When the main power supply part fails, a UPS system uses the energy contained in a group of batteries to power another part of the inverter. The inverter transforms DC (direct current) power from the battery system into a digitally created AC (alternating current) pulse. Protection against grid power problems, including blackout situations, can also be obtained with backup power systems. Less UPS battery needs to be used to service the connected loads the wider the voltage level window for the UPS system.
A UPS is just a group of cells that connect to the electrical system. You can connect your servers to them, along with your computers, and in the event of a hit-and-run. You need to make sure you get the best server room UPS that will give you enough time to shut down safely because most UPSs can last anywhere from minutes to hours depending on the size of the batteries.
- A UPS system can be online, online interactive, or offline/standby. The highest level of power security is provided by an online uninterruptible power supply. The load is continuously powered by the inverter, which is powered by the battery bank or a rectified mains power supply. An automatic bypass created is also a feature of an online UPS system. Bypass automatically switches the associated load to the utility in the event the UPS is overloaded or experiences an internal problem (if any). There is no interruption in power supply to the connected loads. This makes the power source unbreakable. Online UPS comes in the form of a monoblock and modular UPS. Both are scalable and work well in redundant/parallel N+X configurations.
- In addition to providing support for your servers in an emergency, the UPS also provides a seamless connection between the server and the power grid. In turn, eliminating power spikes can extend the life of your servers. These spikes and dips in power are called “spikes” and “sags,” respectively. Both are particularly damaging to your servers, causing their components to deteriorate more quickly than they would with constant input. Just like running, lots of ups and downs will tire you out more quickly, but a smooth, flat route makes it more likely that you’ll maintain a higher pace for a longer period of time.

Power is fed to this form of UPS and a portion of it is kept recharging the battery. The UPS would use this standby power to run the servers in the event of a power outage. These UPS options are usually the least expensive.
These work similar to offline UPSs, but also have an additional part called an autotransformer. Without using stored battery power, this is used to balance spikes and blackouts. If you experience frequent power grid spikes and blackouts, we recommend using these as they are reasonably cost effective.
Through applications embedded in your server, the UPS and the server communicate with each other. Typically this is sent directly to the server via a serial or USB connection. Some high-end UPS units come equipped with a network card so that they can connect to the network and use local area networks to interact with the server.
