REDUNDANT POWER SUPPLY UPS MODULE
The redundant power supply UPS module for an electronic system contains at least a first power supply electrically connected to an external AC power source and converting the AC electricity from the AC power source to DC electricity for powering the electronic system; at least a second power supply; a battery electrically connected to the second power supply for providing DC electricity to the second power supply; and a control module electrically connected to the first and second power supplies and capable of detecting the stored electricity of the battery and power interruption from the AC power source, and capable of controlling the charge and discharge of the battery.
1 . A redundant power supply UPS module for an electronic system, comprising:
at least a first power supply electrically connected to an external AC power source and converting the AC electricity from said AC power source to a DC electricity for powering said electronic system;
at least a second power supply;
a battery electrically connected to said second power supply for providing a DC electricity to said second power supply; and
a control module electrically connected to said first and second power supplies and capable of detecting the stored electricity of said battery and power interruption from said AC power source, and capable of controlling the charge and discharge of said battery.
2 . The redundant power supply UPS module according to claim 1 , wherein said DC electricity from said first power supply is adapted and used to charge said battery.
3 . The redundant power supply UPS module according to claim 1 , wherein battery is a Lithium battery.
4 . The redundant power supply UPS module according to claim 1 , wherein said first power supply is hot pluggable; and, when said first power supply is unplugged, the operation of said redundant power supply UPS module is not affected.
5 . The redundant power supply UPS module according to claim 1 , wherein said second power supply is hot pluggable; and, when said second power supply is unplugged, the operation of said redundant power supply UPS module is not affected.
