Publication number: 20130069504Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2012Publication date: March 21, 2013Applicant: AMERICAN POWER CONVERSION CORPORATIONInventors: James Briggs, David Schuttler, Srdan Mutabdzija, Michael Falcinelli

Patent number: 7713157Abstract: An alternator system includes an input shaft, a planetary gear assembly, a variable resistance generator, and a control unit. The alternator assembly is structured to produce an output current having a frequency. The planetary gear assembly disposed between, and operatively coupled to, the input shaft and the alternator assembly. The planetary gear assembly has a planet gear carrier body with an outer radial surface having teeth. The variable resistance generator has an external generator shaft with a generator gear. The generator gear is structured to engage the outer radial surface teeth. The control unit structured to detect the frequency of the alternator assembly output current and to alter the resistance of the generator. The control unit is structured to maintain the frequency of the alternator assembly output current within a selected range by increasing or decreasing the resistance of the generator.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2007Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Jerome Kenneth Hastings, Roger James Briggs, Vijay Bhavaraju
