Analysis of Five Types of UPS Alarm Sounds
When UPS power supplies operate in a 220V~380V voltage environment, equipment alarm sounds often confuse users. Below are the causes and handling suggestions for different alarm sounds:
1. Continuous Noise Types
- Abnormal cooling fan noise: High-power UPS units have built-in cooling systems with noise ≤55 decibels for new equipment. If abnormal noise increase is detected, immediately clean dust accumulation on the fan blades and dust filter (quarterly cleaning recommended)
- Power frequency transformer resonance: The 50Hz alternating current sound generated during battery charging is a normal phenomenon, which can be mitigated by installing shock pads under the equipment
2. Regular Prompt Tones
- Single "beep" sound: Standard feedback tone for successful equipment startup/shutdown
- 5-second interval alarm: Indicates entering battery power supply mode; check if mains power is interrupted or voltage is below 176V
3. Emergency Alarm Sounds
- Irregular abnormal noise: Accompanied by abnormal equipment heating (>60℃), may indicate capacitor or circuit failure
- Continuous rapid alarm: Automatic shutdown warning when battery power is remaining <15%; immediately save data
