Maintaining a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system is crucial for its reliability and performance.

Here are some key points about UPS & Battery maintenance:

Preventive Maintenance:

♦ – Regular preventive maintenance keeps the UPS in good working order and helps prevent failures.

♦ – Scheduled activities include visual inspections, cleaning, and monitoring temperature and humidity.

♦ – Thermal heat scans can identify hot spots, which are often early signs of component failure.

Corrective Maintenance:

♦ – Corrective maintenance is performed in response to a failure.

♦ – When components malfunction, corrective actions are taken to restore functionality.

Benefits of Regular UPS Maintenance:

♦ – Increased Life Span: Proper maintenance extends the operational life of your UPS system.

♦ – Optimal Performance: Regular upkeep ensures peak performance.

♦ – Reduced Costs: Preventive maintenance minimizes unexpected repairs and emergency expenses.

♦ – Less Downtime Risk: Well-maintained UPS systems prevent data loss and equipment damage during power outages.

Risks of Neglecting Maintenance:

♦ – Loss of Necessary Power: Industries relying on UPS systems face critical situations during power outages.

♦ – Increased Costs: Damaged or degraded UPS components can be expensive to replace.

♦ – Potential Revenue Loss: Unreliable backup systems lead to downtime, affecting productivity and revenue.

Remember, a well-maintained UPS is your reliable backup when you need it most!
