Abstract
An uninterruptible power supply system (UPS) includes a coupling choke ( ) being operably arranged between an electrical load ( ) and an external source of power ( ). A generator ( ) is operably connected to the coupling choke ( ) on the side of the electrical load ( ), and it is designed and arranged to be active during normal conditions and during trouble conditions. Trouble conditions are to be understood as conditions when the external source of power ( ) fails. A converter ( ) is operably connected to the coupling choke ( ). A substitute storage device for electrical energy is operably connected to the coupling choke ( ) on the side of the electrical load ( ) by the converter ( ). A fast-opening switch ( ) is operably connected the coupling choke ( ) on the side of the source of power ( ), and it is designed and arranged to open in case of occurring trouble conditions. A first unit ( ) is designed and arranged to sense an output voltage being supplied to the electrical load ( ) and to produce a measuring signal ( ). A second unit ( ) is designed and arranged to control the output voltage, to use the measuring signal ( ) as an input signal, to deliver a control signal ( ) as an output signal to the converter ( ) and to control the output voltage to attain a desired shape over time.
