Common Reasons for UPS Issues & Problems 1️⃣ Batteries As the heart of any #UPSsystem, batteries require regular checkups to ensure they remain fit to safeguard critical systems. Regardless of their age, batteries should be inspected semi-annually as part of a PM visit that includes testing for impedance or conductance, as well as assessing performance and evaluating any potential weaknesses. 2️⃣ Capacitors A fairly simple device that stores and releases electrical energy, capacitors range in size and type and must generally be replaced every five to seven years. A typical UPS contains 12 capacitors, but some systems may have more. These #UPS capacitors are responsible for smoothing and filtering fluctuations in the voltage. However, capacitors can degrade over time, which could cause a failure. Inspecting units annually can extend their lifespan and optimize their performance. 3️⃣ Fans Some UPS fans may perform well for 10 years of continuous use, while others could run for just a short time before locking up or failing. Electrical or mechanical limitations and dried-out ball bearings are common issues that can result in fan failures and subsequent UPS overheating. 4️⃣ Filters A UPS may overheat (and shut down) when particulates like dust and debris block air filters. Because replacing filters is an inexpensive component of an effective UPS maintenance plan, they should be inspected monthly and changed as needed. 5️⃣ Connections Poor connections are among the most common reasons for UPS failures in modern systems, as loose internal connections can cause an unexpected failure. Regular inspections can help you catch faulty connections before they become a problem. An annual PM visit allows a trained service technician to inspect the UPS and battery cabinets for loose internal connections arising due to machinery close to the unit or building vibrations. 6️⃣ Power supplies Even redundant #PowerSupplies can be impacted by input voltage surges, leading to stress and overheating. If you notice that your UPS is regularly running hot, especially frequently, you could attribute a UPS failure to aging power supplies. However, determining that an aging power supply is the reason for your UPS failure isn’t as easy as identifying other UPS problems. You’ll likely need to contact a professional team to help you complete an inspection and prevent #downtime. 7️⃣ Contactors Also susceptible to dust, UPS contactors should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Dust in the contactors can cause other components to fail, leading to costly repairs and downtime. Keeping up with #maintenance and regular inspections can help you prevent these problems. At Unified Power, we are committed to delivering exceptional, timely maintenance performed by highly trained industry professionals. We provide immediate help for UPS failure and mission critical power services to help you keep your UPS in the best condition.

Reminder: NFPA 110 requires you to run and test your #IndustrialGenerator at least once a month for 30 minutes under at least 30% load. If you can't, you must perform an annual load-test. Our responsive team can help you resolve any issues. Learn about our #maintenance and #repair services: https://bit.ly/3ZONKrJ

When there's an emergency with your #UPS, you need help fast to protect your #data and your employees. 👍 Rather than rely on OEMs, benefit from the expertise and cost-savings of our responsive team. We can reach anywhere in the #UnitedStates within a day and some locations as quickly as 2-4 hours. See our service map: https://bit.ly/3ZP2KFT

Centralized or distributed? There's no one-size-fits-all approach to #UPS. In a centralized set-up, one large #UPSsystem is responsible for protecting multiple loads and doesn't need to be located with the equipment it protects. A decentralized UPS, however, does need to be adjacent. Use these factors to decide which is best for your business: https://bit.ly/4gI1z1f
