A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a device that provides emergency power to connected equipment when the main power source fails. It also conditions incoming power to protect equipment from surges, sags, and other power disturbances. Any organization that relies on servers, networking equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, or sensitive electronics needs a UPS to prevent data loss, equipment damage, and costly downtime during outages.

Single-phase UPS systems are designed for lighter loads — typically up to 20 kVA — and are commonly used for individual servers, workstations, networking closets, and small offices. Three-phase UPS systems are designed for larger, more critical installations such as data centers, enterprise server rooms, and manufacturing facilities, and are capable of supporting loads from tens of kilowatts up to several megawatts. The right choice depends on your total power load, the criticality of your equipment, and your facility’s electrical infrastructure.
Not sure which is right for your load? See our UPS Sizing Guide →
To properly size a UPS, you need to calculate the total power load of all connected equipment in watts or volt-amperes (VA), then add a capacity buffer — typically 20–25% — to allow for future growth and to avoid running the UPS at maximum load. You should also consider your required runtime and whether you need redundancy. Power Solutions offers a free UPS sizing consultation and has published a detailed guide on its website to walk you through the process step by step.

There are three main UPS topologies. Standby (offline) UPS systems provide basic surge protection and battery backup and are suited for home offices and light-duty applications. Line-interactive UPS systems add automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to handle common power fluctuations without drawing on the battery, making them a popular choice for small-to-medium businesses. Online double-conversion UPS systems provide the highest level of protection by continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and back to AC, completely isolating connected equipment from all power disturbances — this topology is the standard for mission-critical data centers and healthcare environments.
Browse UPS systems by manufacturer and topology: View All UPS Systems →
Runtime depends on three factors: the capacity of the UPS battery (measured in amp-hours), the power draw of the connected load, and the age and condition of the battery. A lightly loaded UPS may provide 20–30 minutes or more, while a heavily loaded system may only provide 5–10 minutes. Extended runtime can be achieved by adding external battery cabinets. For most data center applications, the goal of UPS runtime is simply to bridge the gap until a generator starts — typically 5–15 minutes.
Power Solutions can model runtime scenarios for your specific load — call 800-876-9373 or request a consultation →
Most UPS batteries have a design life of 3–5 years, though actual life varies depending on temperature, cycle frequency, and maintenance practices. Heat is the single biggest factor — every 10°C above the rated ambient temperature can cut battery life in half. As a best practice, Power Solutions recommends proactive battery replacement every 3–4 years for mission-critical systems, regardless of apparent battery health. Annual battery testing and inspection can help identify early degradation and prevent unexpected failures.

A UPS provides instantaneous battery backup that kicks in the moment utility power fails, protecting equipment from even brief interruptions. However, battery runtime is limited — usually minutes, not hours. A generator provides long-duration backup power but takes time to start and stabilize — typically 10–30 seconds. These two technologies are designed to work together: the UPS bridges the gap while the generator comes online. For facilities with critical uptime requirements, both a UPS and a standby generator are necessary components of a complete power continuity strategy.

Redundancy levels define how much backup capacity a critical power system has in the event of a component failure. N means the system has exactly the capacity needed to support the load with no backup — any single failure could cause an outage. N+1 means there is one additional component beyond what is required, so a single component can fail without affecting the load. 2N means the entire system is fully duplicated, providing the highest level of fault tolerance. The appropriate redundancy level depends on the facility’s uptime requirements, budget, and the criticality of the operations it supports.
Power Solutions engineers can help determine the right redundancy architecture for your application — call 800-876-9373 or request a consultation →
Critical power infrastructure is a system of interdependent components — UPS, generator, transfer switches, distribution, batteries, and cooling all interact with each other. A holistic design approach ensures that each component is properly sized and compatible with the others, that the system performs as intended under both normal and abnormal conditions, and that there are no gaps in protection or capacity. Working with a vendor-specific resource risks an incomplete solution because that manufacturer’s product line may not cover every component needed.

Choosing the right APC UPS depends on several factors: the total load in watts (not VA) of the equipment you need to protect, the required runtime during an outage, the form factor that fits your environment (tower, rack-mount, or modular), and the level of protection needed (line-interactive vs. double-conversion online). Power Solutions has published a guide specifically on this topic to help you navigate the selection process.
See our guide: How to Choose the Right APC UPS for Your Application →
Proper UPS sizing requires calculating the total wattage of all connected equipment (not the VA rating shown on power supplies, but actual watts consumed under load), then adding a 20–25% overhead for headroom and future growth. Runtime requirements will determine the battery capacity needed, which may require external battery modules for extended runtime. Power Solutions recommends consulting with an applications engineer to review your specific load profile before selecting a system.
