HOW TO DECIDE WHAT UPS TO CHOOSE

ActologMarch 10, 2021March 10, 2021

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), offers guaranteed power protection for
connected electronics. Making the right choice when buying a UPS is critical for
the safety of all your devices. If you are new to the world of uninterruptible
power supply (UPS), consider this as your definitive guide to choosing the right
backup solution for your home or business.

 

What is a UPS?

A UPS basically is a device that provides battery backup when the electrical
power fails or drops to an unacceptable voltage level. It helps prevent loss of
data and minimizes the stress a hard shutdown causes on your electronic
equipment. It also provides clean power and surge protection for plugged-in,
sensitive equipment.

Actolog, the official partners of Makelsan UPS, offers UPS options for Computers
& Peripherals, Networks & Servers, as well as Data Centers & Facilities.

What are the Types of UPS to Choose From?

There are basically three categories of UPS system configurations to choose
from.

 1. Online (Double Conversion),
 2. Line-interactive (Smart) UPS and
 3. Offline (Backup) or Standby UPS.

These UPS systems are defined by how power moves through the unit. The True
Online double conversion system converts incoming power to direct current (DC)
and then converted back to AC. This AC-DC/DC- AC design ensures an increased
degree of isolation of the load from the irregularities on the main supply. This
means there will be no transfer time between the main power source and battery,
providing greater protection against spikes, sags, electrical noise, and
complete power failure. The True Online (Double Conversion) is a high-range
topology

The Line-interactive (Smart) UPS on the other hand provides both power
conditioning and battery backup. This technology is particularly effective in
areas where outages are rare, but power fluctuations are common.
Line-interactive UPS systems support a wide range of input voltage fluctuations
before switching to battery backup. Beyond battery backup, line-interactive UPS
provides far better control over power fluctuations than offline systems. The
critical advantage of line-interactive UPS is the voltage boost circuitry and
the range of input voltage that the UPS accepts. The wider the range, the more
total protection you will have.

Important to note: The Line-interactive UPS is a mid-range topology and should
not be mistaken for the Online UPS. Most IT/Facility Managers confuse one with
the other because some of the UPS comes in rack-mount. A solution for this is to
request the datasheet of the brand.

The Offline UPS, also called standby UPS or battery backup is a cost-effective
choice. It is the most basic out of the three. It provides light surge
protection and battery back-up. During normal operations, it gets its power from
its main power source (generally an AC outlet). Once it senses that the main
power source goes beyond acceptable limits or fails, it switches to the
“offline/standby” battery where it will then go to the DC/AC inverter – as such,
there will be a small transfer time between the main power source and battery.
It is a low-range topology. Examples of this include 500/650/1200va UPS.

 

Comparing the three: When to choose the Online, Offline or Line- UPS and Why?

When to Choose the Online UPS?

 1. When to operate the sensitive and important devices and equipment with
    continuous power supply without switching operations.
 2. When there are no concerns about the operation, installation, and
    maintenance cost as the online UPS system is costly than the offline UPS
    system due to the additional parts in the online uninterruptible power
    supply.
 3. When the main power supply fluctuates frequently or daily scheduled load
    shading and power outage.
 4. When you need the simultaneous operation of connected devices for a longer
    time duration like in the financial or medical sector where equipment needs
    to run continuously. Learn more about some of our Online UPS >

When to Choose the Line-interactive UPS?

 1. If you have light sag and surges, plus it has lower electric consumption.
    The line UPS is good enough for you.
 2. Also if you want a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective UPS, the
    line-interactive is the way to go. See related product here >

When to Choose the Offline UPS?

 1. When cost is the major and considerable factor.
 2. When switching is not a big issue i.e. you are OK to use it with auto or
    manual change-over or transfer switch between main power, portable generator
    or emergency generator set, solar or battery power.

Bottom line:

Each of these serves various purposes. The Offline (Backup) or Standby UPS is
the most basic, and they are good for applications like home computers,
printers, or scanners. However, it has limited protection for sag and spikes and
its output is not perfectly reliable.

The Line-interactive UPS  would be suitable for light sag and surges. It has
lower electric consumption. If you want a reliable, efficient, and
cost-effective UPS, the line-interactive is the way to go. The disadvantage here
is that if AC is unstable, the battery will be used more often.

The Online UPS is the most reliable and offers the best protection, making them
ideal for motor applications or situations where you can’t afford any transfer
time. The best uses are for data centers or intensive care units. In most cases,
most users with highly-critical loads will inevitably choose online UPS
topology; its ability to protect sensitive equipment and data from mains
problems at all times far outweighs any extra cost consideration – especially as
modern UPS hardware has become highly efficient in operation, significantly
reducing excess operating costs.

     I wish to show some thanks to the writer for bailing me out of this
     scenario. Because of surfing through the the net and obtaining tips that
     were not powerful, I assumed my life was well over. Existing without the
     presence of approaches to the issues you have resolved by means of your
     good write-up is a serious case, and the kind which may have adversely
     affected my career if I hadn’t encountered your blog. Your good talents and
     kindness in controlling all things was tremendous. I am not sure what I
     would have done if I hadn’t come upon such a subject like this. I’m able to
     at this time relish my future. Thanks a lot so much for the reliable and
     sensible guide. I won’t think twice to propose your web page to anyone who
     should get support on this area.
