EPS (Emergency Power Supply) systems and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems serve similar functions but are designed for different purposes.
EPS systems typically provide backup power in emergency situations such as power outages, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events. They are commonly used in critical infrastructure facilities like hospitals, data centers, telecommunications facilities, and industrial plants to ensure uninterrupted power supply during emergencies.
UPS systems, on the other hand, provide backup power to critical equipment to prevent data loss, equipment damage, or downtime in the event of a power outage. They are commonly used with sensitive electronic equipment like computers, servers, networking devices, and telecommunications equipment.
While both EPS and UPS systems provide backup power, EPS systems are typically designed for larger-scale applications requiring longer runtime and higher reliability during emergencies, whereas UPS systems are often designed for smaller-scale applications with shorter runtime but faster switchover times to battery power.
In summary, while there is some overlap in functionality, EPS systems and UPS systems belong to different categories based on their intended use and design specifications.
