REDUNDANCY 

Redundancy can be roughly divided in two types: serial (hot standby) redundancy 
and parallel (active) redundancy. The T3UPS series adopts mainly serial redundancy. 

8.1. Serial Redundancy 

ONE TO ONE SERIAL REDUNDANCY 

Serial (hot standby) redundancy consists of two UPS with one UPS’s (UPS1) 
connected to the reserve/bypass input of the other UPS (UPS2). See the above 
figure.
