Konstruktion av UPS-modul
This master thesis describes the development of an UPS module. UPS is an acronym for Uninterruptable Power Supply. The UPS module has been developed at the company AerotechTelub AB. The UPS module delivers the necessary voltage and current in case of a power interrupt. If a power interrupt occur, the computer system has one to three minutes available to store data and shut down correctly. The UPS module consists of two parallel systems. Every system is built out of four parts. Part one consists of batteries and safety circuits, part two charges the batteries, partthree is a control unit, and part four delivers the voltage and current. The delivered voltage is 5 V and the current is 4 A. Tests and verifications showed that the UPS module could supply a computer system with power for about one minute. The tests have been performed in a lab at AerotechTelub AB. The UPS module is supposed to be mounted in a cassette. The cassette is then inserted in the computer system through a hole in the chassis. Thereby an opening of the computer system is avoided when the module is connected.
