UPS efficiency: double-conversion vs bypass-ECO / active high-efficiency mode
94-97% → 98-99%observed
| Value kind | observed — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Bypass-style ECO (inverter on standby, short break on transfer) and active high-efficiency modes (inverter energized, conditioning held, uninterrupted transfer) are different products that both reach ~98-99%. Contemporary double-conversion designs reach ~97%, so the recoverable delta is product- and load-dependent — take it from measured efficiency curves and acceptance tests, not from the mode name. |
