UPS Masterclass for Critical Facilities & Facility Managers

"Master UPS Design, Operation & Maintenance with 20+ Years of Real Facilities Management Experience"
What you'll learn
Design and size a UPS system correctly based on load analysis, redundancy, runtime, and real facility requirements.
Understand UPS topologies, components, and operating modes to select the right solution for data centers, banks, hospitals, and offices.
Evaluate battery technologies (VRLA, Lithium-ion, Flooded) and perform practical battery sizing, testing, and lifecycle planning.
Identify common UPS failures, alarms, and power quality issues, and apply structured troubleshooting and root cause analysis methods.
Manage UPS installation, commissioning, load testing, and maintenance using industry best practices and checklists.
Understand UPS interaction with diesel generators, harmonics, efficiency curves, and real-world operational challenges.
Requirements
Basic understanding of electrical systems used in buildings or facilities is helpful but not mandatory Familiarity with diesel generators, power distribution, or facility operations is an advantage No prior UPS design experience is required - concepts are explained from fundamentals to advanced level A willingness to learn practical, real-world UPS operation and troubleshooting scenarios Engineers, facility managers, and technicians will benefit most from this course
Description
Stop treating UPS as "plug and forget" backup equipment. Master the technical fundamentals and practical decision-making skills that separate amateur facilities management from professional critical infrastructure protection.Why This Course Exists:Most UPS courses teach theory. This course teaches reality-the lessons learned from 20+ years managing critical power across Fortune 500 companies, data centers, and manufacturing facilities. You'll understand not just HOW UPS works, but WHY design decisions matter, WHERE failures actually occur, and WHAT to demand from vendors.What You'll Masterower Fundamentals: Move beyond "backup power" myths to understand UPS as 24/7 power conditioners solving voltage sags, harmonics, and frequency variations that happen every day.Topology Selection: Decode offline, line-interactive, and online double conversion architectures. Understand why transfer time kills IT equipment and when each topology is appropriate (or dangerous).Power Electronics: Master diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs-the semiconductors that make UPS possible. Understand how 15,000 switches per second create pure sine waves through PWM.Component Deep Dive: Learn rectifier harmonics, inverter thermal stress, bypass transfer logic, and control systems. Discover why capacitors and fans cause most failures while vendors check voltage.Ratings Decoded: Finally understand kVA vs kW through power triangle fundamentals. Expose why "99% efficiency" is marketing fiction and avoid the 5 critical sizing mistakes that cause day-one failures.Battery Mastery: Compare VRLA, flooded, and lithium-ion technologies. Calculate runtime with real derating factors, understand float vs boost charging, implement proper testing protocols, and plan replacement budgets.Who Should Take This Course:Facilities Managers responsible for critical infrastructure, Electrical Engineers designing or maintaining UPS systems, Data Center Engineers managing power infrastructure, Maintenance Managers overseeing UPS operations, anyone interviewing for senior FM/engineering roles requiring UPS knowledge.What Makes This Different:Zero vendor marketing-only real failure modes and prevention strategies. Practical decision frameworks, not just technical specifications. Real sizing examples with actual mistakes exposed. Clear explanations of complex topics without oversimplification. Focused on what FMs actually need to know to protect infrastructure and career.By Course End, You Will:✓ Understand HOW UPS actually works at component level ✓ Interpret ratings correctly and avoid specification traps ✓ Make informed decisions on sizing, maintenance, and replacement ✓ Know what questions to ask vendors and what red flags to watch ✓ Confidently manage UPS systems from 10kVA to 500kVA+ ✓ Reduce downtime through better operational understandingThis is practical knowledge from real facilities-not theoretical textbook content.Instructor: Uday Musmade | 20+ Years Facilities Management Experience | Worked at Morgan Stanley & Flipkart
