I learned something new today. A new customer that we are doing a second floor build-out of unused space was going to have us re-feed their UPS because they said it wasn't on their generator. I looked into it and the entire building is actually on the generator (277/480V, 800A), how they didn't know that is beyond me. But the real kicker is when the building goes to generator, the 100A, 120/208V UPS will not connect to the generator power and shuts down after about 15 minutes when the batteries are depleted. Both the Gen-set and the UPS are well known brands too. A quick search reveals that this is a common issue with UPS systems and generators.
I guess I have to find the exact model of the UPS and see if the settings can be changed to accept generator power that fluctuates slightly. Anyone else have this issue before?
