The Problem with Power - Sags, surges, noise, spikes, blackouts. what really happens to connected devices when they experience a power anomaly? The Different Types of UPS Systems -There is much confusion in the marketplace about the different types of UPS systems and their characteristics. Each of these UPS types is defined, practical applications of each are discussed, and advantages and disadvantages are listed. With this information, an educated decision can be made as to the appropriate UPS topology for a given need.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies and Power Protection Devices
Surge protectors: Simple devices that can only protect against large spikes and surges while allowing small voltage increases to pass. Over time, though, this can cause damage to sensitive computer equipment.
Battery backup systems: Devices that protect computer systems from power failures such as brownouts and blackouts. They are connected to a power mains outlet and use a rechargeable battery to power the connected device(s). Battery backup systems are either standby power supplies (SPSs) or uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs).
Standby power supplies (SPSs): Inexpensive devices that provide basic levels of protection, SPSs work by switching between power and battery when a power failure occurs, resulting in a tiny period of time during which the connected device has no power. Most computers can handle this, but it can result in system lockups.
Uninterruptible power supplies ;Devices that provide a significant amount of protection against many types of power problems as a result of the battery being the single source of power for connected devices.
Line conditioners: Line noise is the cause of many types of system problems, including random lockups, reboots and crashes. A line conditioner filters line noise and delivers clean power to connected devices.
Business benefits of Power Surge Protection solutions
The benefits resulting from the implementation of an effective power supply solution can include:
less instances of data loss resulting from unexpected desktop and server failure
protection from desktop and server damage resulting from power spikes and surges
the ability for crucial network devices to continue operating despite mains power loss
immediate warning to users and IT administrators of mains power loss.
