Cell - The basic electrochemical unit used to generate or store electrical energy.
Bypass (automatic) - In the event of an overload or an unlikely UPS problem, your application is still powered, thanks to the automatic bypass module.
Inverter (on-line) - UPS configuration in which the inverter is in series mounted between the mains and the load. All power drawn by the load passes via the inverter. This is the only configuration used for high outputs.
Voltage Depression - An abnormal drop in voltage below expected values during the discharge of a battery.
Voltage Reversal - The changing of the normal polarity of a battery due to overdischarge.
Anode - The electrode in an electrochemical cell where oxidation takes place. During discharge, the negative electrode of the cell is the anode. During charge, the positive electrode is the anode.
Bypass (manual) - Manually-operated switch used to supply the load via direct connection to utility power during servicing of the UPS system.
