Abstract:
A lighting equipment built-in on-line UPS capable of outputting AC sinusoidal power from a single DC source comprising:a system power circuit for supplying necessary power for inner components of the UPS; a power source detecting circuit for detecting the utility AC input; an electromagnetic switch; a DC to AC inverter circuit for inverting DC to AC output, and detecting the values of AC output voltage and current; an AC to DC converter circuit for converting incoming AC voltage to a high DC voltage and supplying it to said Dc to AC inverter circuit; a battery unit; a charging circuit for charging said battery unit; a controller circuit for sending pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to said DC to AC inverter circuit and receiving resultant data about output voltage and current of said DC to AC inverter so as to control said AC to DC converter, said charging circuit, and said electromagnetic switch; a DC to DC booster circuit for receiving the signal from said controller circuit and boosting up the low battery voltage to a higher DC voltage and then sending it to said DC to AC inverter circuit; a built-in lighting equipment for illuminating the surroundings with the power supplied by said DC to DC booster circuit; With this scheme, when there is a normal utility AC input, said power source detecting circuit sends a signal indicating said controller circuit to actuate said electromagnetic switch and said AC to DC converter circuit thereby supplying a DC current to both DC to AC inverter circuit and battery unit for charging, as soon as said battery unit has been fully charged, a signal is sent to notify said controller circuit that said charging circuit should stop charging so as to protect said battery unit from overcharging, in case the utility AC power source becomes abnormal and breaks down, the situation is detected by said power source detecting circuit which indicates said controller circuit to actuate said DC to DC booster circuit, said DC to DC booster circuit in turn boosts up the DC output voltage of said battery unit and sends it to said DC to AC inverter circuit so as to supply an emergency AC power to the connected loads, and at the same time, said built-in lighting equipment is started to illuminate the surroundings.
