200103046 120V APS MV-cabinetEn-Sp 93-1911.qxd 7/2/01 10:18 AM Page 2 Introduction Congratulations! You’ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich integrated inverter/battery charger on the market. Your APS provides your equipment with utility-supplied AC power when it is available, and during blackouts, overvoltages and brownouts, your APS automatically switches over to an external battery source to power connected equipment with voltage and frequency- controlled AC power. In addition to r

If an APS is supplying its full AC power rating to its connected load at the same time as it is charging, it could trip its line source circuit breaker. Tripping this breaker will cut off AC power to your load and st
