POWERTECNIQUE Pro 3000 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

• Protecting sensitive laboratory equipment from power fluctuations and outages.
• Ensuring continuous operation of critical biotech processes and data systems.
• Maintaining power to pharmaceutical manufacturing control systems during utility interruptions.
• Providing backup power for essential facility systems in research and development environments.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 2 kVA to 3 kVA, providing several minutes to an hour of backup power depending on the load.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard single-phase mains supply, commonly 230V AC, 50Hz, suitable for UK industrial environments.

Output voltage

The output voltage is typically 230V AC, 50Hz, matching the input for seamless transition to battery power.

Battery type

Most UPS systems in this category utilise sealed lead-acid batteries, known for reliability and minimal maintenance.

Runtime

Typical runtime for a 3000VA UPS at full load is often around 5-10 minutes, extending significantly at lower loads.

Form factor

Commonly available as a tower unit or a rack-mountable design, offering flexibility for installation in various setups.

Connectivity

Units typically feature standard IEC outlets for connecting equipment and may include USB or serial ports for monitoring.

• What is the primary function of a UPS in a lab or biotech setting?

  A UPS provides immediate backup power during mains failures and conditions the incoming power to protect sensitive equipment from surges, sags, and other electrical disturbances.

• How do I determine the correct UPS size for my equipment?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used UPS?

• Can this UPS protect against all types of power problems?

• What should I consider when integrating a used UPS into an existing system?

UPS systems are valued in labs and biotech facilities for reliable power continuity during outages. Buyers typically prioritise units with adequate capacity for critical equipment and seek models with clean power output suitable for sensitive instruments. Key considerations when purchasing used units include battery condition, service history, and remaining warranty coverage. Industry sentiment reflects strong demand for these systems due to their essential role in preventing data loss and equipment damage. Reliability and consistent performance are widely regarded as primary strengths.
