AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The problem of batteries failing to charge properly due to excessively long mains power recovery time in UPS systems, especially after both mains and bypass power are lost, is particularly concerning. Because the auxiliary power supply has a wide operating voltage range, it still needs to provide energy when the battery is below extremely low values, resulting in excessively long standby time and the battery discharging to extremely low values, making it impossible to charge properly.

Method used

An auxiliary power supply undervoltage shutdown circuit was designed. By using a voltage acquisition circuit and switching transistors Q3 and Q1, the input voltage of the auxiliary power supply is detected. When the voltage is too low, the switching transistor Q1 is turned on, the feedback terminal of the drive module is grounded, and the drive module stops outputting PWM control signals, thereby realizing the shutdown of the auxiliary power supply and avoiding excessive standby time.

Benefits of technology

It enables undervoltage shutdown of the auxiliary power supply, prevents the battery from discharging to extremely low values, ensures that the battery can be charged normally after the mains power is restored, and solves the problem of battery over-discharge.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of power supply technology, and in particular to an auxiliary power supply undervoltage shutdown circuit. Background Technology

[0002] In UPS modules and energy storage modules, the auxiliary power supply mostly adopts a flyback topology and draws power from both the AC mains side and the DC battery side to ensure that the module can still operate normally after either the AC or DC power is lost.

[0003] This power supply method can meet the application scenarios of most UPS systems. However, when the UPS system loses power to the mains and the bypass, the system switches to battery power. When the battery voltage drops to the EOD voltage value, the UPS system switches from normal operation to standby mode. After the mains power is restored, it continues to supply power to the load and charge the battery. If the conditions for restoring the mains power are not available on site in a short time, the auxiliary power supply of the module itself has a wide operating voltage range due to the use of flyback topology. When the battery voltage is lower than the EOD voltage, the auxiliary power supply itself can still work normally. At this time, because the module still needs the battery to provide energy when in standby mode, the standby time is too long and the battery will discharge to an extremely low value and cannot be charged normally after the mains power is restored.
