UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Requirements

A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a device that sits between a power supply
(such as a wall outlet) and a device (such as a switch) to prevent outages, sags, surges,
and bad harmonics from adversely affecting the performance of the device.
A UPS traditionally can perform the following functions:
•
Absorb relatively small power surges.
•
Smooth out noisy power sources.
•
Continue to provide power to equipment during line sags.
•
Provide power for a period of time after a blackout has occurred.
In addition, some UPS devices or UPS-plus-software combinations provide the
following functions:
•
Automatically shut down equipment during long power outages.
•
Monitor and log power supply status.
•
Display the voltage (current draw) of the equipment.
•
Restart equipment after a long power outage.
•
Display the voltage currently on the line.
•
Provide alarms on certain error conditions.
•
Provide short-circuit protection.
Select a UPS
To determine UPS requirements for your switch, answer these questions:
•
What are the amperage requirements?
•
What is the longest potential time period that the UPS would be required to supply
backup power?
•
Where will the UPS be installed?
•
What is the maximum transition time that the installation will allow? (See
Suitable UPS Transition Time
Note
Use a UPS that provides online protection.
