We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "UPS Systems",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Flywheel provides 'green' DC energy from
Chloride Power Protection, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Vycon V DC140 flywheel can be paralleled for higher power applications and offers the opportunity to replace lead-acid batteries".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release The true price of power supply harmonics from
Block UK: "Bob Liddle explains how to reduce the effects of harmonic distortion on power supply lines, thereby eliminating equipment failures and cutting production downtime, repair and replacement costs".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Crouzet
concerning its GN3 solid-state relays
- take a look at Relays tolerate industrial environments
which says: "Crouzet's new GN3 series three-phase and motor reversing solid-state relays suit a wide array of three-phase motor and heating applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Chloride Power Protection, Power systems keep particle accelerator running,
as well as Self-contained power source suits railways from Chloride Power Protection,
and Three-phase UPS systems lead European growth from Frost and Sullivan.
