4 Type of UPS Profit and Lost

4 Type of UPS Profit and Lost

You may already know Uninteruptible Power Supply (UPS) hardware. However, people often recognize only two types of UPS that is most easily found in the market. 

Both types are the type of UPS and standby UPS type online. In fact, UPS has several other advantages and kekurangannya with each. 

American Power Conversion (APC), a global leader in critical power services and cooling services are also popular with UPSnya products, provide information and tips about multiformity UPS so users can better identify and select the UPS in accordance with their needs. 

From model design, as quoted from the release of detikINET received, on Tuesday (16/12/2008), UPS is divided in several types of produce different performance characteristics: 
Standby 
Line Interactive 
Double Conversion On-Line 
Delta Conversion On-Line 

Standby UPS type 

This type usually used by the home user to disandingkan with their PC. UPS equipment is able to perform like this against interference filtrasi power and flow management, in addition to the efficient design, small size and cheap. 

Line Interactive UPS type 

UPS is the type most often used on small business units, web developers, and a number of servers that are in the government department. For, in addition to having a high level of reliability, this type also has the ability to adjust the voltage is quite good. 

UPS has an inverter, which is always connected to the output of the UPS system to change the power from the Battery to the AC. In normal circumstances, will make the inverter Battery. Meanwhile, in the electricity off, Transfer Switch will close and drain power from the Battery to the UPS output. 

Position the inverter is always connected to the output filter to provide additional resources. This makes this type of UPS with lots of servers used for electricity and conditions that are not too good. 

UPS type Double Conversion On-Line 

This type is the most common for UPS power with more than 10kVA. This type has similarities with the type Standby. Just type a main source of energy that lies in the inverter, not the AC power source. 

On this type, the main electricity supply dissolution will not trigger the switch because of the transfer of AC electric current at the entrance to the input of the Battery which provides power to the inverter is located at the output. 

Therefore, when the flow of AC power is lost, the flow of energy will be transferred immediately without taking a rest when the diversion occurs. UPS is the type of performance above average. This type can be said to a picture of an ideal UPS, unfortunately, this type of heat is high enough. 

UPS type Delta Conversion On-Line 

Almost the same as the Double Conversion type, the type Delta is always to use the inverter supply voltage. When power supply is lost, this type do the same type with Double Conversion. 

Delta Conversion has two functions, the first is to control the characteristics of the input power. Meanwhile, the second function is to control the flow of direct input to the process of the system Battery. 

Things to remember this is the type of energy that minimize terbuang. In addition, it has a high compatibility of the various types of generators and reduce the need for the use of cables. 

In summary, advantages and disadvantages UPS types can be seen below: 

Standby 
The advantages: low cost, high efficiency, compact design. 
Disadvantages: battery still in use when the power off; not suitable for use on the 2kVA. 
Description: most suitable for personal users. 

Line Interactive 
The advantages: high reliability, high efficiency, good voltage adjustments. 
Disadvantages: not suitable for use on the 5kVA. 
Description: UPS is the type most often used in conditions that are not stabilized electricity. 

Double Conversion On-Line 
The advantage: the voltage adjustment is very good, easy to connect in parallel. 
Disadvantages: Low efficiency; expensive price for the type of power under 5kVA. 
Description: close to the ideal image of UPS, but the heat is high enough. 

Delta Conversion On-line 
The advantage: the voltage adjustment is very good; high efficiency. 
Disadvantages: not suitable for use under 5kVA. 

Description: high efficiency, extend the life cycle when the device is used on a large system.
