RPA™ - Redundant Parallel Architecture™ Parallel System GE provides a unique technology called Redundant Parallel Architecture™ (RPA™) that can parallel Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) modules with true redundancy.
Page 87: Description
With backfeed protection and compliance to EMC standards the TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150 complies to current standards. Reliability can be further increased by paralleling up to six UPS units utilizing GE’s unique RPA™ technology (Redundant Parallel Architecture). With RPA every UPS is controlled in a true peer-to-peer conﬁguration with redundancy in all critical elements and functions, eliminating all single points of failure.

4.2.3 Utility Failure Operation When the Utility is no longer within acceptable tolerances, the Battery will provide the DC power to the Inverter. The Inverter will maintain continuous AC power to the Load until the Battery Voltage reaches the lower limit of the Inverter operation capability.
Page 91: Automatic Bypass
4.2.5 Automatic Bypass In normal operation, the Load is supplied by the Inverter. When the control system detects a fault in the Inverter, an overload condition or a short- circuit condition, the Automatic Bypass will transfer the critical Load to the Utility without interruption.
Page 92: Rpa Parallel System Operation
RPA PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATION 4.3.1 Introduction to the RPA Parallel System Fig. 4.3.1-1 Block diagram RPA Parallel System operation Two or more equal power units can be paralleled to increase the output power (paralleling for capacity) or to improve the overall reliability of an UPS system (paralleling for redundancy). The outputs of parallel units are connected to a common power bus, and in normal operation the units connected on the parallel bus share the Load equally.
Page 93: Features Of Rpa Parallel System
4.3.2 Features of RPA Parallel System The TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150 Parallel System is designed to provide a complete Redundant Parallel Architecture, and is free from common equipment. Not only the Inverters but also the Bypass functions are redundant. When one UPS needs maintenance or service, the Load is powered by the other units.

Page 95: Ups Paralleled On The Same Battery
A Parallel System with a Common Battery for two or more UPS (max. 4 units), requires a particular installation and adequate setting of some parameters, (accessible only through password), and can therefore only be done by a GE QUALIFIED ENGINEER. Usually each UPS Unit runs with its own Battery.

RPA™ - Redundant Parallel Architecture™ Parallel System GE provides a unique technology called Redundant Parallel Architecture™ (RPA™) that can parallel Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) modules with true redundancy.
Page 253: Description
With backfeed protection and compliance to EMC standards the TLE Series 160 - 500 complies to current standards. Reliability can be further increased by paralleling up to six UPS units utilizing GE’s unique RPA™ technology (Redundant Parallel Architecture). With RPA every UPS is controlled in a true peer-to-peer conﬁguration with redundancy in all critical elements and functions, eliminating all single points of failure.

(RFC-1628); GE Single MIB; GE Parallel MIB). The UPS can therefore be managed by a Network Management System (NMS) or by our applications (for instance GE iUPSGuard or GE Data Protection), which uses this information to determine the state of the UPS in order to guarantee safe and orderly shut-down of the server, when needed.
Page 507: Maintenance
A UPS system, like other electrical equipment, needs periodic preventive maintenance. A regular maintenance check of your installation guarantees higher reliability of your safe power supply. GE recommends to perform the first service within 12 months from the commissioning date or within 18 months from delivery date.
