Simple UPS N. SHARMA

TESTED

This circuit is a UPS, the circuit provides
a constant regulated 5 Volt output and
an unregulated 12 Volt supply. In the
event of electrical supply line failure the
battery takes over, with no spikes on the
regulated supply.
This circuit can be adapted for other
regulated voltages by using different
regulators. LED 1 will light only when
the electricity supply is present, with a
power failure the LED will go out and
output voltage is maintained by the
battery.
Resistor R1 and D1 are the charging
path for battery B1. D1 and D3 prevent
LED1 being illuminated under power
fail conditions.
D2 must be included in the circuit,
without D2 the battery would charge
from the full supply voltage without
current limit, which would cause dam-
age and overheating of some
Santosh Vasudeven
rechargeable batteries.
The ability to maintain the regulated
supply with no electrical supply
depends on the load applied to the UPS
and also the capacity of the battery. If
you were using a 12 Volt 12 AH battery
and load from the 5 Volt regulator was
0.5 Amp then the regulated supply
would be maintained for around 24
hours. Greater A/h capacity batteries
would provide a longer standby time.
