Almost every home and business relies on a steady and continuous electricity supply to function correctly. While any disruption to the supply causes inconvenience for domestic customers, it can be disastrous for businesses and public service providers, resulting in loss of revenue, interruption to essential services, and even a loss of life in extreme cases where critical infrastructure is affected.
One solution to this problem is to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) from Powervolt Team. Our UPS installation service will guide you through all the complications.
In simple terms, uninterruptible power supplies provide a backup power source during sudden power outages or voltage fluctuations. It safeguards sensitive equipment like computers and servers from data loss or damage by seamlessly switching to battery power, ensuring continuous operation until the primary power source is restored or the equipment is safely shut down. We cover this in full detail in our article entitled “what is an uninterruptible power supply?”.

At Powervolt Team, we understand that in the ever-changing realm of modern business, a consistent and reliable power supply is of paramount importance. An uninterruptible power supply provides a safeguard against the disruptive implications of power outages.
The following examples illustrate just how useful UPS units can be:
Business operations today predominantly hinge on electronic equipment and computer systems. Even the briefest power disruption can lead to expensive downtime, workflow disruptions, and data vulnerability. A UPS, with its instantaneous transition to battery power during power interruptions, ensures a seamless continuity of operations.
For businesses dealing with sensitive data, such as customer information or transaction records, power outages pose a very real threat to data integrity. A UPS guarantees the safe and correct storage of data during power disruptions, reducing the risk of data loss.
Unanticipated power surges or voltage fluctuations can inflict substantial damage on delicate electronic equipment. The UPS provides a stable power supply, protecting valuable devices such as servers, computers, and networking infrastructure against power surges and fluctuations.
Businesses situated in regions susceptible to recurrent power outages, whether due to the weather or infrastructure failures, benefit greatly from UPS. These systems offer a critical lifeline during emergencies, ensuring that the business continues to operate.
Downtime, however short, can result in major financial repercussions, lost productivity and potential damage to a business's reputation. A UPS can help to avoid such financial losses, preserving business continuity and reputation.
Certain sectors impose strict regulations concerning data security and business continuity. A UPS serves as a critical asset, helping businesses to operate within the regulations and guaranteeing the accessibility and security of sensitive data.
An uninterruptible power supply represents an indispensable investment for businesses that place a premium on uninterrupted operations, data security, and equipment preservation. By ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply during outages and voltage irregularities, a UPS upholds a business's productivity, financial resilience, and integrity. In the contemporary business landscape, UPS is not only a wise investment, but it's also an essential asset.
The process for installing new UPS systems varies according to the site and the equipment being installed, but it generally runs along these lines:
UPS installation must be undertaken by qualified professionals with experience in electrical installations, as this ensures the correct and safe deployment of the equipment to protect your critical systems during a power outage. The Powervolt Team team will ensure minimal disruption during your UPS installation and provide all the training and technical advice you need to get the most from your new system.
There are several UPS manufacturers out there making different types of UPS units. At Powervolt Team, we only work with the best UPS brands to guarantee optimum results.
While there are around six different UPS types, two are more commonly used in the UK, and your system is likely to be one of these:
While Line-Interactive and Online UPS are the most common in the UK, the choice of UPS depends on the specific needs and requirements of the business or application. Factors such as the type of equipment being protected, the budget, and the quality of power supply in the area all play a role in selecting the most suitable UPS system. Hybrid and Modular UPS systems are also gaining popularity as they offer flexibility and scalability, which can be advantageous for businesses with evolving needs.
Depending on the size and type of business, you might need a hardwired system or a standalone one (sometimes called plug-and-play). Here's a brief overview of the difference between the two:
A hardwired UPS is permanently integrated into a building's electrical infrastructure, providing seamless and reliable backup power by directly connecting to the electrical distribution panel or circuit. This makes them ideal for mission-critical applications in fixed locations.
In contrast, a standalone UPS is portable and designed for easy installation, relying on standard electrical outlets and power cords to supply backup power to specific devices or equipment. This makes them versatile, cost-effective, and suitable for smaller setups where mobility and simplicity of deployment are essential.

To choose the right size UPS for your company in the UK, you need to calculate the total power requirements of the devices you want to support, measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). It's important to consider both the immediate power needs and any potential future expansions. A professional assessment can help ensure you select a UPS with adequate capacity and scalability.
Generally, a UPS can be installed in most types of businesses and buildings in the UK, including offices, data centres, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites. However, the feasibility depends on factors like available space, electrical infrastructure, and environmental conditions. A site survey is usually conducted to assess suitability and identify any specific installation requirements.
Many UPS systems offer scalability and can be upgraded after installation to accommodate increased power requirements or enhanced functionality. This is particularly true for modular UPS systems, which are designed for easy expansion. However, the upgrade potential can vary depending on the initial design and capacity of the existing UPS system.
Yes, a UPS can be integrated with renewable energy sources such as solar panels in the UK. This integration can enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. It requires careful planning and design to ensure compatibility and optimal performance, and it's often implemented in conjunction with energy storage solutions like batteries to manage the intermittent nature of solar power.
