Solid-state Controls systems differ from off-line designs in the following ways: 1. Solid-state Controls offers an on-line, double conversion UPS system. Therefore, the client’s critical load is being powered continuously from the inverter. The battery is always being floated by the fully-rated rectifier/charger and is always connected to the inverter input. As result, all components […]

The following is an outline of some of the major problems associated with off-line (stand by) UPS designs. INPUT FREQUENCY/ VOLTAGE PASS THROUGH The off-line unit is designed to pass through the input line voltage and frequency to the load. (Note: the power passed through is non-conditioned utility power.) While this may be fine for
