to improve the quality of the power source by keeping it within specified characteristics. This standard is applicable to UPS which are movable, stationary, fixed or for building-in, for use in low-voltage distribution systems and intended to be installed in any operator accessible area or in restricted access locations as applicable. It specifies requirements to ensure safety for the operator and layman who may come into contact with the equipment and, where specifically stated, for the service person. This standard is intended to ensure the safety of installed UPS, both as a single UPS unit or as a system of interconnected UPS units, subject to installing, operating and maintaining the UPS in the manner prescribed by the manufacturer. This standard does not cover UPS based on rotating machines. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements and definitions are given in IEC 62040-2.

Sistemi z neprekinjanim napajanjem (UPS) - 1. del: Splošne in varnostne zahteve za UPS

Ta del IEC 62040 se nanaša na sisteme neprekinjenega napajanja (UPS) z napravo za shranjevanje električne energije v enosmerni povezavi. Uporablja se z IEC 60950-1, ki je v tem standardu označen z »RD« (referenčni dokument). OPOMBA Aplikacije UPS za shranjevanje energije običajno uporabljajo kemične baterije. Uporabljajo se lahko tudi druge naprave. Ko se torej v besedilu tega standarda pojavi »baterija«, se ponekod to lahko razume kot »naprava za shranjevanje energije«. Ko smo na točko usmerjeni s frazo »Upoštevajo se definicije ali določbe elementa/RD«, ta fraza pomeni, da se upoštevajo definicije ali določbe v tej točki IEC 60950-1, razen takšnih, ki očitno ne veljajo za sisteme neprekinjenega napajanja. Upoštevajo se nacionalne zahteve poleg IEC 60950-1, najdete pa jih pod opombami pod ustreznimi točkami RD. Primarna funkcija sistemov neprekinjenega napajanja v okviru tega standarda je zagotavljanje neprekinjenega vira izmeničnega napajanja. Sistem neprekinjenega napajanja se lahko uporablja tudi za izboljšanje kakovosti napajanja, tako da ga ohranja v okviru določenih karakteristik. Ta standard se nanaša na sisteme neprekinjenega napajanja, ki so premični, stacionarni, fiksni ali namenjeni vgradnji, za uporabo v nizkonapetostnih razdelilnih sistemih in namenjeni vgradnji na katero koli mesto, ki je dostopno operaterjem ali na ustrezne lokacije z omejenim dostopom. Določa zahteve za zagotavljanje varnosti operaterja in nestrokovnjakov, ki pridejo v stik z opremo, in (če je to izrecno omenjeno) serviserjev. Ta standard zagotavlja varnost vgrajenih sistemov neprekinjenega napajanja tako kot samostojna enota sistema neprekinjenega napajanja ali kot sistem medsebojno povezanih enot sistema neprekinjenega napajanja, v skladu s smernicami za vgradnjo, upravljanje in vzdrževanje sistema neprekinjenega napajanja, ki jih je določil proizvajalec. Ta standard ne zajema sistema neprekinjenega napajanja, ki temelji na vrtečih se napravah. Zahteve in definicije za elektromagnetno združljivost (EMC) so podane v IEC 62040-2.

4.7.12 Protection in building installation
Add the following paragraphs at the beginning of 4.7.12:
The UPS manufacturer shall state, as applicable, the rated short-time withstand current,
(I ) or rated conditional short circuit current (I ). This current shall be equal to or higher
cw cc
than the I value stated in 5.5.4.3.1 (column 2 of Table 3).
cp
If an I value higher than that specified in Table 3 is stated, the following applies.
cp
a) If higher I stated ≤ 10 kA:
cp
the values corresponding to the next higher applicable line of Table 3 apply.
b) If higher I stated > 10 kA:
cp
values 16 kA, 20 kA, 25 kA, 35 kA, 50 kA, 65 kA, 85 kA, 100 kA are preferred and the
values corresponding to line 500 < I of Table 3 apply.
NOTE 1 Examples of Table 3 line values to be used when a higher I or I is stated.
cw cc
a) If a 50 A UPS is declared to sustain I = 8 kA (instead of 6 kA), use the values of line 75 < I < 400 in Table 3.
cw
b) If a 1 000 A UPS is declared to sustain I = 85 kA (instead of 20 × 1 000 = 20 kA), use the values of line
cw
500 < I in Table 3.
The installer can then verify that the prospective short-circuit current resulting at the a.c.
input terminals of the unit is equal to or less than the value declared by the UPS
manufacturer. Otherwise, subject to an agreement between the manufacturer and the user, a
solution shall be procured. Such a solution may consist in employing external current-limiting
overcurrent protectors or customizing the UPS accordingly.
Irrespective of the UPS being a single unit or a unit in a paralleled system, the prospective
short-circuit current of the a.c. in
