    - UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply and is used to provide temporary power to electronic devices when main power fails. - The main role of a UPS is to supply power for a short time when there is a failure in the main power source. It can also correct some general power problems related to utility services. - There are two main types of UPS systems: online UPS provides constant regulated power to connected devices by continuously converting incoming power to output power, while offline UPS only provides power when main power fails by drawing from its battery.

    UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

    Uninterruptible Power Supply


    • UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply. UPS is used with the electronic
    devices which are required to keep on for sometime when the main power
    supply is suddenly off. UPSs are mostly used with computers.
    Major Roles of a UPS
    • When there is any failure in main power source, the UPS will supply the
    power for a short time. This is the prime role of UPS. In addition to that, it can
    also able to correct some general power problems related to utility services in
    varying degrees.
    Types Of UPS
    Generally, the UPS system is categorized into On-line UPS, Off- line UPS

    Off-line UPS
    • This UPS is also called as Standby UPS system which can give only the
    most basic features. Here, the primary source is the filtered AC mains.
    • When the power breakage occurs, the transfer switch will select the
    backup source. Thus we can clearly see that the stand by system will
    start working only when there is any failure in mains.
    • In this system, the AC voltage is first rectified and stored in the storage
    battery connected to the rectifier.
    • When power breakage occurs, this DC voltage is converted to AC voltage
    by means of a power inverter, and is transferred to the load connected to
    it.
    Mode I: When ac mains is on
    When the ac supply provided to the circuit is active then the load drives the current from
    the mains. The ac signal first passes through the surge suppressor and then through the
    filter in order to reach the load. The surge suppressor here is used to protect the load
    (electrical and electronic equipment) from voltage spikes (known as transients) of the
    applied ac signal. Thus, is present right within the line that connects the supply to the
    load.
    The output of the surge suppressor is given to the filter circuit that only passes the
    desired frequency component through it and blocks the unwanted. The filtered ac signal
    is then provided to the load via a normally on static switch present between the filter
    and the load.
    However, at the same time, the ac input signal from the supply mains is fed to the
    rectifier circuit which converts the applied ac signal into rectified dc output. Here the
    rectifier acts as a battery charger because the dc output of the rectifier is used to charge
    the battery. Thus, charging of the battery and driving the load occurs simultaneously by
    the applied ac signal. This happens till the time the supply mains is present.
    Mode II: When ac mains is off

    During the ongoing process of driving the load and battery charging if a power failure
    occurs then the normally on static switch between the load and the filter will immediately
    gets turned off. Once it gets off, the inverter comes into action. Now, the inverter
    which was off previously, will take the dc signal from the battery backup and
    convert it into ac signal. By the time, the static switch that was previously off will
    now gets on and passes the ac output of the inverter towards the load. Thus, even
    after supply failure, the load will get the power to continue the operation.
    It is to be noted here that around 5 milliseconds of time is required for switching of
    the static switch in case of off-line ups which was zero for on-line ups.
    On-line UPS
    • Here, first the AC input is converted into DC by rectifying process for storing
    it in the rechargeable battery.
    • This DC is converted into AC by the process of inversion and given to the
    load or equipment which it is connected This type of UPS is used where
    electrical isolation is mandatory.
    • This system is a bit more costly due to the design of constantly running
    converters and cooling systems.
