UPS Battery Testing Service – Ensuring A Reliable Power Supply
At PWM Power, we understand the critical role that batteries play in UPS systems, providing backup power when it is needed most. To proactively maintain battery performance and prevent failure, we offer comprehensive UPS battery testing services.
Our skilled technicians utilise battery impedance testing techniques to assess battery health and identify potential weaknesses, allowing you to take proactive measures.
Our non-intrusive impedance testing method is an effective way to identify early signs of weakness or deterioration in individual battery cells. Using probes attached to the block terminals, an AC is applied to each battery, and the internal impedance is measured and recorded in milliohms. This process allows us to assess the overall condition of the batteries without placing undue stress on their functionality.
As part of a regular UPS maintenance programme:
Regularly measuring the internal resistance of batteries is essential for effective maintenance. Over time, the internal resistance gradually increases as a result of rust and corrosion within the electrodes. This decrease in chemical reaction efficiency can impact battery performance. By monitoring and measuring internal resistance, we can detect and eliminate degraded batteries, ensuring optimal system reliability.
Proactive Battery Replacement:
Regular impedance testing, typically performed every 6 to 12 months, enables us to establish a comprehensive history of each cell’s internal condition. By comparing batteries and accurately predicting their end-of-working-life, we can calculate when proactive replacement is necessary, ensuring a continuous and reliable power supply.
Detailed Analysis and Load Bank Testing:
While impedance testing provides a broad indication of battery condition, for a more in-depth analysis, we offer intrusive testing methods like load bank testing. Load bank testing allows for a thorough assessment of battery performance under simulated conditions, providing valuable insights into their capacity and functionality.
At PWM Power, we prioritise the reliability and longevity of your UPS system’s batteries. Our expert technicians leverage their knowledge and testing techniques to evaluate battery health, detect potential issues, and recommend appropriate actions.
