3.3.6 Off Battery
The battery plant can be disconnected from the UPS modules, if required for battery maintenance, by
opening the module battery disconnect (MBD) circuit breaker(s). In this situation the UPS system
will continue to supply conditioned power to the critical load, but if input power fails the UPS system
cannot supply power to the load.
Figure 58 Load on UPS—battery not available
!
CAUTION
When the UPS system is operating with the module battery disconnect (MBD) circuit
breaker(s) open, the critical load is not protected from loss of the utility source power.
For battery maintenance on multi-module systems, Liebert recommends taking the
module requiring maintenance off-line before beginning the work. This precaution will
minimize disturbances on the system bus if input power fails during the maintenance
work.
