MCI 700, 1000, 2000, 3000 VA (XL) Device Description UPS Device Description This UPS-unit is an ONLINE-UPS according to the double conversion principle. The UPS receives the classification "Class 1 (VFI-SS-111) due to the excellent operating performance pursuant to EN62040-4. Consequently, any appliances connected via the unit can be ideally supplied, regardless of the performance of the primary energy source (mains power supply).
Page 19
MCI 700, 1000, 2000, 3000 VA (XL) Device Description Normal operating mode (INVERTER-MODE) The normal operating mode is characterized here by the typical double conver- sion. The mains power supply is converted into the DC intermediate circuit, which in turn feeds the UPS output via the inverter (DC/AC converter). In this mode, the BYPASS is inactive.
