UPS Topologies

Choosing the Right Protection Level

UPS systems are classified by three topologies — each with different protection levels, transfer times, and ideal applications.

🔌

Offline / Standby

Basic

Lowest cost. Load runs on direct mains until failure — then switches to battery. 8–15ms transfer time. Suitable for basic PC protection only.

Line Interactive

Server Room

AVR corrects brownouts without battery. Pure sine wave on battery. 4–6ms transfer. Ideal for server rooms and network cabinets. APC Smart-UPS SMT.

RECOMMENDED
🔄

Online Double-Conversion

Mission Critical

Load always powered through inverter — zero transfer time, complete mains isolation, no power quality events ever reach connected equipment. APC Smart-UPS Ultra, Galaxy VX.
