Healthcare facilities need a reliable power supply to run numerous critical medical equipment such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computerized Tomography (CT) scanners, X-rays, ultrasounds, and imaging devices because power problems may cause operational or image quality issues with CT scanners, for example. Under most circumstances, losing power in a hospital may be the difference between life and death. That's why medical UPS is necessary.

Medical UPS Systems are designed to provide clean uninterrupted power precisely for the sensitive medical device. A high-quality medical UPS can prevent your medical equipment from outages, voltage drops/spikes, and other power issues. It is an essential safeguard against many potential energy issues.

How to choose reliable ups solutions for the hospital? Here are some key features of good medical ups.

1. Wide input voltage and high power factor. 

UPS with wide input voltage can protect the products by converting different voltage inputs to meet the one as required. However, an low power factor inefficient UPS system can result in equipment overloads, overheating and shorter service life. So choose a high power factor medical UPS for your device.

2. Adaptability to various loads.   

This does not refer to conventional indicators such as voltage stability, frequency stability, dynamic response but to special load configuration. Check whether the UPS can operate normally with the specific load. For example, it is recommended to use industrial UPS for the industrial load and inductive equipment while you can use a commercial online ups for sever or pc of your hospital.

3. Flexibility and redundancy    

It is important to have a redundancy design to ensure that an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is available even if another UPS is failed. You can add some UPS in order to meet the capacity and redundancy requirement of the application load.
