Stored Energy and Battery Mode

When running normally in double conversion or ESS mode, the UPS automatically transfers to
supply the load from batteries or other stored energy source if a utility power outage occurs, or
if the utility power does not conform to specified parameters. The UPS status indicated on the
display is "On Battery", and the UPM status is "Active". In Battery Mode, the battery provides

During a utility power failure, the rectifier no longer has an AC utility source from which to supply
the DC output current required to support the inverter. The input relay K1 opens and the UPS
output is powered from batteries through the inverter. As the inverter operates uninterrupted
through the transition, the load remains supported continuously without disturbance. If the UPS
static bypass is supplied from the same source as the UPS rectifier, the backfeed protection
contactor K5 also opens. The opening of K1 and K5 prevent system voltages from bleeding
backwards and re-entering the input source through the static switch or rectifier.
If the input power fails to return or is not within the acceptance windows required for normal
operation, the battery continues discharging until a DC voltage level is reached where the inverter
output can no longer support the connected loads. When this event occurs, the UPS issues a set
of audible and visual alarms indicating that the batteries are having a minimal capacity left and
a system shutdown is imminent. Unless utility power is restored, the output can be supported
for maximum two minutes before the output of the system shuts down. If the bypass source is
available, the UPS transfers to bypass instead of shutting down.
