Abstract
An uninterruptible power supply that provides power to an electrical device, the uninterruptible power supply that includes a first housing; a cover plate that includes a plurality of electrical outlets located on a surface of the cover plate and said cover plate is connected to the first housing in an angled position; and a battery in electrical communication with the plurality of electrical outlets on the surface of the cover plate, and the battery being removably attached to the first housing.
Claims30
An uninterruptible power supply comprising:
- a housing having a top with a first portion that includes a plurality of power receptacles having faces disposed across a first plane, the housing being constructed and arranged to support the uninterruptible power supply on a surface defined by a surface plane such that the first plane is non-parallel to the surface plane;
- an input to receive input electrical power from a power source;
- a battery disposed within the housing;
- and
- a circuit board contained within the housing and disposed beneath the top of the housing, the circuit board being coupled to the input, to the battery, and to each of the plurality of power outlet receptacles to provide output power derived from one of the input electrical power and the battery, the circuit board having a component surface on which at least one component is mounted, the component surface being disposed along a second plane that is parallel to the first plane.
An uninterruptible power supply comprising:
- a housing having a top with a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including a plurality of power receptacles having faces disposed across a first plane, the housing being constructed and arranged to support the uninterruptible power supply on a surface defined by a surface plane such that the first plane is non-parallel to the surface plane;
- a circuit board contained within the housing and coupled to the plurality of power receptacles;
- an input to receive input electrical power from a power source and coupled to the circuit board to provide the electrical power to the circuit board;
- a battery disposed within the housing and coupled to the circuit board;
- and
- a plurality of indicator lights operably coupled to the circuit board and mounted on the second portion of the top across a third plane that is non-parallel to the surface plane.
