6 FAQs about Fire protection uninterruptible power supply

Do uninterruptible power supply systems work in an emergency?

In an emergency, every second counts. Fire safety systems such as sprinklers and smoke extract-vent systems are vital to protecting lives and property. But these systems are only effective if they remain operational when they're needed the most – during a power failure. That's where uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems come into play.

What is a fire safety UPS system?

A UPS system acts as a bridge, providing a continuous power supply to critical fire safety equipment during power outages. In doing so, it ensures that systems such as fire sprinklers and smoke extract-vent systems remain functional until the primary power source is restored, or an alternative backup generator comes online.

What is a firefighting power supply?

Firefighting power supplies serve as dedicated emergency backup sources for critical building systems that protect life during a fire or other emergency. In high-rise residential and commercial buildings, these backup power systems are fundamental to safeguarding occupants and assisting firefighters.

What is a no-break power supply (UPS)?

For less power-intensive needs or for instantaneous switchover, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) or central battery systems (complying with EN 50171) may also be used to provide no-break power.

What are the benefits of ups for fire safety?

The primary benefit of optimising UPS systems for fire safety is the enhanced protection of lives. By ensuring that fire sprinkler and smoke extract-vent systems remain operational during an emergency, a UPS system provides the critical backup needed to minimise injury and facilitate safe evacuation.

Do you need a backup power supply for a sprinkler system?

A three-phase online UPS system. A packaged fire pump set for higher flow residential sprinkler systems. One of the key updates in the 2021 version of BS 9251 (The standard for residential and domestic fire sprinkler systems) is the concept of 'enhanced supply', which stipulates the need for a backup power supply for the sprinkler pump system.
