6 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Several different kinds of sensitive electrical equipment stay protected by a UPS
(Uninterruptible Power System) including computers, workstations, process control
systems, telecommunications systems, sales terminals, other critical instrumentation, etc.
The purpose of the UPS is to protect these systems from poor quality utility power,
complete loss of power, or other associated problems.
Electrical interference abounds in many forms causing problems in AC power, from
lightning, power company accidents and radio transmissions to motors, air conditioners,
and vending machines, among others. So protection of sensitive electrical equipment is
vital to protect against power outages, low or high voltage, slow voltage fluctuations,
frequency variations, differential and common-mode noises, transients, etc.
In order to prevent power line problems reaching critical systems causing damage to
software, hardware and causing equipment to malfunction, the UPS helps by maintaining
constant voltage, isolating critical load output if needed, and cleaning the utility AC power.
