Always On UPS Systems Product Description 2.1. Theory of Operation The UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is designed to be installed between utility (commercial supplied power) and your loads. It is used to protect your loads from noticing any power fluctuations (eg. Blackouts, brownouts, over-voltage conditions). The UPS will supply a sufficient amount of steady, constant AC power during these power fluctuations, allowing the loads to be shutdown properly preventing possible damage to both hardware and software.
Always On UPS Systems 2.3. Description of Each Block Input Breaker: Prevents the breaker of the distribution panel from tripping when a UPS fault or over-current condition occurs. EMI/RFI Filter: This filter attenuates the electrical noise associated with the polluted utility power to the UPS or noise (THD) generated by the UPS. Rectifier / Power Factor Correction (PFC): During normal operation, the rectifier/power factor correction (PFC) circuit converts the utility power (AC power) to DC power, which in turn is used by the inverter, while ensuring that the waveform...
Always On UPS Systems 2.4. Special Features Efficiency Optimizer function The Efficiency Optimizer function adds cost effectiveness, minimizes power loss and reduces power consumption. Alternating between bypass and on-line modes is achieved automatically and in accordance with the conditions of the utility AC power. On-line mode may be used during times of intermittent power, and bypass mode when the utility is within selectable parameters in order to obtain greatest efficiency.
