If your load is crucial for operation then the improved benefit of online double conversion
technology need to be used. This supplies more security against all power disturbances and also the
comfort of a fall-back bypass in case a fault develops together with the UPS. You could want to
parallel together UPS and once again, this can only be accomplished with online double conversion
UPS. (We'll cover parallel systems and redundancy in a separate paper). For those who have a
Computer exactly where you happen to be hunting for easy battery backup to cease annoyance
rebooting or tripping then an offline or line interactive unit would suffice.
Offline and line interactive UPS Systems are typically quiet in operation and usually do not utilise
cooling fans in typical operation (generally). This implies they are appropriate to be placed in an
office or home environment. Online Double Conversion UPS systems need forced cooling and can be
really noisy and for that reason tend to not be suitable for use in an office atmosphere.
Should you are running your UPS in conjunction with an emergency backup generator then the
benefits of online double conversion technologies come for the fore, as the UPS will cover for any
transition to generator operation as well as give a constant unchanging power source during
generator get started up and any shifts that could occur in frequency and or voltage throughout load
switching.
Offline UPS have a tendency to be the smallest of all technologies so can be beneficial to supply
emergency ride by means of for regions where space is at a premium.
Long runtimes on UPS are improved handled with online UPS Systems. This is because they're
created to operate continually in the inverter. In which case it doesn't matter in the event the input
power is in the rectifier or the battery - the operation is the exact same. Offline and Line Interactive
units have a tendency to not be developed for this continuous operation. (Battery selection and
runtime might be covered within a separate paper.) It is also unwise to power any equipment having
a square wave inverter for any prolonged time period as you might bring about degradation to
electronic elements. Square wave systems are developed to let simple pc systems to ride by means
of brief power outages or time for you to shut down a system inside the event of a prolonged power
cut.
