6.1.3
Battery Backup Mode
The following illustration shows power flow during the battery backup mode. In the event of
an AC power failure the batteries of the UPS instantly begin supplying DC power to the UPS
to the main inverter circuit. This circuit converts the DC power into AC power. The AC power
is available at the output of the unit. This back-up process will continue until the UPS battery
voltage drops below a specific minimum level. At which time the batteries cease supplying
power to the load.
This minimum level is the shutdown voltage minimum (V min). The rated battery voltage
table on page 33 shows (V min). The battery backup time and discharge process is
explained in Section 6.2.
