ABSTRACT
Power supplies from mains supply in Nigeria are
neither steady nor clean. Many abnormalities such as spikes, sags (brownouts)
surges and noise can occur. Under the best conditions, power interruptions can
be an inconvenience. At their worst, they can cause loss of data in computer
systems, damage to vulnerable electronic devices, break in transmission of
information and even loss of human life. As a result of these inconveniences,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems were constructed to minimize
interruptions from Power Supply Units (PSUs). The UPS acts as a buffer and
provides clean, reliable power to vulnerable electronic equipments for a certain
(short) period of time. At least a time that would be enough to save data and
properly shutdown the protected machine or affect a power change over. Finally,
this project “Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system” after construction and
testing was able to give us an output of 2.5KW which after charged was used to
power a computer system and we got a dwell-time of 7-10 minutes. However, after
a blackout has occurred, this UPS can provide power to the connected equipment
for short period of time
