3. Online UPS
An ONLINE UPS is the one in which the inverter always supplies power to the protected load
and hence the same quality of power is ensured all the time. When mains supply is present, the
inverter derives its power from thee mians supplied rectifier and the backup batteries are also
kept in charged state. When the mains fail, the sources of DC power for the inverter section shifts
to the battery without any break whatsoever in the output to the Inverter. It also bears all the
vagaries and noise borne out of the mains supply and insulates the secure bus supply from it.
An ONLINE UPS is especially useful for sensitive and critical equipments/devices.
Working of UPS:
The major modules of a common UPS are as following
1) An AC to DC power converter (Rectifier) with PFC control circuit
2) A DC to AC power high frequency inverter
3) An Intelligent Battery Charger
