UPS Technologies

When choosing a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to protect your electronic equipment there are 3 main UPS technologies on the market today.  The standby UPS is a low cost option that will protect you from power failure, sags and surges, while an online UPS offers total power protection from all 9 power problems. 

Standby UPS

• Low price protection from power failure, sags and surges
• UPS will switch to battery if a failure, surge or sag is detected
• Results in frequent battery use, which reduces runtime and service life

Line Interactive UPS

• Regulates voltage by boosting/decreasing utility power before passing it through to your electronics
• Transfer to battery within 3-8 ms
• In addition to failure, sags and surges will also protect against brownouts and noise
• Battery use less than standby but greater than online

Online UPS

• Highest level of protection: ensures delivery of clean and stable power to critical loads by converting and conditioning utility power first to DC and then back to AC
• Protects from all 9 power quality problems
• 0 transfer time
• Isolates equipment from harmonic distortions and is strongly recommended for critical applications
• Uses the battery less often than standby and line-interactive, increasing battery life
