Abstract

In the burn-in test of three-phase online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, RLC is usually used as a load in the conventional method. For saving energy and decreasing the test cost of UPS, the energy feedback method is proposed to apply the test of the online UPS. In this method, the utility system is used instead of a load. A voltage regulator is used in parallel operation to turn back the energy, which was dissipated in conventional method, to the utility system. The values of real power and reactive power in the output of UPS can be regulated in the proposed method to imitate various loads. From the experimental results, the efficiency of saving energy is more than 85% near half-load and will be higher while the load increases
