  • Patent number: 9519560
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for detecting if a remote device is associated with a power supply. The system may have a controller having machine readable, non-transitory executable code running thereon for varying a characteristic of a signal being applied to the power supply. The controller further may be configured to compare a measurement obtained from a measurement subsystem relating to a measured signal present at the remote device. The controller may also be configured to make a comparison between the signal being applied to the power supply and the measured signal obtained at the remote device, and to determine whether the remote device is electrically associated with the power supply.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8519567
    Abstract: A system and method of isolating an uninterruptible power supply system is disclosed that comprises bypassing an inverter section of the power supply to couple primary power to a load bus; and, thereafter, isolating the power supply by simultaneously uncoupling the power supply from the load bus and coupling the primary power to the load bus.

  • Patent number: 8373306
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system that may incorporate a battery subsystem including at least one battery for generating electrical power, and a UPS subsystem including at least one power module. At least one first bus system may couple the battery subsystem to the UPS subsystem to supply electrical power to the UPS subsystem. An input and output (I/O) subsystem is in communication with an output of the UPS subsystem for generating an output signal. At least one second bus system may be used for coupling the output of the UPS subsystem to the I/O subsystem. At least one of the first and second bus systems may include a pair of parallel coupled, independent busses, and may further have a tie bar for enabling the pair of busses to be reconfigured as a single bus.

  • Patent number: 6100605
    Abstract: A UPS device of universal application provides a pair of backfeed relays, which are mandated by certain countries outside the United States, controlled by an overall control circuit to perform in conjunction with the connection of neutral to system ground to avoid damage to a load, UPS and power utility. The control circuit is responsive to an anomaly in the power supply of a power utility to enter a backup mode wherein power is supplied by a battery power supply through an inverter to the load. Entry into backup mode occurs with a delay-based switching logic which governs the control circuit's operation of the backfeed relays and formation of the neutral to system ground connection.
