ESCRIPTION

 

The DIMENSION UC-Series are DC-UPSs utilizing 
Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC), 
commonly known as Ultracapacitors or Supercapacitors, 
which are installed inside the DC-UPS. They can bridge 
power failures or voltage fluctuations and supply 
voltage to the DC 24V bus for a certain period, which 
allows for a safe shut-down of the system. Expensive 
downtimes, long restart cycles and loss of data can be 
avoided. 

In times when the power supply provides sufficient 
voltages, the DC-UPS stores energy in the capacitors. In 
case of a mains voltage fault, this energy is released to 
the DC bus in a regulated process. 

The DC-UPSs are maintenance-free and have a similar 
lifetime expectancy as power supplies. No regular 
replacement of the capacitors is necessary as is required 
for battery based DC-UPS systems. The wide 
temperature range from -40°C to +60°C makes the unit 
suitable for many applications. 

The DC-UPSs come in two versions which differ in the 
size of the installed capacitors.
