Did you know about the invention that changed people’s lives – the UPS?

History of the birth of the UPS – UPS

At the end of the 20th century, the reliability of electricity supply in industrialized countries reached a rate of about 99.9%. That is, the period of power failure in a year is only 8 hours, the most common form of power failure is just a few short minutes. Basically, this will not cause problems too serious for conventional lighting or electromechanical systems. In other words, with systems of this type, users only need to consider the criteria of voltage and frequency when evaluating power quality.

However, when technology developed rapidly and with the advent of the digital system, everything changed completely. Especially in the field of information technology, where devices are heavily integrated with digital technology, the current must have a significantly higher stability, if not absolutely safe. Power failure even for a few milliseconds can severely affect the whole system, such as losing information or disrupting data exchange between computers, causing the system to have to restart from scratch. And that is also one of the reasons to promote the introduction of UPS devices to ensure stable current flow.

“Silent Guardian” – UPS

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) was invented with the main function of providing backup power and protecting electrical equipment in the event of problems with input power such as voltage surge, voltage drop, short-circuit, fire, power failure, power outage… In short, UPS offers the ability to improve power quality and provide backup power. With a different capacity, the UPS will maintain the operation of the devices for a certain period of time so that users can backup data, turn off the device according to the correct process and through the process. That helps to preserve the life of the device.

Businesses, especially companies in the field of technology, have long considered the UPS as a mandatory investment to ensure the safety of their information technology systems (computers, servers, data storage devices, switching devices, etc.). And entering the 21st century, when smarthome technology (smart home) is growing strongly and widely applied, a sudden power failure can cause great risks to the safety of people and property. In the case of indoor assets (such as the operation of automatic doors or CCTV systems), UPS has now become a must-have device not only in business environments but also for consumers. more personal.

Pioneering brand in the UPS market

Leading in the field of UPS manufacturing, Eaton – a 100-year-old brand from the US – is always one of the most sought-after names by customers when they need to buy UPS equipment. From the fields of healthcare, defense to automation systems, information technology infrastructure… businesses as well as individual users appreciate Eaton’s UPS for its reputation, product quality, durable operation and top care and after-sales.

Eaton’s UPS product range is quite broad and therefore suitable for a wide range of application sizes. In addition, Eaton products often have a flexible structure that allows users to stand on the floor (Tower) or install in a rack (Rack-mount). One of the prime examples is the Eaton 9SX UPS model, which is specifically designed to protect output loads from all common power failures.

With the Eaton 9SX UPS product line, users have a wide choice in the power range from 700VA to 6000VA (630W to 5400W), suitable for both home and business models. Developed on the basis of Online Double Conversion technology, Eaton 9SX completely eliminates grid problems by continuously controlling and fine-tuning the quality of the input power before supplying. for the device to use at the output.

Online double conversion technology works on the following principle: the mains power does not directly go to the user equipment, but is first converted into DC to charge the battery and the inverter in the UPS. . The inverter will then continue to convert the received DC current into an output current with a suitable voltage and then supply it to the user device. So, no matter what happens to the power grid, users’ devices are always safe.

In addition, the Eaton 9SX UPS also allows extending the backup time through the addition of external battery modules, so this product is very suitable for devices such as computers, printers, switchboards or even even larger systems such as server systems, data centers. ABM technology – Eaton’s own proprietary technology – integrated on Eaton 9SX not only makes battery management more convenient for users, but also allows to extend battery life by up to 50% and thereby ensure battery life. Ensure maximum savings on replacement or purchase costs. All Eaton 9SX UPS models allow the addition of up to 4 hot-swappable external battery modules to increase UPS system backup time.

With the passage of time, more and more new technologies are developed in the field of power protection and redundancy, leading to the upgrade of UPSs and the Eaton 9SX UPS product line is a prime example. of applying the latest and most advanced technologies to actual products.
