How does a UPS work?
Essentially, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device which is designed to protect against a loss of power which could disrupt or damage an electrical system. UPS systems act as a backup battery and will ensure that mission critical systems are safeguarded against costly damage, both in terms of equipment failure and downtime.
Electrical supplies can be affected by four main problems, all of which can be protected against by the correct UPS system:
- Power surges are sudden increases in power flowing through a device; often caused by lightning strikes, for example. A power surge is followed by a drop and it is this fall in power which causes the damage.
- A power outage is a complete disruption of power caused by a number of different reasons. Whatever the cause, the results can be extremely damaging; leading to a loss of data and system downtime.
- Over-voltage is what happens when the amount of power supplied is more than the amount of power required. An over-voltage can result in damage and overheating but unlike a power surge, this increased power supply is over a sustained period.
- Under-voltage, sometimes referred to as a ‘brown-out’, is what happens when the amount of power supplied is less than required. An under-voltage can happen for a number of different reasons including a problem with the grid or a sudden demand in power from other areas. The resulting lack of power flow results in damage and a loss of active data.
UPS systems are designed to provide a constant flow of power, providing the capability to prevent or handle the above problems if they arise. A UPS system will ensure the flow of power is moderated, whilst stepping in with charged batteries when there is complete disruption.

Case Studies of UPS Power Supply Installations in the UK
Our UPS power supply solutions have made a significant impact on various organisations across the UK. Here are two case studies that highlight our expertise and the benefits our UPS systems have brought to our clients.
Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
The Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust needed a reliable solution to ensure the continuous uptime of their IT systems, which are critical for delivering healthcare services to over 140,000 individuals. We provided them with the EcoStruxure IT Expert system, which has significantly improved the availability and uptime of their IT services. As Jas Purewal, IT Infrastructure Manager at the Trust, stated, “We’ve got this great tool now from a leading vendor and that gives us great peace of mind.”
University of Stirling
The University of Stirling, located in the heart of Scotland, faced challenges with power outages and brownouts that threatened the availability of IT services for their 10,000 students and 2,000 staff. We helped them replace their single-phase UPS, improving the power supply to their data centres. Alan Richardson, Infrastructure Development Manager at the University, praised our expertise, saying, “Right from the outset APT provided convincing responses…Our technical staff were quickly satisfied that APT knew what they were talking about.”
These case studies demonstrate our commitment to providing reliable UPS power supply solutions that meet the unique needs of businesses and organisations in the UK.
