MST Series

MST UPS is an on-line double-conversion UPS in accordance with VFI-SS-111.

ZERO IMPACT ON SUPPLY SOURCE

MST systems are easy to install and ideally suited to sites which have limited power capacity available, standby generation and potentially harmonic compatibility issues.  Each system features:

•  low input current distortion – less than 3%
•  high input power factor 0.99
•  power walk-in function to achieve progressive rectifier start-up
•  delayed start-up on mains power supply return

The systems also performs the role of a high specification filter, protecting its power supply source (mains or generator) from any harmonics and reactive power generated by the loads it is powering.

BATTERY CARE SYSTEM

The Battery Care System optimises battery performance, to help extend their working life and ensure that the UPS can deliver its full-rated backup time when called upon in an emergency.

Battery recharge: Systems are compatible for use with VRLA AGM and GEL lead-acid batteries including open-vented types, and Ni-Cads. Specific management features include:

• One-level recharge to meet the requirements of the most common VRLA AGM batteries
• Two voltage level recharge meeting the IU characteristic
• Restricted charging to reduce electrolyte consumption and extend the life of VRLA batteries
• Temperature compensation: to avoid excessive voltage being applied to the batteries in a high ambient
• Battery test: to detect performance degradation and predict battery failure.
• Deep discharge protection: to prevent the batteries being discharged below a level from which they cannot be recovered (especially when discharged over long periods with very low loads).
• Low AC ripple current: from a high-frequency battery charger, to ensure the batteries are not subjected to this damaging element commonly experienced with some other UPS and power supply designs.
• Wide input voltage range: from a rectifier that can work down to less than 40% of its nominal supply rating (at half load), removing the need to discharge the batteries.

MST batteries can be equipped with ‘Powershield Battery Monitoring’

FLEXIBILITY

Amongst the systems many features and configuration options, each

• Suitable for powering capacitive loads, for example, Blade servers – without any reduction in active power, from 0.9 leading to 0.9 lagging
• Modes of operation include: On-Line, Eco, Smart-Active and Stand-By/Off
• Frequency conversion mode
• Power Share connections for priority-based load shedding when the mains power supply has failed
• Cold-start facility to switch the UPS on even without a mains power supply present
• Extensive backup time options using battery extension cabinets
• Optional battery cabinet temperature sensor to assist the temperature compensating charger
• Optional battery chargers to optimise recharge times
• Optional dual input supplies
• Optional isolation transformers for Galvanic isolation and neutral connectivity
