The UPS System Block Diagram below illustrates the true on-line double conversion architecture of the
UPS system.
The major modules consist of the following:
• AC to DC power converter (rectifier) with a Power Factor Correction
• DC to AC power high frequency inverter
• Isolated intelligent battery charger
• Bank of stationary maintenance-free batteries
• DC to DC converter
• Static bypass loop
• Input and output EMI filters
The following table summarizes the UPS operating modes during various utility AC power conditions:

Utility normal
Rectier converts AC to DC. Battery charges. Inverter
converts DC to AC and supplies the loads with clean, stable
power.
