EcoStruxure IT Expert From your smartphone or computer, connect to our cloud-based, do-it-yourself monitoring system that collects, organizes, and distributes critical alerts and key information in real time, providing a unified view of even highly distributed physical infrastructure environments. Optimize your uptime and maintenance planning, and anticipate infrastructure issues before they occur with advanced analytics and performance benchmarking. Available in select countries.
Front-access servicing Simplifies installation and UPS maintenance while minimizing space requirements.
Multiple levels of service offers With the option of packages or individual service components, our services are structured to allow you to pick and choose what you would like Schneider Electric to do for you.
Total cost of Ownership
Compact UPS High-density technology and full front access make this UPS a footprint saver well suited for confined spaces.
ECOnversion mode Operating mode that ensures ultra high efficiency while charging the batteries, conditioning the load power factor and ensuring a Class 1 output voltage regulation.
High efficiency in double conversion mode Consistently high power quality at high efficiency, even at low load levels. Any disturbances on the distribution waveform are regenerated via the zero transfer time AC to DC then DC to AC conversion process. The battery is only used as a back-up source.
Input power factor correction Minimizes installation costs by enabling the use of smaller generators and cabling.
Availability
Compatible with Schneider Electric’s lithium ion battery solution Reduces system footprint and weight, cooling and maintenance requirements, and total cost of ownership; offers double the life of VRLA batteries; and improves backup storage predictability and manageability.
Embedded Network Management Card Allows you to remotely manage alert thresholds and monitor your UPS over EcoStruxure IT, Web, SNMP, or Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU.
Flexible DC bus Optimizes battery sizing and supports a wide range of energy storage technologies, including VRLA, Li-ion, and NiCd batteries.
Modular UPS design Provides design redundancy and fast serviceability with improved mean time to repair, via self-diagnosing, field-replaceable modules.
Parallel-capacity capability Increases total power capacity by using multiple uninterruptible power supplies simultaneously.
Parallel-redundant capability Powers the connected equipment with multiple uninterruptible power supplies and redundant fan design to increase system redundancy.

IR Thermal Imaging Surveys – Infrared electrical inspection. Infrared electrical testing finds hot, dangerous problems quickly. Infrared electrical inspections find hot spots caused by defects in connections and components.
Detect system overloads, loose defective components and damaged switchgear. Infrared electrical testing finds hot, dangerous problems quickly. Infrared electrical inspections find hot spots caused by defects in connections and components.
Infrared thermography is used to find areas of excess heat (caused by increased resistance) so that problems can be corrected before a component fails, causing damage to the component, creating safety hazards and productivity loss. Because increased heating is a sign of failure, infrared is the best diagnostic tool available for finding these hot connections in the early stages of degeneration.
