INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM
What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)? An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is a type of continual power system that provides automated
EPS stands for Emergency Power Supply. Unlike UPS, an EPS is designed for situations where a brief interruption in power is acceptable. When the main grid power fails, the EPS system kicks in after a short delay—typically between 20 to 30 milliseconds —to restore power.
It's important to note that sensitive electronics like desktops or medical devices may still require a dedicated UPS system if uninterrupted power is absolutely essential. In an EPS-enabled solar generator like those from OUPES, the device remains plugged into a wall outlet or solar panel for charging.
In an EPS-enabled solar generator like those from OUPES, the device remains plugged into a wall outlet or solar panel for charging. You can simultaneously connect appliances to the AC output ports. In the event of a power outage, the unit's internal inverter switches from grid power to battery power. Here's a simplified overview of the process:
When the main grid power fails, the EPS system kicks in after a short delay—typically between 20 to 30 milliseconds —to restore power. This brief delay is usually not noticeable for non-sensitive appliances such as lights, fans, TVs, or small refrigerators.
