South African businesses have been struggling with load shedding for years. ESKOM’s faulty infrastructure and unreliable electricity supply have resulted in frequent blackouts and power cuts, leaving businesses in the dark and causing significant financial losses in all types of industries from small home based business, IT industry, Data centers, medical and hospital groups to heavy industry and manufacturing. Load shedding will only worsen as we head into winter and the demand for electricity skyrockets. It’s essential to take steps to secure your business against these disruptions. One of the best ways to do this is to invest in an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
Seven ways a UPS will secure your business
A UPS will secure your business by providing an uninterrupted power supply backup power source that will seamlessly continue to provide your critical loads with clean uninterrupted power when the utility power grid fails or goes outside of acceptable limits of voltage and frequency which would otherwise corrupt or even permanently damage your critical loads.
Here are seven ways a UPS can make your business more secure:
- Protect your equipment
Power outages can damage sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, servers, and other hardware. A UPS will protect your equipment from power dips and surges as well as voltage spikes and transients, ensuring that your hardware remains in good condition.
- Prevent data loss
Power outages can cause data loss or corruption of all types of equipment using electronics and software controls, which can be disastrous for businesses operations that rely on electronic software data for their operations. A UPS will give you enough time to save your work and shut down your equipment correctly, minimizing the risk of data loss or even just carry on supplying the critical loads connected to its AC inverter with power form its inline battery source which is usually a lead acid high rate battery called a VRLA, until a standby generator can start and take over the function of normal utility power.
- Keep your security systems online
During a power outage, your security systems, such as cameras and alarms, may go offline, leaving your business vulnerable to theft or other security breaches and core functions vulnerability. A UPS will ensure that your security systems remain online, keeping your business safe and secure.
- Avoid downtime
Downtime can be costly for businesses, especially those that rely on continuous operations with an uninterrupted power source. A UPS will prevent downtime by providing backup power, ensuring that your business can continue to operate and be profitable even during power outages.
- Improve customer satisfaction
If your business relies on customer-facing operations, such as a retail store or a call center, a power outage can be particularly disruptive. A UPS will ensure that your customer-facing operations remain online, providing a seamless experience for your customers and keeping your business ahead in the race to offer the best customer service in your industry.
- Protect your revenue
Power outages can result in lost revenue, particularly for businesses that rely on continuous operations. A UPS will prevent revenue loss by providing backup power, ensuring that your business can continue to operate even during a power outage.
- Peace of mind
Knowing that your business is protected against power outages can give you peace of mind. You won’t have to worry about the financial and operational implications of a power outage, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business.
What South African businesses can benefit from a UPS?
