20150061395 | UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM WITH ENERGY FEEDBACK TO CHARGERS AND SINUSOIDAL OUTPUT - An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system with energy feedback to chargers and sinusoidal output charges a battery pack through a first charger under a mains mode. Under a battery mode, the UPS boosts DC voltage outputted from the battery pack to a higher voltage level through a DC-to-DC conversion module, converts the DC voltage to a sinusoidal AC voltage through a DC-to-AC conversion module, and supplies the sinusoidal AC voltage to a load. When the load has energy storage elements and discharged energy occurs in a power supply loop, a micro-controller unit can control the discharged power to charge the battery pack through a second charger, thereby solving the issue of the discharged power from the energy storage elements of the load and enhancing the operational efficiency of the UPS. | 03-05-2015 |
20140246293 | POWER-SWITCHING DEVICE WITH INTERLOCK MECHANISM - A power-switching device with interlock mechanism has a housing with a rotary knob, a slider slidably moved into a rotation range of the rotary knob, and an activation switch mounted on a sliding path of the slider. The activation switch has a control button located on an overlapped portion of the sliding path of the slider and the rotation range of the rotary knob. When the slider approaches the rotary knob, the activation switch is activated and the rotary knob is unable to rotate for being blocked. When the slider departs from the rotary knob, the activation switch is deactivated and the rotary switch is rotatable. Accordingly, when manually bypassing a UPS by turning the rotary knob, users will not forget to deactivate the activation switch, thereby avoiding damaging the UPS. | 09-04-2014 |
20140071572 | SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE - A surge protection device has a pulse controlled switch, a pulse generation circuit and an abnormal voltage detection circuit.

20130226363 | SHUT-DOWN CONTROLLING SYSTEM FOR POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT - A shut-down controlling system for power distribution unit (PDU) has a computer a PDU and multiple electric apparatus connected to the PDU. The PDU has multiple outlets and stores a shut-down controlling procedure and a shut-down period for each of the outlet. The PDU automatically communicates with the electric apparatus and obtains the actual shut-down period of the present electric apparatus. The PDU further determines whether the preset shut-down period is larger than the actual shut-down. If yes, the PDU cuts out the AC power source of the selected outlet when the preset shut-down period is achieved. If not, the PDU cancels the shut-down command and notifies the computer. Therefore, a manager will resets the shut-down period of the selected outlet to ensure that each electric apparatus has enough time to complete the shut-down procedure. | 08-29-2013 |
