® ™ (UPS). The Liebert GXT3 comes in a nominal power rating of 5000VA. It is designed to provide conditioned power to microcomputers and other sensitive electronic equipment. When it is generated, alternating current is clean and stable. However, during transmission and distribution it may be subject to voltage sags, spikes and complete power failure that may interrupt computer operations, cause data loss and even damage equipment.
UPS inverter is on-line and continuously generating clean, precise, regulated AC output power. Battery Charger The battery charger utilizes energy from the mains power and precisely regulates it to continuously float charge the batteries. The batteries are being charged whenever the Liebert GXT3 is connected to mains power.
For run times, see Table 11. Dynamic Bypass The Liebert GXT3 provides an alternate path for mains power to the connected load in the unlikely event of a UPS malfunction. Should the UPS have an overload, overtemperature or any other UPS failure condition, the UPS automatically transfers the connected load to bypass.
