Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of industrial UPS, capacities commonly range from 100 kVA to 500 kVA, with larger systems available.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase input, commonly 400V or 415V AC.

Battery configuration

These systems commonly utilise a bank of sealed lead-acid batteries, with the number dependent on desired runtime and capacity.

Topology

Industrial UPS systems are typically online double-conversion, providing continuous power conditioning.

Footprint

The physical size varies significantly with capacity, often requiring dedicated plant room space for the main unit and battery cabinets.

Cooling

Units typically employ forced air cooling and require adequate ventilation in their installation environment.
