Power Protection for Different Needs
Passive standby topology (off-line) is the most frequently 
used UPS topology for protecting PCs against power failure, 
power sag and power surge. In normal mode, the UPS supplies 
power to the application directly from the mains, filtered but 
without active conversion. The battery is charged from the 
mains. In the event of a power cut or fluctuation, the UPS 
delivers stable power from the battery. The advantages of this 
topology are low cost and adequacy for office environments. 
Passive standby topology is not suitable if the power supply is 
of low quality (industrial sites) or subject to frequent disruptions.
There are nine common types of power problems, including power failure, power sag, 
power surge, undervoltage, overvoltage, switching transient, line noise, frequency variation 
and harmonic distortion. Based on three UPS topologies, Eaton offers a wide range of 
UPS solutions to provide an appropriate level of power protection against different power 
problems and failures. 
Line interactive topology is used for protecting enterprise 
networks and IT applications against power failure, power sag, 
power surge, undervoltage and overvoltage. In normal mode, 
the device is controlled by a microprocessor that monitors the 
quality of the supply and reacts to fluctuations. A voltage 
compensation circuit is enabled to boost or reduce the supply 
voltage to compensate for the fluctuations. The main advantage 
of this topology is that it enables compensation of under and 
overvoltage without using the batteries.
Double conversion topology (on-line) is a basis for UPSs 
designed for continuous power protection of critical equipment 
against all nine power problems: power failure, power sag, power 
surge, undervoltage, overvoltage, switching transient, line noise, 
frequency variation and harmonic distortion. It ensures a 
consistent quality of power supply regardless of disturbances in 
the incoming mains. The output voltage is entirely regenerated by 
a sequence of AC to DC conversion followed by DC to AC 
conversion in order to create power supply without any electrical 
interference. Double conversion UPSs can be used with any type 
of equipment as there are no transients when changing over to 
battery power.
