Modern homes depend on clean, reliable power more than ever. Televisions, projectors, AV receivers, control systems, networking equipment, security devices and smart home products all rely on sensitive electronics. When power quality is poor, the effects are not always obvious right away. A system may still turn on and appear undamaged; however, behind the scenes, […]

Modern AV systems are more sophisticated than ever. A 4K or 8K TV, digital projector, AV receiver, streaming media player, subwoofer, gaming console and networked control system may all be part of the same entertainment setup. Each component depends on clean, stable power to perform properly. Yet many systems are still powered by the cheapest […]

As we’ve discussed in previous articles, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are rapidly gaining popularity with UPS manufacturers due to their long life, low maintenance and ecological benefits. Not to be confused with traditional lithium-ion which consistently makes the news due to overheating and fire risk, lithium iron phosphate technology is safe and stable even […]

An uninterruptible power supply, or UPS, is a critical component for audio-visual, security, networking and broadband installations. UPSs provide backup power when the main power source fails, they condition incoming power from surges and voltage fluctuations, and they optimize power output signals to perform within intended specifications. In essence, UPSs ensure devices operate properly and […]

Many decisions go into choosing the proper uninterruptible power supply (UPS): power requirements, runtime, battery technology, physical size, installation location, efficiency, environmental impact, etc. We’ve covered many of these topics in previous power articles. However, there is one basic question that often gets overlooked: should you install a conventional UPS or a modular UPS? This […]

Choosing the proper uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is more than just features and battery type: a critical first step is understanding the total load, or the power requirement of all the devices that will be connected to the UPS, and the desired protection time for the total load. If you choose a UPS with […]
