Kriteriji za izbiro kakovostnih in zanesljivih UPS-ov v bolnišnicah
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) management is one of the important factors in hospitals. With the help of UPSes, vital and critical electrical devices (especially in operating rooms and intensive care units) are not left without power in the event of a power outage. Therefore, when choosing these devices, it is important that they work reliably and that they have the longest possible period of operation. The article describes important criteria in the selection of UPS devices that affect the reliability of operation, which is especially important when updating equipment. The most important standards and methods for evaluating the reliability of operation and the calculation of MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) in the case of UPS are presented, which indicate when the equipment needs to be replaced. As a result, the reliable functions of the UPS at three operating temperatures are given. We also calculated the values of the reliability function, where we checked the different qualities of the installed elements at two different operating temperatures.
