An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) includes a rectifier, a buck converter, a solar energy module, a boost converter, a controller, and a power distribution unit (PDU). The solar energy module receives solar energy and converts the solar energy to a first DC voltage. The controller compares the first DC voltage with a preset voltage, and outputs a control signal to turn the boost converter on or off. When the boost converter is turned off, the rectifier receives an AC voltage from the AC power source and converts this to a rectified DC voltage which is output to the buck converter. When the boost converter is turned on, the boost converter converts the first DC voltage to a second DC voltage. The buck converter converts the rectified DC voltage or the first DC voltage to a working DC voltage and outputs to a power supply unit through the PDU.

Uninterruptible power supply

An alternate current rectifier circuit which includes a first diode, a second diode, a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, and a fourth transistor is power saving. The first diode is connected to the first transistor and the fourth transistor; the second diode is connected to the second transistor and the third transistor. During a positive half cycle of the alternate current, the first transistor and the fourth transistor are switched on and the alternate current flows through the first diode, the first transistor, and the fourth transistor; during a negative half cycle of the alternate current, the second transistor and the third transistor are switched on and the alternate current flows through the second diode, the second transistor, and the third transistor.
