A UPS can “bridge the gap” until a backup generator is started. 
Hopefully, you have a current, well maintained Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that will protect critical loads from spikes, voltage dips, fluctuation and power failures.  A UPS can “bridge the gap” until a backup generator is started. 
 

Maintenance and testing must be performed regularly to protect critical systems and keep them operating reliably.  Simply providing a UPS does not protect your facility from power supply fluctuations. 
​
Information about Preventive Maintenance (PM)
Regularly scheduled PM is required to protect your emergency power systems.  (Annual, Semi-annual, or Quarterly) 
Does your system require a Minor PM or a Major PM?  What is the difference?  Below is a short description for the tasks Power Up LLC does during each type of visit.
​
Minor PM Scope:
    Visual Inspection: 
  • Inspect overall unit operation 
  • Inspect display function 
  • Inspect alarm history 
  • Inspect cooling fans  
    Measure, check, record, and adjust if necessary: 
  • Input voltages and currents 
  • DC voltage and current 
  • AC ripple voltage and current 
  • Output voltages and currents 
  • Breakers 
  • Check and replace all filters (as required) 
  • Perform complete thermal scan of all possible electrical connections 
  • Remove all foreign debris from equipment compartments, where applicable 
  • Check and record room ambient temperature and verify proper operation of ventilation equipment 
​Major PM Scope:  -Includes everything that is included in the Minor PM plus more.
    Visual Inspection: 
  • Inspect overall unit operation 
  • Inspect display function 
  • Inspect alarm history 
  • Inspect cooling fans  ​
  • Clean and inspect all logic cards 
  • Inspect all connectors 
  • Inspect major components 
  • Inspect cables and wiring harnesses 
  • Verify that all diagnostic tests function properly 
  • Verify all protection settings 
    Measure, check, record, and adjust if necessary:
  • Input voltages and currents 
  • DC voltage and current 
  • AC ripple voltage and current 
  • Output voltages and currents 
  • Breakers 
  • Check and replace all filters (as required) 
  • Perform complete thermal scan of all possible electrical connections 
  • Remove all foreign debris from equipment compartments, where applicable 
  • Check and record room ambient temperature and verify proper operation of ventilation equipment 
  • All power supply voltages 
  • Check and verify manual transfers from UPS system to normal bypass and from normal bypass to UPS system 
  • Check all primary and secondary circuits for proper torque 
  • Check all electrical connections for proper torque and general condition 
  • Check all system level alarms 
  • Check power capacitors for swelling and leaking oil 
  • Check and verify automatic transfers 
  • Check inverter and rectifier snubbers for burned or broken wires
