Power from the national grid is sometimes unreliable since power outbreaks occur occasionally. The phenomenon of having power throughout and at all times is entirely invaluable. Uninterrupted power supply systems and generators ensure that power is available when needed and they are thus very important. For optimum and efficient service in the provision of power, these equipments need to be maintained and properly handled. The following are the importance of UPS and generator service. Electrical power can be very dangerous if not handled properly. It is always safe to ensure that the machines are grounded effectively to ensure the flow of excess electrons to the ground. Malfunctioning machines can cause harm not only to valuable property and information but can also pose life hazards to people. Acquisition of these equipments is very costly. Improper handling can cause very heavy losses to a business, organization or any individual owning them. The battery within the UPS is mostly a lead acid accumulator. Lead acid batteries need to be re-calibrated every six months for a good service while the battery replacement should be done after every three years. Depending on the type of generator, repairs and maintenance activities should be done according to the specifications in the user manual. There is however some situations that can warrant immediate repair of generators which include loud unusual noise, odd burning smell or periodic power fluctuations. If the equipment feels hotter than its usual temperature, this might indicate a problem with the fan and it should be replaced. Servicing can be provided by either the manufacturing company or qualified technicians in the field. Ensure that the technicians have experience with servicing similar types of equipments. Light maintenance activities like changing fuel and spark plugs can be done by the owner. Power losses translate to money losses in most business environments. It is thus prudent to make sure that the power supply equipments are maintained effectively and operational in order to provide good service. Extend your battery life by avoiding deep discharges and making sure they are not exposed to extreme cold and humidity.
