Course Outline
This 12-hour course provides criteria and guidance in the selection, installation, and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The process for identifying the need for an UPS system, selecting, installing, and maintaining the UPS system are covered. Covered are: theory and principles of static and rotary UPS systems, design and selection of UPS, installation and testing of UPS, maintenance and operation of UPS systems, principles of static and rotary UPS, UPS system rating and sizing selection, operation/maintenance, batteries, troubleshooting, harmonic distortions, grounding, checklists, and acceptance testing.
The course materials
are based entirely on the Technical Manual of Department of Army: TM 5-693:
Uninterruptible power Supply System Selection, Installation, and Maintenance
for Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Facilities.
Learning Objective
The purpose of this course is to provide guidance for the facilities engineers in selecting, installing, and maintaining an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system after the decision has been made to install it.
At the conclusion of the course the student will be familiar with the:
- Principles and configurations of different UPS systems such as the static and rotary UPS systems.
- Design and selection criteria such as the determination of the need, safety, availability and affordability of the UPS systems.
- Installation and testing including the features, location and protection of UPS systems.
- Test and startup
and maintenance of UPS systems.
This course contains specific examples, with practical emphasis on the selection, installation, and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply systems.
