With the growth of computer
and peripheral equipment in
businesses and homes over
the last 30 years the awareness
of the amount of energy these
devices use has also increased.
The power consumed by
desktop computers and
workstations for many years
was inefficient. One factor contributing to the inefficiency was the design
architecture of the power supplies. The power supply transforms AC power
from the wall to DC power used by computers. This voltage transformation
was relatively inefficient as reflected in low power factor ratings. In 1992,
the US EPA, in conjunction with the IT industry, developed the Energy Star
program to drive the development of energy efficient products. Today the
program is recognized as an international standard for energy efficient
consumer products.
To comply with Energy Star standards, desktop computer and workstation
manufacturers incorporate Active Power Factor Correction into their
engineering designs enabling energy efficiencies of 95% or greater to be
achieved. Computers with Active PFC power supplies require pure sine
wave AC power, as supplied by utility companies, for
trouble free operation making pure sine wave UPS
systems the recommended choice for backup power.
Simulated sine wave power, provided by entry-level
UPS systems, may be incompatible with Active PFC
devices. Pure sine wave power varies continuously from
positive to negative (Figure 1) while simulated sine wave
power mimics a pure sine wave using a squared-off
approximation (Figure 2). Due to this approximation,
simulated sine wave power creates a zero power gap for
a momentary length of time. When power is interrupted,
a computer with an Active PFC power supply may
not recognize incoming simulated sine wave power
and unexpectedly shut down or sustain system
component stress.

Waveform Output
PFC Sinewave mini-tower UPS models, with Line-Interactive topology, provide pure
sine wave output to individual work areas, home networking hardware and devices,
entertainment electronics and equipment requiring Active PFC power source
compatibility. These units correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery
thereby extending battery life—essential in areas where power fluctuations
occur frequently.
