Voltage Stabilisers in Data Centres: Protecting Critical IT Infrastructure and Minimising Downtime

Data centres are the backbone of modern technology, housing vast amounts of critical IT infrastructure that powers our digital world. With increasing reliance on data-driven applications and services, any disruption or downtime can have severe consequences. Voltage fluctuations pose a significant threat to the smooth operation of data centres, potentially leading to equipment failures, data corruption, and costly downtime. Voltage stabilisers play a crucial role in data centres by safeguarding the integrity of the power supply and protecting critical IT infrastructure. In this blog, we will explore the importance of voltage stabilisers in data centres and how they mitigate the risks associated with voltage fluctuations.

In today's rapidly changing business landscape, staying ahead of technological advancements is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring uninterrupted power protection. As businesses evolve and grow, their power requirements increase, making it essential to assess and upgrade Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units to align with evolving specifications. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of upgrading UPS units to avoid obsolescence and meet the ever-changing power protection needs of your business. 

When connecting batteries in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, you have the option to connect them in series or in parallel. The main difference between these two configurations lies in how they affect the voltage and current of the UPS system.

When selecting a battery for your UPS system, it is essential to understand the difference between the design life and service life of the battery. Design life refers to the expected lifespan of the battery when it is used under ideal conditions. Service life, on the other hand, refers to the actual lifespan of the battery when it is used under real-world conditions.

It is important to note that the service life of a battery can be extended by proper maintenance and care. Regular battery maintenance, such as cleaning and inspection, can help to identify and address issues that could shorten the battery's lifespan. In addition, proper charging and discharging practices can help to minimize the impact of factors such as overcharging and deep discharging, which can reduce the battery's service life.

We understand that your health and safety are of utmost importance to you. That's why we want to take this opportunity to emphasize the critical role that Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) systems play in maintaining a safe and healthy environment. 

If you're considering investing in a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system, it's important to consider the running costs that come with it. From the cost of the equipment to the cost of maintaining and operating it, there are many factors to consider. In this blog, we'll be discussing the running costs for a UPS system and what you can expect.

A smoke ventilation company contacted UPS Systems plc to provide a power protection solution for the life saving smoke ventilation system being installed in the apartment building near Hyde park. The smoke ventilation system requires a power protection solution to ensure that the system remains operational should the building experience a power outage during an emergency situation.

As the government plan to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, everyone is now questioning "should I buy an electric car?’’.

It is no shock to understand the prison needs constant power with the U.K's first electric prison under construction and a 'Disturbance' at immigration removal centre following a power outage... But it's more serious than you think.

Swindon powercut struck at 6pm on November the 15th. SSEN claimed 66 postcodes in SN1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 were affected by this powercut where street lights were out of action and houses and home offices were left with no power stopping remote workers from saving data and corrupting files.
