UPS devices

A UPS device is selected according to the equipment that must remain powered and backup requirements. Distinguish the UPS itself from an external battery pack, mounting kit or control card before comparing parameters and package contents.

Topology and load by specific model

The category includes line-interactive and on-line designations. Check the topology and operating characteristics of the selected reference against the equipment requirements. Do not assume all UPS devices behave identically or can be replaced solely by a similar number in the title. Prepare a list of loads and required power supply parameters.

VA and W are separate comparison data

As a specific example, BORRI LEONARDO T is a single-phase tower UPS with on-line double conversion. For the LEONARDO T 6 kVA version, rated power is 5,4 kW. These data apply to the stated model and version; do not transfer them to another product with a similar name or the whole category.

For your equipment, check the required load against all applicable limitations of the exact UPS. Also check runtime data for the corresponding load and battery configuration. A power rating alone does not determine backup duration. Do not infer identical runtime for different loads or a product with added batteries unless the specific combination is described.

Format, batteries and additions

Compare the size and placement method with the available space. If planning cabinet installation, check the format and required mounting kit. Check an external battery pack for exact compatibility with the UPS, and a control card for explicitly supported devices and functions. Their presence in the category does not mean they connect to every main unit.

For browsing by manufacturer, use BORRI, SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC or LEGRAND. If seeking another power supply function, compare power supply units, with the general overview in Power supplies and batteries. Before ordering, bring the load, required backup, mounting and accessories together in one list with exact references. Check separately what is supplied with UPS and which additions remain separate items.
