The role of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and generators in the reliable and efficient operations of institutional and commercial facilities has expanded in recent years, according to an article from Facility Maintenance Decisions on the FacilitiesNet website.
In the world of critical facilities, UPS and generators serve as the first line of defense against downtime in an electrical system for facility loads.
These components must provide a robust level of protection to the electrical infrastructure in the event of voltage sags in the utility grid or of a power outage. These systems are essential for ensuring the safe, dependable operation of data centers and other server installations.
To achieve these goals, maintenance and engineering managers need to establish a comprehensive inspection, testing and maintenance program to address the needs of UPS and generators. Managers must equip technicians with the technology to carry out daily monitoring, and they need to keep an eye on the energy considerations related to these critical components.
