AC Power Supplies • Applications • Standby source for “critical” loads (computer) • Primary source when normal ac not available • Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) • 2 common configurations
Operating Modes • Normal condition • Main supply applied to the load • Rectifier keeps batteries charged • Main supply failure • Inverter supplies power to the load • When interruption is over, main supply is applied to the load
Operating Modes • Normal condition • Inverter operates continuously, powering the load • Rectifier maintains the charge on the batteries • Inverter conditions the supply to the load • Inverter failure • Main supply powers the load
Operating Conditions • Main supply failure • Battery supplies the inverter • Inverter powers the load • Normal conditions • Inverter operates as a bridge rectifier • Main supply powers the load
Types of AC Power Supplies • Switched-mode • Resonant • Bidirectional
Features of the Switched-Mode Configuration • Two inverters • Input side: operates at high-frequency • Reduces size of transformer and DC filter components at the input of the output-side inverter
Features of the Switched-Mode Configuration • Two inverters continued • Output side: operates at output frequency
Features of the Resonant AC Power Supply • Two inverters • Input side is a resonant inverter • Output side operates with PWM control at the output frequency
Features of the Bidirectional AC Power Supply • Output inverter and Rectifier are combined into a cycloconverter (converts one frequency ac into another frequency ac) • Power flow in either direction
Multistage Conversions (continued) • Four conversions • AC-DC – DC-AC – AC-DC – DC-AC • Ultimately an AC – AC Conversion
