This circuit is a power management system that steps down a 240V AC input to a lower DC voltage using a buck converter, which then powers a 40W UPS. The UPS is controlled by a rocker switch and is backed up by a battery management system (BMS) connected to three 3.7V batteries in series, ensuring continuous power supply.
This circuit is designed to provide an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system with a 12V DC output. It includes a 12V 5A power supply connected to an AC source through a toggle switch, which charges a pair of 18650 Li-ion batteries via a voltage regulator (XL4016). The UPS module ensures a continuous power supply to the load by switching between the power supply and the battery bank.
This circuit is designed to provide a stable power supply from various sources. It integrates a solar panel with a solar charge controller to charge a 12V battery, which is then connected to a UPS module for regulated output. The circuit also includes two 12v to 5v step-down power converters to supply 5V power, one of which powers an ESP32 Devkit V1 microcontroller, and a switching power supply to provide an alternative AC to DC conversion input to the UPS module.
This circuit is a sensor and display system powered by a UPS module with a 12V power supply and 18650 batteries. It includes an ESP32 microcontroller that interfaces with various sensors (DHT22, Strain Gauge, MPU-6050, ADXL345) and an OLED display, with power regulation provided by a step-down buck converter.

Usage Instructions
How to Use the UHP-350-24 in a Circuit
Mounting: Secure the power supply in a well-ventilated area to ensure proper heat dissipation. Avoid enclosing it in a sealed box unless adequate ventilation is provided.
Input Connection:
Connect the AC mains supply to the L (Live) and N (Neutral) terminals.
Connect the FG terminal to the earth ground for safety.
Output Connection:
Connect the load to the V+ (positive) and V- (negative) terminals.
Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum output current of 14.6A.
Voltage Adjustment:
If necessary, use the V ADJ potentiometer to fine-tune the output voltage within the ±10% range (21.6V to 26.4V).
Power On:
After verifying all connections, power on the AC mains supply. The power supply will begin delivering a stable 24V DC output.
Important Considerations and Best Practices
Input Voltage: Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (90-264VAC or 127-370VDC).
Load Requirements: Do not exceed the maximum power output of 350W or the maximum current of 14.6A.
Cooling: Although the UHP-350-24 is fanless, ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating.
Safety: Always connect the FG terminal to earth ground to minimize electrical hazards.
Voltage Adjustment: Use the V ADJ potentiometer carefully to avoid overvoltage, which could damage connected devices.
Example: Connecting to an Arduino UNO
The UHP-350-24 can be used to power an Arduino UNO and other peripherals. Below is an example of how to connect it:
Connect the V+ terminal of the power supply to the Arduino's VIN pin.
Connect the V- terminal of the power supply to the Arduino's GND pin.
Ensure the output voltage is set to 24V (or adjust it to 12V if using a voltage regulator for the Arduino).
