Summary: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with high power factor and two conversion stages is suggested. The double-conversion configuration has three stages, but normally, only two stages are operating at the same time. The first stage of the proposed scheme integrates the power-factor-correction stage and the battery charger of the double-conversion configuration, obtaining a two-stage UPS. The second stage is based on the theory of inverter with boosting capabilities. The battery set has not only been completely isolated, but it has also been charged with a small change at the controller set point; these particular characteristics facilitate the system maintenance and simplify its operation. Additionally, the battery-set voltage is low, reducing the weight and size. The converter operation, analysis, design, and experimental results are shown. The proposed UPS approach is practical in low-power applications ($leq 500$ W).
