SLIDE 10 SBM is programmable management, monitoring and testing system that protects the UPS battery string life. The UPS Battery String is prevented from overcharging and deep discharging
UPS Battery Monitoring: GE Superior Battery Mgmt (SBM)
- During UPS startup, the SBM is programmed in the LP33
UPS Module with specific battery information
- Calculates true battery autonomy and remaining battery
backup time during utility outage.
- Measures the volts per cell of the battery system
and compensates for temperature and load
- Programmable features allow the user to select
the frequency and type of battery tests that are performed. − Frequency range can be from once per week to annually. − Test type range can be from deep cycle to 3-min discharges. − All tests done automatically with UPS on-line.
- All tests logged in the UPS events menu and any
failure is reported on the UPS front alarm panel.
- Manual tests can be performed at any time.
- Remote programming and configuration is available through
the SG Series UPS protection software.
- Automatic Battery Test - ensures no surprises
when the mains fails.
- Deep Calibration Test - provides battery
performance tracking.
- Boost Charging - enables fast recharging
- f batteries.
- Temperature compensated battery charger –
prevents overcharging.
- Load dependent end of discharge voltage –
protects against deep discharge.
- No load shutdown - allows battery saving in
no-load conditions.
GE’s Battery Monitoring System removes the need for a 3rd party bolt-on monitoring system, which are prone to software & wiring issues, thus reducing overall UPS System reliability.
