Correct UPS Installation & Commissioning: Why It Matters More Than You Think

At Indigi Power & Cooling, we understand that a UPS isn’t just another piece of hardware—it’s a frontline defence for your operations. But even the most advanced UPS system can fall short if it’s not installed and commissioned correctly.

In this blog, we break down why proper installation and commissioning are essential—and how we do it right.

Step 1: The Right Environment from the Start

Every successful UPS installation begins with understanding the space it will operate in:

• Temperature Control: UPS batteries operate best between 20–25°C. Too hot or too cold, and battery life suffers.

• Ventilation & Airflow: Poor air circulation can lead to overheating. We ensure optimal airflow for both UPS and cooling equipment.

• Space & Accessibility: Enough room for technicians to safely service the system—plus proper clearance for cable routing and heat dissipation.

• Floor Load Bearing: UPS systems are heavy. We assess structural conditions to ensure long-term stability.

• 
  

Step 2: Electrical Safety & Integration

A reliable UPS system relies on correct electrical setup:

• Input and Output Cabling: Professionally installed by licensed electricians to manufacturer specs.

• Isolated Circuits: Prevent cascading failures by isolating critical power pathways.

• Proper Earthing: Vital for safety and equipment protection.

We ensure your system is installed to meet all compliance, performance, and warranty standards.

Step 3: Commissioning – The Final and Most Crucial Step

Commissioning is where your UPS system is tested, fine-tuned, and verified before going live:

• Battery Checks: We confirm charge capacity, performance, and runtime.

• Load Testing: Real-world load simulations ensure the UPS performs under stress.

• System Configuration: Custom settings for voltage thresholds, alarms, communication protocols, and auto-shutdowns.

• Switching Tests: We test your system's ability to switch to battery or generator power seamlessly.

• Final Report: You’ll receive a commissioning certificate, log report, and any ongoing maintenance guidance.
