All businesses suffer from numerous power issues like fluctuations in power supply affecting the smooth functioning of your equipment. Such problems can overheat the system. In places where the power supply is not regular, your equipment might get seriously damaged. In order to ensure that you don't suffer any of such issues, it is important for you to have protection of UPS and power solutions. Such a solution would also help you in dealing with 'brownouts' and 'spikes' by providing consistent supply to the operational equipment. Even if power supplies fail for a second, UPS would ensure that there is no general shutdown of the equipment as a result of power failure.
In conditions where the equipment cannot stand failure of power even for milliseconds, installing UPS & power solutions is the only way out. However, it is dependent on the load on the equipment. For example, if there is a power failure in a small office or a home, you can lose important data if you have no backup for such contingencies. To provide protection for such a setting, installing a line interactive UPS would be ideal. Under normal circumstances, UPS would be regulating the main incoming utility supply usually by a transformer tap changing circuit to safeguard against fluctuations.
In case the utility main supply detects a deviation outside the limit set in the UPS as normal, the UPS will make a switch over to its inverter and run on battery till the supply becomes normal or the battery is spent to its lowest operating limit passing a signal to the computer instructing it to perform a controlled shutdown to prevent loss of data. For protecting a data centre with multiple rows of servers, the ideal UPS and Power Solution would be to get a parallel 'double conversion' UPS power system. Using 'double conversion' UPS power system means that inverter is always on and one doesn't have to switch it on.
In certain cases, one can also use the UPS and power solutions for providing emergency supply for operating electrically operated doors in case of a mains failure. It would require just a power source with need for an uninterruptible power. UPS provides the best temporary power solution in case there is a mains failure. However, it is subject to the capacity of the battery and would be useful only for supporting equipments which can perform controlled shutdown when the capacity of battery fizzles out.
