A power supply that provides a source of backup AC voltage and a method of operating thereof. In one embodiment, the power supply includes a transformer having main power and backup power windings and a secondary winding. The power supply also includes multiple stages, namely, (1) a primary power stage coupled to the main power winding, (2) a backup power stage coupled to the backup power winding and having a backup battery, one of the primary and backup power stages acting as a current fed source and (3) an AC power stage, coupled to the secondary winding, that provides a source of AC voltage.
