ABSTRACT
This paper presents a comparative analysis of electrical losses and subsequent thermal limits of the inverter of UPSs for small office and home office (SOHO) applications. For this, three PWM modulation techniques applied to the full-bridge converter are considered, with power levels of 100-1000 W and switching frequencies of 30-120 kHz. To validate the electrical and thermal models, a dSapce MicroLabBox equipment was used to implement modulation techniques on a commercial 1000 W UPS, and a Keysight DAQ970A data logger was used for temperature measurements. As a result, the MOSFET temperatures and losses are obtained for the three modulation techniques evaluated, indicating the best scenario for use and its influence on the UPS autonomy time.
