How long can UPS equipment supply power? UPS manufacturers have industrial UPS power supplies with 10 minutes, 30 minutes and other types. Is the UPS time longer the better? In fact, it is better to control the UPS time within 8 hours. Why is this?
UPS is an uninterruptible power supply with energy storage device. It is mainly used to provide uninterrupted power supply to some devices that require high power stability. When the mains input is normal, the UPS will stabilize the mains and supply it to the load. At this time, the UPS is an AC voltage stabilizer, and it also charges the battery inside the machine; when the mains is interrupted (accidental power failure) When the UPS is switched on, the UPS will immediately supply 220V AC power to the load by switching the DC power of the battery to the load, so that the load can maintain normal operation and protect the software and hardware of the load from damage. UPS devices usually provide protection against overvoltage or undervoltage.
When using uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, people tend to unilaterally believe that there is no need to maintain batteries. However, the data show that there is about one third UPS host failure or abnormal operation caused by battery failure. Therefore, it is more and more important to strengthen the proper use and maintenance of UPS battery for prolonging the service life of batteries and then reducing the failure rate of UPS system.
UPS power system consists of 4 parts: rectification, energy storage, transformation and on-off control. UPS realizes the function of voltage stabilization with rectifier, which is generally a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) or high-frequency switching rectifier. The rectifier controls the output amplitude according to the change of external power supply; when the external power supply changes (the change should meet the system requirements), it outputs a rectified voltage whose amplitude keeps unchanged. Purification function of UPS is completed by the energy storage battery. As the rectifier cannot eliminate instantaneous pulse interference, the rectified voltage still has interference pulse. Energy storage battery can not only store DC power, but also plays a role of large-capacity capacitor for the rectifier, its equivalent capacitance is proportional to the capacity of energy storage battery. As the voltage at both ends of the capacitor can’t change suddenly, the pulse interference is eliminated due to the smoothness property of capacitor for pulses, thus realizing the purification, as well as the shielding against interference. Converter guarantees a stable frequency of uninterruptible power supply. Frequency stability is determined by the stability of the converter's oscillation frequency. To facilitate daily operation and maintenance of UPS power system, an operating switch, automatic bypass switch after fault self-checking, overhaul bypass switch are designed in this system.
