**) The total input current is the sum of the output current, the current which is required to charge the battery during the
charging process and the current which is needed to supply the DC-UPS itself. See also Fig. 5-2. This calculation does not apply
in overload situations where the DC-UPS limits the output current, therefore see Fig. 5-3.

Electronic output current limitation
The DC-UPS is equipped with an electronic output
current limitation. This current limitation works
in a switching mode which reduces the power
losses and heat generation to a minimum. As a
result, the output voltage drops since there is not
enough current to support the load. A positive
effect of the current limitation in switching mode
is that the input current goes down despite an
increase in the output current resulting in less
stress for the supplying source.

All parameters are specified at an input voltage of 24V, 10A output load, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time
unless otherwise noted. It is assumed that the input power source can deliver a sufficient output current.

7. OUTPUT IN BUFFER MODE
If the input voltage falls below a certain value (transfer threshold level), the DC-UPS starts buffering without any
interruption or voltage dips. Buffering is possible even if the battery is not fully charged.

max. 21A Load impedance 100mOhm **)
*) If the output current is in the range between 10A and 15A for longer than 5s, a hardware controlled reduction of the
maximal output current to 10A occurs. If the 10A are not sufficient to maintain the 24V, buffering stops after another 5s. The
buffering is possible again as soon as the input voltage recovers.
**) If the nominal output voltage cannot be maintained in buffer mode, the DC-UPS switches off after 5s to save battery
capacity.
