IPS and UPS: Stronger Together

Within healthcare environments are some of the most critical applications. Patient and staff safety depends on the availability of machines and these machines are reliant on a consistent supply of electricity no matter the state of the primary supply. The HTM 06-01 covers the requirements of power in different risk areas within a healthcare facility. As part of the HTM 06-01, the minimum requirements of UPS (uninterruptible power supplies) and IPS (isolated power supplies) are set out. 

In this podcast, we discuss these UPS and IPS requirements and how they work together to provide a reliable supply of power with our guest speaker, Colin Walsh, Territory Sales Manager at Starkstrom. We also touch on the future of UPS and IPS technology and how lithium-ion could benefit healthcare estates in the future. 

Our relationship with Starkstrom dates back to 2007 and over the years we have worked together to provide numerous healthcare customers with complete critical power solutions including supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
