the internal control system and operator controls, provide specified AC power to a load.
INVERTER - The UPS components which contain the equipment and controls necessary to
convert DC power from the Converter / Charger, or the battery, to AC power required by the
critical load.
CONVERTER / CHARGER - The UPS components which contain the equipment and controls
necessary to convert input AC power to regulated DC power required for battery charging and for
supplying power to the Inverter.
STATIC TRANSFER SWITCH - The device which connects the critical load to the bypass line
