UPS System
Overview
The Eaton 93E MK2 UPS is a
continuous-duty, solid-state, three-phase,
true online
system
that
provides conditioned
and
uninterruptible
AC
power
to the UPS
system's output
and critical
load.
The basic
system consists
of a rectifier,
battery converter, inverter, monitoring/operation
control panel,
integrated
communication server,
and digital signal
processor
(DSP) logic. Figure 5-1
shows
the main
elements
of the
UPS
sy
stem.
If utility
power
is
interrupted
or falls
outside
the
parameters specified
in
Chapter
9,
“Product Specifications,”
the
UPS
uses
a backup
battery
supply to maintain
power
to the critical load for a
specified
period of time or until
the
utility
power returns.
For
extended power outages,
the UPS allows you to either
transfer
to an
alternative
po
w
er
system
(such as a
generator)
or shut down your critical load in an orderly
manner
.
