Double conversion
The power supplied to the connected equipment is completely regenerated
by continuous double conversion, i.e. the AC power from the AC-power source
is rectified (AC - DC), then converted back (DC - AC) to AC power.

Forced shutdown
Allows a "clean" of computer operating systems depending on the low battery
threshold setting. If the input source is restored during the time period
between the shutdown order and actual system shutdown, it causes a
voluntary interruption of the supply of power to the connected equipment
(lasting 10 seconds) after system shutdown.
