Various Types Of Uninterruptible Power Supply

By Scott Rodgers

Computer has emerged as a basic need today. In this technical era everyone is dependent on computer for working. Now in such scenario backing up a computer is very essential to maintain its durability and have uninterrupted service.

This backup can be provided by Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The battery used in a UPS provide backup to the system after power failure. This battery should be kept charged so that it can help during power cut off and enable us to shut down the system as it should be done to add years to its circuit.

Many times we have seen people shouting like I lost all my important data. It is all because of the reason that he has not saved the document and there is a sudden power cut off. The best equipment that can help him in this scenario is a UPS, it also save your system from ups and downs of electricity flow.

If you do not have a UPS, go today only and buy a new UPS and attach it to your computer to stay away from the risk of losing data. Besides a lead acidic battery, a UPS also have a DC to AC converter and a surge suppressor.

Whenever there is a power failure or power fluctuation, UPS starts its working. In case of power failure it uses its DC charge, changes it to AC and gives continuous backup of 10-15 minutes to your PC.

Various kinds of UPS are available in the market like Offline Standby, Online and Line Interactive. Offline Standby is effective, cheap and acts like a surge suppressor when main power supply is there. Backup starts during fluctuation of electricity and it does not need line conditioning.

When you will use Online UPS, you will not find any delay in between power outage and UPS starting. It is little costly but delivers continuous and invariable flow of electricity. However, Line Interactive UPS is similar to Standby UPS and tolerates under voltage and over voltage easily. It also has an extra multi-tap variable-voltage auto transformer in it.

Unit used to calculate the load size of a UPS is VA (Voltage*Amp). A UPS load should never surpass 60 percent of mentioned VA. Therefore, we can say that UPS solves our problem on power failure, voltage up and down, frequency variation etc. - 33393
