For 20K, 40K, 80K PX:

If the EPO circuit in the Symmetra PX is activated the System Enable Switch turns to the off position, the DC Breaker in the Main Frame or in the XR Frame (80kw units only) will trip. Mains feed CB will be tripped on ISX PDU. There is no power on the output of the XR Battery Frames or on the output of the Symmetra PX UPS.

An EPO event is not recorded in the Event Log.
