POWER
BACKUPS
•UPS[Uninterrupted power supply]
•Invertors
•Diesel generating sets
Electricity generator or bank of batteries that can provide adequate
power to operate critically important equipment or keep them working
until commercial power is restored
This buffer against loss of power prevents inconvenient or dangerous
stoppage of critical process .
Once the cycle is finished , the equipment can be safely powered down
with minimal danger or damage
Uses
•Commonly in computer system
•Manufacturing equipment
•Hospital
•Power station
•Telephony
•Aircraft emergency batteries.
FLOW CHART
What is a U P S?
•Also known as battery/flywheel backup.
•An electrical apparatus that provides
emergency power to a load when the
input power source, typicallymains
power, fails.
•A UPS differs from an auxiliary
oremergency power supplyorstandby
generatorin that it will provide near-
instantaneous protection from input
power interruptions, by supplying energy
stored in batteries,super-capacitors,
orflywheels.
•The on-battery runtime of most ups is
relatively short (only a few minutes) but
sufficient to start a standby power
source or properly shut down the
protected equipment.
Uses
In computers,data centres,telecommunication
equipment or other electrical equipment where
an unexpected power disruption could cause
injuries, fatalities, serious business disruption or
data loss.
ADVANTAGES
1.Maintenance Of
Power
2.Continuity Of
Operation
3.Surge Protection
1.High Start Up Cost
2.Maintenance Cost
3.Energy Use
Power Range
A single computer without a video
monitor of `around 200VArating
to large units powering entire data
centres or buildings.
DISADVANTAGES
In a standby ("off-line") system the load is powered directly by the
input power and the backup power circuitry is only invoked when the
utility power fails. Most UPS below 1kVAare of the line-interactive or
standby variety which are usually less expensive.
Offline U P S
The three general categories of modern UPS systems areon-
lineorstandby.
Types of UPS
Offline UPS:
•In the case of Off-Line UPS, the inverter is off when the mains power is on
and the output voltage is derived directly from the mains. The inverter turns
on only when the mains supply fails. Its switching time is less than 5 ms.
•These UPS are generally used with PCs or computers or other appliances
where a small duration (5 ms or less) interruption in power supply can be
tolerated.
•Usually, sealed batteries or lead-acid batteries are used.
•The running time of these supplies is also low (about 10 to 30 minutes).
•An on-line UPS uses a "double conversion" method of accepting AC
input, rectifyingto DC for through therechargeable battery(or battery
strings), then inverting back to 120V/230V AC for powering the
protected equipment.
Online U P S
Online UPS:
•In case of On-line UPS, the battery operated inverter works
continuously whether the mains supply is present or not.
•When the mains supply fails, the UPS supplies power only until the
batteries get discharged. However, once the mains power resumes, the
batteries will get charged again.
•The switching times of these supplies is considered to be zero. Usually
sealed maintenance free batteries (lead-acid) are used
•The running time of the inverter is low (approximately 10 to 30 minutes).

INTRODUCTION
An inverter is an electrical circuit
capable of turning DC power into
AC power, while at the same time
regulating the voltage, current, and
frequency of the signal.
Inverters are used at residential,
commercial and industrial buildings
Uses :
To operate all kinds of devices
electric lights, kitchen appliances,
microwaves, power tools, TVs, radios,
computers etc.

BRANDS OF INVERTERS
Types of inverter:
Modified Sine Wave Inverters
This type of home inverter obtainspower from a battery of 12 voltsand must be
recharged using a generator or a solar panel. Appliances likemicrowave ovens, light
bulbs, etc. can be run using these types of inverter.
True Sine Wave Inverters
This is one of the better types of inverters as they provide better power as compared to
the modified sine wave inverters for homes. These types of home inverter are also run
using a battery of a larger capacity. They are best invertersemployed for the power
sensitive applianceslike refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, washing machines,
Solar Inverters
Solar inverters are among the type of inverters for home that are energy efficient as they
do not require a separate source for generating power. The solar energy is collected during
the daytime and used at time of need after being converted into electrical energy.
Types of solar inverters :
Stand-alone inverters,
Battery back-up inverters,
Grid tie inverters.
When the AC mains power supply is available.
When the AC mains supply is available, the AC mains sensor senses it and the supply goes to
the Relay and battery charging section of the inverter.AC main sensor activates a relay and
this relay will directly pass the AC mains supply to the output socket.
When the AC mains power supply is not available.
When the AC mains power supply is not available, an oscillator circuit inside the inverter
produces a 50Hz MOS drive signal. This MOS drive signal will be amplified by the driver
section and sent to the output section.
Automation in an Inverter.
Inverter contains various circuits to automatically sense and tackle various situations that may
occur when the inverter is running or in standby. This automaton section looks after conditions
such as overload, over heat, low battery, over charge etc
WORKING OF INVERTERS
WORKING OF INVERTERS
Maintainance:
•Always required well ventilated area for inverter installation.
•Checkingthewater level of battery in every two months.
•Alwayskeepthesurface and sides of battery cleanand dust free.
•Keepthebattery terminalscorrosion freeandrust free.
•Vents around battery should be dust free and open.Blocked vents
lead to hydrogen gas accumulation,which may lead tobursting of
battery.
•From safety point of view,installation of theinverter should be at safe
places in homewhich is out of the reach of children or a less used
area. But at the same time that area should be airy and properly
ventilated.
DIESEL GENERATING SETS

(DG) is a combination
of diesel engine with
electrical generator to
generate electricity.
It extracts chemical
energy from diesel
and converts its in

•Used for large power units.
•A synchronous motor/alternator is connected on the mains via achoke.
Energy is stored in aflywheel.
•When the mains power fails, an eddy-current regulation maintains the power
on the load as long as the flywheel's energy is not exhausted.
•DUPS are sometimes combined or integrated with a diesel generator that is
turned on after a brief delay, forming adiesel rotatory uninterrupted power
supply(DRUPS).
•Same as the off-line UPS system except for one difference that switching
time from the mains supply to battery driven inverter supply will not be small
(over 10 ms) for the electronic generator.
•Run for longer time (1 to 4 hours) than off-line UPS systems because,
usually large size lead-acid batteries are used with
/
electronic generators.
•These are meant for household applications to run fans, coolers, fridge,
lights, TV and VCR.
