Brasilia AC Uninterruptible Power Supply

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is defined as a piece of electrical equipment which can be used as an immediate power source to the connected load when there is a failure in the main input power source. In a UPS, the energy is generally stored in flywheels, batteries, or super capacitors.

What is the input power supply for an AC-AC UPS?

An AC-AC UPS is the optimum option for backing up devices with an AC input power supply. During normal operation, the input power supply bypasses the UPS and is output as-is.

What type of UPS is best for devices with a DC input power supply?

A DC-DC UPS is the optimum option for backing up devices with a DC input power supply. You can also use a UPS together with a switch mode power supply to further increase your options. An AC-AC UPS is the optimum option for backing up devices with an AC input power supply.

What is the UPS Configuration Utility?

The UPS Configuration Utility is software for configuring UPS settings. It allows you to easily change UPS settings, set the maximum backup time, backup the UPS settings to a file, and transfer settings to another UPS.

How to determine the reliability and availability of a UPS system?

To determine the reliability and availability of a UPS system, a method based on Monte Carlo simulation was used in [6, 7]. Furthermore, techniques, such as fault tree analysis and Bayesian networks , have been employed to document a number of system parameters to determine the probability of system failure.

What happens if power supply stops suddenly?

If power supply to devices stops because of an instantaneous voltage drop or a power failure, devices such as PCs or registers shut down abnormally, which can damage hard disks and corrupt the data. A UPS can help prevent such power supply problems.
