Dual power supply application overview

A dual power supply system is a power supply solution that uses two independent power supplies (usually grid power) to provide power to ensure that if one power supply fails, the other power supply can immediately take over the power supply, thus guaranteeing continuous operation of the system. This design is particularly suitable for occasions where the stability of the power supply is required. The following is the specific application of the dual power system in different application scenarios:

Critical equipment

  • Data center: During data center upgrades and expansions, dual power systems are used to ensure that data processing is not affected in the event of power failure. For example, a data center uses a dual power system to enhance the reliability of its system.

  • Medical equipment: Medical equipment such as diagnosis and treatment tables, electrocardiograph, etc., in order to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and reduce the risk of equipment downtime, the dual power supply system is often used.

  • Mines: In places with high fire safety requirements such as mines, the stability of the dual power supply can effectively improve the reliability of key facilities such as lava acid chambers.

Communication system

  • Base station: In the communication system, the dual power supply is widely used in the power protection of the base station to prevent the power failure leading to communication interruption and reduce economic losses.

  • Data centers: Also in data centers, dual power systems can improve the reliability and stability of critical equipment and ensure the continuity of data processing.

Electric power system

Power reliability: With the expansion of the scale of the grid and the increase of the load, the dual power supply system can improve the power supply capacity and operation level of the power system, and ensure the reliability and stability of the power supply.

Safety system

Fire protection system: Automatic transfer switchgear (ATS) is often used for dual power supply of critical loads such as fire protection to ensure uninterrupted power supply in emergency situations.

Other applications

  • Elevators, fire protection, monitoring: These systems often rely on dual power automatic switches to ensure that backup power can be immediately put to work in the event of a primary power failure.

  • Lighting systems: Dual power supplies are also commonly used in lighting systems that require high reliability.

Conclusion

Dual power system is widely used and important, especially in the critical infrastructure and high-tech fields, it provides a double guarantee of power supply, significantly improving the reliability and stability of the system. With the development of technology, dual power systems are playing an indispensable role in more fields.
