reliability to the load, in the future. This shall be possible by simple means „on-site‟, without the
need for any elaborate factory interventions or modifications.
Mode of Operation
1. The UPS's shall be designed to operate as an on-line true double conversion system in the
following modes:
Normal: The critical AC load is continuously supplied by the UPS inverter. The
rectifier/charger derives power from utility AC input source and supplies DC power to the
inverter while simultaneously float charging the battery.
PAGE NO. 113

bypass without interruption to the critical load. This shall be accomplished by turning the
inverter off. Automatic re-transfer or forward transfer of the load shall be accomplished by
turning the inverter on.

switch shall be provided to isolate the UPS inverter output and static bypass transfer switch
for maintenance. This shall allow the UPS to be tested or repaired without affecting load
operation.
Battery backup mode: In the event of a failure of the normal AC input source, the critical
loads are supplied by the inverter with power from the battery without any switching taking
place within the UPS.
Cold start: This function is to make it possible to start the UPS even when the AC input
source is absent. The power is supplied by the battery for a period determined by the
battery charge level and the power required by the load. However, the battery discharge
time is never to exceed three times the rated backup time plus two hours.

features, designed to facilitate UPS sizing and avoid any operating difficulties.

operation. The charger finally comes in „softly‟ with the least of stress to the supplying source.
Time delay
1. This function, in conjunction with the walk-in, should be capable of staggering the charger start.
The purpose, in installations comprising multiple UPS units, is to avoid simultaneous starts that
could disrupt engine generator set operation.

1. It should be possible to set UPS parameters such that when an external signal is received via
an auxiliary contact, the charge level is limited. The value may be programmable to 0 A, i.e. it
is possible to stop charging for the start of an engine generator set.
Battery-room ventilation fault

1. It should be possible to set UPS parameters such that when an external signal is received via
an auxiliary contact, the rectifier/charger shuts down when a ventilation fault in the battery
room is detected. Reset must be manual for the system to restart (safety function).

presence and to the complete satisfaction of the Consultant after the contractor has first
satisfied himself that the installation is functioning properly.
2. The contractor shall provide all certified instruments, equipment, plant, labour and materials
necessary for conducting specified site tests and shall be responsible for and prepared to
demonstrate the accuracy of all the test instruments supplied by him.
3. The contractor shall give the Consultant, notice in writing when any portion of the electrical
installation is complete. Should the Consultant or his representative not attend within 7 days of
receipt of such written notice, the contractor may proceed with the test, however duplicate
certified copies of the results obtained shall be forwarded the Consultant.
4. All electrical installations, plant and equipment tests shall fully satisfy the requirements of the
Ministry of Electricity and Water, State of Qatar and those laid down in the IEE regulations as

required by QGEWC. Once the contractor has satisfied himself that the installation complies
with QGEWC requirements, he shall arrange QGEWC to conduct their own test prior to
handing over. Observations shall be made of the operation and performance of the installation
and subsequent readjustments shall be made as necessary.
PAGE NO. 121

6. Records of commissioning and testing shall be kept and when the contractor has satisfied
himself that the installation is functioning correctly, the results shall be comprehensively
reported in a bound copy to the Consultant.
