  • Page 33: Modes Of Operation

    5. MODES OF OPERATION Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) have an important function in the protection of the critical and sensitive loads from the irregular mains electricity conditions and they are used to supply uninterruptible energy to these loads. In such irregular mains electricity conditions, the user can provide an artificial energy supply to the equipment present in the office or at home by using an UPS.
  • Page 34 5.1. Bypass Operation (Eco-Mode) In this mode, as long as the mains voltage and frequency within the limits, the load is supplied by the mains in a controlled manner (the inverter is in standby state). The purpose of using this mode is to increase the efficiency up to 98,5% and to provide energy saving;...
  • Page 35 Bypass Operation voltage tolerance limit can be adjusted in certain ranges, depending on the customer’s request, in the factory as well as at the field by Technical Service Personnel. To return to Bypass Operation; the mains voltage should turn back to +5V above of lower limit, -5V down of upper limit of bypass limits.
  • Page 36 Battery Management and Battery Back-Up Time As it is known, battery back-up can not be indicated with 100% accuracy, but approximation can be done. Even UPS operates in Online or Bypass Operation; it continuously calculates and displays the remaining back-up time. However the calculated values will be more healthier and accurate a few minutes after the UPS switches to Battery Operation.
