2.3 Looking Inside the UPS

The Powerware 9315 is a continuous−duty, solid-state UPS that supports the following equipment: process control, data processing, telecommunications/PBX, research, and medical. The Powerware 9315 maintains power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency conditions.

The power required by your equipment is called the critical load. The UPS supplies the critical load with conditioned power that is synchronized with your utility power. Figure 2-2shows the main elements of the UPS.
