What’s a Heavy Duty UPS/Industrial UPS or High Capacity inverter? Why do people call them Heavy Duty or Industrial UPS? The UPS device converts AC to DC and DC to AC energy. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is a continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs from a traditional auxiliary/emergency power system or standby generator in that it will provide near-instantaneous protection from the input power.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply The power remains uninterrupted as the Mains Power is present or not present does not make any difference as the UPS keeps the computers or other IT equipment running uninterruptedly in case of power failures or during voltage variations as well.
Heavy duty, as the name suggests, is the Heavy Duty UPS/Industrial UPS, which can run higher loads and run big machines or a lot of computers simultaneously, along with other loads like printers, and fans Lights. Airconditioners, Microwave ovens, treadmill, Fridge TV etc without any break. So one can run the heavy equipment or put all the home or office load on this. These Heavy Duty UPS are different from High Capacity Inverters as Inverters have a switching time. Hence, the equipment and devices switch off when the power goes and then switch on after a second, but in the Heavy Duty UPS, there is no break whatsoever, and all the appliances and devices work uninterruptedly. These High capacity Inverters and heavy Duty UPS come in two categories Single Phase to Single Phase power (1P-1P) and three phases to three-phase power(3P-3P). You need 3 Phase Power called # Phase Heavy Duty UPS or 3 Phase high Capacity Inverter to run the higher capacity motors or lift motors. High-capacity inverters are power inverters; an inverter or inverter is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).[1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter.
High Capacity Inverters or heavy Duty UPS are installed in Hospitals, Schools, Shopping Malls, Multistoreyed buildings, Office complexes, Hotels, Colleges, Industries, Airports and Railway Stations etc.
The Parameters to choose before buying High Capacity Inverter or Heavy Duty UPS:
- The Pure Sinewave waveform and Power Quality
- The Isolation Transformer
- Switching time
- Input Voltage and Frequency variations limits
- Generator Compatability
- Overload and Short circuit
