UPS Input voltage

[AhmedMohmansour]

I have Power source input voltage 208V line to line 60HZ can feed UPS 220V single phase (line to neutral)

Probably not. You should use a "boost transformer".

Depends on the spec of the UPS in question. Many higher end units have the option to auto adjust to the input voltage. Others have a manual adjustable input, either through switches or strapping.

Probably not as itsmoked said... for many UPS system designs.

An example of a UPS system design that could do this were the "Best Power" (brand) FERRUPS UPS systems, which offered tremendous input/output voltage flexibility with their multi tapped (both input and output side) ferro resonant tranformer based design.

With these systems line to line input could be used to generate line to neutral outputs at a different voltage than the incoming line to neutral voltage.

You need to verify the UPS you intend to use can do this, since if there is a static bypass built in, the input voltage configuration must match output voltage and configuration.

Best Power was bought out by Eaton Powerware and the FERRUPS design UPS are still in production.. Old technology, but bullet proof design.

If you haven't sourced the UPS yet, perhaps a call to Eaton Powerware tech support will answer the question.

It's completely possible, most of ours run 400V 3-ph input and 110V 1-ph output. Obviously the input and output voltages have to be specified at the time of order, but no technical limitations why it can't be done.

my question about the input voltage to the UPS can be 220 Line to line instead of 220 line to nuatral

Well, that is NOT what you asked. But if this is a NEW question related to the first one, then no, it would not make a difference, at least not in the voltage level. It may make a difference in terms of some common mode noise issues, that's something to ask of the UPS manufacturer.

Why not ask the OEM?

GroovyGuy - that was going to be my question as well, but it seems so obvious. I'm sure there's some interesting reason.
