Line Interactive
Topology can be best explained using the analogy of a tandem
bicycle which has 2 sets of pedals to drive the rear wheel. Line
interactive operates similarly where two independent power sources
share the workload, by sensing the incoming mains voltage and
where this is irregular, the two power sources can take over the
power output completely, or in the case of a voltage dip or surge,
either buck or boost the voltage up or down, to provide a
regulated voltage output.
In this type of system, the battery charger, inverter and source
selection switch are usually replaced by a single Inverter/DC
converter component. This Inverter/DC converter charges the
battery, and also converts DC current back to regulated AC for
voltage output to connected loads.

AC line power is
still the primary power source, with the battery acting as the
secondary. When the line power is active, the AC is filtered
through to the load whilst the Inverter/DC converter charges the
battery. When the power fails, the unit senses the change, brings
in the DC, and then operates in reverse.
The inverter/DC converter regulates the output voltage through a
Buck/Boost regulator which can supply additional power during
voltage sags/brownouts. The main advantage of Line Interactive
systems is that the inverter/DC converter unit is always present
at the output, which gives a very fast response time to a power
failure.
The line-interactive UPS provides a far superior level of
protection over the Standby UPS equipment, although does not
provide the isolation, regulation and “”no break” output as is
provided by an Online UPS.
