Uninterrupted Power Supply units with up to 97-percent efficiency have been recently launched by Schneider Electric Philippines. The new models include the 5-10kVA APC with 0.9 power factor, and the 6-10kVA single-phase UPS range with unity power factor capability. These arrive just in time for typhoon season where energy fluctuations are commonplace.
Claude Mazallon, country president of Schneider Electric, said, “With the rising cost of energy and concerns over efficiency, IT and facility professionals are keen to minimize waste by ensuring a better fit between infrastructure and load requirements. Our unity power factor UPS help reduce waste as well as complexity when it comes to power protection.”
Compact yet powerful, the new Smart UPS models boast a flexible design that allows for rack-mounting or free standing applications making them fit for any environment. The range arrives with an embedded network management card that enables the convenient addition and customization of accessories and communication options to suit all infrastructure needs.
The new Smart-UPS On-Line uses double conversion, on-line topology. Here, the inverter continuously provides regulated power output when supply quality drops outside configurable ranges, meaning the UPS can be used to protect equipment from dips and spikes in voltage, variations in frequency, and most kinds of power interruptions. When not in this on-line mode, the Smart-UPS operates in a green mode with 97% efficiency.
The device is also equipped with a graphical LCD with multi-color backlight, so users can check the UPS’ status in real-time. Diagnostics and log information are also displayed to help identify power issues. To enhance efficient operations and energy monitoring, the units also feature a built-in Energy Meter.
An Intelligent Battery Management system with Predictive Battery Replacement, hot-swappable batteries, and fast charging capability round up the features of the new Smart UPS models.
The comprehensive support that the new Smart-UPS On-Line UPS can contribute will undoubtedly prove to be a boon to any business seeking to minimize energy consumption costs and maximize a stable flow of electrical power.
For your confidence and peace of mind, the new Smart-UPS On-Line UPS come with a three-year warranty, and are available starting April 17. To get more details, please visit www.schneider-electric.com.ph and www.apc.com/ph.
