Static UPS
The Symmetra MW static uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system offers up to 1.6MW of power in a scalable, modular design. The modular design allows power-capacity expansion in 200kW increments. The Symmetra MW also features distributed inverter technology for internal N+1 redundancy and fault containment, power-factor-corrected input, and a battery management technology that monitors individual cells and characteristics and injects current into under-performing batteries.

Line Reactors
The SLR series of DIN-rail-mounted line reactors protects sensitive equipment from supply-line irregularities, including harmonic distortion, nuisance tripping, and line notching. The reactors provide protection for high-frequency drives or other 3-phase electronic systems plagued by capacitor or large load switching. An inductive filter removes harmonics, which eliminates drive cross talk and interference and keeps line voltages smooth through notching. Units are available in 2 hp to 20 hp voltages.

Battery Tester
The SecurePower 6/12 battery conductance tester performs small battery screening for backup power systems that protect security and/or fire alarms, emergency lighting, and portable UPS applications. The tester measures a battery's voltage and conductance to help technicians identify batteries that need replacing before the next power outage.

VAR Compensator
The PureWave AVC™ (adaptive VAR compensator) uses power-electronic switching to provide variable amounts of reactive compensation on a cycle-by-cycle basis. It continuously monitors load conditions and matches its output to the load's requirement, providing real-time VAR compensation. Typical applications include voltage support, voltage flicker, and power factor correction for dynamically varying industrial loads.
