In the bypass mode, the output of the system is provided with three-phase AC
power directly from the system input. While in this mode, the output of the
system is not protected from voltage or frequency fluctuations or power outages
from the source. Some power line filtering and transient protection is provided to
the load, but no active power conditioning or battery support is available to the
output of the system in the bypass mode.
The static bypass consists of a solid-state, silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR)
static switch (STSW) and a backfeed protection isolation device K5. The static
switch is rated as a continuous-duty device that is used anytime the inverter is
unable to support the applied load. The static switch is wired in series with the
backfeed protection. As the static switch is an electronically-controlled device, it
can be turned on immediately to pick up the load from the inverter without
interruption. The backfeed protection is normally always closed, ready to
support the static switch unless the bypass input source becomes unavailable.
