Abstract

See full text

A method reduces inrush currents in a transformer-less rectifier UPS system when an input circuit breaker of the UPS system is closed from an open position. The circuit breaker is coupled between an AC power input and an AC input of a rectifier of the UPS system and a DC output of the rectifier is coupled to a DC bus of the UPS system. Before the circuit breaker is closed, the DC bus is charged to a DC voltage having a level that is equal to a peak AC voltage level of a line-line AC voltage of AC input power to the UPS system. The rectifier is operated as an inverter to provide an AC output voltage at the AC input of the rectifier that is equal to an AC voltage at the AC power input and when it is equal, the circuit breaker is closed.
