Regular, ongoing UPS servicing and preventive maintenance of UPS systems will ensure your uninterruptible power supply and standby power system runs at optimum efficiency. A UPS power supply is a...
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed many challenges for the facilities management sector. Not only have managers been required to continuously adapt their working practices, but the past year has also...
UPS systems, whether they are desktop units for single workstations, or installations for large data centres, need communications capability. This is primarily to raise alarms during mains power failures, and...
Welcome to the third article on preventative maintenance and the benefits it can bring to your critical power protection devices; uninterruptible power supplies, emergency lighting and UPS battery solutions. Kohler...
In this article Alex Emms, Operations Director at Kohler Uninterruptible Power, explains why full automation isn’t always the best answer for remote UPS management. A data centre and the ICT...
The 5G standard is truly a game-changer; its speed, latency and connection densities are such significant improvements over 4G that entirely new applications that simply weren’t previously viable now become...
Some UPSs need just simple communications capability, to warn their critical load of an impending failure. Larger, more complex or widely-distributed systems benefit in many ways from more sophisticated, network-based...
Communications capability is vital to the effectiveness and wellbeing of a UPS: While crucially facilitating orderly system shutdowns during extended power failures, it also allows continuous monitoring and pre-emptive maintenance...
We’re all aware of our dependence on technology, as exemplified by smartphones, automated booking systems, satnav and much else besides. However, the depth of this dependence and the scale in...
UPS monitoring is very important indeed. In fact, under some circumstances, a UPS without monitoring or communications capability would be pointless. Suppose, for example, mains power to the UPS failed,...
Data centre and ICT system operators invest in UPS power protection equipment to avoid the serious financial and reputational consequences of a power anomaly or outage. However, for this strategy...
Electronic equipment used for data processing, communications and industrial control must be protected from electrical disturbances as well as complete power failures. Good-quality uninterruptible power supplies provide both forms of...
