Support Your UPS and Standby Generators

As well as the backup generator being matched to the UPS it must also be sized correctly with relation to the load the UPS is capable of taking on. The generator must be able to fulfill all of the duties that the UPS system fulfills as well as extra loads. For example there is little point in ensuring that all of the computer systems in a building work if the air conditioning which maintains an optimum temperature for them to work at is not functioning.


Furthermore, during the planning of a generators installation there are physical and environmental factors to take into consideration. Once the matching process is complete a suitable location for the generator should be identified. Often generators are placed outside in weatherproof enclosures. This is so that enough air can circulate around the generator cooling it whilst it works. The last thing any organisation wants is for their backup generator to overheat and breakdown. As well as cooling considerations the generator needs to be placed away from other utilities that it can interfere with, such as the water supply. This is important so that there is no risk of oil leaking and contaminated water supplies.

Having a backup generator to support a UPS system is important for most businesses and is a good way to ensure your organisation can still function without mains power. No business wants to be in a situation where they cannot function for any period of time and so having a generator as a backup for a UPS system is the best way to secure your business operation. As long as all of the appropriate precautions are taken, such as matching the UPS system and generator correctly and positioning the generator in the optimum position, business owners can be assured that there uninterrupted power supply is protected.
