Power and Energy Systems

Power and energy systems include devices that make mains power uninterrupted and stable, distribute it to loads, or provide energy independent of the mains. They are used to protect sensitive loads from outages and voltage fluctuations in data centers, offices, production facilities and homes, to charge electric vehicles, and to generate electricity from solar energy. The category consists of UPS uninterruptible power supplies, regulators, isolation transformers and PDU power distribution units, as well as electric vehicle charging stations, charging sockets, solar panels and portable power stations; most products are from Schneider Electric, Siel and ABB. Choose the device by the total power of the load to be supplied (VA or kW), input and output phase configuration, the backup time required during an outage, and the voltage sensitivity of the load. For UPS units, 2200 VA, 20 kVA and 160 kVA are examples of the listed power ratings; some models are stated in the product name as with or without batteries. A regulator only regulates voltage and does not supply the load during an outage; it therefore does not replace a UPS where outage protection is needed.

How to choose Power and Energy Systems

Power and energy systems include devices that make mains power uninterrupted and stable, distribute it to loads, or provide energy independent of the mains. They are used to protect sensitive loads from outages and voltage fluctuations in data centers, offices, production facilities and homes, to charge electric vehicles, and to generate electricity from solar energy.

  • Determine whether backup power bridging (UPS) or voltage regulation is required.
  • Calculate kVA rating, phase configuration and backup runtime from the critical load list.
  • Verify battery bank, bypass topology and monitoring interface requirements.
