UPS system training explains how power supply systems are selected and operated to protect critical loads. The course covers UPS topologies, power quality, system integration, grounding, bypass operation, alarms, and reliability.
This 12-hour technical course begins with a discussion of the need for UPS systems. It then covers the relative comparisons between various UPS topologies and their modes of operation.
This instructor-led UPS System Training course provides a comprehensive understanding of how uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are designed, selected, installed, and operated in industrial, commercial, and institutional electrical environments. The course focuses on the role UPS systems play in maintaining power continuity, power quality, and equipment protection for critical loads.
Participants learn how UPS systems function at the system level, including rectifiers, inverters, static and maintenance bypass systems, control logic, monitoring, alarms, and operating modes. The course explains how UPS systems interact with electrical distribution systems, generators, grounding and bonding networks, and sensitive electronic loads.
Rather than focusing on battery testing or maintenance procedures, this course emphasizes UPS system architecture, application, sizing principles, power quality considerations, operational behavior, and common failure modes. Participants will gain the knowledge needed to select appropriate UPS solutions, understand system performance limitations, recognize abnormal operating conditions, and make informed decisions when specifying, commissioning, or managing UPS installations.
This course is ideal for electrical engineers, technicians, electricians, facility managers, and maintenance personnel responsible for the design, operation, or oversight of UPS systems. Detailed battery testing and maintenance procedures are covered separately in the UPS Battery Testing and Maintenance course.
