Product Description 

LP 31 Series

 

 

1. INTRODUCTION 

The 

LP 31 Series / 8 – 10 – 15 - 20 kVA

 UPS series is a compact, truly On-line 3-phase in 1-phase out 

system which incorporates the most advanced power electronics technology to provide exceptional 
protection for electrical equipment. 
 
 
 
 
 

2. FUNCTIONAL EXPLANATION 

 

2.1  Principles of Operation 

The UPS stores electric energy in batteries housed in the unit. 
This allows the system to supply output power even when the incoming mains power is cut off 
completely. 
Energy is stored as Direct Current (DC), but input and output energy must be Alternating Current (AC) in 
sine wave form.  
The UPS therefore contains an input converter (AC to DC) and an output converter (DC to AC) (Figure 1). 
 
The 

LP 31 Series / 8 – 10 – 15 - 20 kVA

 UPS is a SECOND GENERATION On-line UPS with: 

•  battery not in line with the DC link, resulting in: 
  - enhanced battery life; 
  - optimal battery charging; 
•  full wave input converter with power factor correction; 
•  extremely wide input voltage and input frequency tolerance; 
• output 

converter 

(inverter) using IGBT technology.

The UPS needs two separate mains: 
One three phase + neutral input mains and a single phase bypass mains. The neutral is essential.
