Current Measurement Solution for UPS Power Systems from LEM
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) are crucial for providing continuous power to critical loads during power outages. Unlike emergency generators, UPS systems deliver power instantly—albeit typically for a short duration—allowing enough time for backup sources, usually batteries, to activate or for equipment to shut down safely.
UPS systems are commonly used in critical applications such as hospitals, industrial facilities, or telecommunication and IT infrastructures. A key driver behind the growth of the UPS market is the rapid expansion of data centers, accelerated by the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence. UPS systems not only ensure power continuity but also filter voltage spikes, sags, and electrical noise, maintaining stable power quality.
LEM’s current sensors play an essential role in UPS systems by monitoring load currents, enabling efficient regulation and preventing overloading. These products protect critical infrastructure by detecting anomalies and ensuring seamless switching to battery power during outages, thereby preserving data integrity. Current transducers are indispensable for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of UPS systems, as they provide accurate measurements that optimize energy usage and enhance overall system performance.
By ensuring accurate current monitoring, current sensors contribute significantly to the safety and stability of UPS operations, making them an indispensable component in modern power supply solutions.
