UPS is required for the operation of systems in the event of a power failure. Unlike the generator, it does not sense the power interruption and instantly switches on, allowing the instruments and systems to operate. However, on the other hand, we can say that it is a more durable device than the generator. In some cases, it can burn and may become unusable. Although repair after failure is an option, it would be a smarter choice to prevent the power supply burning from happening.

 

What Are the Causes of UPS Burn?

Conditions arising from the installation or from improper use can be converted to permanent defects. In this case, in order to repair the power supply or prevent possible burns, it is necessary to know at what reasons the failures can take place.

 

No Suitable Choice for Load

Each power supply has an upper voltage limit. So there is a limit to the energy that the UPS system can regulate. If the installation on the building is over this limit, burning is inevitable and if the device is repaired, the failure will repeat and will lead to new costs. For example, the use of a home UPS in a workshop or factory will create a problem. In this case, the power supply must be selected according to the location, area, electrical installation and the equipment used.

 

Sudden High Voltage Fluctuations

The preferred UPS may cause the sudden voltage fluctuations to fail even though the installation on the building is properly selected. Especially using UPS in buildings where the electrical installation is not renewed is dangerous in this respect. Because static electricity circulating in the installation to the power supply will inevitably cause a fault. Also, in situations such as lightning strike, it is almost impossible to protect the power supply and make it to operate.

 

User-Related Situations

Improper use can also cause a UPS fault. Making the wrong connections, not performing the necessary maintenance will cause the power supply to burn.

 

How to Avoid Power Supply Faults?

By taking certain precautions, it is possible to prevent the power supply from malfunctioning and burning.

• Be sure the installation of the building where the power supply will be replaced is renewed.
• Installation must be done by a qualified person.
• The power supply must be selected according to the voltage level of the building, the energy consumed by the appliances to be used.
• Be sure to take precautions against factors such as lightning.
• If the connection cables are outdated, they must be replaced, and grounding must be done in the sockets inside the apartment / building.

While all of these are necessary, they are not enough to prevent situations such as power supply burning. As mentioned, the current passing through the conductor creates an electromagnetic field which induces the voltage in the system, causing the induced voltage to deteriorate. Therefore, the way to prevent the UPS from burning is through eliminating the formation of this voltage. For this you need to get a Trimbox.

Protect your Power Supply with Trimbox

Trimbox is capable of reducing even the highest voltage levels and adjusting it to match the power supply. It is important to note that there is no other option to protect your power supply, especially in lightning situations. By using the Trimbox, you can completely prevent high-voltage situations such as UPS burning and ensure long-term use of power supplies.
