Understanding UPS Operation

7.3.4 Battery Mode – Parallel

The UPMs transfer to Battery mode automatically if a utility power outage occurs, or if the utility power does not conform to specified parameters. In Battery mode, the battery provides emergency DC power that the inverter converts to AC power.

Figure 7-7 shows the path of electrical power through the parallel system when operating in Battery mode.

Figure 7-7. Path of Current through the UPMs in Battery Mode – Parallel

While in Battery mode, the UPMs sounds an audible horn, illuminates a visual indicator lamp on the front panel (System Normal, On Battery), and creates an entry into the alarm event history. As the battery discharges, the boost converter and inverter constantly make minute adjustments maintaining a steady output. The UPMs remains in this operating mode until the input power to the rectifier is again within the specified voltage or frequency acceptance windows.
