Course Overview
The UPS & Battery Systems Training Course equips electrical engineers, technicians, and facility and maintenance professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to select, size, operate, test, maintain, and troubleshoot uninterruptible power supply systems, DC systems, and stationary batteries that protect critical loads. Control systems, safety and emergency shutdown systems, telecommunications, data centers, hospitals, substations, and industrial processes all depend on uninterrupted, high-quality power. UPS and battery failures, often caused by poor design, inadequate maintenance, high temperatures, or undetected battery degradation, can lead to loss of critical systems, unsafe plant trips, data loss, and costly outages. The course covers UPS and battery systems from design principles to field maintenance, informed by recognized international and industry standards for UPS systems and for the sizing, installation, maintenance, and testing of stationary batteries. Participants learn UPS types, topologies, and performance classifications, static and rotary systems, AC and DC industrial UPS and battery chargers, redundancy configurations, bypass arrangements, and UPS sizing. The program then addresses battery technologies, including vented and valve-regulated lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and lithium-ion batteries, battery sizing and autonomy calculations, charging regimes, temperature effects, battery room design and ventilation, and battery monitoring systems. Participants also learn commissioning, load bank and capacity testing, impedance and conductance testing, thermal imaging, preventive maintenance, integration with generators and transfer switches, protection and selectivity, electrical and chemical safety including arc flash and lithium-ion thermal runaway risks, fault diagnosis, and life cycle and replacement planning. The course is delivered through system schematics, sizing calculations, maintenance and test data interpretation, and troubleshooting case studies. Participants leave with a UPS and battery sizing worksheet, a redundancy and configuration selection guide, a battery maintenance and testing checklist, a battery room safety checklist, and a UPS troubleshooting guide.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze the role of UPS and battery systems in protecting critical loads and the consequences of their failure on Day 1.
- Compare UPS types and performance classifications, including standby, line-interactive, and double conversion online systems, and static and rotary UPS.
- Explain the operation of rectifiers, inverters, static switches, bypass arrangements, and AC and DC industrial UPS and battery chargers.
- Evaluate UPS redundancy configurations, including N+1, 2N, parallel, and isolated redundant systems.
- Size UPS systems based on load characteristics, power factor, growth, and autonomy requirements.
- Compare battery technologies, including vented and valve-regulated lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and lithium-ion batteries, and their applications.
- Apply recognized standards to calculate battery capacity and autonomy, considering temperature, aging, and design margins.
- Apply correct charging regimes and assess the effects of temperature on battery performance and life.
- Design safe battery rooms, including ventilation, hydrogen management, spill containment, and fire protection, and apply battery monitoring systems.
- Plan commissioning, load bank testing, capacity testing, impedance and conductance testing, thermal imaging, and preventive maintenance.
- Integrate UPS systems with generators, transfer switches, and protection systems and apply electrical and chemical safety practices, including arc flash and lithium-ion thermal runaway prevention.
- Diagnose UPS and battery faults and plan life cycle management and replacement by the end of Day 5.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for electrical engineers, electrical and instrumentation technicians, maintenance engineers and supervisors, and facility engineers responsible for UPS, DC, and battery systems. It is also relevant for data center and telecommunications engineers, control and automation engineers whose systems depend on UPS power, commissioning engineers, reliability engineers, and HSE professionals responsible for battery room safety.
It is particularly valuable for professionals in oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, and industrial facilities; in power generation, transmission, distribution, and substations; in water and desalination plants; in data centers and telecommunications providers; in hospitals, airports, and critical government facilities; and in UPS and battery service providers and electrical contractors.

- Explain why UPS and battery systems are critical for reliable operations.
- Distinguish between UPS types and select the right one for each application.
- Describe how UPS components and bypass systems work.
- Choose suitable redundancy configurations for critical loads.
- Size UPS systems correctly.
- Select appropriate battery technologies for different environments.
- Calculate battery capacity and backup time accurately.
- Charge and operate batteries in ways that maximize life.
- Design and maintain safe battery rooms.
- Test and maintain UPS and battery systems effectively.
- Integrate UPS systems safely with generators and protection systems.
- Diagnose faults and plan timely battery and UPS replacement.
