Part 4 – Matching a diesel generator to your UPS system

Go Back

To ensure the highest level of protection for critical IT applications, it is essential to have a well-matched UPS and generator combination. Opting for an on-line UPS, which can handle a wide range of frequency variations, is the ideal choice. Additionally, the generator should be appropriately sized to handle voltage fluctuations effectively. For enhanced reliability, the generator can be equipped with an electronic governor, and the automatic transfer switch can be integrated with an in-phase monitor.

Why on-line UPS technology is best suited for use with generators

The double conversion technology employed in on-line UPS systems makes them exceptionally effective in mitigating the impact of frequency variations in the input power. This is achieved by first converting the incoming AC power to DC power and then reconverting it back to AC, resulting in a clean and regulated output. Consequently, on-line UPS systems provide a stable power supply to safeguard mission-critical applications. When paired with a generator, the on-line UPS ensures seamless power backup, delivering consistent and reliable performance.
