Installation of backup power systems

Turning off the light is a fairly common problem that Ukrainians have been facing recently. Therefore, the issue of arranging special power systems that ensure uninterrupted power supply to all equipment is becoming extremely relevant. In addition, such systems make it possible to monitor the general condition of the power grid and ensure the operation of a charging station for batteries. Installation of backup power systems (UPS) at facilities of any type is offered by RBC ALBA LLC, which has all the resources necessary for such work.

What is a backup power system for a home?

In terms of operating characteristics, there are three options for such systems, each of which is optimally suited for a specific object. For private houses, summer cottages, cottages, etc., it is recommended to choose a generator that runs on gasoline, gas or diesel. It can be used as the main or backup source of electricity, producing single- or three-phase alternating current.

A generator whose engine runs on gasoline produces a small amount of electricity, so it can operate for a limited amount of time. Separately, autonomous devices are distinguished that have a water or air cooling system. Diesel models are more powerful and can work much longer. The backup power supply of the house includes an automatic cooling system and a synchronous or asynchronous generator.

Solar panels are another option for backup power supply that can be used in the private sector. Their installation requires the presence of photovoltaic modules, a charge controller, a UPS voltage stabilizer, a storage battery, a switching relay, as well as special mounts.

Backup power system for an apartment: main types

To provide apartments with uninterrupted power supply, inverters and batteries are best suited. Similar backup power systems are recommended for the office.

Inverters are offered to users in a wide variety of models. Devices for backup power supply of an apartment with a sine wave at the output provide the supply of high-quality electricity with stable voltage. A hybrid inverter requires the selection of a LiFePO4 battery, which provides for the principle of cyclic energy accumulation to provide autonomous power supply.

Before installing backup power systems for an office or apartment, it is necessary to correctly calculate the energy consumption. The number of operating devices in the room must be determined and the duration of autonomous operation is calculated.

Turnkey backup power installation

Specialists of LLC "RBK ALBA" perform a phased installation of the equipment necessary for the high-quality operation of the backup power system. The elements must be located in a dry, well-ventilated room. To ensure proper integration, the connection is made via ATS - automatic input of the reserve, or through an uninterruptible power supply panel. This prevents the supply of current from the inverter back to the city network when it appears.

The main stages of installation work will be as follows:

• Load calculation. A list of all important technical equipment is drawn up - a reserve for the boiler, refrigerator, reserve for lighting, etc. is determined, and the starting power is calculated. Also at this stage, the battery capacity is determined.
• Design. The optimal equipment is selected, a connection diagram is drawn up - the entire house, electrical points are allocated, phase reserve, etc.
• Equipment installation. Installation of equipment according to the diagram, arrangement of the electrical panel, assembly of racks for batteries, laying of power cables.
• Switching. Connection of a backup line to a common or separate distribution board via an automatic transfer switch.

Before handing over the facility to the customer, commissioning work is carried out. Testing is carried out in the mode of simulating a power outage. Specialists check the time of automatic switching of the system and the correct functioning of all connected devices.
