General Specifications




   Technology Type:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   On-line (Double-conversion)
 
     The load is supplied from a power converter that always operates and takes its input from a DC supply, which consists of a battery, and a large battery charger, which are connected in parallel.  On-line UPSs provide the highest quality of power protection by using a double-conversion technique. The UPS takes the incoming A/C power and recreates it by converting the voltage to D/C, then conditioning the power to eliminate noise, sags, or surges, and, finally, converting it back to A/C before it exits the UPS. Since the power runs continuously through the inverter, there is no transfer or switching time to battery mode in the event of a blackout.
 
   Line-interactive
 
     The inverter works in parallel with conditioned input AC power to supply power to the load (boosting or bucking), and only handles the full load power when the AC input power fails.  Line-interactive UPSs provide protection from spikes and surges, as well as supplying auxiliary power if voltage sag or a blackout occurs. Unlike the standby units, line-interactive UPSs provide automatic voltage boost (or buck) when the power dips, without accessing the batteries. This feature provides continuous line conditioning, promotes longer battery life, and eliminates electronic "noise" that can cause minor application errors and loss of data.
 
   Off-line (Standby)
 
     Power is usually derived directly from the power line, until power fails. After power failure, a battery-powered inverter turns on to continue supplying power.  With this type of power supply, power comes directly from the A/C outlet until the voltage sags or the power fails. After the power sags or fails, a battery-powered inverter almost immediately turns on to continue to supply you with power. Batteries are charged, as necessary, when direct A/C power is available. Even while power is coming directly from the A/C outlet, the UPS provides protection from voltage spikes and surges.
 
   Other
 
     There exist other UPS types for three phase power; however they are uncommon and include ferroresonant or rotary types using motor-generators.

   Interface Options      Many UPS units allow for the status of the UPS to be monitored from a PC or other remote location. In addition to monitoring, UPS units can also permit the initiation of test cycles and configuration changes of the unit via varying interface options.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Serial
 
     A port, or interface, that can be used for serial communication, in which only 1 bit is transmitted at a time (RS232, RS422, RS485).
 
   Parallel
 
     Outputs a parallel digital signal (e.g. PC parallel printer port).
 
   Modem
 
     Modulator-demodulator. A modem is a device or program that enables a computer to transmit data over telephone lines. Computer information is stored digitally, whereas information transmitted over telephone lines is transmitted in the form of analog waves. A modem converts between these two forms.
 
   Ethernet
 
     A local-area network (LAN) protocol developed by Xerox Corporation in cooperation with DEC and Intel in 1976. Ethernet uses a bus or star topology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. The Ethernet specification served as the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. Ethernet uses the CSMA/CD access method to handle simultaneous demands. It is one of the most widely implemented LAN standards.
 
   Wireless
 
     A wireless interface such as RF or IR.
 
   PC Card Interface (PCMCIA)
 
     PC Cards are credit card-size peripherals that add memory, storage, and I/O interface to computers in a rugged, compact form factor.  PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) is the name of an organization that has developed standards for PC Card technology along with Miniature Card and SmartMedia cards.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary configuration.

Performance




   Volt-Amp Rating:
 
     UPSs are rated in volt-amperes (VA) or kilo-VA (kVA). The VA rating is the maximum number of Volts * Amps a unit can deliver. The VA rating is not the same as the power drain (in Watts) of the equipment. The easiest way to find out how many VA is needed is to look at the back of the equipment that is to be protected and note the total number of amps listed for each device. Take the total and multiply it by the nominal voltage (120V) to get the number of VA. For example, a computer and monitor which are both rated at two (2) amps would require 480VA (2A+2A=4A 4Ax120V=480VA). With this rating, at least a 500VA UPS is recommended.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Watt Rating:
 
     Specify the Watt Rating only if VA Rating is not known (the Watt Rating is less than or equal to VA Rating).
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Runtime at Half Load:
 
     Runtime at half load: The length of time the UPS will operate during a blackout at half load (VA).
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Runtime at Full Load:
 
     The length of time the UPS will operate during a blackout at full load (VA).
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Maximum Input Current:
 
     The maximum amount of input current the device is designed to handle over extended periods of time.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Full Load Output Current:
 
     The amount of current output by the unit under a full load during a blackout.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
Voltage Specifications
Precise identification of the electrical system is critical in the proper selection and application of a UPS device. Phase refers to difference between two or more alternating current waveforms. There are 360 degrees in a complete cycle (as a generator completes one rotation). 3-phase systems produce three sets of sine waves that are 120 degrees apart or "out of phase" from each other (3 x 120 = 360). That is phases a-b, b-c, and a-c are 120 degrees apart from each other. However, when you use only two of the legs of a 3-phase system, it is single phase since there is no other phase that it is "out of phase" with. The term two-phase is a misnomer, although many electricians use it. There is only ONE sine wave hence it is single-phase. The voltage options listed are the most common electrical systems utilized. Where single values are given, this is the L-N value. Where multiple values are given (i.e. X/Y), the first listing is the L-N value, and the second listing is the L-L value.
