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
1. Static UPS
a. On-Line UPS
b. Off-Line UPS
2. Rotary 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.
