A home UPS system is a very basic domestic utility now a day, but the technology involved is not very simple, and so is the structure. The primary role of any UPS is to provide short-term power when the input power source fails. However, most UPS units are also capable in varying degrees of correcting common utility power problems like, Voltage spike or sustained Overvoltage, Momentary or sustained reduction in input voltage Noise usually injected into the line by nearby equipment, Instability of the mains frequency, Harmonic distortion: defined as a departure from the ideal sinusoidal waveform expected on the line. Basically UPS are on 2 types, On-line UPS & Off-line UPS. Normally our household UPS, connected to computers etc, are online UPS systems. The most important part of getting right UPS for your need is now how to make the selection, among different make & ratings of UPS available in market. For UPS equipment “size does matter, but bigger is not necessarily better”. In choosing UPS, selecting a model of the proper size is central. Selecting an UPS that is too small to provide enough power for the equipment you need protected should be avoided. As a good portion of the purchase price of an UPS is directly related to its size or output capacity, selecting one that is too large for your needs will be a waste of money. The size of UPS units indicates their output power capacity. This rating is in VA (volt/amperes) or kVA (thousand volt amperes) which is preceded by a number like 500VA or 2kVA. To the lay person this can be confusing, because the power consumption label located on most equipment is typically rated in watts or amps, not VA. When the rating is specified in VA, it can become more confusing, as the input power factor of the equipment must also be considered. Most UPS manufacturers state the output power of their UPS products in Watts or Amps somewhere on their product box or in their published specifications. Most manufacturers make their product specifications available on their web sites. To determine the input watts required to power a specific piece of equipment, multiply the input current (in AMPS) required operating the equipment times the utility voltage. A list of major home UPS players of India is as follows:
