Abstract
According to one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a UPS system comprising an input, an output, a neutral connection, an AVR transformer, relays configured to selectively couple a primary winding of the AVR transformer to the input and the output, a bypass relay configured to selectively couple the primary winding to the neutral connection, a DC/AC inverter, and a controller configured to operate the relays, the bypass relay, and the DC/AC inverter to provide output AC power derived from at least one of input AC power and backup DC power, wherein in a backup power mode, the controller is further configured to operate the DC/AC inverter to convert the backup DC power into AC power provided to a secondary winding of the AVR transformer, to monitor the AC output power, and to identify that the bypass relay has decoupled the primary winding from the neutral connection.
