I’d never run an Eaton PowerWare UPS in “economy” mode where it bypasses the double-conversion stage unless it detects an outage or sustained bad power quality.

The whole idea of a double-conversion UPS is isolation from shit on the grid that’s only suprassed by something like a motor-generator/flywheel system.

@DeltaWye A few percent losses plus a few dozen watts IIRC. I can't wait for the SiC SSCB-based UPSs to come out. "Economy mode" with μs response time to transient excursions.
