With this type of UPS,
the AC mains is the primary power source where any drop in voltage
or battery current is automatically detected by the UPS, which
switches over to the backup battery automatically. When AC power
is restored, the UPS switches back to pas filtered mains and then
recharges the battery.
The inverter is not connected in series with the AC mains, but
rather in parallel configuration. There is transfer time
associated with this changeover which is typically around four to
ten milliseconds, which most computers switch mode power supply
unit will not see this break.
Standby UPS often include a filter component, although this is
more suited to EMI/RF, and surge protection provided through
simple PCB Board mounted ow kA rated MOV components. This surge
protection/ filtering is very ineffective at dealing with
lightning transients which represent the greatest risk to
connected equipment.
Note! Be aware that proper fit for purpose surge protection should
be rated min Cat C (6 kV, 20 kA @8/20us), and should include a
suitably tuned inductor component which can slow down the rate of
voltage and current rise from reaching the connected equipment.
Do not confuse simple MOV and RF Filter as providing a good level
of surge protection.!!
You want to pay for cheap, you get cheap! Always remember that
here is always a good reason why something is cheap, and generally
there is a trade off in performance.
