PureWave UPS
-About PureWave UPS
The demand for extremely high levels of electric service reliability continues to grow. With the ever-increasing use of sophisticated controls and equipment in industrial, commercial, institutional, and governmental facilities, the continuity, reliability, and quality of electrical service is crucial to organizational success. And in an increasingly wired world, consumers are less tolerant of outages, even those of short duration.
S&C can help you navigate these challenges. Our experts will work with you to identify sources of reliability issues, and identify the optimal approach to ensure an extremely high level of reliability. We offer proven technologies for ensuring uninterruptible power. Our innovative PureWave UPS™ Uninterruptible Power System relies on S&C’s field-hardened power electronics technology to provide extremely rapid response to system disturbances. And we’ll install, commission, and maintain your uninterruptible power system, to ensure trouble-free performance over the long haul.
PureWave UPS System supports entire loads with clean power for up to 60 seconds, eliminating 99% of all power quality problems. It supports reduced loads for up to 180 seconds. It can be seamlessly coordinated with a backup generator set. Ride-through time can be tailored to permit start-up, then “soft” load transfer to the backup generator, for 100% protection through extended outages. No costly utility paralleling switchgear is needed. And the backup generator can be sized up to 35% smaller than with conventional UPS systems. We now also offer an extended run-time version of our UPS, the PureWave UPS-XT. This product provides S&C’s field-proven UPS technology applied to projects that require battery run-times in excess of one minute.
PureWave UPS systems are available in low-voltage models for capacities from 313 kVA up to 2500 kVA. PureWave UPS and PureWave UPS-XT systems are available in medium-voltage models in capacities from 2.5 VA to 20 MVA.
Features of PureWave UPS
The PureWave UPS System can be seamlessly coordinated with a backup generator set. Ride-through time can be tailored to permit start-up, then “soft” load transfer to the backup generator, for 100% protection through extended outages. No costly utility paralleling switchgear is needed. And the backup generator can be sized up to 35% smaller than with conventional UPS systems.
Energy-Efficient
More than 98% energy-efficient — highest in the industry.
Reduced carbon footprint
Static switch design
When selecting a medium voltage PureWave UPS, the copper conductor costs of distributing power are greatly reduced when compared to conventional low-voltage designs.
Installable Outdoor
No need to construct a building or an addition to house the equipment. The PureWave UPS System is completely self-contained in a NEMA 3R (IP 14) enclosure, with an exceptionally small footprint.
Reduces interior air-conditioning load, resulting in increased savings.
–Scalable, Low- and Medium-Voltage Models
The PureWave UPS System is available in a wide range of capacities. It can provide power protection for an entire facility.
Just purchase the capacity required for your present critical load. Additional 313-kVA modules can be added at any time, as the critical load grows. As many as eight 2.5-MVA containers can be paralleled to protect medium-voltage loads up to 20 MVA.
- Low-voltage models. Available in capacities from 313 kVA up to 2500 kVA for 208- to 600-volt applications.
- Medium-voltage models. Available in capacities from 2.5 MVA to 20 MVA for 5- to 35-kV applications.
Unmatched Features
Truly maintenance-free batteries with non-prorated 5-year warranty. Batteries can be 100% recycled.
Quiet operation. Audible noise is less than 55 dB(A), compared to 72 dB(A) for conventional UPS systems.
The field proven PureWave UDM is a patented detection system that allows the PureWave UPS to sense utility voltage deviations at the industry’s fastest rate while meeting the demanding IEC Class 1 rating for “fast transfer” to battery power.
Applications of PureWave UPS
The PureWave UPS System has been applied around the world, to protect facilities including:
