  • Patent number: 9667097
    Abstract: According to one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a method of operating a UPS system, the method comprising receiving, at an input of a first UPS, input power from a power source, generating, with a first analysis circuit, a first signal indicative of a characteristic of the input power, receiving, at the analysis circuit, a second signal from a second analysis circuit of a device coupled to the power source, the second signal indicative of a characteristic of input power received at the second analysis circuit, analyzing with the analysis circuitry, the first signal and the second signal, determining, whether an improper wiring condition exists at the input, in response to a determination that an improper wiring condition does not exist, providing output power to an output of the first UPS, and in response to a determination that an improper wiring condition does exist, de-energizing the first UPS.

  • Patent number: 9373979
    Abstract: Systems and methods of operating uninterruptible power supplies in parallel in a power distribution system to provide power to a load are provided. At least one uninterruptible power supply inverter provides power to the load. A communication interface provides a measured value of at least one of inverter output current of a first uninterruptible power supply and a measured value of the load current to a second uninterruptible power supply, and receives a measured value of at least one of inverter output current of the second uninterruptible power supply and the load current. A controller controls the uninterruptible power supplies to operate in one of a master state and a slave state.

  • Patent number: 8116105
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for distributing power to a load by controlling an uninterruptible power supply that has an inverter and a filter, where the filter has an inductor and a capacitor. The systems and methods apply a pulse width modulation control signal to the inverter, sample inverter inductor current and compare the inductor current to a reference current. A duty cycle of the pulse width modulation control signal is adjusted to drive the inductor current at a second sampling time to a value substantially equal to a reference current at a first sampling time. The systems and methods can filter harmonic distortion from output signals and control uninterruptible power supply output.
