Backup power supply ELPOS 1
Description
The power supply provides power to a device when the input power source or mains power fails. A typical example of such a device is a pump running in the systems for central heating. Another example is a water cooling system or a media circulation in the solar panels.
The power supply has Pb gel battery, charger, inverter, auxiliary and protective circuits. When the mains power is present, the internal charger maintains its internal storage battery ready. The charger provides a stabilized voltage to keep the battery in perfect condition - it prevents the battery from overcharging. When the mains power fails, the output is in about 300ms redirected to the inverter that supplies the protected device. The on-battery runtime depends on delivered power and on type of the backup power supply (battery capacity). To supply a common pump, the on-battery runtime is about 2,5 hours.
The internal battery is protected with an undervoltage lock to stop the inverter operation in case the mains power failure is longer than the battery can cover and the voltage drops under the value allowed by the battery manufacturer (typically 10.5V). When the mains power is restored, the inverter switches back to the mains and starts charging the internal battery.
The inverter is protected against output overload, overheating and battery undervoltage.
