If your business makes use of sensitive equipment from manufacturing machinery to computers, then you may well also have an Uninterruptible Power Supply, or UPS, installed to prevent power loss, surge, or transient variance to your equipment. During a storm or power surge, and sudden spikes in power demands across the grid, an ups is a buffer between the grid and your equipment maintaining a proper, steady line feed to your equipment. It is however important to know that regular maintenance is required
Especially if you live in highly volatile zones like hurricane and tornado corridors or earthquake and heavy storm areas like socal, ups maintenance should be carried out on a regular schedule. Maintenance needs range from quarterly visual inspections to bi-annual testing of UPS transfer switches and circuit breakers as well as a maintenance of the bypasses. Protect your business with a ups, protect your ups with regular maintenance.
