Backup power supplies
Buffer power supplies, also known as low-voltage UPS (DC-UPS), are devices that guarantee continuous power supply to devices in the event of a power grid failure. Their basic function is to maintain a constant DC voltage at the output, drawing power from a connected battery when the mains power is interrupted.
Applications of buffer power supplies:
-
Alarm and monitoring systems: Ensure uninterrupted operation of cameras, sirens and access control systems, even during power outages.
-
Medical devices: Guarantee the safe operation of respirators, infusion pumps and other critical medical equipment.
-
IT systems: Protect computers, servers and routers from data loss and operational disruptions.
-
Industrial automation: Provide stable power supply to PLCs, SCADA systems and other automation devices.
-
Homes and apartments: Protect home heating systems, CO circulation pumps and other devices from the effects of power outages.
Advantages of buffer power supplies:
-
Reliability: Guarantee continuous power supply even in the event of a power outage.
-
Device protection: Protect valuable devices from damage caused by voltage drops or outages.
-
Easy installation: They are usually easy to install and do not require complicated configuration.
-
Long runtime: Modern buffer power supplies can provide backup power for several hours.
-
Wide range of applications: Models are available in different powers and voltages, allowing the power supply to be matched to individual needs.
When choosing a buffer power supply, consider the following:
-
Power: The power of the power supply should be matched to the power of the devices to be supplied with backup power.
-
Voltage: The output voltage of the power supply must match the supply voltage of the devices.
-
Battery capacity: The backup runtime depends on the battery capacity.
-
Battery type: Power supplies are available that work with different types of batteries, such as gel, lead-acid and AGM.
-
Additional features: Some power supplies offer additional features such as solar panel charging or remote monitoring of operation.
