Overloading the battery

Make sure to disconnect devices that heavily consume energy to run. Keep the connections limited to gadgets and appliances, that you feel you really can’t do without. By cutting off the extra load, you will see a significant increase in the back up of the Home UPS battery.

Switch to power saving lights and fans

Use energy efficient fans and lights to cut down the power consumption. Low power consumption means less burden on the battery and more saving in electricity. For instance, a normal bulb consumes significantly higher energy in comparison to a CFL. Also, do not miss to have a look at our range of fan with integrated LED lights.

Make Sure Battery Is Fully Charged

It is vital to charge the Home UPS battery effectively. After installing the battery, make sure to check it’s fully charged. If there are no power cuts, do plug off the battery and after that recharge it again.

Water Level

Every 40 days, make sure to check the water level. Ensure that the water level is maintained between the maximum and minimum water limit. Continuously top up the battery with refined water. Try not to utilize tap water or rain water as it contains minerals and contaminations which can affect the life and performance of the battery.

Check for corrosion

Keep the battery terminals rust free. Rusting can significantly hamper the battery performance. Corrosion in terminals alters the flow of power to and fro from the battery. This limited stream of current results in moderate battery charging which at last diminishes battery life and in the end impacts your Home UPS's performance. On the off chance that the terminals get eroded pour boiling water on the affected zone or use a toothbrush for cleaning. This exercise will wipe the corrosion. Once the terminals are clean, apply some oil on to the terminals, nuts and bolts to avoid future corrosion.

Running heavy applications like office equipment, powering petrol pumps, banks, small to large businesses or running heavy machines like AC, Refrigerators, Cold Storages etc., the requirement of uninterrupted power supply is of paramount importance. Till a few years back, Gensets were the main power back up source for high load applications.This is not the case anymore, with advancement in Inverter technology, Inverters now offer unparalleled advantages when compared to Gensets.

New generation inverters offer uninterrupted supply and incur very low running costs, unlike Gensets. Also, unlike Diesel Gensets which have to run as per full load conditions thereby resulting in substantial fuel expenses, Inverters can run on partial load. Running generators on partial load reduces the efficiency of generators which results in higher consumption of fuel as well as reduced life of generator whereas Inverters operate with same efficiency at all load settings and, in fact, provide higher back-up time at partial loads.

Diesel gensets are also known to emit hazardous smoke resulting into the rise in pollution level. As a step to control the pollution levels, The Environment Pollution Control Authority, India, has banned the use of Diesel generators in Delhi barring NCR –in an order passed in 2017 when the national capital’s ambient air dipped to poor levels. The Hon’ Supreme Court mandated the ban. Inverters on the other hand are more eco-friendly and produce no hazardous smoke, while efficiently powering high load applications. All the more reason to prefer inverters over diesel gensets!

To provide power backup to a multistory buildings, commercial establishments and industrial facilities with higher power requirements, Luminous offers the widest 3 phase inverter range with load handling capacity from 5KVA to 100KVA. Luminous has been a preferred choice of customers such as commercial establishments like offices, showrooms, shopping malls, hospitals, lifts, hotels, schools, labs, petrol pumps, banks, telecom towers, ATMs and BPOs etc.
