Normal Mode
In Normal mode, utility AC power is supplied to the rectifier. The rectifier supplies
DC power to the inverter, which then supplies the critical load with AC power. The
rectifier also provides chargingpower to the battery. The battery charge condition
is monitored by the UPS and reported by a status indicator on the M onitor Panel.
The message “System Normal” appears in the status area of the LCD screen.
Figure 3 shows the path of electrical power through the UPS system when the UPS
is operating in Normalmode.

Figure 3. Path of Current Through the UPS in Normal Mode
If the utility AC power is interruptedor is out of specification, the UPS automatically
switches to Battery mode to supportthe critical load with no interruption. When
utility power returns, the UPS returns to Normal mode.
If the UPS system becomes overloaded, the UPS switches to Bypass mode. The
UPS automatically returnsto Normal mode when the error condition is clearedand
system operation is restored within specified limits.
If the UPS suffers an internal failure, it switches automatically to Bypass mode and
remains in that mode until the failure is corrected and the UPS is back in service.
