From Power Systems International, comes the EF20 series of uninterruptible power supply systems. Made to meet industrial requirements, the UPS has been designed to operate continuously for at least two decades.
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 (but are not limited to) 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:
- 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
