1600XP Series Installation and Operation Manual
Battery Backup Time and Discharge Process
The UPS batteries provide approximately 5-7 minutes of back-up time depending on the 1600XP unit kVA
rating. These times are valid when the unit is operating under full load and at the rated power factor. The
exact length of these times will depend on the UPS model used, condition of the batteries, amount and
type of load, temperature and other variables. See battery backup time in ‘UPS Specications’ beginning
on page 19.
The following illustration graphically shows the battery discharge process at full load conditions.
Battery Low Voltage Tolerances
Excessive discharge will cause the UPS battery voltage to drop. The chart shown below lists the voltage
level at which each UPS low-voltage alarm will sound and at what level the low-voltage condition will
cause the unit to automatically shut down.
