Chapter 3 Operation Modes
When maintenance is needed and the reserve AC power is normal, the parallel UPS
units can be switched from inverter mode to bypass mode manually with continuous
power delivering to the loads. Under such conditions, the internal power will be
completely cut off except that each parallel UPS's terminals and manual bypass
breaker or switch still have high voltage. As a result, risks will not exist in the parallel
UPS units so service personnel can perform maintenance safely (see Figure 3-9-a
and 3-9-b).
