Our last blog addressed when an Industrial UPS is required in an indoor application. This blog discusses industrial UPS systems for outdoor applications and what options Falcon offers. A typical UPS vs. an Industrial UPS An Industrial UPS is designed very differently than a typical UPS. A typical UPS’s temperature range is limited to 0°C…
A typical UPS installed in a controlled environment such as a server room or office is not likely to be exposed to temperature variations, severe power disruption or airborne contaminants. Since the temperature range is limited to 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), an office-grade UPS that uses generic 3-5 year life VRLA batteries is…
Falcon’s LiFePO4 lithium battery option for SSG Industrial UPS offers many advantages over lead-acid batteries. LiFePO4 offers better service life, longer runtimes, lighter weight and can take up less space. Having the ability to save valuable space, specifically inside a network equipment rack or in our NEMA 3R enclosures, can be very important when selecting…
As this New Year 2024 has begun, here are two preventative maintenance tips: Check your UPS Batteries: As part of preventative maintenance, check your UPS batteries every six months to one year.If the battery packs or banks are to be stored for an extended period, we recommend charging the batteries for 24 hours every 3…
There are many factors to consider when selecting the right UPS for your application. Certain features may seem attractive but may not play a significant role in overall reliability throughout the life of the UPS. Falcon’s SSG, SSG-RP Industrial UPSs are capable of providing reliable service life in high temperature industrial environments. We focus on…
Many industries require operations in remote locations which can bring several challenges when it comes to power quality. Unmanned remote sites in rural areas like solar facilities require network access points to remain online to assure continuous operation. A UPS is typically required in this scenario to provide stability during power outage events. Remote locations,…
The availability of clean water requires use of an intricate network of control devices to continually provide this precious resource. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks control the entire water-treatment process and require clean, uninterrupted electrical power. Control devices like programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote terminal units (RTUs), sensors, and variable speed drives are…
Outdoor NEMA 3R rated enclosure applications paired with our high-temperature rated industrial UPS provides reliable power to critical devices when utility power problems occur. Most UPSs cannot operate at temperatures above 40°C or below 0°C since they are office-grade products designed to be used in a temperature-regulated office environment. Falcon’s industrial UPSs are UL listed…
There are many factors associated with selecting the appropriate UPS for your application, including operating temperature, battery type and UPS topology. While the online double conversion UPS remains the best option for critical applications, the overall success of choosing a UPS for your application relies on knowing the load type. 3 Load Types: Capacitive, Resistive…
The U.S. military and contractors like Northrop Grumman, L3 and Lockheed Martin have installed Falcon’s military COTS uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solutions in diverse applications worldwide. For example, the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy rely on Falcon’s rock-solid, online ED UPS and Frequency/Phase Converters, 1 to 5kVA. The single and three phase rugged UPS…
