Powerless is not an option

29 November 2024 Power Electronics / Power Management

When the power goes out, it is important for commercial and tertiary facilities to be able to keep essential electrical equipment running. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are critical for transitioning and emergency backup power for a short period, until an alternative power source can be established, or the initial power source is restored.

Legrand’s wide range of UPS systems include the user-friendly Keor Compact unit, which is suitable for low-power three-phase applications in offices, shops, health and educational establishments, hotels, sports facilities and public administration buildings.

Keor Compact is a three phase online double conversion that does not require a transformer. It is available in three different power ratings: 10, 15 and 20 kVA. This compact device, with a 0,22 m² footprint, requires minimal floor space and is designed for easy installation, even in a small technical room. Wheels ensure effortless movement from one position to another.

The low noise Keor Compact UPS system is easy to configure and is controlled and managed via its colour touch screen with intuitive graphics and navigation windows. Parallel connection for redundant configurations ensures high levels of availability for critical applications. If longer operation is required, external battery cabinets can easily be connected to the unit. A standard feature of this unit is embedded internal backfeed protection, which means there is no need to implement external protection in the upstream panel.

Communication features comprise a standard RS232, ModBus, programmable dry contacts, an EPO and GenSet and remote monitoring panel. Optional features include a USB converter and internal SNMP solutions.
