This document provides a general introduction to components used in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. It discusses several key semiconductor components used including transistors, thyristors, MOSFETs, and IGBTs. For each device, it describes the basic structure and functioning, including defining the emitter, base, and collector parts. It also notes that a rectifier in a UPS system serves dual purposes as both a rectifier to convert AC to DC, and as a battery charger.
