Abstract
An uninterruptible power supply, with passing neutral, comprises a twin step-up chopper whose input is connected to a battery and to a rectifier circuit connected to the mains power system. The twin step-up chopper comprises a positive step-up chopper supplying a first output voltage between a positive DC output and neutral, and a negative step-up chopper supplying a second output voltage between a negative DC output and neutral. The control circuit of the twin step-up chopper comprises means for regulating imbalance between the output voltages of the positive and negative step-up choppers, suitable both for operation on the mains power system and for operation on the battery.
