Patent number: 8854824Abstract: A modular UPS system is provided wherein UPS systems may be constructed using a number of different frame components. In one example, a core UPS frame is provided that can accept different combinations of power and battery modules, and an extension frame is provided that can be combined with the core frame to provide a larger UPS system. According to one example, both the core and extension frame types may be used in either a standalone or rack-mounted configuration. Another aspect relates to packaging of UPS components such that the UPS frame need not include serviceable items. In another aspect, a rail system is provided that allows for easier installation of heavy components into rack-mount systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2012Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Schneider Electric IT CorporationInventors: James Briggs, David Schuttler, Srdan Mutabdzija, Michael Falcinelli

Patent number: 7911088Abstract: An improved battery, monitoring circuit and method for communicating with the battery is provided. Such batteries and communication methods are particularly useful in UPS systems that use such batteries to provide back-up power to electrical loads. In one aspect, performance, manufacturing, trend and/or other data are stored in non-volatile memory of the battery and are communicated to an external system such as a UPS. In another aspect, a method for communicating via single-wire interface is provided. In one aspect, a same interface is used to communicate with both conventional batteries and improved batteries having increased monitoring capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2009Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Srdan Mutabdzija, Eyob Demissie, Francis J.
