Standby power - Complement UPS power protection
As UK power grid conditions give rise to extended power outages, long term generator autonomy is becoming an essential complement to the UPS's ‘no break' power protection capability. Uninterruptible Power Supplies generator manager, Kevin Ashton, considers how to match a generator to the onsite UPS, critical load and environmental conditions
