Abstract

A three-phase a.c. uninterruptible power supply includes a transformer providing isolation between an input and an output, a single-phase inverter, and a cycloconverter. The uninterruptible power supply operates to convert a d.c. voltage into a high-frequency a.c. voltage in the single-phase inverter, transmit the output voltage of the single-phase inverter in an isolated state, and convert the output of the transformer into a three-phase voltage having a lower frequency, such as 50 or 60 Hz, than the frequency of the output voltage of the single-phase inverter. This enables the transformer providing isolation to operate at a high frequency, thereby enabling the size of the transformer to be reduced.
