An UPS assures an AC supply to its loads, by means of batteries. It also filters grid disturbances, harmonics, over-voltages, etc. These features are requested by critical or vital loads that needs high quality and reliable power.

An UPS comprises 4 sub-systems:
- rectifier: turns AC input mains into DC
- batteries: stores the energy
- inverter: turns DC mains into the output AC one
- by-pass: constantly selects the best net (aux. or inverter)

UNIT DESIGN

Excellent dynamic behaviour unit, with IGBT transistors. One microprocessor control manages the system considering the received signals and orders, and informs the user about its status. Control functions:

- historic: 250 last alarms displayed, with date and time
- automatic control: programmable start-up and shut down
- diagnosis: unit status is displayed and transmitted
- measures:

   • Vef and Ief of all phases
   • active, apparent and reactive powers
   • internal temperatures
   • efficiency
   • input and output power factor and frequency

- test: automatic, local/remote, periodical and programmable
- digital adjust: adjustable parameters by keyboard
- configurable: adjustable system basic functions
- help: it provides help for the keyboard use
