INTegral Line-Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit—2kVA-T Power Innovations i
1—Introduction
The INTegral Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit (UPS) is a compact backup unit that supplies clean, reliable power
essential for operating equipment. Even when utility power fails, this system will supply backup power for three (3)
minutes or more at full load (see 6—Specifications).
1.1—Key Features
STANDARD FEATURES
Line-interactive sine wave topology
Intelligent charger
Compact size
Intelligent fan speed control
Cold Start
It is possible to have one (1) additional feature included on the INTegral, while others are not
included.

2.3—Power Flow
In the INTegral Line-Interactive UPS, AC utility power flows through two (2) main loops: the AC loop and the battery
charging loop (Figure 1).
2.3.1—Normal Power Mode
When functioning normally, the system will charge batteries to operate when utility power is unstable. Battery
charging from the utility supply provides a cost-effective means of providing reliable, uninterruptible power and
increasing UPS efficiency—saving you money.
In the AC loop, the power comes from AC utility input such as a wall outlet and passes through a static switch to
support power to the load, so long as power is clean and reliable.
In the battery charging loop (Figure 2), an AC/DC converter changes AC utility input voltage into DC power, which
charges the unit’s batteries.

Figure 3: Power Flow in Battery Backup Mode
2.3.2—Battery Backup Mode
In Battery Backup Mode, the AC output come from the battery. Battery voltage is boosted and converted to create a
clean, stable AC sine wave to power even the most sensitive equipment.
Power will pass from the battery through the DC/DC converter, DC/AC interver, and static switch to provide output for
the full length of the battery charge.
Actual backup time will vary, depending upon initial battery charge and current load percentage.
Manual Helps
See 6—Specifications for backup time estimates.

2—Receiving and Transporting Systems
Because the UPS supplies power, it must be handled carefully. For better product performance and to avoid injury, follow
the guidelines below.
2.1—Receiving
Inspect the packaging carton and its contents for damage. If the contents have been damaged, notify your reseller
immediately.
After removing the system, keep its packaging in a safe place for future use.
Caution
It would be best not to discard packaging materials, since it is recommended that the unit be
packaged in its original packaging for future shipping and transport.
2.2—Transporting
Disconnect all power cables and power down the unit before moving it.
While moving the unit, handle it carefully. The combined weight of the unit and its batteries can be significant.
It is recommended that the system be transported only in the original packaging.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Do not transport the unit while power cables are attached. Failure to heed this warning could
cause accidental injury or death from electrical shock.
Cautions
Save the original packaging and use it for transport. Using the correct packaging will prevent
unnecessary harm to the unit.
