UPS
Uninterruptible power supplies provide critical protection for servers, networking equipment and workstations by supplying temporary power during outages and smoothing voltage fluctuations. Tech Shop offers a variety of UPS forms, from compact desktop units for single PCs to rack-mount and online double-conversion systems for datacentre and server room installations.
When choosing a UPS, match the power rating (VA and wattage) to the combined load of connected equipment and allow headroom for future expansion. Consider runtime requirements at the chosen load and whether the UPS supports hot-swappable batteries or easy battery replacement for minimal downtime.
Features to compare include line-interactive or online topologies, surge protection, automatic voltage regulation, management interfaces such as USB, serial or network monitoring cards and integration with power management software that can automate graceful shutdowns.
For rack-mounted equipment, look for models with 1U/2U form factors, compatible rail kits and remote monitoring. Battery lifetime, warranty terms and availability of replacement battery modules are practical considerations for long-term reliability. For critical applications, redundant UPS architectures reduce single points of failure.
