Signs it’s time to replace your UPS batteries
Is your business protected? Ensuring that your business is protected from power outages is essential in today’s fast-paced environment. A reliable Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system, like those from Schneider Electric, is critical in maintaining continuous operations and safeguarding your data and equipment. Yet it’s easy to overlook the condition of the UPS batteries, which […]
From downtime to resilience: How modular UPS systems protect the edge
The rapid growth demonstrates just how critical these environments have become and why they need UPS solutions designed for resilience, flexibility, and availability without added complexity. Edge computing environments, whether remote or compact, increasingly support critical applications. Although they may be mostly unstaffed or have minimal IT support, these environments are high-stakes and have little […]
Europe’s evolving energy system: Why new electrical distribution matters
Europe’s energy system is changing faster than ever. Electricity is no longer produced in a few centralized locations and consumed downstream. It is becoming distributed, dynamic, and digital. This shift is redefining how power is distributed, and why New Electrical Distribution (NED) is now a strategic topic. When electricity changes, distribution must follow Distributed generation […]
Why is solar energy important?
Solar energy is all set to play a key role in how we power our homes. However, climatic changes due to global warming are fast becoming one of our greatest challenges. We are hoping for sustainable sources because non-renewable sources are responsible for several environmental risks. This led us either to further adoption of clean […]
FAQs for Using Lithium-ion Batteries with a UPS
Lithium-ion batteries offer several advantages over traditional lead acid batteries. Despite the benefits, the use of lithium-ion batteries in uninterruptable power supplies (UPSs or battery backups) is relatively new with valve-regulated lead acid batter
Battery Technology for Data Centers: VRLA vs. Li-ion
Lithium-ion battery prices have decreased over the years and are now becoming a viable option for data center UPS. This paper provides a brief overview of li-ion batteries in comparison to VRLA batteries for static UPS applications, including optimal chem
Comparing UPS System Design Configurations
There are five principle UPS system design configurations that distribute power from the utility source of a building to the critical loads of a data center. The selection of the appropriate configuration or combination thereof for a particular application
The Different Types of UPS Systems
There is much confusion in the marketplace about the different types of static uninterruptable power supplies (UPSs) and their characteristics. The IEC 62040-3 UPS performance standard classifies all UPSs based on their output characteristics. In this paper, we summarize the most relevant parts of the IEC standard, then describe 4 types of UPSs, provide practical […]
The Seven Types of Power Problems
Many of the mysteries of equipment failure, downtime, software and data corruption, are often the result of a problematic supply of power. There is also a common problem with describing power problems in a standard way. This white paper will describe the Seven Types of Power problems
