Following is the Version 2.0 ENERGY STAR Product Specification for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs). A product shall meet all of the identified criteria if it is to earn the ENERGY STAR. Static UPS: UPS where solid-state power electronic components provide the output voltage.
Uninterruptible power supplies or UPSs are battery chargers consisting of a combination of convertors, switches and energy storage devices (such as batteries), constituting a power system for maintaining continuity of load power in case of input power failure. 10 CFR 430 Appendix Y 2.27.
Modern uninterruptible power supply standards now place a heavy emphasis on energy efficiency, not just safety and reliability. This aligns with global sustainability goals and can lead to substantial cost savings over time.
Multiple global and regional organizations are responsible for developing and enforcing uninterruptible power supply standards. Each body brings a unique focus, often catering to specific industries or geographies.
In this post, I want to explore uninterruptible power supply standards from the ground up: what they are, why they matter, and how they act as the backbone of reliable, safe, and efficient
These clarifications have been carried over from a Version 1.0 guidance document and cover issues such as UPSs that operate with both 3-phase and single-phase power, UPSs
When power is restored at the normal supply terminals of the system, controls automatically synchronize the inverter with the external source before transferring the load. The rectifier
