Why preventive maintenance is required for Industrial UPS?

Austere manufacturing process and strict quality controls describes that the modern UPS systems are more reliable and reduce the chances of failure as compared to conventional technologies. Now a days, there is less need to regularly calibrate the units, as UPS technology has moved towards digital processors.

Businesses think that modern uninterrupted power supply systems does not require any service or preventive maintenance during their warranty period. UPS are considered to be most reliable but there are certain variables that can affect the performance of the UPS systems in the long run. UPS for datacentres and large businesses sometimes handle extreme critical downtime and at that time to perform with full efficiency industrial power backup require timely preventive maintenance. Believing on fact that not investing in reliable service contract will save the money. This might not be your saving but a risk that include identification and addresses of a potential fault, possible causing thousands of downtime and machine parts failure. 

Manufacturing companies are providing annual maintenance contracts for their UPS systems as an additional assurance of continuous power supply that will protect their critical infrastructure of a businesses in the event of power failure.

Opting for an AMC may cost you more initially but there are no hidden costs involved rather it will give peace to the mind at the time of critical downtime that potential failure will be resolved before the problem occurs. A basic service contract will be more cost effective but can generate large repair bills if the UPS or its battery fails. The purpose of preventive maintenance is timely UPS repair service needed to anticipate a fault before it happens.
