A UPS, or Uninterruptible Power Supply, is an electrical device that provides a consistent and reliable power supply to connected equipment, even in the event of a power failure or fluctuation. It serves as a backup power source, allowing equipment to continue running during a temporary power outage or a power failure.
UPS systems work by constantly monitoring the power supply and switching to a backup power source, such as batteries, in the event of an interruption or fluctuation in the main power supply. This ensures that the equipment connected to the UPS system continues to receive a steady power supply, even during a power outage.
There are different types of UPS systems, each with their own set of features, capabilities and benefits. The most common types of UPS systems are:
- Standby UPS (SPS): These are the most basic type of UPS systems and are designed to provide power protection for home and small office use. They switch to battery power when the main power supply is lost and have a relatively short switching time, usually around 4-8ms.
- Line-Interactive UPS (LIUPS): These are the most common type of UPS systems and are designed to provide power protection for small to medium-sized businesses. They use an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) to maintain a stable output voltage, which means they can handle small voltage fluctuations without switching to battery power.
- Online UPS (OLUPS): These are the most advanced type of UPS systems and are designed to provide power protection for large businesses and data centers. They are always connected to the battery power source and use it to provide a constant, stable power output. They also have the longest switching time, usually around 2-4ms.

In addition to the types of UPS systems mentioned earlier, there are also more technical details that are worth mentioning when discussing UPS systems:
- Power Rating: UPS systems come in a variety of power ratings, measured in VA (Volt-Amps) or kVA (kilo-Volt-Amps). The power rating determines the maximum amount of power that the UPS system can provide to connected equipment.
- Battery Backup Time: UPS systems also come in different battery backup times, measured in minutes. This is the amount of time that the UPS system can provide power to connected equipment in the event of a power failure.
- Battery Management: UPS systems come equipped with advanced battery management features that can help extend the life of the batteries. This includes features such as battery testing, temperature compensation, and battery replacement notifications.
- Power Management Software: Many UPS systems come with power management software that can be used to monitor and manage the UPS system remotely. This software can provide real-time information on the status of the UPS system and can also provide early warning of potential issues.
- Power Conditioning: Some UPS systems come equipped with power conditioning features, such as surge protection and voltage regulation, that can help improve the quality of the power supply.
- Connectivity: UPS systems come with various connectivity options, such as USB, serial, and Ethernet ports. This allows for easy integration with other equipment and systems.
- Scalability: UPS systems can be scaled up or down to meet the changing needs of a business. This allows businesses to add more power protection as their needs grow.
Overall, Getx’s UPS systems are designed to provide a consistent and reliable power supply, even in the event of grid failure, ensuring that your operations are never disrupted. They are tailored to meet the unique needs of each industry, with advanced battery management, power management software, and remote monitoring capabilities, which makes them an ideal solution for a wide range of businesses, organizations, and institutions.
