computers require continuous power supply. Even a small temporary failure in power supply to these appliances may cause a great deal of public inconvenience.

Early UPS systems are of rotary type which consists of combination of a DC motor driven alternator run with the help of battery and a diesel engine. However such a system is in efficient, uneconomical and bulky one.

Static UPS systems

The static UPS systems are presently common and are widely used. These don’t have any moving parts and are made with solid state power electronic switches. These are of two types; namely short break and no break UPS systems.

Short break UPS

The short break UPS will have small interruption time of about 4 to 5 ms. The block diagram of such a device is shown in below figure. Under normal conditions the load is directly connected to the supply line. On the instance of power failure the UPS switches to the battery with the help of static switch. A momentary interruption in supply can be observed in case of lamps and florescent tubes.
