UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Full line of Uninterruptible Power Supplies Available
A UPS
contains batteries that provide backup power to your system in the event of a
power outage to give you the time to safely save all open files and gracefully
shutdown the system or even continue to work until normal power has been
restored. Additionally, most UPSs regulate the power that comes from the
original supply (i.e. the wall outlet). These functions offer several advantages
Business operations don't stop because the power
fails.
Equipment isn't damaged due to the stress of another hard start-up cycle.
Valuable data isn't lost due to a user forgetting
to save the file or if data had not been flushed from cache.
The UPS eliminates sags, surges, spikes, noise,
and other electrical interference that can damage equipment and data or
interrupt operations.
The UPS provides a "clean" source of
power, eliminating noise that can cause interruptions in operations or data
loss.
What size UPS do I need?
The UPS you need depends on the load, or amount of A/C, your system is pulling
and the equipment the UPS will support. You can determine what you need by
following these steps:
· Determine all
the hardware items that will be connected to the UPS.
· Determine the
amp rating for each hardware item and add the ratings together. You can find the
amp ratings on the back of the equipment.
· Multiply that
total by 120 Volts (for domestic applications) or 220 Volts (for international
applications) to get the Volt Amp (VA) rating .
·
Request a UPS that EXCEEDS your VA total.
