An Uninterruptible Power Supply system backs up power systems and provides protection from mains failures (e.g. overload). In the event of a total interruption of power supply, the UPS system takes over the supply while discharging the connected batteries. Why do I need a UPS system? Minimising the downtime of systems towards zero has become an indispensable goal for I.T. and industrial processes. The UPS system will help you to eliminate downtime caused by power outages or voltage drop. The power of my system is only indicated in Watts. Absolutely no problem. We will calculate your power in VA using a power factor. How long can a UPS system supply the load in the event of a power outage? Autonomy time or bridging time depends on the capacity (Ah) of the battery system. The standard bridging time of our UPS systems is about 10 minutes. In any case we will be happy to offer you a battery system that suits your needs, either a cabinet design or rack mounted. How long will the batteries in my UPS system last? Standard batteries of UPS systems have a lifespan of 5 years. Larger systems are often equipped with batteries that have a lifespan of 10-15 years. However, the product life strongly depends on the ambient air temperature. We recommend a surrounding temperature of 20°C. Which quality standards do USP systems by MASTERGUARD and Chloride comply with? The systems are manufactured in modern production facilities in compliance with ISO 9001 and BS 5750 standards. What is the difference between on-line UPS systems, interactive UPS systems and offline UPS systems? On-line systems offer the most effective level of protection. They provide excellent voltage regulation and, in addition, are so-called “no break“ systems, meaning that the user’s power supply is not interrupted. The UPS system constantly converts power from AC to DC to AC, thus always providing constant output voltage. Offline systems offer limited voltage regulation. In the event of a power outage, the load is not supplied for about 5 msecs. Interactive systems strike a balance between on-line and offline systems, regarding performance as well as price. They provide better voltage regulation than offline systems. Conversion time is around 50 microseconds. How can current peaks occur in an EDP system? Laser printers, for example, need a lot of current during switch on and warm up. Moreover, other loads, such as electrical heaters or vacuum cleaners should not be connected to the UPS as they often cause overloads. We are constantly working to extend this page.
