Summary of analysis3.
Worse power supply quality occurs frequently at night (9 p.m. to 9 a.m.).1)
Worse power quality phenomena starts when the voltage dips.2)
Voltage swell occurs when switching from the commercial power to the UPS due to the
voltage dip.
3)
The voltage dip occurs when the commercial power recovers and the power supply is
switched from the UPS to the commercial supply.
4)
Countermeasures4.
Primary solution1)
Alternative solution2)
Frequent switching to the UPS because of a voltage dip is not favorable. It appears
that overload current flows to the equipment due to voltage dips and swells. To
solve this problem without fail, the power supply should be stabilized to prevent the
occurrence of a voltage dip.
The UPS is used as a "stand-by power system (SPS)." By changing it to an albeit
more costly "on-line UPS system", the dips and swells can be reduced during UPS
switching.
