Information Support Concepts, Inc. (ISC) Offers New Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Products
Consequences of Common Power Failures Avoided When Using UPS
The old saying says April showers bring May flowers. But those same showers also bring with them unpredictable weather that can lead to power failures. Unfortunately, we can not predict when lightning will strike, and it may well happen when we most need access to electrical devices like network servers, phone systems, workstations, storage devices and more.
(PRWEB) March 21, 2007 -- Information Support Concepts, Inc. (ISC) (http://www.iscdfw.com) offers Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) products to help you maintain power to your computer systems. A UPS is a device which maintains a continuous supply of electric power to connected equipment when normal power sources become unavailable. The UPS connects between the source of power and the load it is protecting. When an abnormality occurs, the UPS effectively switches from utility power to its own power source.
When choosing a UPS (http://www.iscdfw.com/onlinecatalog/powerstrips/ups/ups_main_menu.htm), one factor to consider is the amount of runtime the unit will provide when the power fails. Another consideration should be the anticipated usage of the UPS. If the UPS is intended to provide power for graceful shut down of the computers, serial or USB ports and support software are necessary. On the other hand if the UPS will provide power until a standby generator kicks in, the UPS input capabilities should be matched to the generator outputs.
The following are common problems that might lead to a power failure:
- Power failure - Total loss of utility power: causes electrical equipment to stop working.
- Voltage sag - Transient (short term) under-voltage: causes flickering of lights.
- Voltage spike - Transient (short term) over-voltage ie spike or peak: Causes wear or acute damage to electronic equipment.
- Under-voltage (brownout) - Low line voltages for an extended period of time: Cause overheating in motors.
- Over-voltage - Increased voltages for an extended period of time: Cause light bulbs to fail.
- Line noise - distortions superimposed on the power waveform: Causes electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Harmonic Distortion - multiples of power frequency superimposed on the power waveform: Causes excess heating in wiring and fuses.
- Frequency Variation - deviation from the nominal frequency (50 or 60 Hz): Causes motors to increase or decrease speed.
Available systems from ISC range from Stand-By systems to protect small to large PCs, Phone Key Systems and Workstations to True On-Line/Extended Runtime UPS (http://www.iscdfw.com/onlinecatalog/powerstrips/ups/cpe.htm) to protect workstations, PBX Systems, Network Servers, Computers, Internetworking, Telecom Equipment, and Phone Systems.
