Abstract
A system and method for supplying uninterruptible power includes a housing, a power supply input, a power source equipment input, a first powered device output, a second powered device output, an alternative power supply, and a control module. The control module includes a comparator, a switch, a converter and an injector. The injector includes a regulator and power autonegotiation module. The alternative power supply includes a plurality of battery packs in series. There can also be first and second powered devices with uninterrupted power, even when only one of the powered devices breaks. A power is uninterrupted to the first powered device, even if power is stopped to the second powered device, due to a repair or fault of the second powered device.
