Course Description
This course will explore the various types of static and dynamic UPS’. Power outages are detrimental to the electrical network and installation systems as well as battery chatgers. 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 centres.
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 has become essential equipment in most electrical installations.
