Overview of Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Systems
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) systems provide backup power when the main power supply fails or is turned off. They do more than just protect against power outages—they also maintain power quality. UPS systems offer reliable protection, and their applications vary widely. These include PCs, home offices, networks, server systems, and industrial production lines. In industries like healthcare, such as hospitals, ensuring continuous power supply is crucial to avoid system crashes or total failures.
Our UPS systems are designed to meet specific customer needs, providing reliable service in a range of industries. Whether on land, at sea, in shipbuilding, wind energy (both onshore and offshore), telecommunications, or hospitals, we protect systems from power issues such as voltage drops, surges, frequency changes, and more.
KEMET offers tailored UPS solutions to meet diverse challenges.
COMMERCIAL UPS SYSTEMS
Commercial UPS systems provide backup power and protection for business equipment in offices, retail stores, and data centers. These systems typically range from a few hundred VA to several hundred kVA. They ensure clean, stable power, protecting sensitive electronics from surges, spikes, and other electrical issues. Commercial UPS systems offer short- to medium-term backup power during outages. This allows for safe system shutdowns or seamless transitions during power interruptions.
Available in different formats—tower, rack-mounted, and modular designs—these systems include monitoring and remote management features. They scale easily to meet expanding business needs. By ensuring uninterrupted power, commercial UPS systems maintain business continuity, safeguard equipment, protect data integrity, and improve operational efficiency.
NAVAL UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
In modern shipping, UPS systems are essential for supplying power to critical onboard consumers. If a power network fails, systems like emergency lighting, radio, navigation, automation, and communication must continue operating for a specific duration. These specialized maritime UPS systems comply with ship-specific construction regulations, following standards set by classification societies.
KEMET partners with leading maritime UPS manufacturers, bringing decades of experience. We adhere to ship classifications from authorities such as Germanischer Lloyd, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, and others. Our UPS systems serve shipyards worldwide and are recognized for their reliability in the maritime sector.
HEALTHCARE AND LABORATORY
UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
In healthcare, an uninterrupted power supply is essential. Equipment used in intensive care, operating theaters, and monitoring systems must have reliable power. Battery-powered safety systems ensure continuous, robust protection in hospitals and laboratories across the globe.
Our healthcare UPS systems are custom-built to meet the specific needs of each facility. We produce them under strict quality control standards like DIN ISO 9001 and ensure they comply with the group 2 medical location standard (DIN VDE 0100-710).
ALL-WEATHER UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
All-weather UPS systems are designed to function in extreme conditions, from -30°C to +45°C. These systems use air-forced, partial air-conditioning, or full air-conditioning to maintain performance. They can accommodate different battery types, including SLA, NiCd, Gel, and Lithium. A special input filter ensures efficient operation under extreme temperature fluctuations and unstable power conditions.
These UPS systems are commonly used in wind energy plants and areas with harsh environmental conditions, such as the oil and gas industries. Offshore platforms also use them to power systems like aviation obstruction lighting, elevators, and communication systems. Built to withstand harsh weather and vibrations, these UPS systems ensure long-term reliability in extreme environments.
