Online UPSs
These UPSs
provide the highest level of
power protection and are the ideal choice for shielding
your organization’s most important computing
installations. This technology uses the combination
of a double-conversion (AC to DC/DC to AC) power
circuit and an inverter, which continuously powers
the load, to provide both conditioned electrical power and outage
protection.
Online UPSs offer
complete protection and isolation from all types of
power problems — power surges, high-voltage
spikes, switching transients, power sags, electrical
line noise, frequency variation, brownouts and
blackouts. In addition, they provide digital-quality
power not possible with off-line systems. For these
reasons, they typically are used for mission-critical
applications that demand high productivity and systems
availability.
While the purchase price of an online UPS
may be slightly higher than those employing other
technologies, it’s important to recognize the overall
value of comprehensive power protection. Online
UPSs provide the same benefits as other leading UPS
technologies and they offer line conditioning and
surge protection, typically at a price lower than the
combined cost of a UPS, a line conditioner and a
surge protector.
