Keep the Light On: Power Protection Systems

By Darrell F -- The most effective for systems that are critically sensitive to power fluctuations or outages is the double conversion online UPS. These expensive but effective devices are used extensively in industry and computer server environments. One major difference is that in the online system, the batteries are never disengaged from the flow but are continually used and recharged during normal usage. Thus when a spike or fluctuation occurs, there are no relays that have to be... more


Power Quality, Problems & Solutions

By Alison Campbell -- Brownouts are less common now but may become more frequent as demand for electricity continues to increase. They are classified as long-term reductions in mains power supply that can typically last for several days and compromise the effectiveness of other equipment, such as lighting. Spikes and Transients are fast-moving, high-energy bursts (some in excess of 6kVA) lasting only a few milliseconds, superimposed onto a normal mains power supply. Their intensity can cause damage to circuit... more


Power Inverters

By David -- Power inverters are designed to convert direct current to alternating current. Most of the power inverters work by converting 12 Volt DC power into 110 volts AC. With the use of power Inverters you can run household appliances from a car or any other DC source in areas where there is no electricity. Power inverters are available in two categories - The True Sine Wave Power Inverters and the Modified Sine Wave Power inverters. Of... more
