Voltage and Frequency Regulation
By adjusting voltage levels and maintaining the frequency of the power supply, a UPS ensures that sensitive equipment receives stable power.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a system that provides temporary power in the event of a utility power failure. These systems act as a buffer, ensuring a continuous electricity supply to protect equipment from power abnormalities and potential disruptions. UPS systems are crucial for maintaining power in essential facilities such as hospitals, airports, control centres, and manufacturing plants.
A UPS system requires regular inspection, testing, and maintenance to function properly during critical times. A well-maintained UPS system could mean the difference between seamless operations and significant downtime during power outages.
how does a ups work?
A UPS system protects your electrical equipment from power failures by providing the following:
SURGE PROTECTION
Selecting the right UPS system is crucial for protecting your equipment from power surges and voltage spikes, preventing significant damage to your facility.
BACKUP POWER
In the event of a blackout, battery backup power provides immediate power, preventing data loss and equipment damage.
NOISE FILTERING
“Noise” refers to unwanted electrical disturbances that can disrupt normal device operations. A UPS isolates equipment from noise, protecting it from disruptions.
BENEFITs OF A UPS SYSTEM
A reliable UPS system ensures uninterrupted power for critical operations during outages while protecting equipment from damage caused by electrical surges and fluctuations.

Infrared scanning is an advanced technology that uses specialized cameras to detect abnormal heat signatures invisible to the naked eye. Also known as thermal imaging, IR scanning is a valuable preventative measure in identifying hot spots before disruptions or electrical disasters occur. Interpreting thermal images requires expertise because different materials emit heat in various ways. This is why having a qualified thermographer is essential for accurately diagnosing potential issues
BENEFITS OF INFRARED SCANNING
Predict. Prevent. Protect.
Early Detection
Identify issues early to reduce costly repairs and disruption. Infrared scanning can detect heat build-up from electrical overload, which can lead to breakdowns, helping prevent costly downtime and potential safety hazards.
Preventative Maintenance
Infrared scanning is an integral tool for electrical preventative maintenance. IR scanning provides real-time assessment data that helps facility managers plan and schedule repairs before problems arise. By using infrared scanning, you can extend the lifespan of your equipment, manage your budget more effectively, and reduce unexpected downtime, maintaining the health of your facility.
Data-Informed Decisions
Infrared scanning offers valuable data that allows property managers to monitor their equipment’s condition effectively. This information supports informed decisions about repairs and replacements while meeting insurance requirements. Many building insurance policies now require regular electrical maintenance checks, with detailed infrared scanning reports becoming an annual necessity rather than just a recommendation.
