What is a UPS?

Uninterruptible Power Supply

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) serves as a crucial device positioned between the main power supply and critical equipment, safeguarding against power fluctuations or failures.

This system ensures uninterrupted power by supplying backup power, typically derived from batteries, in the event of a mains power failure or voltage drop beyond acceptable levels.

We offer both single-phase and three-phase UPS systems to cater to diverse requirements. Our team is ready to assist you in finding the perfect solution for your needs. Simply reach out to us for expert guidance.

For smaller setups, compact UPS systems are available, designed to be plugged into the nearest power socket. These systems come with integral batteries that provide a few minutes of backup power, sufficient for a proper shutdown of computers and related equipment. Extended backup times can be achieved by incorporating additional battery enclosures.

Larger UPS systems, depending on their power rating, can be equipped with internal batteries and/or supplementary battery enclosures. The batteries can be housed in matching enclosures or cladded battery stands. Open battery racks are also an option.

In scenarios requiring significantly longer battery backup durations, a generator can be employed to provide input power to the UPS system. This alternative can offer cost-effectiveness compared to relying solely on batteries.

Moreover, UPS systems can be configured to send alerts to fileservers, enabling an orderly shutdown process when an outage is detected. This ensures data integrity and prevents any potential damage or loss.
