Climate Control Limited (CCL) is the Authorized Distributor for OPTI-UPS in Trinidad and Tobago, and the Caribbean since January 2007. We have been supplying and installing single and triple phase equipment for the last 10 years. OPTI-UPS became ISO 9002 certificated for UPS Products as well as Switching Power Supplies (SPS) Products.

An OPTI-UPS is an advanced uninterruptible power system (UPS) consisting of a battery source, a converter, and control equipment. It is designed to prevent spikes, surges, sags, transients and blackout from reaching your equipment. When AC power is present, the UPS filters small fluctuations continuously. When AC power fails, the unit employs its internal maintenance-free battery to supply back-up power without interruption.

There are actually many different types of UPS systems, some of which cannot be categorized into either the standby or on-line types. Almost any UPS fits into one of the following 3 categories:

Standby UPS (Offline) - The AC line is the primary power source. The battery/inverter circuitry supplies the load in case of a power failure for fluctuation. Any drop in the voltage or current is detected by the UPS, which automatically switches the battery into the circuit, cutting of the main power line-thus allowing the battery to supply the required power. The transfer time should not take more than 4 milliseconds, as this is the tolerance limit of a typical computer power unit.

On-line UPS - This UPS operates with the inverter as the primary power source supplying the load and therefore there is no transfer time in case of power failure. This type of ‘on-line power eliminates any interruptions in the flow of electricity. And since it uses more electronic wizardry than offline UPS, it is priced higher. Besides the high price, on-line UPS also have the disadvantage of high running costs and temperature. Since the battery acts as the primary power source to the system, an on-line UPS battery charger has to be powerful enough to generate enough power to compensate for the battery’s power drain. This conversion from AC mains to DC for the battery and back to AC through the inverter results in a 25-to 30-percent power loss. The heat generated as a consequence of the power loss shortens the life of electrical components and reduces battery life.

Line-Interactive UPS - This is the topology used by the OPTI-UPS ES & PS series. The AC line power is the primary source and is being constantly filtered. In case of a brownout condition the automatic voltage regulation circuitry is activated to correct the problem. The battery and inverter circuitry supplies the backup power in case of a blackout.
