Abstract :
Efficiency is a fundamental UPS performance criterion. Remarkably, UPS efficiency in field applications may deviate from controlled laboratory conditions. This paper focuses on the impact of mains supply on double-conversion UPS efficiency. As the mains supply mostly affects the rectifier section, the results also provide a reference on the impact of mains supply on rectifier efficiency.
