    摘要: A back-up uninterruptible power system has a power supply path from input terminals connected to AC power system lines to normally supply power to a load. Upon the occurrence of a line fault, a static switch in the power supply path interrupts the connection between the AC power lines and the load and an inverter is turned on to provide power derived from an auxiliary battery through a transformer to the power supply path to supply AC power to the load. By using the static switch, switching from line connection to backup power can be done quickly, within a half cycle, so that substantially no interruption of the output waveform is observed. The inverter can be operated to provide a commutation pulse to the SCRs in the static switch to commutate an SCR which might otherwise continue conducting after the triggering signals to the gates are cut off and before the inverter supplies the AC power to the load. A relay connected between the input terminals and the static switch is controlled to open relay contacts after the static switch has interrupted the current flow to the load, thereby providing positive electrical isolation of the AC power system from the uninterruptible power system while allowing the mechanical relay contacts to switch only during times of no current. Line fault detection is carried out by creating a digital waveform composed of an average of prior cycles of the AC input waveform, converting the stored waveform to an analog signal, and comparing it with the present input signal in phase lock therewith to detect deviation of the input signal from the reference waveform.

    摘要: The run-time on battery power available from an uninterruptible power system is accurately determined both during supply of power from the battery through an inverter to the load and during the time where power is supplied directly from an AC power system to the load. During power outages where power is supplied from the battery through the inverter to the load, the output voltage of the battery is directly measured as is the output current supplied to the load. The remaining run-time is determined utilizing the measured battery voltage, the measured output current, and system specifications including the full charge open circuit voltage of the battery, the allowable lower limit of battery voltage, and constants which are characteristic of the uninterruptible power supply and the battery. When power is supplied from the AC power system to the load, the open circuit voltage of the battery is measured initially, and then during the time that the battery is being recharged the open circuit battery voltage is calculated based on the initial open circuit voltage adjusted by a factor porportional to the time that the battery has been charged. The calculated open circuit voltage is used to calculate a battery voltage under load conditions by subtracting a term proportional to output current. These estimates are then utilized to calculate run-time in a manner similar to that used to calculate run-time when the battery is loaded. Thus, the inverter need not be turned on to supply power to the load solely for the purpose of testing the battery.

    摘要: A load tap changer includes a single mechanical switch that is movable to create, in a first position, a first conducting path between a first transformer tap and a load. When the switch is in a second position, the switch creates a second conducting path between a second transformer tap and the load. A first thyristor pair or other device creates a first alternate conducting path between the first transformer tap and the load when the switch is disengaged from the first position. A second thyristor pair or other device creates a second alternate conducting path between the second transformer tap and the load when the mechanical switch is disengaged from the second position. Each thyristor pair may be selectively triggered to provide a conducting path when voltage across either thyristor pair exceeds a predetermined level. A gate trigger circuit may be included for each thyristor pair, and a gate control circuit may control each of the gate trigger circuits.

    摘要: A control for an AC circuit protection system which is capable of monitoring either single phase or polyphase current flow. The composite current envelope is periodically sampled and the sample values converted into digital form. Succeeding current signals are tested to determine whether they deviate from previous samples by a given amount. Non-deviant samples increment a first counter, while deviant samples increment a second counter. The ratio of the counts is used to recognize current imbalance and control system parameters are adjusted to compensate for the imbalance.

    摘要: Presented is a center switching circuit and an inverter and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) utilizing same. The center switching circuit selectively enables and disables power flow to and from the bus capacitors of an inverter or UPS. As such, the center switching circuitry effectively removes the bus capacitors from the circuit. This allows operation of the inverter or UPS in a high efficiency mode whereby input line voltage may be passed essentially without compensation to the output when the center switching circuit is open. Modulation of the center switching circuit during this mode provides soft charging of the bus capacitors so that they are available to source current in a double-conversion or DC boost mode upon degradation or loss of the line voltage. To supply output power from the bus capacitors, the center switching circuit is closed to associate these capacitors with the neutral. Fault isolation is provided during operation by opening the center switching circuit to prevent power flow from the bus capacitors.

    摘要: Instabilities in the output voltage provided from an AC power supply system such as an uninterruptible power supply connected to a power factor correcting load are suppressed by a dynamic voltage regulation stabilizer system which is connected across the output lines from the power supply system to the load. The DVR stabilizer system includes a rectifier connected to the power supply system output lines. A capacitor is connected across the output nodes of the rectifier. Switching devices form a bridge that connects the capacitor to the output lines. Selected switching devices in the bridge are turned on for a selected duration encompassing the time of the peak of each half-cycle of the AC voltage waveform provided by the power supply system. During normal operation, where the peak AC voltage from the power supply system is substantially constant, the capacitor charges up through the rectifier to a voltage level near the peak value of the AC voltage waveform. When the peak AC voltage level rises above the normal peak level, the capacitor clamps the voltage across the output lines at a value near the steady state peak value. When the peak voltage level drops below the normal peak value, the capacitor discharges through the switching device bridge during the peak of the half-cycle to fill in for the voltage drop. The DVR stabilizer system thus reduces the effect of interactions between the power supply system and the PFC load, to thereby dampen oscillations and stabilize the AC voltage waveform.

    摘要: The run-time available from an uninterruptible power system is accurately determined both during supply of power from the battery to the load and during the time where power is supplied directly from an AC power system to the load. During power outages, where power is supplied from the battery through the inverter to the load, the remaining run-time is first estimated by calculation and then corrected by modification of the calculated value according to the reciprocal of the run-time slope. Alternatively, a scaling factor is used as part of the first run-time calculations and a correction factor which applies more corrective weight as the time on inverter progresses may be used. During power outages and when power is supplied from the AC power system to the load the maximum available run-time is extrapolated from a table of values representing maximum available run-times at various levels of power being supplied to the load from a fully charged battery. These values are updated after inverter runs to reflect actual system run-times. The maximum run-times are thereby adapted to reflect battery aging and other unique characteristics of the system.

    摘要: An inexpensive power supply for an electconic control system or the like which is capable of converting a wide range of applied AC voltages into a regulated output voltage. A thyristor is coupled in series with an input terminal and a threshold device, such as a Zener diode, placed across the input terminals and paralleled by an RC circuit coupled to the thyrisor gate. Another capacitor is coupled to the thyristor cathode. A ramp-like voltage impressed on the thyristor gate effects triggering at a phase angle which varies in accordance with output voltage. The electronic control system outputs a uniform train of pulses which serve to disable a circuit interrupter. Termination or disruption of the pulse train causes the interrupter to open the protected circuit.

    摘要: A static polyphase inverter for supplying variable frequency, variable magnitude voltage to a load such as a polyphase motor has a transistor chopper between a unidirectional power source and an inverter bridge having n phase legs each of which includes a load current carrying controlled rectifier in series with the emitter-collector path of a transistor switch and the junction therebetween connected a phase winding of the motor; time ratio controlling means including a constant frequency oscillator for modulating the chopper at the constant oscillator frequency and for regulating the width of pulses conducted by the chopper as a function of the magnitude of an analog command signal; means for selectively controlling the switching frequency of the load current carrying controlled rectifiers as a function of the magnitude of the analog command signal to establish the inverter fundamental output frequency; means for intermittently applying a bias source in opposite polarity to the anode-cathode path of the controlled rectifiers when the transistor chopper is off to commutate them when they are not carrying load current; and means for synchronizing the switching of the chopper to the modulation frequency so the chopper is reset at the beginning of each half cycle of modulation frequency.
