1.3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Total Information Management Corporation’s data center follows strictly fundamental of

TIER 3 standard which includes redundant capacity components and multiple independent

distribution paths serving the computer equipment. Typically, only one distribution path serves

the computer equipment at any time. Each capacity component and element can be removed from

service on a planned basic without impacting any of the computer equipment. Planned

infrastructure can be performed by using the redundant capacity components and delivery paths

to safety work on the remaining equipment.

To establish concurrent maintainability of the critical power distribution system between

the UPS and the computer equipment, TIER 3 sites require all computer hardware have dual power

inputs as define by this standard requirement with 99.982% SLA. Typically, rated 3 are those

companies whose IT resources support automated business process, so the impact on client’s

shutdown is manageable or acceptable.

Total Information Management Corporation (TIM) extracts its main power source from

Meralco (Biñan & Dasmariñas) in a 34.5KV distribution line passing to a Step-down transformer

consist of 750kVA,1MVA and 1.5MVA capacities. Each IT load connected under Data center

electrical system has a redundant panel situated in different UPS units.

1.3.4 Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Unit

Uninterrupted Power supply (UPS) system is the heart of a data center’s electrical system. It normally

corrects and eliminates nuisance in the electrical sine wave input from the grid. Unfortunately, the power

delivered from the utility isn’t as steady as you’d like it to be. Brief power outage, power sags and power

surges/spikes can cause more than just a hassle-they can cause damage into the IT equipment. UPS can correct

and modify output power from a distorted into perfect like sine wave. Electrical fluctuations, surges and other

electrical turbulence will be absorbed and managed by the said UPS equipment. The UPS and all associated

equipment and components shall be manufactured in accordance with the following applicable standards:

• Safety Requirements: IEC 62040-1-1, EN 50091-1-1

• EMC: IEC 62040-2 (Class A), EN 50091-2 (Class A)

• Performance: IEC 62040-3 (VFI SS 111), EN50091-3

The above-mentioned product standards incorporate relevant compliance clauses with generic IEC and

EN standards for safety (60950), electromagnetic emission and immunity (61000 series) and construction

(60146 series and 60529). For more details, see below: • IEC 61000-3-4

• IEC 61000-4-2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11

• EN60950

• EN60529

• IEC 60146-1-1

1.6 CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV)

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) should be considered as essential part of Data Center Security as

handled by Facilities and Security Team. Data Centers are expected to have a ‘very high-security operation’. In

addition to the normal access control and electronic security you would expect in data center, a good CCTV

system can help back up the essential audit trails you need to determine who’s been coming and going of Data

center facilities. High security operation depends primarily on CCTV footage.

CCTV cameras serve two purposes, it defers unauthorized persons, and it will perform a recording to

establish what has happened and this recording can be viewed as a fact. Recording of CCTV cameras is highly

recommended and ideally takes places on digital recorders to be able to easily archive and eliminate a single

point of failure.

1.7 DOOR-ACESS CONTROL

In the world of Data Center, security is the most important infrastructure element outside the server

cabinets and hard drives themselves. Access control is the one thing separating vast amounts of valuable data

from the wrong hands. Therefore, these organizations should be sure to practice the most cutting-edge security

techniques available to foil any would-be thieves. Also, handled by Facilities and Security Team

Data Center Doors can be secured in various ways; key locks – should have proper key management

procedures; Electronics lock – each employee or authorized personnel has a specific RFID Card which is also

being monitored on a certain computer monitoring for the outgoing and incoming individuals. TIM-BRC has

installed 5 Door access control for the ground floor; 5 door access control for the second floor; 9 door access

control for the Annex building.

2.1 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2.1.1 Generator and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

ATS Controller and ACB

2.1.1.1 Testing Procedure

This procedure applies monthly during no-load testing and with load testing.

What to check before initialization of Testing:


1. Radiator Water Level
Note: Add “distilled” water only if necessary. Alarm will indicate once generator radiator level is below
standard.
2. Check Engine Oil Level thru dipstick
Generator Oil system acts as lubrication on the engines rotary parts and stationary parts. It reduces
the friction and wear on moving parts and to clean engine from sludge and varnish. Cooling by serving as a
heat transfer media to carry heat away from critical areas.

3. Check battery terminal voltage (must not be less than 25.5 V DC)

4. Turn-off Gen-set main circuit breaker (Low level Position)

5. Fuel Return Valve must be fully open

6. Fuel tank must be at normal level

5600 South Superhighway, Makati City 1235 Philippines


Telephone No: (632) 8857-1846
Website: www.timcorp.net.ph
Page | 36
Starting Engine:

1. Switch in Panel to MANUAL MODE

2. Release the emergency button (Lock for standby unit only)

3. Start by pressing the generator ON button. The Generator will crank and run Note: Oil pressure must not

exceed 95-100 psi

What to observe during testing?

Bear in mind that the ATS will not respond just in case power failure occurs in-line with the testing. Both

controllers must synchronize accordingly meaning they must be in the same operational mode. If your gen-set

controller is in “manual mode” at sudden power fluctuation or power outage, it will not respond to ATS as your

ATS is in “automatic mode”. You still have the UPS to continuously power your loads without interruption

while your gen-set is preparing to supply. In this case you just have to switch the gen-set main circuit breaker

on and it will power up the load since it is in operation already.

Note: Do not turn it to auto-mode from manual mode while in operation because the engine will stop and recycle

its run again in another operational mode which is auto-mode therefore adding down-time to emergency Power.

a. Engine re-cranking consecutively at shorter interval might damage your engine starter.

b. Air Intake at radiator – Clear any blockade

c. Water temperature will increase between 114°F - 183°F

d. Frequency must be 60 Hz

e. Voltage – 380 Volts line to line and 230 Volts line to neutral

4. Shut off after 15 minutes by pressing the OFF button

5. Record all Test run Data for maintenance log.

2.1.1.2 Data Center Generator Manual Power Transfer and Troubleshooting

WARNING! Always check power availability in the ATS control panel before proceeding to avoid

double change-over of power. If normal power returns, wait if the electrical loads are powered up so that you may not

proceed to manual transfer. Don’t forget to switch the Genset panel lock into active position first.

2.1.1.3 Generator unit function failures

Note: Once generator Fails to Start, Data center Engineer on-duty must be able to resolve unit issue for

less than 15 minutes. UPS power units can provide back-up power of 15 minutes during full-load capacity. If

not, Electrical System must be transfer to redundant unit to assure continuous operation on Data center

facilities and Equipment.

Common issue:

GENERATOR UNIT FAILS TO START:

1. Check charger if unplugged: It will take time to full charge if this instance happens, personnel

must procced with the backup unit transfer.

2. Check Fuel Status: Fuel level must be in normal condition and must have enough capacity to

sustain for a continues operation. If not:

a. Start Fuel pump to transfer fuel from the common day tank to generator unit fuel tank.

b. Proceed to unit transfer if level is to risk, or issue encountered during refueling generator

tank

3. Check Radiator level: below water level indicates that unit generator has insufficient coolant for

oil system and generator heat transfer for cooling system. Refill “distilled” water.

4. Check Pressure indication: High pressure remarks indicates sludges accumulated on fuel filters

and screens. This warning does not have first level restoration and MUST proceed with generator unit

transfer.

2.1.1.4 Building Generator Manual Power Transfer

Note: Building and Data center has separate generator units and has its own ATS to be able to supply
power on building electrical system such as common areas (e.g., FCU, Lighting loads, Offices)

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) FAILS to transfer power:

1. Open ATS enclosure Panel. Building ATS uses Air circuit Breaker (ACB) on both emergency and normal

side.

2. Press RED button on normal side ACB. This procedure isolates system from the connection of incoming

utility power.

3. Press BLACK button on Emergency side ACB. Allowing power input to be supplied by emergency

generator unit.

Note: Building Generator has only one unit availability. On duty personnel must ensure that it is always

in good condition. Refer to (2.1.1.3 Generator Unit Function Failure)

2.1.2 Uninterrupted Power Supply

The UPS is configured to operate as an on-line, double-conversion, reverse transfer system in

the following modes of operation:

A. Normal: UPS inverters continuously powers the critical AC load. The rectifier/chargers derive power

from the mains AC power supply source converting this to DC power to supply the inverters, while

simultaneously float/boost charging the battery system. Power supplied by the UPS inverters is, to within

specified tolerances, and at rated voltage and frequency.

B. Battery: Upon failure of the mains AC power supply source, the critical AC load is powered by the

inverter, which gets, without interruption, power from the battery system. There shall be no interruption

in power to the critical load upon failure or restoration of the mains AC power supply source. Upon

5600 South Superhighway, Makati City 1235 Philippines


Telephone No: (632) 8857-1846
Website: www.timcorp.net.ph
Page | 43
restoration of the mains AC power supply source, power to the rectifier initially is restricted by a gradual

power walk-in. Following the short power walk-in period, the rectifier powers the inverter and

simultaneously recharges the battery through the battery converter. This shall be an automatic function

and shall cause no interruption to the critical load.

C. Off-Battery or Frequency Converter: When the battery system is taken out of service for maintenance or

the UPS is used as a frequency converter, it is disconnected from the battery converter and inverters by

means of external disconnect breakers. The UPS shall continue to function and meet all of the specified

steady-state performance criteria, except for the power outage back-up time capability.

D. Bypass: If the inverter fails, or the inverter overload capacity is exceeded, or the inverter is manually

turned off by user, and at this time the inverter is synchronous with the bypass, the static transfer switch

shall perform a transfer of the load from the inverter to the bypass source with no interruption in power

to the critical AC load. If the inverter is asynchronous with the bypass, the static switch will perform a

transfer of the load from the inverter to the bypass with interruption in power to critical AC load. This

interruption must be less than 15ms (in 50Hz), or less than 13.33ms (in 60Hz). The static bypass shall

be able to support continuously 135% of rated UPS capacity.

5600 South Superhighway, Makati City 1235 Philippines


Telephone No: (632) 8857-1846
Website: www.timcorp.net.ph
Page | 44
E. Maintenance: Each UPS has an internal maintenance bypass (external maintenance bypass is an external

maintenance bypass which can be installed in the Maintenance Bypass Cabinet-MCB). If the UPS needs

to be maintained or repaired, after the inverter is turned off and the load is transferred to bypass, the

internal maintenance bypass or external maintenance bypass can be turned on and the UPS can be shut

down and the battery can be disconnected for maintenance purposes.

F. Parallel: For higher capacity or higher reliability, the UPS outputs (3ph/4w) can be directly paralleled

together; parallel controllers in every UPS automatically share the load. The largest parallel capacity is

up to four times the nominal load of each unit composing the system.

G. Regen Mode: The UPS system shall have the ability to perform self-test for full rated capacity without

using any external load banks. In this mode, UPS rectifier, inverter and static bypass shall be tested up to

full load capacity without any failure. Power consumption in this mode shall only be full load losses of

UPS.

H. Source Share mode: A part of the critical AC load is supplied by the mains AC input, and the remainder

of the critical AC load is supplied by battery. The ratio of the input and the remainder of the critical AC

load are supplied by batteries. This mode is mostly used in generator mode when a smaller generator

than needed is employed.
