  • Re: UPS Turnon Brief Short: Help?

    Proximate cause:

    Watching the FET gates shows a good pulse. So the problem is on the output
    side. There is a transformer winding I assume is feed back. It goes to a bridge
    rectifier. This rectifier is "fused" with a 1/4 watt (that size anyway) resistor.

    This 2.2 ohm 1/4 watt resistor used as a fuse was toast (and open too).
    I believe it was 2.2 ohms but the bands were pretty burned. It is labeled F1. I replaced
    it. The UPS seems to be working now. With a 60 watt bulb my battery stayed...

    A UPS problem:

    When reset (AC line power connected or not) the Battery Power comes on
    for 800ms then goes off.

    I have checked the ESR on all electrolytics. They're fine.
    I have two different batteries and the problem with each
    installed is the same. Both batteries are of the correct size
    and at full charge.

    I have attached two waveform files for the AC output. They should be
    a clue. Something briefly shorts the waveform but then stops partway
    through each cycle. This problem occurs on both the positive swing...
