    Abstract: A power drive circuit includes a power conversion module, a plurality of gate drivers, a waveform processing unit, a control unit, a weighting unit, and a comparator. Each gate driver includes a drive resistance setting value. The waveform processing unit outputs a current absolute value waveform of an AC power. The weighting unit generates a trigger voltage. When the comparator determines that the current absolute value waveform is greater than the trigger voltage, the comparator outputs a slew rate control signal to each of the gate drivers. When the gate driver receives the slew rate control signal, each of the gate drivers decreases the drive resistance setting value of the gate driver.

    Abstract: A power supply apparatus is coupled to an AC power source, a critical load, and a general load. The power supply apparatus includes a UPS, a generator system, a power conversion system, and a controller. The power conversion system includes a first power conversion path and a second power conversion path. The first power conversion path is connected to the critical load and an output side, and the second power conversion path is connected to the general load and an input side. The first power conversion path and the second power conversion path are jointly connected to a DC bus. When the controller determines that the AC power source is abnormal, the controller controls disconnecting the AC power source, and activates the UPS to supply power to the critical load so as to enable the first power conversion path and disable the second power conversion path.

    Abstract: A power system includes a pulse width modulation device. The pulse width modulation device outputs first, second, third and fourth driving signals. The pulse width modulation device receives a control signal. The control signal is divided into a positive periodic signal and a negative periodic signal. A portion of the positive periodic signal higher than or equal to a maximum threshold voltage is clamped as the maximum threshold voltage to generate a first comparison waveform. The positive periodic signal is clamped as the reference voltage level to generate a second comparison waveform. According to the first comparison waveform, a first ramp signal is generated. According to the second comparison waveform, a first pulse width modulation signal is generated. The first, second, third and fourth driving signals are adjusted according to the first ramp signal and the first pulse width modulation signal.
