NOTE 1 This document recognises that continuity of load power to information technology (IT) equipment represents a major UPS application. The UPS output characteristics specified in this document are therefore also aimed at ensuring compatibility with the requirements of IT equipment. This, subject any limitation stated in the manufacturer’s declaration, includes requirements for steady state and transient voltage variation as well as for the supply of both linear and non-linear load characteristics of IT equipment.
NOTE 2 Test loads specified in this document simulate both linear and non-linear load characteristics. Their use permits verification of the performance declared by the manufacturer while minimising complexity and energy consumption during the tests.
NOTE 3 This document is aimed at 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications but does not exclude other frequency applications within the domain of IEC 60196. This is subject to an agreement between manufacturer and purchaser with respect to any particular requirements arising.
