Abstract

An uninterruptible power supply apparatus is equipped with a power supply input section a 2 and a power supply input section b 3 that receive two systems of power supply, respectively; a power supply output section a 4 and a power supply output section b 5 that output the power supply inputted in the power supply input section a 2 and the power supply input section b 3 , respectively; and a control section 7 that detects a power failure state of the power supply that is inputted in at least of the power supply input section a 2 and the power supply input section b 3 , and outputs a backup power supply from at least one of the power supply output section a 4 and the power supply output section b 5 based on a detection result obtained by the control section 7.

Claims (21)

1. An uninterruptible power supply apparatus comprising:

a first power supply input section and a second power supply input section that are adapted to receive power from two systems of power supply, respectively;

a first power supply output section and a second power supply output section;

an output switching section electrically connected to receive power from the first and second power supply input sections and to deliver the power to the first and second power supply output sections;

a control section that monitors a state of power supply to both of said first and second power supply input sections and, upon detectinq a power failure state of the power that is inputted in either of the first and second power supply input sections, controls the output switching section such that power from a backup power supply is outputted from at least one of the first power supply output section and the second power supply output section in response to the detection of input power failure by the control section;

a battery coupled to the first power supply input section and the second power supply input section;

a charging section electrically connected to both the first and second power supply input sections, that charges the battery with the power inputted from either of the first power supply input section and the second power supply input section; and

an inverter section that is electrically connected between the battery and the output switching section, and that converts power charged in the battery into the backup power supply,

wherein, when the control section detects a power failure state of the power supply that is inputted in the first power supply input section, the control section controls the output switching section to shut off the first power supply output section and directly connect the second power supply input section to the second power supply output section.

2. An uninterruptible power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the inverter is not operated.

3. An uninterruptible power supply apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, when the control section detects a power failure state of the power supply that is inputted in the second power supply input section, the control section controls the output switching section to disconnect the second power supply input section from the second power supply output section and connect the inverter to the second power supply output section.

4. An uninterruptible power supply apparatus comprising:

a first power supply input section and a second power supply input section that are adapted to receive power from two systems of power supply, respectively;

a first power supply output section and a second power supply output section;

an output switching section electrically connected to receive power from the first and second power supply input sections and to deliver the power to the first and second power supply output sections;

a control section that monitors a state of power supply to both of said first and second power supply input sections and, upon detecting a power failure state of the power that is inputted in either of the first and second power supply input sections, controls the output switching section such that power from a backup power supply is outputted from at least one of the first power supply output section and the second power supply output section in response to the detection of input power failure by the control section;

a battery coupled to the first power supply input section and the second power supply input section;

a charging section electrically connected to both the first and second power supply input sections, that charges the battery with the power inputted from either of the first power supply input section and the second power supply input section; and

an inverter section that is electrically connected between the battery and the output switching section, and that converts power charged in the battery into the backup power supply,

wherein, when the control section detects a power failure state of the power supply that is inputted in the first power supply input section, the control section controls the output switching section to shut of f the first power supply output section and operate the inverter with the power supply inputted in the second power supply input section such that the power supply is outputted through the second power supply output section.

5. An uninterruptible power supply apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the battery is not used to provide power to either of the first power supply output section and the second power supply output section.
