Proposta para teste de desempenho de sistemas de alimentação de potência ininterrupta

Abstract

The proposed standard by ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas) about performance tests in UPS (Uninterrupted power supply) is the EB 2175 Semiconductor converter standard,. However it doesn’t define completely test conditions, which must be applied, and in some cases, the limit values aren’t defined. Then, to be evaluated in specialized laboratories, the test conditions, in the lack of specification must be based on national or international standards. According to this, this work tends to indicate which are the limits and test conditions suggested in other standards, so that to guarantee results reproduction in different laboratories. Otherwise, the performance test’s comparison from different manufacturers must be performed under the same conditions. In this way they are discussed initially, the ones defined by EB 2175 standard, indicating the limit values to the necessary test’s conditions and performances. After that, other standards were used to define the equipment performance. After discussing which tests should be performed, it is proposed a total UPS test, showing which equipment can be used, how they were interconnected and the result was compared to the performance limit values, proposed by the shown standards.
