Abstract :
The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has seen its role change from a nondescript simple emergency power source to that of an intelligent system component capable of interfacing with advanced management systems on enterprise networks. There are UPS systems available with power ratings from tens to millions of VA. The authors discuss UPS applications, dynamic load testing, specifications, power monitoring, software, and enterprise networks
