The UPS is composed of utility input, TVSS and EMI/RFI filters, rectifier/PFC, inverter, battery
charger, DC-to-DC converter, battery, dynamic bypass and UPS output.

surges, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). These features
can minimize any surges or interference present in the utility power. The filters also prevent surges
or interference generated by the UPS from adversely affecting devices connected on the same branch
as the UPS.
Rectifier/Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit
In normal operation, the Liebert GXT3's rectifier/power factor correction (PFC) circuit converts utility
power to regulated DC power for use by the inverter while ensuring that the wave shape of the input
current used by the UPS is near ideal. Extracting this sinewave input current achieves two objectives:
• Efficient power use by the UPS
• Reduced reflected harmonics
This results in cleaner power being available to other devices in the building not being protected by
the Liebert GXT3.
Inverter
In normal operation, the Liebert GXT3's inverter utilizes the DC output of the PFC to produce
precise, regulated sine wave AC power. When utility power fails, the inverter receives DC power from
the DC-to-DC Converter. In either operation mode, the UPS inverter is online, continuously
generating clean, precise, regulated AC output power.
