  • Page 36: When Utility Is Abnormal/Absent

    When Utility is Abnormal/Absent The working principle of the UPS under Utility abnormal condition is illustrated as follows: Fig 5.3 1. When Utility is abnormal, the UPS will direct the battery energy automatically to the Inverter without delay, and turn off the charger and AC/DC converter. The inverter converts the DC to AC to supply energy to the output connected load without interruption.
  • Page 37: Overload Condition

    Overload Condition The working principle of the UPS when overloading is illustrated as follows: (1) Generally, modern electronics & IT equipment generate an inrush current when switching on. The amount of inrush current varies from equipment to equipment, some can be as high as 6 times its rated capacity while others produce negligible inrush.
  • Page 38: Inverter Failure

    2. The UPS Bypass loop is also equipped with overload protection. Its overload capacity is illustrated by the graph & table below. Inverter Failure Output Load short circuit when being supplied from inverter If the output load is shorted while being supplied by the Inverter, the UPS will shutdown the Inverter automatically.
  • Page 39: Inverter/Internal Over Temperature

    Inverter/Internal Over temperature If the UPS experiences internal over-temperature while the Utility is normal, it will switch to bypass loop. The UPS will switch back to inverter mode when the over- temperature situation is eliminated. If over temperature occurs when Utility is abnormal, it will beep continuously and the Fault LED will light up.
