Guardian of Power Outages: Uncovering The Importance of Uninterruptible Power Supply

In the digital age, electricity is as indispensable as air, and power outages can have disastrous consequences. As the "airbag" of the power system, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) silently protects our digital life.

1. What is UPS?

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS for short) is an electronic device that can provide continuous and stable power to connected devices when the mains power is abnormal or interrupted, ensuring that key equipment can still operate normally when the power fluctuates or interrupts.

2. Three main types of UPS

• Backup UPS: directly supplies power when normal, switches to battery mode when abnormal, suitable for personal computers and small office equipment

• Online interactive UPS: adjusts voltage in real time through automatic voltage regulator (AVR), commonly used in small and medium-sized network equipment

• Double conversion online UPS: continuously converts AC power to DC power and then inverts it to AC power, suitable for key areas such as data centers and medical equipment

3.Three core functions of UPS

• Continuous power supply: provides "uninterrupted relay" during power outages to ensure continuous operation of equipment

• Voltage stability: filters voltage fluctuations, like a "power stabilizer"

• Waveform purification: eliminates power harmonics and provides "pure" sine waves

4. Application scenarios of UPS

• Data center: prevent data loss and hardware damage

• Medical equipment: maintain the operation of life support systems

• Industrial production: avoid losses caused by sudden stops of production lines

• Home office: protect computer equipment and data security

5. How to choose a suitable UPS?

The following factors should be considered when choosing a UPS:

• Capacity: Calculate the total power consumption of the device and add 20-30% margin

• Battery life: Choose from 5 minutes to several hours according to needs

• Interface type: Pay attention to whether the number and type of sockets match

• Brand and after-sales: Choose the brand GIDEON to enjoy worry-free after-sales

6. UPS maintenance points

• Regularly check the battery status

• Maintain a suitable ambient temperature (preferably 20-25℃)

• Avoid overload operation

Today, with the growing demand for electricity, choosing a GIDEON UPS system is to buy a reliable "power insurance" for electronic equipment！！！
