INTRODUCTION General Description When the Eskom power is flowing through the UPS it keeps the voltage at a constant 220volts not allowing fluctuations in the Eskom power to affect the ATM. When load shedding occurs the UPS seamlessly shifts across to battery power keeping the ATM operational for a certain time frame.

5. FAULT TROUBLE SHOOTING If the UPS is not operational after Eskom has come back on after load shedding then it could be one of three scenario’s: The Eskom power has been off an extended period and the batteries have gone flat due to the fact that even in standby mode the UPS will still be drawing a charge from the batteries.
