It controls the switch as much as possible.

That is, when the power is in a normal state, the commercial power is immediately supplied to the outside through the output terminal, and when the abnormal signal is supplied, the commercial power is supplied to the outside through the output terminal by receiving a voltage from the charging unit 130.

Instead of the DC / DC boost converter 132, the DC power converted by the DC / AC converter 132 is decompressed by the DC / DC decompression converter 133 and decompressed to DC 24V to charge the supercapacitor 134.

For example, in a 220V AC power supply circuit, a DC voltage of about 312V is generated.
