UPS System

What is UPS system?

An UPS stands for uninterruptible power supply. UPS is a device that provides backup power to protect equipment from damage when the electric supply not available. UPS are commonly used in computer systems, data servers, industrial devices, medical and laboratory systems.

Types of UPS
1) Linear interactive UPS
Linear interactive UPS is common design used for small businesses and servers. This UPS automatically regulate voltage when it is too high or too low so, it helps to save battery life.
2) Online UPS
This UPS most common type of UPS. It is also known as double conversion system. It has DC to AC converter. When power is fails or not available then backup power take from online UPS. Online UPS used in critical equipment.
3) Standby UPS
It also known as offline UPS or VFD (voltage and frequency dependent) UPS. It can automatically switch to battery power when it detects an electrical failure. It can protect against blackouts, voltage surges and spikes.
4) Hybrid UPS
When there is electrical supply not available in equipment hybrid UPS can generate electricity from a combination of sources like solar energy, batteries or generator.
Rating of UPS

Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are rated in kilowatts (KW), Kilo-Volt-Amperes (KVA) or volt amperes (VA).

Why UPS is required for load bank testing?

Load bank testing is a way to calculate the performance and battery health of UPS system by applying dummy load to it. It is important to use UPS system for load bank testing because:

  1. Identify weaknesses : Load bank testing can helps to identify potential problems in an UPS system before they cause downtime.
  2. Access battery health :Load bank testing can help to identify weak or degraded batteries that may need to be replaced.
  3. Measure runtime :Load bank testing can help to determine how long a UPS will perform an emergency
Which type of load bank used for UPS system?
1) Resistive Load Bank
A resistive load bank is a type of load bank that can be used to test uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system.
2) Inductive Load Bank
UPS system can be used with Inductive load bank to perform full power system testing.
Summary

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are used to provide uninterrupted, reliable and high quality power for sensitive loads. Applications of UPS systems include medical facilities, life supporting systems, data storage and computer systems, emergency equipment, telecommunications, Industrial processing and online management systems.
