Introduction

It’s a simple fact that most electronic and electrical equipment – regardless of how well-designed and manufactured it is, will fail at some point. Failure-induced downtime is out of the question for any commercially-used equipment, but it’s especially serious for UPS systems; if they go offline, they compromise all the equipment they have been installed to protect – leading to power outages, blackouts and loss of consumer confidence. Luckily, there are a number of things you can do to minimise this risk and support your UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems for as long as possible. 

At the basic level, your UPS system should be kept in a clean, dry and well-lit area, and you should check that all alarms and indications are recorded, logged and reported flawlessly. Responsibility for the UPS and its related equipment operation should be assigned to a named member of staff, and a suitable UPS maintenance contract negotiated with a reputable UPS maintenance provider – such as Dale Power Solutions. We enact a strict, industry-regulated corrective maintenance programme that ensures optimal efficiency through various means: a regular testing and maintenance schedule; emergency call-out facilities with an actionable response time; end-of-life component replacement, such as replacement batteries and replacement parts.
