If the input power fails to return or is not within the acceptance windows required for
normal operation, the battery continues discharging until a DC voltage level is reached
where the inverter output can no longer support the connected loads. When this
event occurs, the UPS issues another set of audible and visual alarms indicating
SHUTDOWN IMMINENT. Unless the rectifier has a valid AC input soon, the battery
continues discharging until a DC voltage level is reached where the inverter output
can no longer support the shared loads. If the bypass source is available, the UPS
transfers to bypass instead of shutting down.
If at any time during the battery discharge the input power becomes available again,
contactors K1 and K5 close and the rectifier begins to supply DC current to the
converter and inverter. At this point, the unit returns to Normal mode. Depending on
the total load and the duration of the battery discharge, battery current limit alarms
may be seen for a short time due to the current required to recharge the battery.
