This paper proposes a method and deep analysis of results viable for checking how single-phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) cope with nonlinear circuits under varying power loads in terms of electric energy quality.Various classes of single-phase UPS systems with different topologies were tested, for instance line-interactive and double conversion (online) single-phase UPS devices. Furthermore, measurements were carried out in view of a power source – loads were supplied both from a power grid and UPS built-in battery. Juxtaposition of the obtained results such as a THDU, THDI (Total Harmonic Distortion) percentage ratio of input/output voltage and current, a power factor and crest factor volume etc. of the tested UPS systems indicated major differences in their performance during laboratory tests.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Single phase UPS systems loaded with nonlinear circuits: analysis of topology in the context of electric power quality}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/114123/PDF/06_AEE-2019-4_INTERNET.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aee.2019.130683}, keywords={electrical measurements, harmonic distortion, nonlinear circuits, uninterruptible power supply}, }
