What is the difference between industrial UPS and commercial UPS?
I believe that all friends will be very upset when the power is suddenly cut off while using electricity.UPS uninterruptible power supply can play the role of uninterruptiblePower Supplyfor us. Below Banatton tells you the difference between industrial UPS and commercial UPS.
- Distinguish industrial and commercial UPS according to the application field of UPS
It is very difficult for most industrial UPS users to identify the key difference between commercial machines and industrial machines. Commercial UPS and industrial UPS are mainly divided according to the application field of UPS.
Generally speaking,OnlineUPS systems can be roughly divided into three main application fields:
(1) Information Technology (IT):
Commercial UPS has been closely integrated with Information Technology (IT), and the bidding specifications of UPS equipment for information technology do not require special technical requirements. Telecommunications, banks, insurance companies and data centers of large enterprises are typical examples of commercial UPS applications. In these applications, the interruption of AC power may cause interruption of data processing and telecommunications transmission, but usually does not cause direct damage to people or property.
(2) Critical process or process control:
For decades, industrial UPS systems have accumulated rich experience in the design and application of critical process or process control applications. In these applications, interruption or instability of AC power at the load end may cause dangerous chemical process instability failures, or cause great damage to the production system or even the surrounding environment. Petrochemical synthesis and power generation plants are typical examples of chemical or steam processing operations. Such processes will be dangerous if the control power is interrupted. Due to the huge risks and losses that may arise from the control power, UPS systems must be designed specifically for industrial environments and have more rigorous performance testing than commercial machines.
(3) Ordinary process or process control:
We call this middle part of the application light industry. Even if the AC power is interrupted during the processing operation, these types of applications are not fatal. In these processes, UPS failure or instability may result in the loss of finished products or hundreds of man-hours of rescheduling of product equipment. Pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries would be examples of light industrial types. In these areas, the high reliability of industrial UPS systems will effectively avoid the above situation. Of course, due to the popularity of commercial UPS, it is also used in these fields.
- Distinguish industrial and commercial UPS according to the technical type of UPS:
The load of commercial UPS is mostly IT equipment that requires AC power, so its product type is a typical AC output UPS, including backup, online interactive and double conversion online, all of which are used. The communication power supply (high-frequency switching rectifier) widely used in the telecommunications field can also be understood as a commercial UPS category.
The product concept of industrial UPS is more general, including both AC output UPS and DC UPS with DC output, and even a combination of multiple product types. In different industrial fields, the proportion of AC UPS and DC UPS is different
Even for AC UPS, the technology of industrial UPS is mostly the traditional technical structure of thyristor rectification + IGBT inverter. The high reliability of this traditional double conversion online UPS is generally recognized by industrial customers.
- Differentiate between industrial and commercial UPS according to UPS manufacturers:
The application fields of industrial UPS and commercial UPS are different. Based on development history, market strategy, technical advantages and other reasons, each UPS manufacturer has basically formed a situation of industrial and commercial polarization.
In the commercial UPS market, there are many UPS brands and fierce competition; in the industrial UPS market, the market capacity is relatively small, and basically a few brands occupy most of the market share. Banatton brand still has a considerable market share. It has been focusing on the industrial field for more than 20 years, accumulated rich professional experience and engineering experience, and has been widely recognized by customers.
