Industry Price  List of Uninterruptible Power Supply  (UPS)  
System Devices
Here we present  May 2009 study results, of average North American UPS market prices.
Industry  prices  were derived by  investigation individual supplier prices, and filtering the results
by a  weighting factor, representing suppliers market share.
Prices include standard batteries ensuring minimum 4-5 minutes backup time at full load, and do
not include shipment, installation, taxes or any special options.
The presented prices refer to North American voltages. European and other Voltage systems  are
generally higher by 15 to 20 %.

advantages, see the guide

Off Line UPS Systems
Off line UPS, called also Backup or Standby, in normal operation feeds the load from the
Electric utility. Upon power outage it switches to battery operation, feeding the consumers
from  internal battery for limited backup time, sufficient to override most power outages.
Should the outage extend beyond battery backup time, an alarm is initiated to allow  graceful
computer shut down.
This type of UPS is generally used for personal computers and home office computer systems.

Line Interactive UPS  Systems
The Line interactive UPS,  like the Off-Line system, also feeds the load in normal operation  
from the utility mains. These units however, are  equipped with an Automatic Voltage Regulator
(AVR) circuit,  which adjusts the output voltage to within load safe levels. Thus, allowing
the consumer to continue operation, in case of  under or over voltage deviations on the incoming
utility line. These systems are generally provided with shut down software to turn-off
automatically the connected computers when power outage extends beyond battery backup time.
This UPS provides a cost effective solution for small and medium  businesses, that use
computer equipment that can generally be satisfied with 5 to10 minutes battery backup time.

The presented prices refer to systems with sinusoidal output waveform even on battery
operation. These cost significantly more, but should be preferred for professional applications.

On Line UPS Systems
The online UPS , also called Double Conversion UPS, feeds the load constantly  from an
internal Inverter which derives its power from mains in normal operation and from batteries
upon power outage. The output of the inverter provides conditioned stabilized power to the
load, isolating it from any voltage excursions, transients and surge phenomena associated with
the utility power line.
UPS systems up to 30KVA are equipped with  internal batteries for backup times of about 5 to
10 minutes. Most online systems allow extending battery backup time to several hours by
connecting external battery banks.
The online UPS systems provide a professional solution for all commercial and industrial
applications, additional features such as static transfer switch and parallel operation enhance
power reliability for critical applications and enable future power expansion to meet  growing  
power demand.
