Online UPS have become the lifeline of all the electronic gadgets irrespective of the applications they are
catering to. With the revolution in science, technology and sophistication in the field of electronics, no
doubt the gadgets have added to our comfort and convenience but they have also become so sensitive to
quality power that a single cycle of the poor quality power could be disastrous to the life of the
equipment and can damage it beyond repair. Therefore, the quality power has become critical for the
proper functioning of the gadgets and to keep them working at least for their expected life tenure.

Electronics, computers and data are driving the World, no matter which sector you are. Wherever you
are, and whatsoever you are, you are always in touch with the electronics, computers and data in one
way or the other. And if you are associated with them, then you are linked with the UPS somewhere here
or there.
 So, what are these UPS about?
The UPS stands for the uninterrupted power supply and broadly provide continuous power supply to the connected
load or the gadgets to let them perform continuously without any malfunctioning or disturbance at their full efficiency.
These UPS are intended to replace the utility power immediately in case of power failure or any drop in the voltage
beyond the dangerous level to prevent the connected load from getting damaged. These UPS also provide the
protection from surges, spikes or other faults that occur at the bus feeding the load depending upon the type of the
UPS.
What are the Types of UPS?
There are two types of UPS –
1. Offline UPS
UPS are those UPS that provide power directly through the UPS and bypass the inverter to the output. When there is a
power failure the bypass switch connects the inverter to the output and the connected load is supplied via battery
through an inverter, which gets charged during the utility power supply and feed the load during a power failure or
power dropping beyond acceptable limits of the load
Operating time in the UPS is quick, but detection time is more, and it prevents UPS from working quick enough to let the
transfer take place undisturbed. Therefore, the load gets a momentary power off for a partial cycle making it unreliable
in comparison to the Online UPS.
 2. Online UPS
In online UPS, the batteries always remain in the system, and even the power transfer switch may be eliminated.
During a power failure, the rectifier gets out of the system, and the batteries keep on providing the steady power to
the load.

Power restoration the rectifier is again brought in the system to charge the batteries and supply the power to the
load. Online UPS provides complete isolation of incoming power and sensitive loads

Online UPS are of broadly two different types

1) On-Line, Line-Interactive UPS

2) On-Line, Double Conversion UPS Systems.

Where are On-Line UPS to be installed?

Online UPS are a must to be installed in all those systems wherever the following applications are required.
 1. Voltage regulation - The Online UPS system provides live voltage regulation to let the voltage keep on
continuously regulating for all variations in voltage to provide a constant voltage supply to the connected load
irrespective of the voltage supplied by the utility. In case the variation exceeds the acceptable voltage, then the
complete power is supplied by the UPS. Therefore, the Online UPS are required in those areas where a constant
voltage is required by the load and a slight variation beyond the limit could be disastrous for the connected load.
2. Surge Protection - Online UPS provides superior surge protection to the connected load and are used where ever
clear surge protection is the basic need of the connected load and any surge in the incoming supply could wreak
havoc and damage to the load beyond repair. As the Online UPS provides potent protection against these surges,
they are therefore installed in all such loads where surge protection is to be guarded effectively.
3. Noise Protection - The magnetic and the electrical fields in the system results in noise and harmonics in the
system and results in either permanent damage of the equipment or leads to malfunctioning of the equipment or
premature failure depending upon the intensity of the noise. The Online UPS provides substantial shielding against
these noises and harmonics and are therefore a must for the applications where the equipment is sensitive to these
noises.
4. A Pure Sine Wave is a must - Wherever the equipment needs a pure sin wave the Online UPS is a must as they
supply a pure sine wave power to the load irrespective of the type of power received at the input. They generate their
own AC output after converting the received power to DC and then again converting it to AC, so as to let the connected
load work at a pure sine wave, no matter whatever is the quality of the utility power. Therefore, Online UPS is a must
for all sensitive loads where the quality of the power is of dire importance and cannot be compromised.
5. Switchover time from utility power to UPS - The transfer time of power from the utility power to UPS matters
significantly depending upon the type of sensitivity of the connected load. The Online UPS switch over the power
within two to four milliseconds to let the sensitive loads keep working without any interruption or malfunctioning.
Thus, Online UPS are vital for all the sensitive loads; otherwise, the Offline UPS will result in a slight interruption in
the power transferred which is fatal for the sensitive loads connected. To keep them working a quick transfer is a
must and Online UPS can only provide it.

What are the applications of Online UPS?

Online UPS are mainly used in that field/sector, which requires an uninterruptible power supply. The uninterrupted
power system mainly performs two functions. i.e., filter disruption of the supply network &, in case of mains failure,
provides power to the loads. UPS are used to correct many power problems like;

• Voltage sag
