UPS offers integrated parallel feature

An upgrade to the MGE EPS8000 UPS family offers an integrated parallel feature and a 12in. touch-screen graphical display. The parallel feature adds capacity or redundancy, enabling customers to configure up to 3 + 1 UPS modules without a centralized static switch cabinet. The supply has an online efficiency up to 94% at full load, and offers from 555 to 1,100 kVA.

The integrated parallel module offers local paralleling boards that communicate with each other to create a synchronized output voltage. UPS controls reside in each module, so when one module is removed from the parallel bus for service or an internal failure, the remaining UPS modules to immediately accept the load of the failed UPS module.
