Chapter 7 Understanding UPS Operation
The Powerware 9315 is a continuous duty, solid‐state UPS that supports the
following equipment: process control, data processing, telecommunications/PBX,
research, and medical. The Powerware 9315 maintains power to the critical loads
during commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage,
and out‐of‐tolerance frequency conditions.
In this manual, the power required by your equipment is called the critical load. The UPS
supplies the critical load with conditioned power that is synchronized with your utility
power. Figure 7‐1 shows the main elements of the UPS system.

Figure 7‐1. Main Elements of the UPS System
The emergency bypass consists of a static switch, a wraparound bypass breaker
(CB4) and a Backfeed Protection Breaker (FBP). The FBP is located in series with the
static switch and opens so that the UPS cannot backfeed the bypass source.
For manual transfers to bypass, the static switch is not used. During the transfer, CB4
is closed and verified and then inverter output breaker CB3 is opened. For transfers of
the load from bypass to the UPS, CB3 is closed and verified and then CB4 is opened.
The static switch is armed and ready during both types of transfers.
