Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems

Introduction
Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems training seminar will explore the various types of static and dynamic UPS’. Power outages are detrimental to the electrical network and installation systems. Thus, efficient uninterruptible power supply systems are needed to ensure their security, integrity and reliability. They are also used as power conditioners to enhance the power quality of the modern demanding electronic equipment and control centers.
Improvements in the main components of the uninterruptible power supply systems like the batteries, rectifiers, battery chargers and inverters, now incorporate new technologies and high-end power electronics components. The uninterruptible power supply systems have become essential equipment in most electrical installations.
