The Static Bypass is a connection that links the input power source directly to the output and continues to supply the load without passing through the UPS system.
UPS Static Bypass switches enable bypassing the normal UPS operation during instances of overload or fault. A well-designed system should allow this to happen without disrupting the power supply to the load.
The UPS Bypass mode occurs when the circuit is redirected from passing through the UPS to bypassing it. A manual bypass switch is utilized to remove the UPS from the circuit for maintenance, servicing, or in case it malfunctions. An automatic transfer switch operates similarly to a manual switch, but also automatically transfers the load from the UPS to the main electrical supply if there is an internal failure in the UPS.
As a static inverter is a more specialised version of a UPS system it works the same way, the Bypass switch allows a static inverter system to be bypassed if there is an issue or maintenance is required.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi) is a metric that indicates the level of harmonic distortion. It is determined by the ratio of the combined power of all harmonic frequencies to the power of the fundamental frequency. THDi is widely used to evaluate the power quality of electrical power systems and to describe the linearity of audio systems.
