DC UPS for router and printer

This is a DC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for router and printer using capacitors instead of battery.

It running the load for very short time (seconds) to solve the problem of ATS delay time.

Formula to calculate the running time depend on the load and size of the capacitors

C= capacity in farad

I= current of the load in amp 

T= running time in second

V start = maximum voltage of the capacitor (rms x 1.4142) 

V stop = minimum voltage before load turns off

 

NOTE: In LED light bulbs the current (I) is almost constant in any voltage due to constant current driver used in most LED bulbs which make it easier to calculate the running time, But for other loads with constant voltage driver this formula could gives inaccurate results.
