UPS Power System Configuration Principles
Although there is a spectrum of design configurations, there are five principle UPS arrangements often referred to as; 'Capacity' (N), 'Isolated Redundant', 'Parallel Redundant' (N+1), 'Distributed Redundant' (N+N) and 'System plus System' (2N) or (2N+1). From plug and receptacle charts and facts about power problems to an overview of various UPS topologies and factors affecting battery life, you'll find a wealth of pertinent resources designed to help you develop the optimum. There are five principle UPS system design configurations that distribute power from the utility source of a building to the critical loads of a data center. The core value of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is "Energy storage during normal operation + Voltage regulation, seamless switching to battery power when the mains supply fails".
