Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) | Schneider Electric Hong Kong, China. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are crucial for ensuring consistent power delivery to sensitive electronic devices. These systems provide immediate power from their batteries when regular power sources fail or fluctuate beyond safe levels.
However, during transmission and distribution, it is subject to voltage sags, spikes and outages that can disrupt computer operations, cause data loss and damage equipment. The uninterruptible power supplies protect the connected equipment from power problems and provide battery backup during power outages.
First class power protection for critical infrastructure. Highly efficient 160 -1125kVA -480V and 160 -1000kVA 400V 3 phase UPS power protection that seamlessly integrates into medium data centers, industrial or facilities applications. Trusted partner for your business continuity
UPS systems play a vital role in preventing data loss and hardware damage during power outages. They also offer surge protection, safeguarding connected devices from voltage spikes. This protection is particularly important in areas prone to unstable power supply or frequent electrical storms.
Currently, there are three types of the UPS systems: online, offline and line-interactive. Each of them has advantages and is more suitable for some applications than others. The online UPS excels in providing high reliability and power protection. It is designed to provide continuous power to the connected load.
The batteries and battery management systems, constitute critical components of the UPS. The UPS uses mainly lead-acid and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Lead-acid batteries are reliable, cost-effective and have low internal resistance. On the other hand, they are robust, therefore suitable where weight and space are not an issue.
