Different Types of UPS Systems
All three basic uninterruptible power supply (UPS) technologies have their place in protecting today’s distributed IT infrastructure, especially on the network edge. Each technology has its advantages and each may be necessary for configuring cost-effective power protection, especially in complex systems.
The three major types of UPS system configurations are online double conversion, line-interactive and offline (also called standby and battery backup). These UPS systems are defined by how power moves through the unit.
Online Double Conversion
An online UPS delivers continuous, high-quality AC power to equipment with no break when transferring to the battery, protecting equipment from virtually all power disturbances due to blackouts, brownouts, sags, surges, or noise interference. A true online, double-conversion UPS provides 100% power conditioning, zero transfer time to the battery, no change in output voltage, and better transient suppression than line-interactive units.
Online double conversion is the most common UPS mode of operation used for protecting large data centers by providing the highest level of power quality to the load always. Online systems also provide frequency regulation, essential for use with backup generator systems to protect from variations common at generator start-up.
Line-Interactive
Line-interactive UPS technology provides power conditioning with a 4-6 millisecond break in power when transferring to battery back-up and protects against the most common power problems experienced in a network. Here the UPS also monitors the voltage level and balances under and overvoltages. This technology provides a good choice between reasonable protection and moderate operating costs.
Line-interactive UPS systems rely on the battery to condition power so this type tends to drain its battery more frequently than online UPS systems that condition power through the double-conversion process.
Offline
Offline UPS, also called standby UPS or battery backup is a cost-effective choice. Better offline UPS systems switch to battery fast enough to prevent power anomalies and ride out short outages. An offline UPS protects against most spikes but doesn’t maintain perfect power during minor sags and surges.
The key to offline UPS quality is the range of power the unit will accept before switching to battery backup. The wider the range, the less drain on the battery, and the more backup time available when the power shuts off. The more times the UPS switches to battery backup, the shorter the battery life. Offline UPS technology will protect from most power spikes by clamping down on excess voltage and help ride out more than 90% of all outages.
