My UPS cant recharge from backup generator. When power failure, my pc backed up from UPS until backup generator started. UPS cant recharge from generator.The frequency and voltage are same compared with main power line.What's the problem  Please help me.............. |

first u need to get data for volt and waveshape, ups have highcut, low cut with a fixed range. either its goes to high cut or low cut , u should use a variac to detect highcut low cut range. or if it is squre wave then its too hard to operate induction drive. |

Hi,
I have no idea in which part of the world you stay but can shed some light on the working of a PIC based UPS specifically a 16F676 with an internal oscillator of 4 MHz.
I older firmwares the mains was sampled directly from a half wave rectified signal reduced by a potential divider. This means that the zero cross over and the AC waveforms are sampled purely through the ADC and not an interrupt. This method is acceptable for detecting brown-outs, black-outs. However AC generators (especially single cylinder large flywheel) show some hunting (wow) and the crest factor of the sine differs from mains. Thus it is detected as unhealthy mains by the pic as it cannot lock onto the zero-cross in the firmware.
This problem has been solved in the newer firmware.
Regards
Sougata

Maxpayne, rating of the generator is
7.5KW rated output
220V, single phase
pf = 1
frequency= 50 Hz
my UPS from "RIELLO", 400VA,250W
Andig, could you please explain more........

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am from India and talking about UPS manufactured here.. so it might not comply with yours.
However it is very clear that on application of generator power the UPS still detects it as unhealthy thus it does not transfer back to the mains. May be the manufactures can shed some light. If it is not within warranty then take a look under the hood and post some pictures. Better if you could manage some schematic.
Regards

night_mare,
I checked RIELLO website. their is no info abt the tecnology they r using in the model u mentioned. So better u grab an oscilloscope and see the waveform of the gen. output when connecting ups and see if there any changes happen. also u may open up the ups case and try to understand which technology they r using.........

It `s the waveform provided by the generator. The stand by ups are not compatible with these small generators. You need an online double conversion UPS type. I am working with ups and generator 15 years ago
