Top 10 online UPS Systems
By Partho, Gaea News NetworkSunday, May 16, 2010
Online UPS are designed for environments where electrical isolation is essential. These UPS can also be used to run equipments at various potential power problems such as spikes, surges and extended, overvoltage, noise are sensitive to power fluctuations. These type of UPS are also known as double-conversion or double-conversion online UPS, due to the fact that under normal operations the online UPS is always running off the battery, using its inverter, while the line power runs the battery charger. Online UPS is preferred over other alternative backups, as it provides overall better power protection to your computers and peripherals. The online UPS with pure sinewave offers low total harmonic distortion, minimal electrical noise, optimal line clarity. Earlier these UPS were reserved for very large installations of 10 kW or more. However, with advances in technology the online UPS are now available as common consumer devices. The online UPS are extensively used in Office telecommunications systems, LAN and WAN servers, Clustered network equipment: hubs, routers, bridges, Remote telecommunications units, Test and diagnostic equipment, Engineering network servers.
