You might have already created up your thoughts which technology you will need, but let's take a
look at relative expenses. Offline UPS systems used to be by far the least expensive. Nonetheless
today an offline UPS and a line interactive square wave unit are normally related prices. Online
Double Conversion used to be far more expensive than other technologies, but now is comparable
to a top quality sine-wave line interactive UPS.
With regard to running costs, the offline UPS could be the most efficient as in normal operation the
input power goes straight by means of to the load, so the only power loss will be to preserve the
battery float charged and power the UPS logic. Line Interactive units are similar in efficiency but
experience far more losses resulting from the transformer expected for the buck and increase
facility. Online Double Conversion on the other hand, has the drawback of being the least effective
on the technologies.
In summary, for simple low price battery backup then the offline or line interactive square wave
systems are suitable. For higher grade protection within a quiet environment, or exactly where your
load kind demands it, go for a sine-wave line interactive unit. Nevertheless, if you'd like the ideal
power solution, then we recommend online double conversion technologies because it is compatible
with all load forms and supplies the highest degrees of power protection.
