SUMMARY

The discussion centers on issues related to Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) failing to meet load demands. Key reasons identified include the UPS being underrated for the application and drawing more amps than the UPS is rated for. Users are advised to check the UPS capacity and consider purchasing an additional unit if the load is too large. Additionally, for older UPS units, components may need replacement beyond just the battery, and professional assessment is recommended.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of UPS specifications and ratings
  • Knowledge of electrical load calculations
  • Familiarity with UPS maintenance and battery replacement
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for electrical devices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research UPS sizing and load management techniques
  • Learn about UPS battery maintenance and lifespan
  • Explore common UPS component failures and their solutions
  • Investigate professional UPS diagnostic services
USEFUL FOR

IT professionals, electrical engineers, and anyone responsible for maintaining power continuity in critical systems will benefit from this discussion.

hi...
i would like to know the fact of UPS(uninterruptible power supply) that why sometimes UPS has some problem to satisfy the load and how to recover the problem...

If you draw more amps than the UPS is rated for, it may not satisfy your load.
You may need to buy two if you have a very large load to provide for.

Most likely your UPS is underrated for the application.

Exactly ! some time one UPC can not bear too much load and so they are not working well as per gendou you need to check your UPS capacity and if needed buy one more UPS for satisfy your requirement.

Hi,
I have a problem with my UPS. I've used it for 3 years now. In the last few weeks it seemed that it was the time to change the battery as it didn't respond well with the load. So I did that accordingly. But when I changed the battery with a new one, the problem is still going on. So, it's not the problem of battery, I suppose. The symptom is just like the dropping battery, but it's not.
What is probably the problem with a 3 year old UPS? What components do I have to change?
Thank you guys for your kindly reply.
 
I think you need to first show it some professional person or try some other UPS to check is it really cause of that or not

Most likely this can only be answered by an "old timer". I am making measurements on an uA709 op amp (metal can). I would like to calculate the frequency rolloff curves (I can measure them). I assume the compensation is via the miller effect. To do the calculations I would need to know the gain of the transistors and the effective resistance seen at the compensation terminals, not including the values I put there. Anyone know those values?
