Abstract

See full text

A multiple uninterruptible power supply system includes at least two uninterruptible power supply modules. Each uninterruptible power supply module has a control unit with the control unit coupled to a synchronization bus. The uninterruptible power supply module are synchronized to each other with one of the uninterruptible power supply modules being operated as a sync master UPS and its control unit sending synchronization signals on the synchronization bus that are received on the synchronization bus by control units of each of the other uninterruptible power supply module which are each operated as a slave UPS synchronized to the sync master UPS. When a bypass power source for the uninterruptible power supply module that is being operated as the sync master becomes unqualified, another one of the UPS modules is operated as the sync master and its control unit then sends out the synchronization signals.
