About this manual

This document explains the differences between low‑frequency (工频机) and high‑frequency (高频机) UPS systems. It describes why traditional UPS used output isolation transformers, the role of those transformers, and why modern high‑frequency designs can eliminate them.

The guide also discusses the impact of transformer removal on size, efficiency, reliability, and power factor correction, providing circuit‑level insights for engineers and system planners. This manual is written in Chinese.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the output isolation transformer in a low‑frequency UPS?

It steps up the voltage to the required peak level and provides isolation for the neutral line.

Does a high‑frequency UPS contain a traditional transformer?

No, high‑frequency UPS uses an electronic boost converter instead of a conventional transformer.

Why can high‑frequency UPS be smaller and more efficient?

Eliminating the bulky isolation transformer reduces weight, loss, and cost while allowing higher switching frequencies.
