Abstract

An uninterruptible power supply apparatus includes a feed compensation circuit and a bypass circuit. The bypass circuit is provided in electrically parallel with the feed compensation circuit. The bypass circuit includes first to third switches and first to third circuits. The first to third switches are connected respectively to the first to third phases of a three-phase AC load. The first to third circuits are provided in electrically parallel with the first to third switches, respectively. The first circuit includes a first snubber circuit, a second snubber circuit, and a power line. The second circuit includes a first snubber circuit, a second snubber circuit, and a power line. The third circuit includes a first snubber circuit, a second snubber circuit, and a power line. Respective power lines of the first to third circuits are electrically connected to each other.

Claims (15)

1. An uninterruptible power supply apparatus comprising:

a feed compensation circuit that is connected between a three-phase AC power supply and a three-phase AC load and supplies electric power to the three-phase AC load during power failure of the three-phase AC power supply; and

a bypass circuit that is provided between the three-phase AC power supply and the three-phase AC load, and in electrically parallel with the feed compensation circuit, wherein

the bypass circuit includes:

a first switch, a second switch, and a third switch that are connected respectively to a first phase, a second phase, and a third phase of the three-phase AC load; and

a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit provided in electrically parallel with the first switch, the second switch, and the third switch, respectively,

the first circuit, the second circuit, and the third circuit each include:

a first snubber circuit;

a second snubber circuit provided between the first snubber circuit and the three-phase AC power supply; and

a power line between the first snubber circuit and the second snubber circuit, and

the power lines of the first circuit, the second circuit, and the third circuit are electrically connected to each other.

2. The uninterruptible power supply apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first snubber circuit and the second snubber circuit each include:

a capacitor; and

an electrical resistor connected in electrically parallel with the capacitor.
