Abstract:
Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator may include a power supply unit configured to power the refrigerator using commercial power, a battery coupled to the power supply unit and configured to supply auxiliary power to the refrigerator, a power detection unit coupled to the power supply unit and the battery and configured to detect whether power is being supplied from the power supply unit, a driving unit to provide cold air, and a controller configured to control an operational mode of the driving unit based on the detection at the power detection unit. When the power supply unit is supplying power, the driving unit may be controlled to operate in a normal operation mode, and when the power supply unit is not supplying power, the driving unit may be controlled to operate in a power failure operation mode and to control the power to be supplied from the battery.

Abstract:
A power determining apparatus is disclosed. The power determining apparatus includes a sensor for sensing a current or voltage supplied from a commercial power source or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and a controller for analyzing a current or voltage signal sent from the sensor, and determining which one of the commercial power source and the UPS supplies power, based on results of the analysis.
