From Power Systems International comes the EF20 series of Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems. Manufactured to industrial grade, the UPS is designed to operate continuously for at least 20 years, providing the peace of mind not always offered by commercial UPS systems.
The EF20 is a high-quality, reliable power source suitable for the most critical load applications. The engineering design, construction and performance specification of the rectifiers, inverters and operating systems have been developed from extensive operational duty experience in many types of applications and in demanding environmental conditions. Aerospace applications include navigation aids, radar sites, conveyor systems, terminal lighting, flight departure / arrival boards, baggage handling and airport monorails.
The EF20 is unaffected by environments contaminated by electro-magnetic conducted and radiated emissions or by plasma discharges, which are responsible for causing operational instability and unreliability of the microprocessor control logic used in the commercial types of UPS systems and other power conversion systems. The engineering standard, mechanical construction, ingress protection and thermal management of air flow control within this type of UPS enclosure ensure the system’s operation in high ambient temperatures, humid conditions and in an environment where dust and vapours are present. The control logic is housed in a shielded logic section, enabling the system to operate in the most contaminated environmental conditions.
Extensive features include:
- Control logic uses discrete sections dedicated for the rectifier, inverter and static bypass
- The rectifier, inverter and bypass sections can be operated as individual elements
- Inverter can be started from the battery without the rectifier operating
- Designed to start and run without a battery connected
- Inverter provided with integral isolation output transformer and a static interrupter
