How to use accumulator correctly in UPS power supply

In the process of using UPS power supply system, people tend to unilaterally think that storage battery is maintenance-free and pay no attention to it. However, data show that the proportion of UPS mainframe failure or abnormal operation caused by battery failure is about 1/3. Therefore, it is more and more important to strengthen the correct use and maintenance of UPS batteries for prolonging the life of batteries and reducing the failure rate of UPS systems.
In addition to the selection of regular brand batteries, we should start from the following aspects to correctly use and maintain batteries:

1.Maintain appropriate ambient temperature

Ambient temperature is an important factor affecting the life of battery. The optimum ambient temperature required by battery manufacturers is between 20℃ ~ 25 ℃. Although the discharge capacity of batteries is improved with the increase of temperature, the cost is that the life of batteries is greatly shortened. According to the test results, once the ambient temperature exceeds 25℃, the battery life will be reduced by half for every 10℃ increase. At present, UPS batteries are generally maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries. Their design life is generally five years, which can be achieved only under the environment required by battery manufacturers. If it fails to meet the required environmental requirements, its life span will vary greatly. In addition, the increase of ambient temperature will lead to the increase of chemical activity inside the battery, which will generate a lot of heat, and in turn will promote the increase of ambient temperature. This vicious cycle will accelerate the shortening of battery life.

2.Charging and discharging regularly

The floating charge voltage and discharge voltage in UPS power supply have been adjusted to the rated value at the time of leaving the factory. The discharge current increases with the increase of the load. The load should be adjusted reasonably in use, such as controlling the number of electronic devices such as microcomputers. Normally, the load should not exceed 60% of the UPS rated load. Within this range, the discharge current of the battery will not be excessive discharge.
Because UPS is connected with municipal electricity for a long time, in the environment of high quality power supply and few blackouts, the storage battery will be in floating charge for a long time, which will lead to the reduction of the activity of the conversion between chemical energy and electric energy, accelerate aging and shorten the service life of the battery. Therefore, the discharge should be completed every 2-3 months, and the discharge time can be determined according to the capacity and load size of the battery. After discharge of a full load, recharge for more than 8 hours according to regulations.

3.Utilizing Communication Functions

At present, the vast majority of large and medium-sized UPS have the operability of communication with microcomputers and program control. The corresponding software is installed on the computer, and UPS is connected through serial/parallel ports. By running the program, the computer can communicate with UPS. Generally, it has the functions of information inquiry, parameter setting, timing setting, automatic shutdown and alarm. Through information inquiry, information such as input voltage, UPS output voltage, load utilization ratio, battery capacity utilization ratio, in-machine temperature and power frequency can be obtained. Through parameter setting, basic characteristics of UPS, battery maintenance time and battery exhaustion alarm can be set. Through these intelligent operations, it greatly facilitates the use and management of UPS power supply and its batteries.

4.Replace batteries in time.

At present, the number of batteries equipped with large and medium UPS power supply varies from 3 to 80, or even more. These individual batteries form battery packs through circuit connections to meet the needs of UPS DC power supply. In the continuous operation and use of UPS, due to the difference in performance and quality, the performance of individual batteries is degraded and the storage capacity is not up to the requirements and damage is inevitable. When one or more batteries in the battery pack are damaged, maintenance personnel should check and test each batteries to eliminate damaged batteries. When replacing new batteries, we should strive to purchase batteries of the same type as those of the same manufacturer. It is forbidden to mix acid-proof batteries with sealed batteries and batteries of different specifications.

Correct selection of backup time for UPS

图片
UPS backup time is generally a problem concerned by customer in the purchase process. Usually most people prefer to choose the  UPS  which power backup the longer the better, in fact, this is not correct. We must firstly clear that the seller will usually have standard type UPS and long-acting UPS. Standard type UPS with built-in battery, after a power interruption can supply power to the load equipment in general for a few minutes to tens of minutes, of course, the length of time depends on the load. Long acting UPS can not only meet the power requirement of load, but also meet the requirements of customers and work types and so on, so the long-term UPS is usually equipped with an external battery pack. If the client is not particularly strict to the work condition of the load, and the power of the load is not particularly large, usually with standard type UPS would be enough. Because the choice of long backup time UPS is bound to increase the number of battery groups an...

126th Canton Fair

图片
On Oct 15th 2019, as one of the most important trade promotion platforms for Chinese enterprises to expand the global market, Canton Fair in Guangzhou focused on highlighting innovation driven, and “independent brand” became a high-frequency word of Canton Fair. Xu Bing, a spokesman for the Canton Fair and deputy director of the China Foreign Trade Center, said that the domestic and foreign environment faced by China’s foreign trade development this year is more complex and uncertain. The majority of exhibitors accelerated quality improvement and innovation, and continued to make efforts in technology research and development, product innovation, brand cultivation, etc., with high technology, high quality, high added value and independent brand products emerging. Many independent innovative R & D products are welcomed by the market. At the same time, purchasers are less sensitive to price and pay more attention to the technology, brand, quality and service of products. In ...

How to maximize the efficiency of your UPS

图片
1.Use of AC voltage regulator After using  UPS power supply , there is no need to add AC voltage regulator. If it must be added, it should be added to the front level of UPS, that is, the mains power first passes through the AC voltage regulator, then through the ups, and then to the load. 2.Battery balanced charging skills At present, valve regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA) used in many ups power supply is called maintenance free battery from the beginning, which gives users a misunderstanding that it seems that this battery is durable and does not need maintenance at all. Under this kind of misleading, many users have not carried out maintenance and management since they installed the battery. When the battery in UPS power supply meets the following conditions, the battery shall be charged evenly: when the terminal voltage is lower than the specified calibration voltage due to excessive discharge. For 12 V small sealed lead-acid batteries, the discharge calibration voltage is...
