While in this mode, the output ofthe system is not protected from voltage or frequency fluctuations or poweroutages from the source. Some power line filtering and transient protection isprovided to the load, but no active power conditioning or battery support isavailable 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 staticswitch is rated as a continuous-duty device that is used anytime the inverter isunable to support the applied load. The static switch is wired in series with thebackfeed protection. As the static switch is an electronically-controlled device, itcan be turned on immediately to pick up the load from the inverter withoutinterruption. The backfeed protection is normally always closed, ready tosupport the static switch unless the bypass input source becomes unavailable.Eaton 91PS/93PS UPS 8-10 kW User's and installation guide© Eaton Corporation plc 2018.
