Objective
Introduction about UPS
Able to select UPS
UPS
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
Protect sensitive loads against power
outages as well as overvoltage and
undervoltage conditions.
Should be able to deliver uninterrupted
power and necessary power requirement for
the particular power application.
Rating of UPS is expressed in Volt-
Amp(VA), KVA, MVA
Type of UPS

Design criteria and selection
Determine the need:
Purpose for UPS: Communication, computers,
Lighting, heating, fire protection, data
processing, production, refrigeration etc.
Based on requirement: Select type of UPS.
Determine availability: Should be available
in market.
Determine maintainability
Determine if affordable: Initial cost,
operating and maintenance cost
Technical Specification of UPS
Capacity – 6 KVA
Input voltage - 220+-20% V
Output voltage – 220 +- 3 %
Power factor - not less than 0.7
Battery voltage – 240 V
Battery charging current = 4 A
Overload capacity – 110% for 10s, 130 %
for 300ms
Technical Specification of UPS
Active power rating of UPS = P =
Rating of UPS in VA * Power factor
Output active power from UPS
P (real) = P *Efficiency of UPS
In above example
P (real) = 6 *0.95*0.7 KW = 3.99 KW
Capacity of battery for UPS
Capacity of battery depends upon the
required back up time for given load.
Also, capacity of battery for UPS depends
upon the charging current available from
UPS.
DC input battery voltage of UPS depends
upon the manufacturer of UPS.
Reliable Power
ensure
Reliable Communication.
Energy is life
and
life is information.
