Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of UPS equipment, in particular to a switching device and a switching method for assisting UPS offline. Background Art

[0002] The UPS power supply system is mainly composed of rectifiers, batteries, inverters, and conversion switches. On the one hand, the rectifier converts AC power into DC output, and on the other hand, the rectified DC output provides charging voltage for the battery. When the mains power is cut off, the battery can still be used as an energy source for the UPS power supply system to continue to supply power. Its capacity determines the time the UPS power supply system can continue to supply power after the mains power is cut off.

[0003] The traditional UPS host cabinet itself contains main input, bypass input, main output and battery power supply switch. Only one UPS host cabinet is needed to meet the application scenario of uninterrupted AC power output. However, the disadvantage of such use is that when the UPS fails and must be disassembled for maintenance or the whole machine must be taken offline for maintenance, bypass power supply must be used to ensure uninterrupted load power supply. At this time, since the bypass is energized, it cannot be disassembled or taken offline, or there is a risk of electric shock when disassembling.
