On-line double conversion (ac-dc-ac) UPS
(also known as
regenerative uninterruptible power systems, UPS systems or battery backups) in
both tower and rack-mount configurations are most specified/recommended for
mission-critical applications that also require the use of motor-generators. The
reason these UPS are suitable for use with
motor-generators, is that aside from just providing battery back and power
protection, they also regenerate frequency, something
line-interactive and standby UPS cannot do without going to battery. With a Falcon SG Series Plus UPS between
your generator and critical load, you can run as long as your generator has
fuel, and the SG Series Plus will deliver pure power the whole time.
Double conversion on-line UPS table
These regenerative on-line UPS with
input power factor correction provide the highest level of protection against
the widest spectrum of power problems. The incoming ac utility source is
converted to a regulated dc voltage. From this dc voltage, a new ac voltage is
regenerated, providing continuous, clean, tightly regulated (+/- 2 to 5% depending on model)
power to your equipment. If your equipment operation is
"Mission-Critical," including a true on-line double conversion UPS
with automatic bypass, such as Falcon
Electric's SG Series UPS Plus, is a key point in a highest availability power strategy.
|
With two Falcon double conversion UPS and the addition of a TSi
Power ATs Series automatic transfer switch, you can create a redundant power
situation where downtime from loss of power can be made extremely minimal.
Add-in to the picture -- two motor-generators, two power grids or other
very reliable power sources -- and downtime from loss of power can
virtually be eliminated. This is the absolute ideal for extremely
mission-critical applications. |
"Mission-critical" UPS are for where uptime is critical to an
operation's
mission fulfillment. Typical UPS back-up times are from 8 to 30 minutes. If
longer battery times are desirable, choose an uninterruptible power supply with
an extra battery cabinet(s) to satisfy your
requirements.
Typical UPS
applications include:
-
Uninterruptible power supplies for the internet,
to protect
your files and transactions while logged onto the Internet.
- Uninterruptible
power supplies for
servers,
for automatic file-save/shutdown and to protect networks from downtime.
- Uninterruptible
power Supplies for
telephone systems,
to make sure telecommunications still operate through power
outages.

UPSILON auto-shutdown
software for Falcon UPs
This is power monitoring and
automatic fileserver shutdown software to coordinate UPS related file
saving scenarios. With this included software, all SG Series UPS models
support unattended shutdown, management, data logging, and self-diagnostics.
This software comes with all SG Series Plus series tower and rackmount UPS. The software supports Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, 2000 Server, ME, XP, Novell
Netware 5&6, LINUX and FreeBSD. UPSILON for UNIX supports most popular UNIX
platforms and OS versions.
In answer to
the question: How long after an outage should I wait before having my UPS
software start an automatic shutdown? Part of the answer is going to
be: with a typical utility power outage occurrence, right after 30
seconds.
After thirty seconds, there usually have been
approximately 3 automatic utility 're-closure' attempts made. If the fault
on the grid is not cleared with the third attempt (or whatever number your
particular utility
may use), the utility SCADA system will shut down that portion of the grid and
dispatch a service crew. With UPSILON your system can be automatically programmed
to run on batteries while it waits out this 30 seconds before saving all open files and initiating an orderly graceful shutdown sequence.
This is recommended for all network file server operations. If your outage does go longer than 30 seconds, there are
good odds you are in a "hard down" situation that may last 30 minutes to 2
or 3 hours, and sometimes even worse, as happened a few years back when six
western states were down for about 16 hours after a tree fell on a power
line in Oregon, and there was a sort of follow-on cascading effect of grid
area shutdowns. (You had to just love the spokesperson's response on the
news after being asked about the vulnerability of the power grid. Paraphrased ~ "Actually,
the outage showed how strong our safeties are, the whole
country didn't go down!" (from one tree falling on a line in Oregon... and
the whole country didn't go down, just six entire states for 16 hours. Very
strong safeties indeed. *smiling*). |
