UPS systems ensure greater reliability in critical infrastructures
Discover the requirements and standards for power supplies and DC UPS systems in critical infrastructures in this comprehensive article.
Specific requirements for power supplies and UPS systems in critical infrastructures concern reliability, robustness, and security: UPS systems ensure an uninterrupted power supply during power outages and enable an orderly shutdown of systems during prolonged outages.
Uninterruptible power supply standards are established technical frameworks that define the minimum acceptable levels of safety, functionality, and efficiency for UPS systems. These standards are not arbitrary they are the result of decades of research, development, and practical field data gathered by industry experts, scientists, and engineers.
Seek out third-party certifications or independent lab testing reports, especially for enterprise or mission-critical applications. Reputable review organizations may also compare models side by side, highlighting which ones best adhere to current uninterruptible power supply standards.
Following is the Version 2.0 ENERGY STAR Product Specification for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs). A product shall meet all of the identified criteria if it is to earn the ENERGY STAR. Static UPS: UPS where solid-state power electronic components provide the output voltage.
