AEG's UPS line has building-block architecture
AEG Power Solutions
Protect 8 UPS
AEG Power Solutions has announced the first models in its new generation of UPSs - the Protect 8 line.
Designed and built using a modular, building-block architecture, the models are tailored to each customer's specific requirements.
The initial version launched by AEG Power Solutions is the Protect 8.31, an industrial double-conversion model.
Protect 8 employs VFI (Voltage Frequency Independent) technology and is a true online, double-conversion UPS, guaranteeing a filtered, stabilised and reliable output voltage that is free from frequency variations, over-voltage and voltage dips.
The AEG Protect 8 has a three-phase 400V AC input and single-phase 230V AC output rated at 10/20/30/40/60/80/100/120kVA, with customer-specific ratings available on request.
The Protect 8 UPS is said to have an excellent dynamic response and maintains optimum efficiency even when not running at full load.
Standard features include extended load power-factor range, global efficiency more than 88 per cent for UPS at 220V DC, MTBF more than 150,000 hours, variable-speed low-noise fans, output voltage and frequency adjustable via DOU (+/-3 per cent), low THD on the AC output, UL compliant, parallel operation and UPS environmental protection to IP43.
The Protect 8 has an Integrated Static-Bypass-Switch (intelligent transfer zero switching time) and is fitted with an isolating transformer.
It is short-circuit resistant, overload proof, can be operated with a central battery and has an ergonomic display and control unit.
Each Protect 8 UPS is built by assembling and configuring the particular rectifier, inverter and bypass modules exactly suited to each customer's specific requirements.
Due to this modular approach, Protect 8 systems offer rapid maintenance as any module can be quickly replaced if necessary.
Additional benefits include investment protection and easy integration through the Protect 8 open communications platform, lower operating costs through reduced cooling requirements and floor-space savings due to its compact footprint.
Protect 8 UPS are designed for virtually all industrial sectors requiring maximum reliability such as onshore and offshore oil and gas installations, energy and electricity generation and distribution, water treatment and instrumentation, process control and others.
