UPS
Major Parts of an UPS
Following are the main components of a UPS system −
Battery − The battery works as the energy storage unit in the UPS system. It provides the stored electrical energy for a sufficient amount of time during main power failure.
Rectifier or Charger Circuit − It converts the supply voltage of 240 VAC into 12 V (or any other battery voltage) DC. It supplies this rectified DC power to the battery for storage.
Inverter − It converts the DC output power of the battery into ac power to supply the load during mains power failure.
Static Switch − It is a semiconductor device such as a thyristor which transfers the load from the utility to the inverter (and the inverter to the utility) without any interruption in the power supply to the load.
