Snaptec Australia introduces new version inverter charger
Snaptec Australia, specialist in power conversion is introducing a new 5KVA inverter charger or industrial UPS. The new Quattro 5KVA
inverter charger has
two AC inputs with integrated transfer switch. The Quattro can be connected to
two independent AC sources, for example shore-side power and a generator, or two
generators or AC mains and generator. The industrial UPS will automatically
connect to the active source. In the event of a grid failure, or shore or generator power being disconnected, the Quattro takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption. The second output is live only when AC is available on one of the inputs of the Quattro. Uncritical loads that should not discharge the battery can be connected to this output. The Quattro industrial UPS can be connected in parallel for increased power, up to 6 units can operate in parallel. Six units of the 24/5000/120 model, for example, will provide 25kW / 30kVA output power and 720 amps charging capacity. For even greater increased power multiple Quattro industrial UPS units can be connected to produce a 3 phase AC output, with up to 6 units per phase, giving a total power capability of 90KVA / 75KW. The Quattro 5KVA inverter charger provides computer monitoring and control facility, with full software backup. The main application for this inverter charger is mainly when a high reliability AC back up system with a long backup time is required.

Snaptec Australia Pty. Ltd. , specialists
in power supplies, have extended their offer of the high quality HWS family of
compact single-output power supplies to include models that are approved for use
in medical equipment, and others which perform reliably in the harshest of
operating environments.
The new HWS-ME medical supplies are available
with ratings from 30W to 1,500W, while the heavy-duty versions are offered with
ratings from 50W to 1,500W. All models of HWS feature exceptionally compact
construction, typically requiring 60% less space than previous generation
products, and all are suitable for operation from inputs in the range 85-265VAC
at 47-63Hz, or 120-370V DC (except 1500W models), without the need for switching
or adjustment.
HWS-ME power supplies for medical applications have
EN60601-1 / UL60601-1 approvals for basic isolation and have leakage current
less than 500 uA. Models up to 300W also meet Class B emc requirements. They
are, therefore, a versatile, space-saving and cost-effective choice for use in
non-patient connected equipment such as MRI scanners and X-ray machines.
Output voltages for medical supplies rated up to 150W cover the range 5V
to 48V, with a smaller range of output options offered for 300W, 600W and 1,500W
models.
The HWS-HD heavy duty supplies are ideal for use in roadside
cabinets, road signs, ticketing machines, automatic barriers and similar
demanding applications. The units will start up at temperatures as low as –40°C
depending upon input voltage and load conditions.
Their ability to
withstand adverse environmental conditions is further enhanced by a conformal
coating which is applied to both sides of the printed circuit boards. The units
also meet MIL standards for vibration and shock (MIL-STD-810F)
HWS-HD
power supplies are available with output voltages from 3.3V to 48V in versions
rated at up to 600W, and 12V to 48V in 1,500W versions.

Smart DC UPS systems from Snaptec Australia
10-Sep-2006
Snaptec is proud to introduce one of the
most extensive range of DC UPS systems to the Australian market.
A DC
Uniterruptable Power System is the natural product for critical DC applications.
Available for 12V , 24V , 36V , 48V and custom voltages upon
request.
Snaptec SR series of DC UPS systems is available with power
ratings from 100W to 750W , while the SNB series is available from 50W to 150W.
The BX series caters for power ratings from 250W to 1000W.
Represents a
truly unique and comprehensive solution to providing a secure, uninterrupted DC
power source with backup battery. A DC UPS 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 DC UPS system consists of a
No-Break DC power supply and battery charger, 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.
A proper DC UPS system should also have the added capability to
regularly monitor the condition of the standby battery and raise an alarm when
appropriate. This features provide many benefits including minimising the total
cost of ownership. The following are some of the features that good DC UPS
system should incorporate:
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.
One of the unique features of the SR series is the
cabability to perform an automatic battery test of the backup battery at
predetermined intervals and predetermined test period. This feature is critical
to provide long term integrity of battery backup systems to insure that the
battery will perform when most needed.
