Natural shift to transformerless topology


with UPS systems still providing high quality
power to loads
IGBT bipolar transistors enable voltage control
& very short switching (nanoseconds from
10%-90% of threshold) in compact size
Dualpack:

MGE uses 5th generation Sixpack IGBTs


containing 1000s of transistor cells; most
compact & integrated to date

3 packages of 2 IGBT

Low to medium power devices can operate at


16kHz with output efficiencies > 90%.
For higher power equipment, frequency limited
to reach efficiencies 94%.

Advantages of transformerless UPS:


Mechanical
High Density transistors/device means newest IGBTs offer
extremely compact form factor compared to early control
devices
No transformer enables to reduce weight and size
Enables smaller package overall

Advantages of transformerless UPS:


Performance
Greater regulation flexibility accommodates wider range of input
voltages.
Improved electro-magnetic compatibility (EMI)
Improves compliance with Generator set :
limits input current at Generator start-up
Input power factor close to 1 :

=1

No reactive power or capacitive current


smaller sizing for genset

Combination of transformerless designs with IGBT technology &


latest output filters achieves industrys highest efficiency
UPS battery isolated from DC bus thanks to independent charger
protecting battery from non-linear load disturbances

Transformerless UPS reliability


Direct thermal IGBT control results
from integrated temperature sensors
placed directly in rectifier & inverter
bases
If fault is detected, UPS sets-off alarm
and can switch to bypass input
without interruption
Significantly reduced component
count & integrated control card
eliminates numerous cables and
connections that can cause faults

Transformerless UPS - Lower Capex & Installation Costs


Low input current for right sizing of the different components of the installation
Thanks to IGBT Charger, MGE Galaxy 7000 has lower input current
A high input current has an impact on the dimensioning of the equipment in the electric
installation:
 Cable over-sizing,
 Genset over-sizing,
 Transformer over-sizing,
 Circuit-breaker over-sizing.

Example for cable. The table below shows the cable size recommended by Chloride and

Transformer topology

How to ground the neutral at the output of the UPS ?


 to reduce the potential between neutral and
ground)

 It is forbiden to ground the neutral


WITHOUT total galvanic isolation : the
neutral cannot have 2 different
references to earth.
 Then, we need to implement an AC
by-Pass transformer. Its neutral is
connected to the inverter transformer
neutral, both being grounded to a
unique earth.

 With a unique output transformer, there is a total galvanic isolation and the neutral can be
grounded.
 Conclusion : same methodology needed as with transformer based UPS : add 1 transformer
