Technical FAQs 4

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

In modern power systems, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) plays a critical role in providing power backup to essential equipment. As the core component of a UPS system, the inverter determines the overall performance and reliability of the UPS.

Should I use an inverter or a ups?

Choosing between an inverter and a UPS depends on your specific power backup needs. If you require continuous power supply during outages and have relatively lower power requirements, an inverter can be a cost-effective solution.

What is a ups inverter?

The inverter in the UPS system is between the rectifier and static switch and is the core part of the UPS device. The main role of the inverter is to convert the rectifier or battery output DC power into 50Hz AC power, send it to the static switch, and finally supply it to the load equipment.

Can an inverter be used as a backup power supply?

Though the inverter can be also used as backup power supplies when combined with an energy storage system, it can not realize the seamless transition as a UPS does. While due to the more complicated circuit and considering the additional components and functions, a UPS is generally more expensive than an inverter.
