METHOD FOR REDUCING UPS COMPONENT STRESSES DURING TRANSITION FROM INVERTER TO GREEN/BYPASS OPERATION
Publication number: 20230266809Abstract: UPS systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums utilizing electromechanical bypass relays to switch from an on-line mode of operation to a green/bypass mode of operation include control logic to adaptively adjust the timing of when an inverter of a UPS turns off to prevent backfeeding a utility. After the UPS is instructed to transition from the on-line mode to the green mode, a monitoring period begins. During the monitoring period, a parameter related to the output current of the inverter is monitored and compared to a predetermined threshold. If the parameter exceeds the predetermined threshold before a fixed period time has elapsed, the inverter is turned off early. If the inverter current does not exceed the predetermined value within the fixed period of time, the inverter is turned off.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Wei-Hsiang Lin, Adam Daniel Sanner -
