How Long Do Uninterruptible Power Supplies Last?
But, how long do they actually last? In this article, we''re going to look at the average lifespan of a UPS unit and its batteries, what factors can impact the lifespan, tell-tale
Beyond the batteries, other uninterruptible power supply components such as inverters, rectifiers, capacitors, and fans also have their own lifespans. Inverters and rectifiers can last for many years with proper maintenance, while capacitors and fans might need replacement every five to seven years.
With meticulous maintenance and an eye on steady operation, single-phase UPS systems can surpass even the average lifespan of a typical UPS, lasting up to an impressive 12 years. This statistic speaks volumes about the efficiency of these units, highlighting their robust design geared for longevity.
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) systems are central to ensuring the seamless operation of our tech-driven lives. Like all technology, they have a lifespan, contingent upon factors such as the system's build, model, environment, maintenance, and the like.
Because an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can represent a significant capital investment, it is Because an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can represent a significant capital investment, it is important to have a general idea of how many years that investment will last.
