Typical Applications of Different Types of UPS Systems


In essence, UPS Systems can be categorized into three different types. These are the Standby systems, Line-Interactive systems and the Online systems. Let us discuss about them one by one. First is the Standby type that is the most basic type of the UPS models.  When there is a disruption in power, this UPS just makes use of the internal battery to supply power to the device. These are meant for the PCs, consumer electronics, POS/security systems, and other basic devices.
Secondly the Line-Interactive UPS models integrate technology that enables the model to fix the minor fluctuations in power such as over voltages, brownouts, etc. without resorting to the internal battery. These are designed for PCs, consumer electronics and mid-range servers.
The third ones are the Online systems that supply clean, stable and next to perfect 120V provide consistent, clean, and near perfect 120V power irrespective of whether there is power fluctuation or a total power failure. These systems work on isolated battery fed electricity 100% of the time and takes no time in switching to the battery. These models are ideal for the extremely sophisticated components, lab equipment, corporate servers, and other sensitive appliances.
It is no secret that the power grid supplies AC power that has a pure sine wave. Most of the digital CFL inverter manufacturers as well as the sine wave UPS manufacturers recognize that not all of the consumer electronic appliances need a pure sine wave signal to operate in a proper manner, so they offer a range of UPS models that generate a simulated sine wave. But if you want a UPS for the applications that demand pure sine wave, then you must go for the pure digital sinewave UPS systems.
