Setting the power strategy
The UPS has the following three settings for power strategy:
v Normal. The UPS operates in Normal mode (powering the load from utility
power).
v High Efficiency. The UPS operates in High Efficiency mode (powering the load
from the bypass source but ready to transfer to Normal mode as needed). The
UPS is highly sensitive to line fluctuations and transfers out of High Efficiency
mode at ±5% of nominal voltage or ±1% of nominal frequency. If the UPS
transfers to Normal mode, the UPS automatically transfers back to High
Efficiency mode after 5 minutes of stable power. Transfers to High Efficiency
mode are limited to three times in 1 hour.
v Converter. The UPS operates as a frequency converter, powering the load from
acceptable utility power while providing a stable output frequency. Bypass
operation and bypass-related alarms are disabled.
The following table describes the UPS behavior in Converter mode in detail. To set
the output frequency, see “Configuration” on page 32.
