UPS installation for businesses and shops in Seville, Spain: uninterruptible power

UPS installation for businesses in Seville: so a power cut does not stop your work

A one-second power cut is enough to restart the server, lose a sale at the till, interrupt the camera recording or leave the shop shutter half down. A UPS (uninterruptible power supply, known in Spain as a SAI) keeps that equipment running without a break while the supply comes back, or for just long enough to shut it down safely.

We carry out UPS installation in offices, shops, clinics, bars and restaurants and warehouses in Seville, Spain, with its protected line from the fuse board and a tested start-up.

Which equipment is worth protecting with a UPS

• Servers and computers, where a sudden shutdown can corrupt data.
• Tills, card terminals and scales in shops and hospitality.
• Phone systems, routers and network equipment, so you do not lose the connection. If the network needs tidying too, see data cabling.
• Security recorders and cameras, so there are no gaps in the recording, as we explain in CCTV installation.
• Motorised shop shutters, so you can open or close without mains power.
• Medical and laboratory equipment that is sensitive to cuts.
• Access control and alarms.

Types of UPS

How we size it

1. Inventory of the equipment to be protected and its real consumption.
2. Autonomy required: minutes for an orderly shutdown or time to keep working.
3. Type of UPS according to how sensitive the equipment is.
4. Protected line from the fuse board, with its own protection, separate from the rest.
5. Orderly shutdown software for servers, when needed.
6. Real test of a cut and of the autonomy with the equipment connected.

UPS, generator and surge protector

These three kinds of protection complement each other:

• The UPS covers a cut instantly, for minutes.
• The generator covers long cuts, hours if necessary, but takes a few seconds to start: that is why, in critical installations, the UPS bridges that gap. We explain it on our generators page.
• The surge protector in the fuse board protects the whole installation from spikes caused by lightning and voltage surges, as we describe on surge protection.

Regulations

• UNE-EN 62040: the standard for uninterruptible power systems.
• ITC-BT-28: in premises open to the public, where backup supplies and emergency lighting have their own requirements.
• ITC-BT-40: when the UPS works alongside a generator or another generating source.

UPS maintenance

Batteries degrade with time and heat, and they tend to fail without warning. A UPS with worn-out batteries protects nothing. We recommend checking it as often as the manufacturer indicates, running autonomy tests and changing the batteries in time. We include this in industrial maintenance.

UPS systems for Seville businesses

In the offices and shops of the city centre, Nervión and Triana, the usual job is protecting the server, the network, the tills and the shutter. In clinics and laboratories, sensitive equipment. And in the warehouses and offices of Sevilla Este, Dos Hermanas, Mairena del Aljarafe or Alcalá de Guadaíra, servers, access control, cameras and machine controls that cannot stop halfway through. If your premises are being fitted out, we include it in the electrical installation for shops and offices.

How we work

1. Visit to see the equipment, the fuse board and where the UPS will go.
2. Calculation of power and autonomy.
3. Fixed quote covering the unit, the line and the installation.
4. Installation of the protected line and the UPS, outside working hours if needed.
5. Setting up the orderly shutdown and the alerts.
6. Cut test with the real equipment connected.
