Abstract

A power source device according to this invention comprises a voltage and phase detector for detecting the voltage and phase of a power supply system, a first controller for controlling an inverter so that an output of the inverter may agree with either a reference voltage and a reference phase or with the voltage and the phase of the power supply system, a second controller for switching the inputs of the first controller from the reference voltage and phase to the power supply system voltage and phase, or vice versa, when the phases of a reference oscillator and the power supply system have agreed, and a third controller for switching the power to a load from the inverter to the power supply system, or vice versa, when the synchronism between the inverter output and the power supply system has been detected.

Claims

1. A power source device for a load with a stand-by power supply system, the power source device comprising an independent dispersive power source, an inverter by which D.C. power from said independent dispersive power source is changed into A.C. power, two switches which serve to feed said load with electric power of either said inverter or the stand-by power supply system, a reference voltage source which generates a voltage signal serving as a reference of the inverter output, a reference oscillator which generates a frequency signal serving as a reference of the inverter output, voltage detection means to detect a voltage of said power supply system serving as a reference of the inverter output, phase detection means to detect a phase of said power supply system serving as a reference of the inverter output, first control means to control said inverter so that the inverter output may agree with either of both the reference voltages and the phases, second control means functioning in a mode of switching power feed loops for said load to change-over the reference voltage and phase as inputs to said first control means onto the new closure side when the phases of said reference oscillator and said power supply system have agreed, and third control means functioning in the mode of switching the power feed loops for said load to close one of said two switches on the new closure side in accordance with synchronism between the inverter output and said power supply system so that when said power supply system is to be closed anew, said second control means operates previously to said third control means, whereupon said third control means once connects said inverter and said power supply system in parallel in response to the closure of said switch on the power supply system side and thereafter opens said switch on the inverter side.

2. A power source device for a load with a stand-by power supply system, the power source device comprising an independent dispersive power source, an inverter by which D.C. power from said independent dispersive power source is changed into A.C. power, two switches which serve to feed said load with electric power of either said inverter or the stand-by power supply system, a reference voltage source which generates a voltage signal serving as a reference of the inverter output, a reference oscillator which generates a frequency signal serving as a reference of the inverter output, voltage detection means to detect a voltage of said power supply system serving as a reference of the inverter output, phase detection means to detect a phase of said power supply system serving as a reference of the inverter output, first control means to control said inverter so that the inverter output may agree with either of both the reference voltages and the phases, second control means functioning in a mode of switching power feed loops for said load to change-over the reference voltage and phase as inputs to said first control means onto the new closure side when the phases of said reference oscillator and said power supply system have agreed, and third control means functioning in the mode of switching the power feed loops for said load to close one of said two switches on the new closure side in accordance with synchronism between the inverter output and said power supply system so that when said inverter is to be closed anew, said third control means operates previously to said second control means, whereupon said third control means once connects said inverter and said power supply system in parallel in response to the closure of said switch on the inverter side and thereafter opens said switch on the power supply system side.

3. A power source device for a load with a stand-by power supply system, the power source device comprising an independent dispersive power source, an inverter by which D.C power from said independent dispersive power source is changed into A.C. power, two switches which serve to feed said load with electric power of either said inverter or the stand-by power supply system, a reference voltage source which generates a voltage signal serving as a reference of the inverter output, a reference oscillator which generates a frequency signal serving as a reference of the inverter output, voltage detection means to detect a voltage of said power supply system serving as a reference of the inverter output, phase detection means to detect a phase of said power supply system serving as a reference of the inverter output, first control means to control said inverter so that the inverter output may agree with either of both the reference voltages and the phases, second control means functioning in a mode of switching power feed loops for said load to change-over the reference voltage and phase as inputs to said first control means onto the new closure side when the phases of said reference oscillator and said power supply system have agreed, and third control means functioning in the mode of switching the power feed loops for said load to close one of said two switches on the new closure side in accordance with synchronism between the inverter output and said power supply system so that when said power supply system or said inverter is to be closed anew, one of said second and third control means operates previously to the other, respectively, whereupon said third control means once connects said inverter and said power supply system in parallel in response to the closure of said switch on the new closure side and thereafter opens said switch on the other side.
