  UPS Systems in Industrial Applications
Since the inverter supplies power to the load at all times and the battery is in parallel with the inverter input, when a power failure occurs the rectifier/charger merely stops operating and the battery picks up the load instantly, resulting in no power interruption at all.
Regulating the DC bus to the static inverter improves reliability by limiting the inverterÅs exposure to low voltage excursions (since voltage and current have inversely proportional relationships, low voltage on the inverter input means increased input current which can cause premature thermal failure of the semiconductors in the inverter bridge circuit).
The static transfer switch is a critical component with respect to load "uptime" as it allows an unbroken transfer of the load from inverter to alternate source and vice versa in the event of overcurrent, inverter failure or removal of the UPS from service for maintenance.

 POWER AND POWER FACTOR IN AN AC CIRCUIT
Static power factor correction should provide capacitive current equal to 80% of the magnetising current, which is essentially the open shaft current of the motor.
Static correction is commonly applied by using on e contactor to control both the motor and the capacitors.
Static Power factor correction can be calculated from known motor characteristics for any given motor, either the magnetising current and supply voltage (method 1) or half load efficiency and half load power factor(method 2), or, as a last resort, table values can be used.

 "What is Power Factor?
Static correction is commonly applied by using one contactor to control both the motor and the capacitors.
Many inverter manufacturers quote a cos Ø of better than 0.95 and this is generally true, however the current is non sinusoidal and the resultant harmonics cause a power factor (KW/KVA) of closer to 0.7 depending on the input design of the inverter.
It is recommended that capacitors should be at least 75 Meters away from inverter inputs to elevate the impedance between the inverter and capacitors and reduce the potential damage caused.

 Probing the Mysteries of the Inverter, Part One   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Induction motors, for example, are designed to work on the purest type of AC current—the sine wave—and when the transistors in an inverter deliver a square wave (which represents at a minimum, a distortion of 40% from the sine wave) to one of these devices, the motor must work harder to overcome the counterproductive currents.
Inverter design and selection is further complicated by the fact that not all AC loads react equally to alternating voltage.
The frequency of a self-commutated inverter is locked onto the line frequency by phasing the operation of the electronic switches with the AC input.

 A typical UPS system, which may be referred to as, Uninteruptible power supplies, Uninteruptable power supplies, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The connection between the rectifier/battery and inverter is often known as the dc busbar, or dc bus.
As the load is powered from the inverter under normal circumstances it is well protected from input supply aberrations because the rectifier and inverter act as a barrier to mains borne noise and transient voltage excursions, in addition to providing a well regulated output voltage.
While feeding the overload under these circumstances the inverter operates in a current-limit mode and its output voltage may be reduced deliberately, but in most cases this is preferable to total power loss and of course conditions will return to normal if the overload is cleared during the allotted time.

 HVDC - Engineering - a Wikia wiki
At smaller transmission distances the losses in the static inverters may be bigger than in an AC powerline, and the cost of the inverters may not be offset by reductions in line construction cost.
A back-to-back station is a plant in which both static inverters are in the same area, usually even in the same building and the length of the direct current line is only a few meters.
The controllability of current-flow through HVDC rectifiers and inverters, their application in connecting unsynchronized networks, and their applications in efficient under sea cables mean that HVDC cables are often used at national boundaries for the exchange of power.
