2.2 System 
Description 
The UPS is connected between the public utility mains and the 
loads to be protected. 
The power section of the rectifier converts the mains voltage to 
DC voltage for supplying the inverter. The circuit technology used 
(PFC) enables sinusoidal current consumption and therefore 
operation with little system disturbance. A separate, second 
rectifier (charging REC set up using switch mode power supply 
technology) is responsible for charging or trickle-charging the 
battery connected in the intermediate circuit. The configuration of 
this charging REC means the harmonic content of the charging 
current for the battery is almost zero, which increases the service 
life of the battery even more. The inverter is responsible for 
converting the DC voltage into a sinusoidal output voltage. A 
microprocessor-driven control based on a pulse-width modulation 
(PWM) guarantees, in conjunction with digital signal processor 
technology and extremely fast pulsating IGBT power 
semiconductors of the inverter, a voltage system of the highest 
quality and availability on the secured busbar. 
In the event of mains faults (such as e.g. current failures), the 
voltage continues to be supplied from the inverter to the load 
without any interruption. From this point onwards, the inverter 
draws its power from the battery instead of the rectifier. Since no 
switching operations are necessary, there is no interruption in the 
supply to the load. 
The automatic electronic bypass serves to increase the reliability 
of the supply further, especially in the case of individual systems. 
It switches the public mains directly through to the load without 
any interruption, e.g. when there is an inverter malfunction. As a 
result, the automatic bypass represents an extra passive 
redundancy for the load. 
An integrated, manually operated bypass unit ensures an 
uninterrupted supply to the connected loads in the case of 
maintenance and/or service work. The internal electronic part 
(with the exception of the metal-clad manual bypass) can be 
disconnected via the mains input miniature circuit breakers.
