Out with the old defective UPS and in with the new. All seamless from a power point of view because of the bypass switch above. #power#UPSSystems#Bypassswitch
Power disturbance and harmonic survey on this switchboard revealed high 5th harmonic currents due to the load consisting of variable speed drives (VSD)
Cetronic Power Solutions has acquired a specialist generator company to expand our ability to support our customers. Generators provide extra power support over a standard UPS system. Contact us now about your Generator requirements or to arrange a free site survey.
New UPS Installation
Installed a new 30KVA Multi Sentry UPS system with an external manual bypass switch.
This single system replaced 3 x parallel 120KVA UPS systems as the customers load requirements had reduced dramatically.
Parallel 40KVA UPS Replacement
A postponed UPS replacement due to the Corona Virus finally received approval to proceed.
Systems were installed without interrupting power to the load due to the fact that the UPS’s were originally installed with external manual bypass switches.
Busy UPS Maintenance Period
Following the Covid-19 “lockdown”, many companies are realising that now is the perfect time (before staff return to offices) to perform planned preventative maintenance visits.
Tight UPS Installation
Visited a sight the other day to maintain 4 x parallel 40KVA UPS systems. In order to get into these UPS’s for repair or to replace batteries you have to disconnect and take one system out of the room, which provides enough side space to work on the others.
Quacking Transformer:
Back on site performing power monitoring surveys.
Why would a 1,500KVA transformer occasionally produce a “quacking” noise. Av. current was about 60–70A per phase, but, there were regular 700A inrush currents with high harmonic content demanded by the load.
30KVA UPS Replacement
After 14 years this old Multi-Dialog UPS was replaced with a new Multi Sentry system.
The batteries in adjacent cabinets which had recently been replaced were re-used with the new system
