full system, while providing conditioned power to the critical load bus, and charging the batteries

or other components.
C. Soft -Start Operation: As a standard feature, the UPS shall contain soft -start functionality,

shall provide no break transfer of the critical load from the Inverter output to the static bypass
input source during times where maintenance is required, or the inverter can not support the
critical bus. Such times may be due to prolonged or severe overloads, or UPS failure. The UPS
and static bypass switch shall constantly monitor the auxiliary contacts of their respective circuit
breakers, as well as the bypass source voltage, and inhibit potentially unsuccessful transfers to
static bypass from taking place.

with a continuous duty rating of 125% of the UPS output rating.
C. Automatic Transfers: An automatic transfer of load to static bypass shall take place whenever
the load on the critical bus exceeds the overload rating of the UPS. Automatic transfers of the
critical load from static bypass back to normal operation shall take place when the overload
condition is removed from the critical bus output of the system. Automatic transfers of load to
static bypass shall also take place if for any reason the UPS cannot support the critical bus.
D. Manual Transfers: Manually initiated transfers to and from static bypass shall be initiated
through the UPS display interface.
UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY 260519-6
