FILTER & LINES GP-HYDRAULIC 4931304 - Caterpillar

TERMINATION DATE
31Dec2014
PROBLEM
The existing EXPUT, DIGIT, and EXTT boards can cause fault propagation and possible contingent damage on certain UPSB505 Uninterruptible Power Supplies in a parallel application with other UPSB505 Uninterruptible Power Supplies.
Existing DIGIT failure.
If an IGBT failure occurs in one UPS, the resultant exchange current can be higher than normal limits and can saturate (disturb) the multiplexers on DIGIT in other parallel UPS. This can generate false alarms such as Inverter Lx fuse blown instant?. As a consequence of this, other inverter(s) could stop and load be transferred to AC bypass.
Existing EXPUT failure.
If a unit fails (UPS or SSC), that unit needs to inform other units it will be disconnected. Otherwise, the system will not work properly (downgraded mode).
The reserve of energy on board may not be sufficient to guarantee this communication in case of failure (example, DC bus short-circuit, power supply failure).
Eisting EXTT failure.
If a UPS fails, it will disconnect whereas higher current can occur in the parallel CTs. At this moment, relays on EXTT board, which are in serial with secondary of CTs may be damaged and contacts may be welded. After that, the installation will not work properly since exchange currents will be false.
