Appendix C: System Overload Rating
The 1700 Series Rackmount UPS is capable of supporting short duration
overloads. When operating in the On Line mode output overloading of
125% of the rated output current can be supported for 1 minute, and
150% for 30 seconds. If the overload continues the unit will switch to
bypass mode. When in bypass mode the 1700 Series overload capacity
is limited by the input breaker. The following graph shows the response
of the breaker depending on the applied load. The two lines shown on
the graph represent the upper and lower limits of the breaker response.
The response of a particular breaker could fall anywhere between these
two lines.
If the load capacity of the breaker is exceeded the breaker will trip,
shutting down both the UPS and the attached loads. If the breaker’s
capacity is not exceeded the unit will continue to operate in the bypass
mode until the applied load is reduced. When the load on the UPS is
reduced to within the specified limits the UPS will automatically return to
On Line mode.
