Uninterruptible Power Supply

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source fails. It falls under the supply class Converters, Electrical, Nonrotating in the supply group Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment.

UPS systems are commonly used to protect sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, servers, and telecommunications equipment, from power outages, voltage fluctuations, and other power-related issues. They ensure that the connected devices receive a continuous and stable power supply, even during power disruptions.

UPS systems typically consist of a battery or a bank of batteries, an inverter, and a rectifier. The rectifier converts the incoming AC power from the utility grid into DC power to charge the batteries. The inverter then converts the DC power from the batteries back into AC power to supply the load during power outages.

UPS systems come in various sizes and capacities, ranging from small units that can power a single computer or workstation to large systems that can provide backup power to an entire data center. They can be standalone devices or integrated into larger power distribution systems.

In addition to providing backup power, UPS systems often offer other features such as surge protection, voltage regulation, and power conditioning to ensure the connected equipment receives clean and stable power.

Overall, UPS systems are essential in environments where uninterrupted power is critical, such as data centers, hospitals, financial institutions, and other mission-critical applications.
