Introduction
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a battery-powered electronic device that continues to supply electricity to the load for a certain period of time during a utility failure or when the line voltage varies outside the normal limits. It is a typical application. Besides the backup, most UPS also provide surge protection. Modern UPS can either be of the static type or the rotary type.
This course on the importance of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is of great interest where electrical installations require a continuous power supply. Today’s reliance on power from the grid sometimes poses new issues like power quality and interruptions. This training course will address issues pertaining to power quality and mitigation techniques. A closer look at the uninterruptible power supply components and functionalities will be discussed. The battery system which forms an integral part of the uninterruptible power supply will be scrutinized in view of its construction, characteristics, merits, and demerits. The-state-of-the-art diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply will be deliberated in detail.
