UPS theory of operation
Unitary UPS
The unitary MGE

UPSs are made up of five modular
sub-assemblies:
◗ 
 rectifier-charger;
◗ 
 battery;
◗ 
 three-phase inverter;
◗ 
 static switch;
◗ 
 maintenance bypass.
The load and Mains 2 operate at 50
or 60 Hz.
Mains 1 power up
◗ 
 the inverter receives power from
the rectifier-charger and supplies
power to the load. There is no
direct connection between Mains
and load;
◗ 
 the battery is charged or the
charge maintained.

Mains 2
Mains 1  power down
◗ 
 the inverter receives power from

Mains 2
Major overload
◗ 
 Mains 2 supplies power to the
load via the static switch;
◗ 
 the inverter is shut down;
◗ 
 the inverter starts-up
automatically as soon as overload
is removed;
◗ 
 power is transferred without
affecting the load.

◗ 
 Mains 2 supplies power to the
load via the maintenance bypass;
◗ 
 the rectifier-charger and inverter
are shut down and disconnected
from all sources of power.
