The UPS Maintenance Cell at CEC is dedicated to supporting the uninterrupted power needs of departments, centres, and offices across IIT Madras. Equipped with advanced diagnostic and repair tools, the Cell offers comprehensive troubleshooting, servicing, and restoration of a wide range of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems deployed across the campus.

Reliable power backup starts with reliable maintenance—CEC ensures that every UPS unit remains performance-ready when it matters most.

Beyond reactive servicing, CEC places a strong emphasis on preventive maintenance to reduce system failures and extend operational life. Technicians routinely inspect and test UPS systems to verify functional integrity, identify early signs of wear, and recommend timely interventions such as battery replacements and filter cleaning. By conducting regular performance assessments, the Cell ensures that all UPS units remain in optimal condition and continue to provide reliable backup during power interruptions.

This proactive approach minimizes the risk of critical downtime and helps sustain the performance of essential research, academic, and administrative operations that depend on uninterrupted power.
