The UPS Power Solution on its own is an ideal method of providing a temporary power solution in the event of a utility mains failure. Its limitation is governed by the battery autonomy and is suitable where the equipment it is supporting can be shutdown safely before the end of autonomy, or where the requirement is for a short-term supply to operate vital equipment under controlled conditions.

That depends on your need, however UPSs (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and generator sets (Diesel Generators) are frequently combined to supply continuous power to sensitive applications such as computers, telecommunication centres, industrial processes, hospitals, airports, etc.

The best description of a True On-Line UPS system would be a UPS system that did not require any switching action to take place to allow it to continue supplying the load during a utility mains failure.

Depending on how much time you need to either shut something down or transfer over to a generator, it can range between 5-30 minutes. If you do not have a generator, a Central Power representative can size your system accordingly.

The average life span of a UPS battery can range between 4-7 years. There are many factors that can effect this time range such as size, usage and temperature.
