Abstract
Abstract An uninterruptible ac power supply permits parallel operation between a commercial ac line and an inverter unit, greatly simplifies the monitoring of the commercial ac line and minimizes the transient of output voltage during the switching of mode. The uninterruptible ac power supply is comprised of an iron core divided with magnetic shunts into three sections and has an output winding, a winding for a commercial ac line and a winding for an inverter unit, one each wound on the aforementioned three sections of the iron core, the said three windings so disposed that the output winding is wound on one terminal section and the windings for the commercial ac line and the inverter unit are wound on the remaining two sections.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
An uninterruptible ac power supply, comprising in combination an iron core divided by magnetic shunts into first and second terminal side sections and a center section therebetween, a three-winding transformer incorporating one output winding formed on the first terminal side section and two input windings formed one each on the remaining two sections, an inverter unit connected to one of said two input windings, a commercial ac line connected via switch means to the other of said two input windings, a battery connected to said inverter unit and adapted to supply power thereto, and means for controlling to a predetermined value the phase difference between the output voltage of said inverter unit and the voltage of said commercial ac line.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
An uninterruptible ac power supply, comprising in combination an iron core divided by magnetic shunts into first and second terminal side sections and a center section therebetween, a three-winding transformer incorporating one output winding formed on the first terminal side section and two input windings formed one each on the remaining two sections, an inverter unit connected to one of said two input windings, a commercial ac line connected via switch means to the other of said two input windings, a battery connected to said inverter unit and adapted to supply power thereto, and means for controlling to a predetermined value the phase difference between the output voltage of said inverter unit and the voltage of said commercial ac line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
An uninterruptible ac power supply according to claim 1, wherein said phase difference is fixed so that the power transferred from said inverter unit to said output winding is substantially nulled while said commercial ac line is normally operating.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
An uninterruptible ac power supply according to claim 1, wherein said phase difference is fixed so that said inverter unit effects floating charge of said battery while said commercial ac line is normally operating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
88 words
An uninterruptible ac power supply according to claim 1, claim 2, or claim 3, wherein said input winding connected to said inverter unit is formed on the center section of said iron core adjoining the first terminal side section of said iron core having said output winding formed thereon and said input winding connected to said commercial ac line is formed on the second terminal side section of said iron core farther from the first terminal side section of said iron core having said output winding formed thereon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
88 words
An uninterruptible ac power supply according to claim 1, claim 2, or claim 3, wherein said input winding connected to said commercial ac line is formed on the center section of said iron core adjoining the first terminal side section of said iron core having said output winding formed thereon and said input winding connected to said inverter unit is formed on the second terminal side section of said iron core farther from the first terminal side section of said iron core having said output winding formed thereon.
