I have an application for something similar to a UPS, but I need to know how they work.
I know that it has a battery, and the battery gets charged by stepped down, rectified mains.
It has an inverter within it.
When there is no mains power, the inverter powers the load.
But what exactly happens?
Does mains actually feed through to the output whilst charging the battery at the same time?
Does mains charge the battery and at the same time, the inverter is always on, powering the load?
How does it work?
The reason why I'm asking is because I've got a system whereby I have two mains connections, and a system can switch between the two. I want to know how the UPS can 'switch over' so ridiculously fast! (If it actually does switch over).
Thanks, Antony...
