Earth fault test.
Transfer test.
Measurement of UPS output voltage quality. The test shall document proper function of the UPS voltage
regulation during switching between all different modes of operation.
Battery discharge test function shall be demonstrated.
Restart test.
Black-start of UPS system shall be demonstrated.
Audible noise test.
Measurements shall be made with and without cooling fans in operation.
If more than one identical UPS is ordered, only one UPS shall be subject to the sound level test. All UPS
ratings with forced cooling shall be subjected for this test. However, this test is not applicable for UPS
with nominal rating below 100 kVA (AN), or if the audible noise level is documented by type test
measurements on identical UPS.
