The importance of owning a UPS system during times of load-shedding

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is an emergency source of power. These systems are essential business elements when it comes to saving you downtime during power outages. Here’s why owning a UPS system is important in times of load-shedding:

Less Downtime:

A UPS system is very important during times of load-shedding as it will kick in and provide power before the power failure could influence your equipment. This instant back-up system will minimise the downtime of your business. If you do not have a UPS system, the time it takes between the power failure and turning on your generator is time and business lost.

Equipment Protection:

In times of load-shedding, equipment can become damaged without protection. A UPS system will provide your equipment with the protection that it needs. The UPS system will bring through a flow of consistent power, removing the risk of surges and other potentially harmful occurrences that come with power failures. There will be a reduced chance of equipment failure, which will also reduce unnecessary costs.

Link Between Powers:

Having a UPS system could also be a great way to provide a link between your initial flow of power, and your back-up power. UPS systems can be used as a bridging power from when the power failure occurs, to when you have turned your generator on – and vice versa. This bridge will also reduce your downtime and allow you to change between power sources without damaging any property.
