Abstract
An uninterruptible power supply with energy control includes a source of direct current (DC) voltage and current with a battery coupled to an inverter. The output from the inverter is applied to a computer or other loads. A charger is disposed between power line input and the battery as a component of the direct current source.
Claims4
An uninterruptible power supply comprising:
- a source of direct current (DC) voltage and current;
- an inverter circuit;
- a battery coupled between said source of direct current (DC) voltage and current and said inverter circuit;
- a charging circuit included in said source of direct current (DC) voltage and current and coupled to said battery for recharging said battery while limiting the amount of power drawn from said source of direct current (DC) voltage and current to a predetermined amount;
- a current and voltage regulating transistor connected to said battery and biased “on” or partially “on” by feedback of voltage across and through said battery;
- and
- said charging circuit is a series pass regulator limited power flowing into said battery and to a load connected to said inverter.
