When the UPS is operating in ESS mode, commercial AC power is supplied directly to the critical load through
the internal bypass with the power module in a standby state. Surge protection and some filtering is also
provided, ensuring that clean power is delivered to the load equipment. If a commercial power brownout,
blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, out-of-tolerance frequency condition occurs, or any other disturbance is
detected in the incoming power, the system forward transfers to normal mode (double-conversion on
demand). In case of a complete utility outage or if input power is outside the tolerances of the system, the UPS
transfers to battery mode and continues to supply conditioned, clean power to the critical load. When the input
line returns to normal operating range, the UPS returns to ESS operation. For charging batteries, the UPS will
not enter ESS mode until charger is 25% or less of maximum charger current.
When operating in ESS, the UPS superior detection and control algorithms continuously monitor incoming
power quality and allow the fast engagement of power converters. Typical transition time to double conversion
is less than two milliseconds, which is practically seamless. If the UPS detects a fault condition while operating
in ESS, it is also able to detect and determine whether the fault is caused by the load or if it is upstream from
the UPS. A fault at the bypass source results in an immediate switch over to the inverter; a fault in the load
keeps the UPS in Energy Saver System (ESS) mode.
When power conditions are within acceptable limits, the UPS operates as a high-efficiency, energy-saving
system — providing surge protection for IT equipment and ensuring clean power is delivered to the facility.
Energy saver system increases system efficiency to 99% at 100% linear load and nominal Vin.
Figure 39 shows the path of electrical power through the UPS system when the UPS is operating in Normal
mode.
ESS mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition. While the UPS is in this mode, the
NORMAL light on the front display will illuminate.
