SUMMARY OF ADVANTAGES OF UPS WITH ISOLATION TRANSFORMER

1. ROBUST DESIGN: Transformer-less UPS devices are susceptible to

interference from spikes and transients The 'dirty' mains that this produces can be
transferred through a UPS, and feeds the connected load.
2. ISOLATED PROTECTION: Transformer itself constitutes a physical barrier, a
transformer-based online UPS completely isolates the load from the worst
vagaries of the mains supply.
3. BEST SUITED TO BAD POWER MAPS: In circumstances where the load is
likely to be affected by a very large variation in its power supply, a Transformer-
based UPS provides a safer and more robust solution than transformer less
technology - simply because its size and construction affords some inertia
between the input and output waveforms, with no additional electronic filtering
required.
4. SUPERIOR OUTPUT POWER: Transformer-based UPSs inherently contain
galvanic isolation the power supply fed to the load is invariably superior to the
mains supply itself.
5. MEET THE BEST ELECTRICAL STANDARDS: Latest electrical standards
for medical installations (BS-EN60601 and 61558-2) actually require that critical
devices be connected through a Galvanic Isolation transformer, rather than
directly to the raw mains.
6. HIGHER MTBF: Major advantage of transformer-based UPS devices is their
higher mean time before failure (MTBF).
7. MORE RELIABLE DESIGN: inherently more reliable by design than a
corresponding electronic circuit board assembly. Transformer-less UPS are more
prone to failure on sites where there is a high degree of mains borne pollution
such as transients, spikes and electrical noise.
