Capacitors are an integral part of any uninterruptible power system (UPS). Responsible for smoothing, filtering and storing energy, these UPS components are fundamental to the overall health of your UPS. However, much like batteries, capacitors degrade over time and because of this, represent a common point of failure in uninterruptible power supplies. Understanding the factors […]

UPS Capacitor Replacement: When, Why, How? (Video)
While much attention has been given to the importance of regularly replacing uninterruptible power system (UPS) batteries, there is also a lesser-known, often-overlooked component that cannot be ignored: the capacitors. After batteries, capacitors rank among the most common UPS elements susceptible to failure. Proactive attention to these components can extend the life of the UPS […]
