The invention relates to uninterruptible power supply devices which make it possible to supply emergency power to a load, which is to be supplied, in the event of mains failure. The invention is based on the object of providing a device for supplying uninterruptible power, which device can be operated in a more energy-saving manner and in which the emergency power can be controlled in a rapid and safe manner. To this end, the uninterruptible power supply device has a power transistor which can be rapidly switched and can be used to connect a standby power source to the output connections during emergency power operation. The output current can also be dynamically limited by driving the power transistor, which can be rapidly switched, in a corresponding manner. In addition, the input and output of the UPS device are decoupled using a field effect transistor that acts as a power transistor.

Device for supplying uninterruptible power

The invention relates to an electronic power supply device, particularly a switched-mode power supply, for supplying power to a low-voltage load protected by a protective device, and to a method therefor. The invention also relates to a device for protecting a low-voltage load against an excess current and to an auxiliary power supply device for use with such a protection device. The conceptual core of the invention can be seen in providing measures which ensure that after a fault has been detected, for example a short circuit at the output, a current is supplied for a short period, for example 15 ms, which is of such a magnitude that a protective device can be reliably and quickly tripped. The period for this is selected in such a manner that electronic components, connected loads and feedlines are not damaged and destroyed.
