Solutions for UPS-Systems Power components for high-quality systems /highpower Dependance on electricity Nowadays, we strongly depend on electricity to maintain the proper function of our soci- ety. Blackouts can cause serious consequences. In developing countries such as China and India, the grid is still very unstable. Several blackouts and disturbances during the day are not unusual. Even in highly developed countries such as Germany, there is an average of 100 mains failures per year lasting less than 20 ms and about 30 failures lasting bet- ween 20 ms and 1 s. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems support the user in achieving reliable power supply. They compensate, independently of the quality of mains supply, voltage fluctuations and short-term power failures. A continuously constant voltage to critical applications is therefor guaranteed. 2 Power availability and quality UPS systems ensure a controlled flow of energy to application. They protect critical operating equipment that is vulnerable to any loss of power. They guarantee the power supply to the devices in case the main power fails for a certain length of time, or if it is briefly interrupted. UPS systems at the same time protect sensitive equipment, provi- ding a filter function and shield it from voltage distortions and fluctuations in frequency or amplitude. UPS systems are in use in many areas, including ■ Telecommunications ■ Data centers ■
