Eaton provides synchronization options to ensure the outputs of separate single Eaton UPSs or systems remain in-phase. Use of these synchronization options allows uninterrupted transfer of the critical load from one UPS-protected bus to another by means of downstream dual source static transfer switches.
When a critical load is supplied from dual UPS-protected buses, static transfer switches are commonly used to instantly transfer power to the available bus, should one fail. If the buses become out of phase with each other, the transfer will not be seamless but there will be a short interruption. Eaton’s load synchronization options prevent the UPS outputs becoming out of phase with each other, which could happen e.g. when the inputs feeding each UPS system are not in sync with each other.
