UPS - Uninterrupted Power Supply

Some time disturbance of power supply creates a number of problems.  Especially in sensitive departments such as Radar System, Hospitals, Telephone exchanges and industries etc.

In below UPS block diagram typical stand by power supply system with T/F arrangement automatically  provide the energy if the normal voltage fails. Stand by power supply system are off-line or stand by at normal position. During normal operation the incoming voltages are rectified by rectifier circuit  and supply to the battery for charging and also applied to the inverter which changes the DC voltages in to AC power, if commercial power is interrupted the battery provides power to the inverter circuit, therefore the UPS system is always final source for the load.
