Understanding UPS Operation

UPS System Overview
The Eaton 93E MK2 UPS is a continuous-duty, solid-state, three-phase, true online system that
provides conditioned and uninterruptible AC power to the UPS system's output and critical load.
The basic system consists of a rectifier, battery converter, inverter, monitoring/operation control panel, integrated
communication server, and digital signal processor (DSP) logic. Figure 5-1 shows the main elements of the UPS
system.
If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in Chapter 9, "Product Specifications, " the
UPS uses a backup battery supply to maintain power to the critical load for a specified period of time or until the
utility power returns. For extended power outages, the UPS allows you to either transfer to an alternative power
system (such as a generator) or shut down your critical load in an orderly manner.
