The corporate world largely depends upon the continuous supply of electricity for its work
. Without the power for even few minutes it has to bear a huge loss. Hence power protection is needed, this power protection is done by using a device called Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This UPS is connected to the appliances and it provides electricity during the time of power cuts and surges.
Power Protection- The Principle
The UPS, as already mentioned earlier, is a device used for production of current during the cuts and surges. The device has batteries attached to it, which help to produce the electricity during the cuts and surges. The device can either be attached directly to the mains line or else parallel to the mains line. After this device detects the cuts and surges it begins producing the current supply.
Power Protection- The Types of Devices
There are two main types of devices under the category of the power protection. They are categorized based on the types of connectivity of the devices done to the appliances. The device which is directly connected to the mains line of the appliances is called online UPS. This UPS is frequently used at the offices and other work places. The specialty of this device is that it is always in the ON mode. The battery keeps getting charged while there is electric supply and during the cuts and surges the battery starts getting discharged and produces electricity in return. As a result of this process there is no cut and the office appliances keep running non stop and there is no loss of data.
The offline UPS has a different story behind it. The offline UPS is connected to the parallel lines of the appliances. As a result there is a gap between the cuts and the production of the electricity by the batteries. Due to this the appliances attached to the UPS turn off and you need to manually start the appliances, or else those appliances that are in auto start mode get started all by themselves. This momentary stop at work may lead to incurring of heavy losses at the work place, hence the offline UPS is best for home use.
You can now buy both the types of UPS(s) online at heavily discounted prices. These UPS(s) dealers will come at your door steps and install them for you.
