The non-observance of the warnings reminding hazardous situations could result in human injury and equipment damages.
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.
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.
BLOCK DIAGRAM AND MAIN ELEMENTS Fig. 4.1-1 Block Diagram TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150 The TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150 system can be divided into the following main elements: Control System TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150 is designed with microprocessor-controlled signal processing circuits. The interface between the operator and the unit is provided by the monitoring system on the front panel.
OPERATION MODES 4.2.1 Normal VFI Operation Mode (Voltage Frequency Independent) Under normal conditions Load permanently powered by the Inverter with constant amplitude and frequency. The Rectifier, powered by the Utility, supplies the Inverter and the battery-charger keeps the battery fully charged. The Inverter converts the DC voltage in a new AC sine wave voltage with constant amplitude and frequency independently from the input...
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Critical Power 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.
Critical Power 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.
Critical Power 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.
Critical Power 4.3.2 Features of RPA Parallel System The TLE Series 160 - 500 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.

(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.
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.
