Uninterruptible Power Supplies and Battery Systems

Standby power is the system nobody tests until they need it, and a battery that has quietly failed is indistinguishable from one that works until the supply goes. This course covers making that system dependable. Delegates work through uninterruptible supply topologies and the protection each actually provides, battery chemistries and their ageing behaviour, sizing for a defined load and autonomy, and the charging and thermal management that determine service life. Testing and monitoring cover impedance measurement, capacity discharge testing and the interpretation of both. The course closes on maintenance regimes, failure modes and replacement planning, with attention to the heavy duty cycles imposed by frequent grid interruption across the region.
