Abstract
A modular UPS unit with an internal central support structure. Each module can be removed from the structure independent of the others, permitting hot swapping of the modules. The internal support structure simplifies the manufacture of the unit, minimizes the size, and the unit is easily expanded in the field. The uninterrupted power supply has a base section, a central support structure and uninterrupted power supply modules. The central support structure is modular and can be connected to the base. Additional modular sections can be added to the central support section. The modular sections are formed from panels having male fasteners and I/O connectors on the front of each panel. The uninterrupted power supply modules have female fasteners for connecting with the male fasteners on the panels and I/O connectors for connecting to the I/O connectors on the panel.
