In our experience, we have encountered nine common UPS specification mistakes, so we put together this guide to help engineers avoid them. Specifying an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) involves considerably more than matching a UPS rating to the connected load. Load type, battery autonomy, operating environment, redundancy and future expansion can all affect how the …
In this blog, we detail why generator-supported loads still need online UPS protection. Many organisations invest in standby generators believing they have eliminated the risk of power interruptions. While they are an essential part of any backup power strategy, they are only one component of a complete power protection system supporting essential electrical supplies in …
In this blog, we discover how UPS systems protect distribution centres, courier facilities, and warehouse automation from power interruptions, voltage instability, and generator changeovers. Across South Africa, large logistics facilities rely on conveyor systems, warehouse management platforms, barcode scanning infrastructure, dispatch software, refrigeration areas, fleet coordination systems, and tightly synchronised workflows. As explored in our …
In this blog, we investigate why industrial UPS batteries fail prematurely in South Africa, because in many UPS failures, the UPS itself is not the problem, the battery system is. Across South Africa and the broader Southern African region, businesses often invest heavily in UPS infrastructure while paying far less attention to the batteries supporting …
