ABSTRACT:
An uninterruptible power supply comprising a regulating transformer including output circuitry for connection to a load, first input circuitry for coupling a reserve AC voltage source to the regulating transformer and second input circuitry for coupling a primary AC voltage source to the regulating transformer, the second input circuitry comprising a plurality of winding taps, with each of the taps including a tap switch coupled to the primary AC voltage source.
The uninterruptible power supply also includes a voltage control monitor for monitoring the voltage of the primary source and, if the voltage is outside a predetermined maximum allowable range, opening all of said tap switches to isolate the primary source from said transformer, and, if said voltage is within said predetermined maximum allowable range, selectively closing one of said tap switches so that the voltage at the load is held within a predetermined range.
