Technical FAQs 4

How does a ups inverter work?

The rectifier circuit in the UPS converts the grid AC to DC to charge the battery. The UPS serves as a filter between the grid AC, and the AC is needed for critical power devices. There is no switching when the grid power is interrupted, as the UPS inverter will continue to function for as long as the UPS battery has sufficient charge.

Can I connect a grid-tie inverter to a ups input?

Connecting the grid-tie inverter to the UPS input wouldn't work as the grid-tie inverter only powers up when there's mains voltage present, so it wouldn't switch on in this case. There's only mains voltage on the UPS output, so connecting it there is the only way you could get the grid-tie inverter to power up.

Can a grid-tie microinverter power a solar panel?

If you have a UPS powering some load in an off-grid situation, and you have a solar panel with a grid-tie microinverter, is it possible to connect the grid-tie inverter to the UPS output, such that the microinverter assists with powering the load plugged into the UPS, and if there's an excess of power available, actually charge the UPS batteries?

What happens if a ups inverter is always on?

As the UPS inverter is always on, there is no switching time when the grid AC used to charge the battery is interrupted. The AC-power supply to the UPS is used to maintain the battery state of charge at a sufficient level to keep the inverter operational. It is true to say that a UPS is a special type of inverter system.
