Feature : Flexible Battery Management (FBM)
The Flexible Battery Management (FBM) has been designed in all NEWAVE UPS products with the goal to avoid
the deterioration of battery age. The FBM – Key Features protect the battery from environmental negative impacts
(high temperature and false manipulations) and avoid deterioration of battery life by advanced management of
battery charging and preventive failure diagnostics. The implemented features result in benefits not only for the end
user, but also to the environment. The battery user will be required to replace his batteries less often. This
translates into financial and environmental benefits. Last but not least a well protected and managed battery is a
healthy battery and hence it enhance the overall availability of the UPS system.
The major benefits are:
•
AC-Ripple free battery charging due to DC-DC charger separated from the rectifier and inverter
•
Wide range of number of battery blocks (16-50(*) blocks of 12V)
•
UPS’S wide input voltage window tolerance extends the battery life due to less discharge cycles
•
Battery discharge protection caused by load jumps
•
Proactive battery protection from false manipulations and inadequate charging voltages
•
Proactive battery failure detection thanks to Advanced Battery Diagnosis (ABD) - Algorithm
•
User selectable battery tests
•
Optional temperature compensated charging to enhance battery life
Hence, the function of FBM system is to prolong the battery life considerably compared to traditional systems. In a
traditional online UPS the inverter also causes ripple-current to be fed to batteries causing corrosion.

Feature : DPA Technology - Decentralized Parallel Architecture
The UPS product features DPA paralleling technology that provides N+X redundancy without introducing a single-
point-of-failure. The products utilizing the DPA technology are completely autonomous be means of individual
Power Units, Bypasses, CPU’s, Control Panels and separate battery configuration for each single module.
The DPA technology makes it more reliable than traditional paralleling techniques. A parallel UPS system means
the linking together of two or more UPS units in parallel so that in the unlikely event one fails the other can
automatically take up the load. Traditionally a parallel redundancy configuration is achieved by having a random or
fixed master-slave relationship among the UPS units. This master logic gives out individual commands to all the
slaves units. Unfortunately this can lead to a single-point-of-failure for the whole system because if the master logic
or communication to slaves fails, and causes the whole UPS system to be in trouble.
The DPA technology was developed as a Multi-Master logic concept with separated independent regulation and
logic buses to allow parallel capacity system and to maintain the highest system availability. An industry leading
paralleling technology in its own right, the DPA technology enables you to set up a parallel redundant system
giving you 100% conditioned power at all times. Its unique decentralized design eliminates the system level single
point of failure inherent in traditional parallel UPS, and exponentially increases the reliability of the overall system.
DPA technology allows up to ten UPS modules to cover the same load in parallel and redundant configuration. No
vulnerable master logic is needed in this design. It provides automatic load sharing and module level redundancy
with nothing other than the power connecting to the PowerScale version of UPS.
1.2.5 QUALITY STANDARDS AND UPS CLASSIFICATION CODE
The PowerScale will provide your critical equipment with a steady and reliable power supply for many years.
The unique PowerScale belongs to the newest generation of midrange 3phase UPS-Systems. High reliability, low
operating cost and excellent electrical performance are only some of the highlights of this innovative UPS solution.
