Backup time

Time that the connected loads can operate on battery power.

Bypass AC source

Source supplying the bypass line. The load can be transferred to the bypass line if an overload

 

occurs on the UPS output, for maintenance or in the event of a malfunction.

ECO mode

Operating mode by which the load is supplied directly by the AC source if it is within the

 

tolerances defined by the user. This mode reduces the consumption of electrical power.

External

Input used to synchronise the UPS to an external signal.

synchronisation port

 

Fin

UPS input frequency (normal or Bypass AC input).

Load

Devices or systems connected to the UPS output.

Normal (double

The normal UPS operating mode in which the AC source supplies the UPS which in turn supplies

conversion) mode

the connected loads (after electronic double conversion).

Normal AC source

Normal source of power for the UPS.

PFC

Sinusoidal input module used to eliminate the harmonics reinjected by the UPS upstream.

Relay contacts

Contacts supplying information to the user in the form of signals.

Uin

UPS input voltage (normal or Bypass AC input).

Uout

UPS output voltage.

UPS

Uninterruptible Power Supply.
