Classification of UPS on Basis of Waveforms Produced

Let us discuss more about these different types of waveform produced by UPS models. The lower-end power equipments usually generate Square waves and, as per the basic truth, put more pressure on the attached electrical device. As compared to the sine wave of a similar total power output, the peak voltage of this type of output is low and these can also include hazardous high frequency harmonics that are not present in the true sine wave. The appliances that are connected to the square wave UPS systems may undergo functioning problems, also involving heat build-up, and probable premature failure. The only major advantage to the buyer of such systems will get considerable cost savings. But these tend to reduce the longevity of the equipments.

On the other hand are the high-end sine wave home UPS that produce true sine wave which is the perfect wave form for enhancing the performance of the electrical devices and the longevity of the devices and is basically the form that households receive from the utility power providers. Electrical energy efficiently varies between negative and positive, letting the appliance run without any unwarranted stress at a steady voltage with hardly any high frequency harmonics. The processes used for generating this wave from may be either AC-DC-AC conversion process or automatic voltage regulation process. Between these two systems, the UPS system supplied by the dependable home ups manufacturers is the one with the modified square wave or simulated sine wave that are comparatively cheaper than the true sine wave ones and provide quality power output. So those having an issue with the cost but can’t compromise on quality can go for the modified square wave UPS models.
