Single phase UPS has a single input and output source to the electrical equipment. With just one sinewave voltage, it only requires two wires to complete the circuit, one conductor and one neutral.
Single phase UPS uninterruptible power supplies typically cover requirements up to 30 kVA. They are for servers, telecoms or computer systems, and network switches. Also they are along with any device that runs directly from a standard three-pin plug.
Single-phase power is through common household outlets to power everyday equipment such as laptops, lighting and televisions. When looking at an oscilloscope image of the voltage coming out of a single-phase outlet.
Single Phase UPS Benefits
- For in most residential homes and small businesses
- Used for a wide range of general applications
- The standard for locations where three-phase power is unavailable
- Most efficient for units up to 1000 watts
- Not delivered at a constant rate

UPS FAQ
-
What is meant by single phase?A single-phase system, circuit, or device has, generates, or uses a single alternating voltage. Single-phase electric power refers to the distribution of alternating current electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in unison.
-
Why is it called single phase?
In a more general sense, this kind of AC power supply is called single phase because both voltage waveforms are in phase, or in step, with each other.
-
Can I use single phase UPS at home?
Single phase ups is more widely available in residential settings and is less expensive to purchase than three phase power units. Single phase is commonly called “residential voltage” for many reasons; one of which, is that most homes use it (it’s the power present in wall plugs).
