Publication number: 20250226688Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for power conversion. In some examples, the power conversion may be done by an inverter configured to convert a direct current (DC) input to an alternating current (AC) output. The inverter may include a plurality of capacitors connected at the input of a DC/AC module. The system may include a housing configured to house the inverter. Voltage control circuitry may be configured to increase a voltage at the input of the DC/AC module inside the housing of the inverter.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2025Publication date: July 10, 2025Inventors: Matan Atias, Liron Har-Shai, Natan Schecter, Roni Salman, Aryeh Zafranski, Yuval Paz, Roy Shkoury, Gideon Eitan, Michael Raikh, Yury Kosharovsky, Sharon Haver, Yaron Binder, Lior Handelsman

Patent number: 12301051Abstract: When a power outage occurs, an uninterruptable power supplies may lose all grid connections including a neutral connection which may be connected to ground. To avoid the loss of a ground connection to the power circuits of the UPS, a switch unit may be used to selectively connect a neutral conductor of the circuit to a ground terminal. The switch unit may comprise a power relay, a fast switch device (FSD), and a controller. The power relay and FSD may be connected in series between the neutral conductor of the circuit and a ground terminal. The controller may be configured to: close the FSD when the voltage between ground and neutral (Vng) goes above a first threshold, open the FSD when the voltage between any grid connection and neutral (Vg) goes above a second threshold, and close the FSD when Vg is below the second threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2024Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: Solaredge Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Natan Schecter, Roni Salman, Aryeh Zafranski, Yuval Paz

Publication number: 20240396366Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a versatile UPS. The versatile UPS is operative to provide power to a load and to an interconnected network for delivering electricity from producers to consumers (i.e., an electricity grid, or simply, “a grid”). The versatile UPS has a plurality of switches providing for a multiplicity of switching states. The output to the load, the grid, or both is dependent, at least in part, on the switching states. Related systems, methods and apparatus is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: Natan Schecter, Yehuda D. Levy, Aryeh Zafranski, Alexander Savernin, Anatoly Granaturov, Tomer Kugman
