RE: Master guard UPS . Inverter Backpower Alarm.
A similar alarm from the GE Sitepro which I do know quite well:
"Back-feed Protection
All SitePro UPS's are equipped with an automatic system for the protection against voltage back feeding towards Utility, through the bypass (Applied Standard IEC 62040-1).
This protection works automatically by opening contactor K6 (in series with the thyristors of the static switch) and eventually K7, and acts in case of internal defects of the system, or due to wrong manipulations on the maintenance bypass Q2."
