Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus comprising a controller, a load, a battery, and a DC link. The DC link is coupled to the load, couplable to the battery, and couplable to an external power source. The load comprises an electrical component. The controller is configured to: evaluate a component startup criterion relating to whether the electrical component is performing a startup process, evaluate a source capability criterion relating to a capability of the external power source to supply power to the DC link, and in response to a determination, that the component startup criterion has been met and the source capability criterion has not been met, operate the apparatus in a protected startup mode in which the battery provides power to the DC link.
