UPS system for Industrial facilities
Uninterrupted power (UPS) systems are important from small office to
large industries. We need to understand which types of UPS are required in
industries and what will be the requirements?
Industrial facilities must have power backup solutions
with some specified characteristics, such as -
1) As per load capacity, we need to
finalize the UPS. Higher power output is determined by the power of equipment
used in industries.
2) Compact design with advanced
features of diagnose, maintenance and repair of UPS systems provides easy access to all units of
system and minimizes the time that is required in replacing UPS components.
3) Components that are used while
manufacturing are intend to intend to increase the reliability of a systems.
Increasing cost of UPS but at same time, it is also increasing the life span of
equipment which provides support to electricity at the time of power outage.
Types of Industrial UPS systems
1) Standby
2) Line Interactive
3) Online
Standby are also known as Offline
UPS systems which are equipped with automatic switches. At the time of power
failure, it automatically switch the load on the batteries. They are not
expensive and are also not equipped with network voltage stabilizers and
require few minutes to switch the power to batteries. These type of UPS systems
are only useful at the time of short-term power outage.
Line-interactive are equipped with
transformers to control the output voltage due to which number of switching
power supplies to the batteries reduced and battery life is saved.
Online are basically a double
voltage conversion systems. From variable to constant and then back constant to
variable and are used to power large industrial equipment. Along with voltage
value it also stabilize amplitude, frequency and phase of the alternate
current. Online UPs are more reliable, highly efficient and high frequency UPS systems.
There are various industries and
according to their application, different UPS systems are required, as each
project is unique and needs to be optimized equipment for its own conditions.
For easy understanding we can divide in two –
1) The first includes
Uninterrupted power supply system are the one used to protect power failures in
the power supply of production processes and are known as Line interactive type
UPS.
2) The second
one are used in IT infrastructures for data storage systems or servers. For
such applications Online
UPS systems are beneficial.
