POWER SUPPLY
U P S
INTRODUCTION
An uninterruptible power supply or uninterruptible
power source (UPS) is an electrical apparatus that
provides emergency power to a load when the input
power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs
from an auxiliary or emergency power system or
standby generator in that it will provide near-
instantaneous protection from input power
interruptions.
These devices or devices provide electrical energy
to equipment known as critical loads, such as
industrial, medical, or computer devices, which, as
mentioned above, always need to have power,
their quality being very important, since they have
the need to be operational at all times and
without any type of failure, such as voltage drops
or spikes.
FUNCTIONING
UPS (SAI) provide electrical power to equipment called critical loads, such as
medical, industrial or computer devices that require permanent and quality power,
to be always operational and without failures (voltage spikes or drops).
The unit of power to configure a UPS is the volt-ampere (VA), which is the
apparent power, or the watt (W), which is the active power, also called effective
or effective power, consumed by the system.
FUNCTIONING
They use cheaper technology than Online and this is the main reason why
most people choose them.
UPS Offline / Basic
Optimum UPSs are similar to Offline UPSs, but add protection against
Interactive / Optimal voltage spikes or sudden drops in power. It is usually recommended to
improve the quality of the electrical supply.
What is it for?
source of electrical energy, and
are responsible for supplying or
supplying
The mean time between failures is 200,000 to 400,000 hours (large UPS
power supply), 150,000 to 220,000 hours (medium UPS power supply);
Parallel capability requires UPS uninterruptible power supply to have direct
parallel output capability.
The current imbalance is 2% to 5%. The value should be as small as possible.
It should have remote monitoring, fault alarm, and operating status
recording functions; it should have lightning protection, surge suppression,
and antistatic discharge functions.
