Bidirectional power supplies dynamically direct power from multiple sources to different loads, some of which are also power sources at other times. In recent years, there’s has been a dramatic increase in the need for bidirectional AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies, in addition to the unidirectional supply of a traditional UPS. That supply takes a […]
uninterruptible power sources
Bidirectional power supplies support new UPS requirements: Part 1
Bidirectional power supplies dynamically direct power from multiple sources to different loads, some of which are also power sources at other times. We recently had a short-term power failure in the neighborhood due to a storm and a downed tree. As the outage lasted only about eight hours, it was a minor inconvenience in the […]
