 Key specifications

 The same specifications and features as the other Hitec UPS systems :
– Output frequency, output voltage, filter working, short circuit
behaviour power factor improvement.
behaviour, improvement

 Ride Through time >15 sec full load.

 High efficiency: >96%.

 1 min speed up time needed for 1 sec mains failure at full load

 Speed up time is 15 min when the flywheel is completely drained after

a mains failure in full load.

 Flywheel speed 2900 rpm.

 Maintenance similar to diesel UPS but without diesel maintenance.

 Single and parallel RT

< 4 second interruption

p

ƒ Why paralleling :
- Higher power ratings
- Redundancy
- Additional RT time
- Increased reliability

50 Years of Continuous Operation

Combination Ride Through & Genset

Can be used on all configurations and is easily integrated

ƒ Single or parallel system configurations

ƒ Interfacing (simple I/O interface)
ƒ Genset control (AMF or control by RT)
ƒ Genset startup time
ƒ Genset specifications
ƒ Redundant genset start option
ƒ Containerized versions
