3.1 UPS mode
In UPS mode the DCW20 protects a
load from unwanted power interruption
in case of mains failure. An example of
UPS connection is given on Figure 3.
When the input is present DCW20 acts
as a bypass, connecting the input to the
output via the input switch. Meanwhile, if
required, the battery is charged. During
bypass there is no voltage conversion,
therefore the output supply voltage is
equal to the input voltage.
In case of power outage, the DCW20
takes energy from the battery to keep
the output regulated
at “
Nominal output
voltage
” (§4.2.20).
