Industrial UPS

Industrial UPS systems are designed to perform in rugged indoor environments or outdoor applications with harsh conditions that threaten the longevity and reliability of the UPS and batteries.

Industrial UPS systems are designed and built to withstand:

• Temperature extremes
• Remote or hard to access areas
• Moisture
• Dirt and debris
• Salt air
• Insects, animals, vandalism

Some industrial applications, such as warehouse space or a manufacturing floor, can expose the UPS to dirt, dust and debris and wide temperature swings. In these challenging conditions, a failure can be difficult to troubleshoot and repair, making the reliability of an Industrial UPS even more critical.

Industrial UPS systems are designed for rigorous installations that may have wide temperature ranges, varying humidity, dust, debris and other air contaminants, or locations that have high seismic activity or are prone to excessive vibration. Applications such as Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Power Generation and Petrochemical are examples of environments that generally demand rugged Industrial UPS systems.

Industrial UPS systems tend to have a longer design life – up to 20 years. Configurations usually include dual source inputs, external manual bypass switches, input/output copper wound transformers and internal static switches for automatic and or manual control. Ferroresonant and SCR based designs are sometimes specified, but transistorized rectifiers and inverters are more popular dues to increased efficiencies.
