  • Patent number: 7508094
    Abstract: A power supply system includes an AC input configured to be coupled to an AC source, an AC output configured to be coupled to a load, a UPS having an input coupled to the AC input and an output coupled to the AC output and a bypass circuit coupled between the AC input and the AC output and configured to open and close a bypass path therebetween. The system further includes a controller configured to control the UPS and the bypass circuit such that the UPS operates as an online UPS for a first input voltage magnitude condition at the AC input and as a standby UPS for a second input voltage magnitude condition at the AC input. A multi-mode converter may be coupled to a DC link of the UPS and configured to be selectively coupled to a battery and the AC input to respectively support battery conversion and current control at the AC input in respective first and second modes of operation of the UPS.

  • Patent number: 7403364
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a fault condition detector configured to detect a fault condition in an electrical system, a delta d-q power value generator configured to generate a delta d-q power value temporally corresponding to the detected fault condition, and a characterizer circuit configured to characterize the fault condition relative to the apparatus responsive to the delta d-q power value. Methods can include detecting a fault condition in an electrical system and determining changes in d-q component voltage and current temporally corresponding to the detected fault condition. Such methods can further include characterizing the fault condition responsive to the determined first and second changes and controlling an apparatus based on characterizing the fault condition.
