Why does UPS need preventive maintenance?

An effective preventive maintenance plan can help enterprises focus on their core business. By using experienced service providers, enterprises can optimize resources, focus more on providing services for customers, and entrust ups to their service providers. The electrical system is a complex integrated system, and the daily maintenance is mainly to provide reliability for its key components - uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Maintenance can be arranged outside the time of the enterprise's core business, and any necessary replacement can be arranged in advance, and the appropriate agreement can be used first.

After the enterprise invests in the deployment of ups in the data center, the next step will be for technicians to back up their mission critical equipment through a reliable maintenance plan. After your UPS is up and running, your trend report can start. Every six months, the ups and the matched battery shall be tested to ensure the normal operation of the system and the latest version of the monitoring software. More importantly, the battery system of UPS is the key, which requires more monitoring and maintenance. According to the maintenance results, the organization can analyze and appropriately measure the expected working life of various components. Research shows that most interruptions in data centers are preventable. The maintenance plan of the organization shall not cause any problems beyond the system parameters considered by the manufacturer and shall be properly facilitated.

Five key factors to be considered in preventive maintenance

(1) Emergency plan

Emergency plan is the first task of preventive maintenance. Organizations need to work better with service providers to become part of the enterprise plan. This means that there are processes and procedures for each type of incident, including contingency plans.

(2) Forecast (maintenance) analysis

Predictive maintenance can extend the life cycle of various components (including batteries) in the ups. A report describing the health of the battery pack as a whole and the fan speed shall be included in the maintenance report.

(3) Regular maintenance / replacement cycle

An effective maintenance plan will describe service access in advance and provide sufficient time for the data center to notify the service provider. If replacement is required, service can be provided in the open maintenance window.

(4) Get help from UPS technicians

Knowledgeable and experienced ups technicians can provide more help, which is essential for the reliable operation of UPS equipment in the organization. Enterprises can obtain the training of UPS manufacturers and replace key spare parts in time.

(5) Maximize system uptime

The goal of UPS power supply system is to maximize the normal operation time of the system, which is easy to say and hard to do, which is the sum of the key factors of UPS system. The combination of emergency response time, predictive analysis, maintenance planning and skilled UPS technicians can maximize the reliability of the system and enable the organization to focus on its core business
