This Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems training course will explore the various types of static and dynamic UPS’. Power outages are detrimental to the electrical network and installation systems. Thus, efficient uninterruptible power supply systems are needed to ensure their security, integrity and reliability. They are also used as power conditioners to enhance the power quality of the modern demanding electronic equipment and control centres.
Improvements in the main components of the uninterruptible power supply systems like the batteries, rectifiers, battery chargers and inverters, now incorporate new technologies and high end power electronics components. The uninterruptible power supply systems has become essential equipment in most electrical installations.
The superior dynamic uninterruptible power supply (DUPS) or diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply (DRUPS) systems are now making waves where reliable and clean AC supply which are critical and in high demand to power the data centres and critical equipment. The many salient merits of the DUPS/DRUPS are gaining popularity as it eliminates the use of batteries.
