UPS for Dummies

In today's world of technology, it is good for people to be familiar with the handy equipment that can save them lots of energy, time, and distress because of loss of electricity supply. UPS is one such useful device. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is used to protect electronics in case of power surges and blackouts so that the attached devices get an unremitting supply of power. A smart UPS is simple and cost-effective. A bigger battery size adds to its smartness as it allows greater backup time by keeping on supplying conditioned power stored in its batteries for longer periods. So, a smart UPS is one which has an extended battery life or battery capacity and draws less power or percentage load when it is on charging. A single phase UPS is always smarter than a three phase UPS as it is lower in price and higher in efficiency comparatively. In a smart UPS, the AC output is closer to the sinusoidal output which is an issue most important in case of on-line UPS’s which continuously have to supply waveforms to the computer systems. If internet has been connected on the UPS, then a smart UPS is able to communicate with its monitoring software through the network connection. A smart UPS is capable of efficiently protecting the connected devices from electricity fluctuations, electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) which is also called dirty power. It saves amount that is spent on hardware by offering better results with simpler equipment. It is easier in installation by a lay man. It also saves on-going costs by demanding fewer repairs. In short, a smart UPS has less downtime, large battery life, simple equipment, and more output with enhanced productivity.
