  • Patent number: 12166376
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a power supply management system adapted for use with at least one utility proxy power source, to control powering first and second loads when an AC mains power source is not available to provide power to the loads. The system uses an internal DC bus of a power converter to receive power from a utility proxy, and a DC/DC converter/charger of the power converter to receive power from a short term supplemental battery subsystem. The DC/DC converter/charger is used to supply a first AC output signal to power the first load. An AC/DC rectifier of the power converter uses the DC power from the utility proxy, supplied onto the internal bus, to generate a second AC output signal which is applied independently to the second load to power the second load fully independently of the first load.

  • Patent number: 9000613
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply includes a rectifier coupled to an input of an uninterruptible power supply and converts a first alternating current having a first alternating current voltage to a direct current. An inverter is coupled to an output of the uninterruptible power supply and converts the direct current to a second alternating current having a second alternating current voltage. A bypass switch bypasses the rectifier and the inverter and provides a bypass power from the input to the output when in a bypass state. A control module switches the bypass switch to the bypass state when in a bypass mode and switches the bypass switch to a non-bypass state when in a UPS mode. The control module adjusts the second alternating current voltage between first and second voltage levels when in an adaptive voltage control mode after switching from the bypass mode to the UPS mode.
