Dan Carnovale, Director of Eaton’s Power System Experience Centers (PSEC), is back to discuss uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and how they work. As the electrification of devices and systems increases, so does our dependency on reliable, clean power. D...
What Is a UPS? A UPS, or an uninterruptible power supply system, is an electrical device designed to provide emergency power to a load when the input power source fails. Not to be confused with an auxiliary or emergency power system, a UPS provides near instantaneous protection from input po...
A semiconductor is a material that falls somewhere on the continuum between conductor and insulator, enabling a controlled flow of electrical current. Manufacturers process semiconductor materials such as silicon and other materials into chips for electronic devices. ...
Work Order Process: Stages of a Work Order There are six steps in the process of creating and approving a work order: 1. Identify the task The work order process begins when there is a task that needs to be completed. This is often triggered by unforeseen problems like a new service req...
When a technician must work on the system, the bypass is operated manually to render the internal components safe. If utility power fails while the UPS is in bypass, power to the ITE is interrupted. Any installation with only one UPS has this vulnerability. Figure 3 below shows the UPS in...

The battery is then connected to an inverter, which converts the DC into AC energy. Finally, a controller helps manage how the system functions. How Does UPS Work? A UPS can provide a seamless and uninterrupted supply when it has energy storage since electrical service will not be available...
How long a UPS can run your devices during a power outage is determined by: Battery storage capacity(in amp-hours or watt-hours/kilowatt-hours) Electrical load (how much electricity in watts do the connected devices consume) Standby or Off-Line UPS ...
A UPS protects equipment from damage in the event of a power failure. It is used in any situation where electrical equipment is sensitive to power loss or issues with power quality, for example, if a system experiences unsafe changes in voltage output. UPSes are typically used in settings pe...
