CENTRAL INVERTER SYSTEMS
SOLID STATE, BATTERY POWERED EMERGENCY AC POWER SYSTEMS*
IPS - INTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEMS
UPS - UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEMS
WHY?
AS INDUSTRIAL AC LOAD REQUIREMENTS BECOME MORE COMPLEX,
THE NEED FOR EMERGENCY STANDBY POWER INCREASES IN
IMPORTANCE. MANY CRITICAL LOADS ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO
THE INTERRUPTION OF UTILITY-SUPPLIED POWER. AC POWER
LOSS OR REDUCTION IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN DELICATE INSTRUMENTATION,
MEMORY STORAGE, SECURITY SYSTEMS OR LIGHTING
SYSTEMS ARE INVOLVED. WHERE POTENTIAL UTILITY POWER
FAILURE THREATENS THE INTEGRITY OF CRITICAL LOADS, A RELIABLE,
INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OF EMERGENCY STANDBY POWER IS
NECESSARY.
HOW?
A CENTRAL INVERTER SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A BANK OF BATTERIES,
DC- TO- AC INVERTER, BATTERY CHARGER AND ASSOCIATED
SWITCHING AND WIRING COMPONENTS. IN THE SYSTEM’S STANDBY
MODE, NORMAL UTILITY POWER IS SUPPLIED TO THE CONNECTED
LOAD THROUGH A TRANSFER DEVICE WHICH MONITORS THE
SUPPLY FOR CONTINUITY. IN THIS MODE, THE CHARGER MAINTAINS
THE BATTERIES AT FULL CHARGE. LOSS OR INTERRUPTION
OF UTILITY POWER INITIATES THE OPERATIONAL MODE, IN WHICH
THE INVERTER DRAWS DC POWER FROM THE BATTERIES AND
CONVERTS IT TO EMERGENCY AC POWER TO SUPPLY THE LOAD.
THE SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE EMERGENCY POWER IN THIS MANNER
FOR A RATED TIME, NORMALLY 1 1/2 HOURS, OR UNTIL THE UTILITY
SUPPLY IS RESTORED. IT THEN RETURNS TO THE STANDBY
MODE AND ENTERS A BATTERY RECHARGE CYCLE. ALL FUNCTIONS
ARE COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC.
* ALL INVERTER SYSTEMS ARE MANUFACTURED ON A CUSTOM
DESIGN BASIS.
