Computer has emerged as a basic need today. In this technical era everyone is dependent on computer for working. Now in such scenario backing up a computer is very essential to maintain its durability and have uninterrupted service.
This backup can be provided by Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The battery used in a UPS provide backup to the system after power failure. This battery should be kept charged so that it can help during power cut off and enable us to shut down the system as it should be done to add years to its circuit.
In case of sudden power failure UPS helps in saving all the open applications, documents and reduces the chances of losing the unsaved data. Additionally, a UPS sets the constant electricity flow into your system saving it from undesirable power surges or spikes when main power returns.
Installing a UPS is very easy, just connect your computer's wire to the UPS and then attach UPS to power supply socket. A UPS not only contain a lead acidic battery but it also contains a surge suppressor and a DC to AC converter.
A UPS continuously detects the flow of electricity and whenever it detects a drop in electricity, it converts its DC charge to AC and provides power to your computer for around 10-15 minutes.
We will now talk about the different types of UPS that we can use. Offline Standby, Online and Line Interactive are the three types of UPS used generally. Offline standby is not only economical but it is also very efficient. It performs like a surge suppressor when main supply is on and starts battery backup whenever there is fluctuation in electricity.
The Online UPS, conditions the flow of electricity and there is no gap between power outages and UPS start up. However, it costs much more than other two. The Line-Interactive UPS is similar in operation to a Standby UPS but with the addition of a multi-tap variable-voltage auto transformer. This type of UPS is able to tolerate continuous under voltage and over voltage surges without consuming the limited reserve battery power.
To find out the amount of load a UPS can bear VA (Voltage*Amp) is used. It can not bear a load beyond 60% of stated VA. UPS is useful during power failures, voltage drop, voltage spike, line noise, frequency deviation, harmonic distortion etc. - 29955
