Zusammenfassung:	An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is provided. The UPS system includes a plurality of UPSs, a ring bus that electrically couples the UPSs together, a static switch coupled between an associated UPS of the UPSs and the ring bus, and a controller. The controller receives current data representative of an inverter current and a load current associated with the associated UPS. An output capacitor of the associated UPS is coupled to a node that conducts the inverter current and the load current. The controller further calculates a measured current based on the received current data, determines a voltage of said output capacitor, generates a derived current based on the determined voltage and a predetermined capacitance of said output capacitor, compares the measured current and the derived current to identify a fault location, and controls said static switch based on the identified fault location.
