  • Methods, systems and devices for extending run-times of uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs)
    Patent number: 10985601
    Abstract: A system for providing power is provided including an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) coupled to a first power source, the UPS including at least one battery therein; at least one external battery module (EBM) coupled to the UPS and a second power source, the second power source being different and separate from the first power source. Each of the at least one EBMs include at least one battery string; and a super charger coupled to the at least one battery string and the at least one battery in the UPS, the super charger being configured to charge the at least one battery string and the at least one battery in the UPS when power from the first power source is removed. EBMs and UPSs are also provided herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 8, 2019

  • Detection of an AC input phase-loss on a multi-phase AC servo drive
    Patent number: 7480124
    Abstract: Systems and methods that detect a phase loss condition in a three-phase electrical power source are presented. The system includes a detection component that measures and/or monitors a magnitude and frequency of a voltage of a power source, and a controller component that compares measured and/or monitored voltage characteristics to characteristics associated with phase loss.
