Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Explained
Uninterruptible Power Supply Comparison We created a simple table that breaks down the pros and cons of each of each type of uninterruptible power supply. Bottom line:
Unlike a common emergency power system or standby generator, an uninterruptible power supply can provide nearly instantaneous protection from input power interruptions by using the energy stored in the batteries. The four main functional components of a UPS system are batteries, inverter, rectifier, and static bypass switch.
In this blog, we'll explore the different types of uninterruptible power supply systems, how they differ in operations, and the levels of protection they provide your critical load. The three most common types of UPS systems are standby (offline), line-interactive, and online double conversion.
Typically, according to different working principles, UPS power supply covers standby (offline) UPS, line-interactive UPS, online (double-conversion) UPS. The standby UPS system offers only the most basic features, providing surge protection and battery backup. Thus, its power supply quality is not good enough and the cost is much lower.
If you are concerned about data security and how to continue your online task despite power interruption or drop in voltage, investing in an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) might save the day. In today's world, UPS is becoming increasingly popular as they save you from losing important data owing to power outages.
