10 - Power considerations
Surge protectors
Power conditioner/power-line conditioner (advanced surge protector able to remove or filter line noise)
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Double conversion
Take power in from the wall outlet, storing it in a battery, pulling power out of it
Line interactive
Has a surge protector, battery charger/inverter and voltage regulator positioned between the grid power source and the equipment
If the grid fails, there is a type of three-position witch that will automatically switch so that power is pulled from the battery through the inverter and voltage regulator to provide power to the equipment
May have a very short moment when power is interrupted
Large scale battery backup or a failover battery
Power issues
Fault: Momentary complete loss of power
Blackout: prolonged complete loss of power
Sag: Momentary low voltage
Brownout: Prolonged low voltage
Spike: momentary high voltage
Surge: prolonged high voltage
Inrush: an initial spike of power usually associated with connecting to a power source
Ground: the wire in an electrical circuit that provides an alternate pathway for electricity to flow safely to the earth
