Method and system for managing uninterruptable power supply for harmonic reduction

1. A method for managing a dual rectifier uninterruptable power, comprising:

activating each of said dual rectifiers to provide an output DC voltage, wherein each of said dual rectifiers has a six pulse topology and are connected in parallel;

monitoring a level of operation of the uninterruptable power supply; and

deactivating a selected one of said dual rectifiers when a level of operation of said dual rectifiers is less than a first predetermined level of operation to increase a line inductance and reduce an input total harmonic distortion (THD).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said deactivation comprising the step of:

turning off the selected rectifier.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

maintaining said dual rectifier operation when said level of operation is less than said first level of operation.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

maintaining said active dual rectifier operation when said level of operation of a single rectifier is greater than a second predetermined level of operation.

5. A method of managing input current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) consisting of one or more rectifiers operating in parallel, said method comprising:

activating each said rectifiers, wherein each of said dual rectifiers has a six pulse topology;

monitoring a level of operation said UPS;

selectively deactivating at least one of said rectifiers when said level of operation less than a first predetermined level and selectively activating at least one of said deactivated rectifiers when said level of operation is greater than a second predetermined level to increase a line inductance and reduce the THD, wherein the first predetermined level of operation is a percentage of a load.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said deactivating comprises turning off said selected rectifier.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein said activating comprises turning on said selected rectifier.

8. A system for managing a dual rectifier uninterruptable power supply (UPS), comprising:

a processor in communication with a memory, said memory including code which when accessed by the processor causes the processor to:

activate each of said dual rectifiers to provide an output DC voltage, wherein each of said dual rectifiers has a six pulse topology and are connected in parallel;

monitor a level of operation of the uninterruptable power supply providing an output DC voltage;

deactivate a selected one of said dual rectifiers when a level of operation of said dual rectifiers is less than a first predetermined level of operation to increase a line inductance and reduce an input total harmonic distortion (THD), and activate selected ones of said deactivated rectifier when said level of operation is greater than a second predetermined level of operation.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein said deactivation comprising the step of:

turning off the selected rectifier.

10. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

maintaining said dual rectifier operation when said level of operation is less than said first level of operation.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein said first predetermined level of operation is set at known percentage a rated power output of said UPS.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein said known percentage is 55 percent.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein said second predetermined level of operation is set at known percentage a rated power output of said UPS.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein said known percentage is 60 percent.
