Many switch centers must provide unattended service imposed with uninterruptible power demands. Typically, uninterruptible power is developed through the application of inverters operated from rectified utility power utilizing a back-up battery float. Should the utility power degrade below a predetermined level uninterrupted energy is supplied from the batteries.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116764022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some general criteria for power levels and quality will therefore be developed. Utility requirements and governmental codes (UL, CSA, IEC, VDE, etc.) will be discussed. To provide the power level density and quality required by present systems, Univac's power supply facility in Dorval, Canada, has developed a line of standard power supplies. These supplies are of the off-line inverter type and will be presented in some detail. Modularity has been stressed in the design of these units. Present design effort is now being devoted to the next generation of power supplies. Some insight into the course of this development will be given.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129457314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individual cell potential differences have been measured during floating at 2.2 V/ cell, during equalisation at 2.35 to 2.4 V, and during periods on open circuit. The potential difference across a cell has been taken as an indicator of its health, following Milner, a high float voltage being preferred to a low one. Three modes of equalisation have been attempted: (i) raising the P. D. of all cells in a string to ca. 2.35 V/cell, (ii) raising the P. D. of one cell in a string to 2.35 V using a second power supply in parallel with that maintaining the other cells at 2.15 to 2.2 V each, and (iii) raising the P. D. of one cell to 2.35 V using a separate power supply, treating this cell in isolation from other cells in the string. Only the last method appears to be without drawbacks.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124434282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
