What happens when you are working on your desktop and suddenly power goes off? The screen turns black and you wish you could have saved the file you edited or the work you did. The reason for power glitch could be anything; excessive power consumption or overload. To avoid above situation and save the work done UPS (uninterruptible power supply) or battery backup are generally used.

UPS can be defined as an electrical device, which is used to supply electrical power back up when the main input power fails. A UPS is typically used to protect hardware such as computers, data centers, telecommunication equipment or other electrical equipment where an unexpected power disruption could cause injuries, fatalities, serious business disruption or data loss. UPS units range in size from units designed to protect a single computer without a video monitor to large units powering entire data centers or buildings A UPS generally protects a computer against four different power problems:

  • Voltage surges and spikes - Times when the voltage on the line is greater than it should be.
  • Voltage sags - Times when the voltage on the line is less than it should be.
  • Total power failure - Times when a line goes down or a fuse blows somewhere on the grid or in the building.
  • Frequency differences - Times when the power is oscillating at something other than standard hertz.

Types of UPS

A UPS is not designed to let you continue to use your computer for hours and hours until the power comes back on. If properly chosen, a UPS will give enough time to save and do an orderly shutdown Many UPSs now offer a software component that enables you to automate backup and shut down procedures in case there's a power failure while you're away from the computer. There are two basic types of UPS systems: Standby Power Systems (SPSs) and on-line UPS systems.

  • Standby Power Systems monitors the power line and switches to battery power as soon as it detects a problem. The switch to battery, however, can require several milliseconds, during which time the computer is not receiving any power. Standby Power Systems are sometimes called Line-interactive UPSes.
  • Online UPS avoids these momentary power lapses by constantly providing power from its own inverter, even when the power line is functioning properly. In general, on-line UPSs are much more expensive than SPSs. Both SPS and online UPS systems are widely used in domestic, commercial and corporate sectors.

Whether power disturbances or how much energy you use - Riello UPS has developed a range of solutions and software that enable you to make informed decisions regarding your power consumption, usage and protection.
