What Is An UPS System?
Most commonly used are the small UPS contraptions that can conveniently be placed alongside a desktop PC to power it in case of a utility failure. However they do not provide the ideal protection against brownouts and spikes. This is the reason why you need to have a proper UPS system that can supply energy as well as shield your PC.
An UPS system is basically an on-line system that has the ability to transform AC power from the main source to DC power to be stored in the battery and back to AC power to be supplied to connected equipments during an unexpected power failure. This kind of an UPS system is capable of providing an uninterrupted power supply along with complete security against brownouts and spikes.
UPS systems generally refer to more than one UPS working in conjunction with another UPS, thereby providing superfluous energy and better security to equipments. Power is stored in the UPS system in batteries, most common of which are the lead acid batteries that can last anywhere from 4 to 5 years.
The capacity of these UPS power supplies is determined by the usage requirement that can be evaluated by the number of equipments that will ultimately use its power source. As they support a vast number of equipments, it is essential that a regular scrutiny of the systems be maintained so as to ascertain proper service at all times.
However, the UPS systems cannot provide unlimited power and maybe restricted to a provision of energy for say a few days or probably a week. It is therefore necessary to have a back up resource such as a generator. The two work together to provide uninterrupted power supply to a vast number of equipments and at the same time safeguard them from disruptions such as brownouts and Spikes.
There are three types of UPS systems available that include on-line, line interactive and standby UPS systems. The standby UPS is the least expensive and can provide protection for up to 20 minutes. However, it consists of rudimentary attributes offering only surge defence and backup energy. It does not have the ability to monitor the battery nor can it self-test its potential, making it vulnerable to a sudden unexpected collapse. They cannot hence be considered a reliable option for your equipments.
The line interactive UPS is more or less like the standby UPS but for the fact that it consists of an auto transformer that can plus or minus power coils and in turn control the output electrical energy of the transformer. It can withhold low voltage brownouts and high voltage surges. An on-line UPS though similar in technology, has a more powerful charger and an advanced cooling system and costs much more than the other two UPS systems.
An on-line UPS system scores a point above the standby and the line interactive UPS systems as it offers a protective electric firewall between the inward bound energy and the vulnerable equipment. It is hence a more feasible option if you are considering buying a UPS system.
