Working and Operation of UPS Connection

(1) When utility power is not available from power house

In this case, electric supply will continue through Phase wire (Output of UPS) which is connected to the
batteries and UPS and then to electrical appliances (Note that Neutral is already connected). So the first
one phase wire which has already connected before UPS installation (i.e. Live Wire from Main board to
UPS) would be inactive because power supply is not available from power house. In this case, connected
electrical appliances through the live wire from UPS / Inverter consume the stored electrical energy in
the batteries without interruption.

(2) When power supply restores from power grid

Then power supply will continue through the Phase wire (Note that Neutral is already connected) which
is connected to the UPS from main board (it will charge your battery as well) and then from UPS to
connected electrical appliances. So the second one (phase or live wire) which is connected after UPS
installation (i.e. One Live Wire from UPS) would be inactive because power supply is not available from
UPS and batteries (Because it is Automatic UPS System).
