When the inverter recovers, the load will be re-transferred automatically to the inverter.
In case of parallel system
Each unit has its own bypass.
All the bypasses in the system work together, their control being managed in the same manner by
all units.
The units are continuously exchanging information before taking such decision.
In case the inverter of one unit fails, its bypass remains operating.
It is excluded only if the unit is separated from the common bus by opening its output switch Q1.

In case of parallel system
When the AC input power recovers, the rectifiers will start up sequentially according to their
number in the parallel system in order to avoid an initial inrush current.

minimum runtime with the present load.
When enough inverters to supply the load have been restarted, the load will be transferred from the
automatic bypass back to the inverter bus-bars.
