The difference's between an inverter and a UPS are as
follows
1) CHANGE OVER TIME: An off-line ups (the standard)
switches to the batteries in 3 to 8 milliseconds, after the
main power has been lost.
The typical Inverter changes over in about 500
milliseconds
2) SIZE: Off-line UPS's go up to about 2kVA
Inverters go to 16kVA, 3 phase(what i could find browsing)
3)VOLTAGE REGULATION: UPS's have automatic voltage
regulation (AVR) set on average at 220v
Inverters output voltage is the same as the mains input
voltage (South Africa = 230V)
An inverter can transform a voltage from say 12volts dc and
up to 230v AC.
UPS means Uninterrupted Power Supply. If you use an UPS
between your computer, and your socket in the wall, and
experience a power failure, the UPS will act as a battery
and give you some extra minutes work time to save your
work, and turn of the machine properly. Without the UPS
your machine would die immediately.
*note: the UPS is NOT a normal battery, so you cant put a
battery between your computer and the mains.
2) The basic
difference in layman's terms is:
While both provide backup power during mains outage, with
the UPS the switch is instantaneous whereas with the
Inverter there is a gap of a second or two. This gap is OK
for household gadgets such as lights, fans, fridge, etc.
but not OK for computers.
In technical terms:
UPS: The mains power comes to the UPS. The AC is converted
to DC and this DC is constantly charging the battery. The
output of the battery is fed to the Sine wave inverter and
it converts DC to AC and this feeds the equipment. Since
power out is always drawn from the battery, there is no
time lag when mains switches off; it just stops the battery
from being charged and the UPS continues to supply power
till the battery runs out.
Inverter: The mains powercomes to the Inverter. This is
directly sent to the output but the AC is also converted to
DC and this DC is constantly charging the battery. A sensor
and relay mechanism checks whether the mains is ON or OFF.
When the main switches OFF, the relay actuator triggers to
switch from mains to inverter. Rest is same like the UPS.
Because of this sensor and relay, there is a gap between
triggering.
UPS involves more costly circuits and is therefore more
expensive to make and sell.
Apart from these there is another difference. The AC supply
has a pure sine wave whereas in an offline UPS the output
is a near sine wav, not a pure sine wav where as for a
inverter its step wave. This is the reason that we hear a
hum when we attach a inductive load to a UPS or a inverter
but we do not hear anything when its on AC supply.

hi pal, i am vengatesh from tamilnadu(chidambaram),i have called for the written test for the post of jr executive(ELECTRICAL) of AAI ,I dont know about the question paper pattern,so any kindly help me to face the examination,post me the model question papers and some tips to write my examination to (vengi.annadurai@gmail.com)
y we use neutral,all r told its used to for closed path..k its a just used to closed path,in a transmission line y we put same conductor used n both phase and neutral..if we use less than phase conductor in neutral mean we ll reduce cost its right r wrong..if we use mean any problem occur in transmission line..
