Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Uninterruptible Power Supply

Definition
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a component used in electrical equipment manufacturing to maintain continuous operation of connected devices during power interruptions. It serves as an interface between the primary power source and backup generators, providing immediate power during the transition period. The UPS continuously charges its internal batteries while mains power is available. When a power failure is detected, an inverter converts DC battery power to AC power within milliseconds, ensuring an uninterrupted power flow until mains power is restored or backup generators take over. This device is critical for applications where even a brief power loss can cause data loss, equipment damage, or process disruption. The UPS is available in various configurations, with output power capacities ranging from 1 to 100 kVA, input voltage ranges from 120 to 276 V AC, and output voltage regulation of ±1%. Transfer time can be as low as zero milliseconds for online double-conversion models, while efficiency in online mode ranges from 90% to 96%. Battery backup time varies from 5 to 120 minutes at full load, extendable with additional battery packs. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 40°C, with derating above 40°C, and relative humidity up to 95% non-condensing. Ingress protection ratings range from IP20 to IP54, and noise levels are between 45 and 65 dB(A) at 1 meter. Dimensions and weight vary widely depending on power and battery configuration. When selecting a UPS, consider total load and required backup time, and verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.
Working Principle
The UPS continuously charges its internal batteries while mains power is available. When a power failure is detected, an inverter converts DC battery power to AC power within milliseconds, maintaining uninterrupted power flow to connected devices until mains power is restored or until backup generators take over. This ensures that critical equipment remains operational during power interruptions.
