Storage Center Pre-Deployment Tech Note

Online UPS

Online UPS provides the best type of UPS/SBS protection available. It protects Storage Center from irregular voltage from an incoming utility, provides sufficient backup battery capabilities, and is enhanced with an electronic firewall between the incoming utility power and Storage Center.

technical support recommends using an online UPS for Storage Center protection for the following reasons:
  • Online UPS provides an electronic layer of protection from variations in power quality through the use of circuit tiers. The incoming AC utility voltage passes through a surge protection process where it is converted to DC and filtered by capacitors. This tier removes line noise, high voltage transients, harmonic distortion, and any other 50/60 Hertz (Hz) related issues.
  • Online UPS provides a voltage regulator stage where the DC is filtered through a second set of storage capacitors giving UPS the ability to sustain constant output during a low voltage condition or brown-out.
  • Online UPS passes the regulated DC voltage to an inverter stage where it creates true sine wave output power.
  • The Online UPS capacitors act as an energy storage reservoir allowing the UPS to work through momentary power interruptions.
  • The Online UPS battery performs a seamless transition by replacing the energy source during a power outage.
