1. Power Processing Battery Source AC gt IN OUT Fig Il 6 Bypass Operating Mode Definitions The following terms are used in this manual Review these definitions for a better understanding of the Symmetra Redundancy Indicates the presence of one or more extra power modules which allow the system to sustain a fault and still provide protection to the load To be fully redundant the system should be configured with a redundant intelligence module and at least one redundant power module Note The number of battery modules determines the length of the run time While it 1s prudent to use the maximum number of battery modules possible they are not considered redundant N 1 Redundancy Refers to the level of power module re dundancy N represents the number of power modules re quired to power the load and 1 2 etc represents the number of extra power modules that are present For example a 7 3 kVA load requires two power modules for adequate protection If the Symmetra is configured with only two modules it has an N 0 level of redundancy No redundancy If the system is configured with three power modules it has an N 1 redundancy Depending on the size of the load Symmetra can be configured with 2 3 or even 4 extra power modules Respectively it would have an N 2 N 3 or N 4 level of redundancy Capacity The maximum amount of output power th
