Is Your Business Protected? Uninterruptible Power Supply 101, by Nationwide Power
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are designed to keep businesses up and running when electricity supply is disrupted. For many industries, the cost of downtime is just too expensive.
LAS VEGAS, July 24, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are designed to keep businesses up and running when electricity supply is disrupted.
Potential impacts of power outages include:
UPS systems can help big time in a power outage, but that's not the only time UPS is important. The biggest benefits of UPS systems are: Continuity — In the event of a power outage, your UPS will seamlessly kick on. For businesses that rely on generator backup, this allows ample time to switch to the generator backup. For other businesses, operators now have an ability to safely shut down all computers and network equipment prior to a load loss. General protection — Utility power can be unpredictable. UPS systems actually clean the power flowing from utility to your power load.

UPS systems can help big time in a power outage, but that’s not the only time a UPS is important. The biggest benefits of UPS systems are:
- Continuity — In the event of a power outage, your UPS will seamlessly kick on. For businesses that rely on generator backup, this allows ample time to switch to the generator backup. For other businesses, operators now have an ability to safely shut down all computers and network equipment prior to a load loss.
- General protection — Utility power can be unpredictable. UPS systems actually clean the power flowing from utility to your power load. It’s true. Your UPS system can provide clean, consistent power regardless of the incoming condition by continuously monitoring incoming voltage and sensing surges, spikes and outages.
Uninterruptible power supply systems range drastically in size and cost. The two types of UPS systems are single phase and three phase. The output is measured by kVA (1000 volt amps). UPS systems are highly customized for the business type and power load it is supporting. Depending on the designated use, a UPS system can be as low as $100 or in excess of $50,000. In most cases, a Critical Power Professional™ should be consulted for UPS design and use.
Who uses UPS systems? Many individuals purchase single phase, low voltage UPS systems for home or personal use. For businesses, UPS systems have become a requirement for any industry that requires 100% up-time. Think data centers, government, medical centers and hospitals, military, financial institutions, hotels, casinos, and entertainment venues, just to name a few.
