With stricter restrictions on generators, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are emerging as the key backup power source for critical building systems. This live CPD webinar hosted by CIBSE explores the growing importance of UPS systems in ensuring life safety during power outages by providing a reliable power source to systems including evacuation lifts and emergency lighting; smoke extraction and fire suppression; security and access; building management; alarms and controls. The presentation will…
- Outline the regulations and standards governing UPS systems for life safety applications.
- Identify the advantages of UPS systems as a secondary power source compared to generators.
- Describe how load type influences UPS system selection.
- Explore how UPS systems react differently to faults in life safety applications.
- Provide insights into proper battery selection for UPS systems.
- Examine strategies for designing UPS systems for easy installation and maintenance.
- Highlight the attributes to look out for when seeking a reliable UPS supplier and compliant installations.
The webinar will conclude with some real-world examples of successful and compliant UPS installations.
