UPS System Overview
The Power Xpert 9395 UPS is a continuous-duty, solid‐state, transformerless (at
480 Vac), three-phase, true online system that provides conditioned and
uninterruptible AC power to the UPS system's output and critical load.
The basic system consists of a rectifier, battery converter, inverter, monitoring/
operation control panel, integrated communication server, and digital signal processor
(DSP) logic. Figure 6‐1 shows the main elements of the UPS system.

Figure 6‐1. Main Elements of the UPS System
If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in Chapter 10,
“Product Specifications,” the UPS uses a
backup battery supply
to maintain power to
the critical load for a specified period of time or until the utility power returns. For
extended power outages, the UPS allows you to either transfer to an alternative
power system (such as a generator) or shut down your critical load in an orderly
manner.
