Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
Four reasons for installing them:

A range of UPS systems.
- To provide power in case of a BLACKOUT. This is the most typical function of the UPS, though not the most important.
- To provide a QUALITY POWER SUPPLY, by filtering and stabilising the power source which may be the mains supply or a Generator and may be affected by power disturbances.
- INDEPENDENT MANAGEMENT: With a UPS, the user’s worries are over. In a blackout, the UPS will automatically protect all open programs and, in the case of a failure, will alert service technicians.
- GREATLY ENHANCED RELIABILITY of the power supply network by means of redundant solutions to ensure high quality, continuous power even when a failure occurs.
General comments on UPS operation
UPS systems normally consist of three main components:
- A rectifier-battery charger to convert AC voltage into DC voltage to charge the battery
- A battery pack (usually sealed lead acid) to store the power and recover it instantaneously as required, for periods of 5 to 30 minutes or even longer
- A static converter (inverter) to convert the DC voltage into AC voltage and supply a perfectly filtered and stabilised voltage and frequency
These three functions can be integrated with additional features like an automatic bypass to guarantee continuous power supply in cases of overloads or UPS faults, a manual bypass that completely isolates the UPS, and various local or remote signalling and maintenance options.
