Continuous Power

admin2020-06-12T12:38:27+00:00

Continuous Power – Uninterruptible Continuous power is a necessity for mission critical equipment. Supplying unbroken electrical input allowing a sustained level of operation when the power grid has failed. Constant power control will prevent momentary overloads or brown outs, preventing mechanical damage. Maximum contingency power Maximum contingency power is essential...

How to size a UPS ( Uninterruptible Power Supply )

admin2020-04-30T12:32:53+00:00

Factors to consider in calculating UPS power. Take into account these respective power factors presented below when considering how to size a UPS:- Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) Ensure that you know what is the peak load of all the equipment to be supported by the UPS....

Generator Harmonic Issues

admin2020-04-27T12:49:38+00:00

Generator Harmonic issues explained Harmonic distortion increases the rms value of the output voltage and thus creates issues on Diesel Generator regulation. This is based on the rms value of sinusoidal voltage. What is more, the high time constant of the flux variations in the...

Standby Generator Standby Diesel Generator means Emergency Power for use. When the main GRID supply fails during a power outage and your installed ‘Standby Generator’...

What are Brown Outs?

admin2020-03-31T14:58:10+00:00

Brown outs are getting more common every day in the UK. Therefore Brown outs prevention is a necessity for mission critical sites. What is a Brown Out? These occur when mains GRID supply voltage momentarily drops down. They are usually micro second drops in power....

What is an Uninterruptible Power Supply System-explained?

admin2020-05-07T09:49:05+00:00

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is an emergency backup power source usually consisting of lead acid batteries supporting power electronics that converts incoming AC to DC output current to support a specified load. The UPS will provide No BREAK power to the downstream load for...
