  • Patent number: 11936237
    Abstract: In an uninterruptible power supply apparatus, AC current, which includes a feedback component having a value corresponding to deviation between terminal-to-terminal voltage of a capacitor and reference voltage, and a feed forward component obtained by multiplying load current by a gain, is passed into a converter such that the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor becomes the reference voltage. The gain is set to a first gain in an inverter power feed mode and a bypass power feed mode, and the gain is set to a second gain smaller than the first gain in a switching period of switching between the inverter power feed mode and the bypass power feed mode, to prevent the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor from exceeding an upper limit voltage in a lap power feed mode.

  • Publication number: 20240075510
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tail end buckling suppression device for a tandem rolling mill rolling a material to be rolled by N (N?2) successive rolling stands. Each i-th rolling stand (1?i?N) of the tandem rolling mill includes an i-th roll bender device screwing down the material to be rolled with preset roll bender pressure. During a period after a tail end of the material to be rolled comes out of one designated j-th rolling stand (1?j?N?1) until the tail end of the material to be rolled comes out of the N-th rolling stand, the tail end buckling suppression device causes each of j+1-th to N-th roll bender devices downstream of the j-th rolling stand to continuously lower the roll bender pressure.

  • Patent number: 11923723
    Abstract: In the uninterruptible power supply, when the input switch is connected between the input terminal and the AC node of the converter and the fourth operation mode is selected, the input switch is turned off and the bypass switch is turned on, and the converter is controlled to convert the DC power of the battery into AC power and supply the AC power to the load via the bypass switch. Thus, even if the inverter is failed when the commercial AC power source is failed, it is possible to drive the load.
