What is a DC UPS or DC No Break System:

 

Represents a truly unique and comprehensive solution to providing a secure, uninterrupted DC power source with backup battery. A No-Break™ DC system ensures you will always have DC power when you need it most, and at the same time will protect and maximise the investment made in your backup battery.
A No-Break™ DC system consists of a No-Break™ DC power supply, coupled with a backup battery. The load is therefore carefully regulated and supplied via intelligent circuitry. The system incorporates common sense features providing a vastly improved solution over traditional methods of float charger + battery. The battery is accurately charged, current limited, and the charger cannot be overloaded..

Snaptec Australia recently introduced the SR Series III range of Switchmode based No Break™ DC Power Supplies, which include the added capability to regularly monitor the condition of the standby battery and raise an alarm when appropriate. The features provide many benefits including minimising the total cost of ownership. Please explore the available options below.

 

SRC NO BREAK FEATURES:

  • Independent load and battery regulators.
  • Temperature Compensated battery float voltage.
  • Battery charge current limiter.
  • Alarms (relay). PSU OK, Battery System OK.
  • Battery deep discharge protection - disconnect/reconnect with alarm.
  • Rapid install / de-install with all connections via Phoenix connector blocks, (for systems <20A).
  • Wide input voltage window tolerance.
  • Precise Voltage and Current controls.
  • Compact and lightweight.
  • High efficiency - (typically >85%) using switchmode technology.
  • Self resetting electronic circuit breaker for overload, short circuit or reverse polarity protection.
  • Conservative design for long life.
  • ISO9001 design management system.
  • Optionally available regular battery condition and presence testing at pre-determined intervals, (currently 250W and above).
  • Customisable 'load vs charge' proportions.
  • Rack and wall mounting options.
  • 24 month warranty.
  • Standard voltages options: 12, 24, 30, 36, 40, 48 and 110V.
  • 100,250,500,750 W models offer excellent selection choice.

 No-Break DC is:

A systemised product for our demanding times that maximises the integrity of standby battery installations.
A battery is installed as your last line of defence in the event of loss of reticulated power.
An investment in battery backup needs best practice support by ensuring that the DC Power system optimises the life and availability of that battery.

Our systems:
Ensure maximum uptime of the system, and life of the battery, by providing:

  • Monitoring of the battery status and availability at all times.
  • Independently limiting the charge current to the battery, thus ensuring load receives priority (most units can have load : charge ratio altered to suit battery size).
  • Protecting against overload, short circuit and reverse polarity connection.
  • Deep discharge protection by disconnecting at low battery voltage.
  • Temperature compensation of battery charge voltage - essential for battery health where ambient temperatures fluctuate.
  • Alarm contacts to enable interfacing with monitoring equipment such as PLCs, SCADA, security, telemetry and myriad others - standard alarms are DC OK, battery low.
  • Optionally, performing regular battery condition testing at a predetermined interval and providing an alarm in the event the battery is suspect (currently 250W and above).

All of the features found are customisable to your needs and additionally we offer a range of packaging options to provide utmost flexibility:

  • All of our standard enclosures enable installation in any area without safety concerns.
  • Rack mounting to standard 19” enclosures .
  • Wall mounting with battery accommodation to house complete system including battery string.

 
8 ways you benefit from choosing a No-Break DC system.

  1. Battery care for long life, using controlled charging and temperature compensation.
  2. Lower lifetime ownership cost through increased battery life and reduction in scheduled maintenance
  3. Peace of mind 24 month warranty.
  4. Alarms (relay) to let you know status of AC mains, battery voltage, battery presence.
  5. Battery availability check by regular detection of battery presence / battery circuit integrity at all times.
  6. Self resetting electronic circuit breaker for overload / short circuit protection.
  7. Protection against harmful deep discharge of battery - low voltage disconnect incorporated.
  8. Flexible options for mounting, metering, battery condition testing.

Your investment in a DC power solution, particularly where battery backup is employed, will be maximised by selection of a No-Break DC system incorporating these common sense benefits and features. In addition you can choose to have regular battery condition testing, meaning that you can rely on the battery to have its designed capacity, if and when it is required to cover power outages.

A range of mounting options are also offered, from 19” equipment rack to wall or floor standing cabinets which may also incorporate metering, batteries and DC distribution.
