Medical labs overlook 90% of power problems
Medical laboratories relying solely on off-the-shelf UPS devices to protect against power outages are leaving themselves vulnerable to a multitude of more serious power problems, warns Powervar
They offer uninterruptible power supply, power conditioning and total power management - all in one unit.
The UPM is a line interactive back-up power supply, incorporating all the functions of Powervar's low impedance power conditioning technology.
By cleaning and conditioning the incoming mains power to electronic equipment it safeguards system integrity and protects components against degradation resulting from spikes and noise, to lengthen their operational life.
In the event of mains power being lost, the UPM uses its internal battery and microprocessor-controlled, digital inverter to produce a low distortion sinusoidal waveform for the protected load.
Even when operating from batteries, UPM systems provide clean, conditioned power by way of power conditioning circuitry.
Powervar UPMs are available in five ratings: 350VA, 500VA, 800VA, 1100VA and 1440VA and in formats for 50Hz and 60Hz power environments.
The systems carry the manufacturer's five-year electronics and two-year battery guarantees.
