LPS ARCHITECTURE FOR UPS SYSTEMS

摘要

At least some embodiments herein provide a UPS comprising an input, a transformer including at least one primary winding, a relay, a sense circuit, and a current control circuit, wherein the sense circuit is configured to monitor input power, control the relay to couple, in a first mode, the input to the at least one primary winding when input power is above an input threshold, and control the relay to decouple, in a second mode, the input from the at least one primary winding when input power is below the input threshold, and wherein the current control circuit is configured, in the first mode, to control current from an AC source through the at least one primary winding to generate an output voltage and, in the second mode, to control current from a DC source through the at least one primary winding to generate the output voltage.

1. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system, the UPS system comprising:
an input configured to be coupled to an AC power source; a transformer including:
at least one primary winding configured to be coupled to a DC power source; andat least one secondary winding; a relay configured to selectively couple the input to the at least one primary winding; a sense circuit coupled to the input and the relay; a current control circuit coupled to the at least one primary winding; and at least one output line coupled to the at least one secondary winding, wherein the sense circuit is configured to monitor a level of input AC power at the input, determine whether the level of input AC power is above an input power threshold level, control the relay to couple, in a first mode of operation of the UPS, the input to the at least one primary winding in response to a determination that the input AC power is above the input power threshold level, and control the relay to decouple, in a second mode of operation of the UPS, the input from the at least one primary winding in response to a determination that the input AC power is below the input power threshold level, and wherein the current control circuit is configured, in the first mode of operation of the UPS, to control current from the AC power source through the at least one primary winding to generate an output voltage at the at least one output line and, in the second mode of operation of the UPS, to control current from the DC power source through the at least one primary winding to generate the output voltage at the at least one output line.
