The ferroresonant transformer inherently limits current and provides overload protection. The Eaton Ferrups FX UPS has high AC and low AC output voltage alarms, as well as an overload alarm. If the AC output voltage falls below the low AC output voltage alarm setpoint, the UPS sounds an alarm after 5 seconds.
The air around the UPS must be clean and free of dust, corrosive chemicals, and other contaminants. The Eaton Ferrups FX UPS uses internal fans to circulate the air for cooling. The air must be free to circulate around the UPS and external battery cabinet(s). Do not operate the UPS in a sealed room or container.
