Patent number: 7202576Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a UPS including a precharge circuit and a battery pack sensor electrically coupled to the precharge circuit. The sensor senses the presence of an extra battery pack. The precharge circuit includes: a first precharge contact; a capacitor having first and second leads, the first lead electrically coupled to the first contact; a second precharge contact electrically coupled to the second lead of the capacitor; a current limiting circuit having first and second leads, the first lead of the current limiting circuit electrically coupled to the first lead of the capacitor; and a third precharge contact electrically coupled to the second lead of the current limiting circuit. The UPS can further include an enclosure having a housing and a battery connector integral to the housing, the battery connector adapted to receive the first, second and third precharge contacts.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2003Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Joseph Dechene, Michael Manganese, Namwook Paik, Andrew Chase, Michael Lysik

Patent number: 6960842Abstract: The present invention provides an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) having a chassis formed using mating panels of a sturdy, lightweight, substantially rigid material, such as ABS plastic, that are fixedly attached together to form a compact, user-friendly chassis using simple connection techniques that entail a minimum of tools and a minimal number of fastening mechanisms. In one general aspect, a UPS in accordance with the invention comprises an input to receive AC power from an AC power source, an output that provides AC power, a DC voltage source that provides DC power, the DC voltage source having an energy storage device, an inverter operatively coupled to the DC voltage source to receive DC power and to provide AC power, a transfer switch constructed and arranged to select one of the AC power source and the DC voltage source as an output power source for the uninterruptible power supply, and a chassis for housing at least the DC voltage source, inverter, and transfer switch.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2003Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventors: William Ziegler, Michael Manganese, Paul A. Jordan, Mark Calvanese, Joseph Dechene
