Battery MaintenanceNearly all UPS systems rely on storage batteries to provide a high power DC source from which AC power is created during a power outage. These batteries must deliver at full capacity during the "ride through" period to ensure your company stays on-line. Just as with a car battery, a single bad cell can prevent an entire string of cells from delivering the power you need to keep going.
All batteries deteriorate with time. The causes of deterioration are well understood. With the right equipment, deterioration can be detected and corrective action can be taken… including the preventative measure of cell replacement before the cell actually fails. Regular battery health checkups are key to ensuring that your UPS can deliver the ride-through power your company depends on during a power emergency.
What You Need to Know…
UPS Maintenance & Service: New installations: You should feel confident that the critical power system is composed of subsystem elements offering performance and quality second to none. While your system elements are covered by limited warranties furnished by the individual manufacturers, such warranties do not guarantee that a failure of a component will not occur. These limited warranties simply cover all or some of the cost of repairs to return your equipment to service. While this is important, it does not cover the cost of down time, possible equipment damage, lost revenue and restart costs.
Just as with the purchase of a new car, certain preventive maintenance operations should be performed on a regular basis even during the warranty period to ensure optimal performance and to identify potential problems before they result in a failure. This type of service is more important in a critical power system given that the costs are so high in the event of a failure of the critical power system to deliver when you need it.
Lastly, small resistances at the connection points from the generator and utility to the breaker panels can adversely affect the high current delivery system supporting your operations. Such resistances can cause line drops, hot spots and eventual connection failure. Periodically, these connection points should be inspected and re-torqued to ensure the highest integrity connections possible.
You are encouraged to become familiar with the preventive maintenance needs of each element of your critical power system and ensure that experienced and properly trained persons on a regular schedule complete each activity. In the unlikely event that a system element does fail, the manufacturer as part of validating warranty claims will require evidence of regular preventive maintenance. Be sure you keep records of your preventive maintenance activities.
The Right Tools… When we test and evaluate your batteries, Intelligent Power Solutions, Inc. experts use the state of the art equipment to obtain the best, most accurate results possible. For example, our technicians are outfitted with: Midtronics model 3200 or 5000 battery Testers Albercorp Cellcorder™ Digital Hydrometers With this equipment the factory-trained technicians can accurately diagnose the health of your UPS batteries. They can then take corrective action or recommend cell replacements so the power is always there when you need it.
