Switzerland-based manufacturer CENTIEL has introduced the PremiumTower, a stand-alone that can be used for applications where a modular system is not always required.

The new UPS offers built-in internal batteries from 10 to 200kW which, according to its maker, minimises footprint, eliminates extra costs for external battery frames, and means easier installation. 

CENTIEL says the flexibility in the number of battery blocks (30 to 50) allows the system designer to optimise costs versus autonomy time. It adds that with the ability to provide up to five times more charge current than the typical standalone UPS, the PremiumTower reduces the total system cost by eliminating the need forexternal battery chargers.

The company also claims that high efficiency of 96.6 per cent in double conversion (VFI) and 99.4 per cent in Ultra-safe ECO mode guarantees maximum energy savings and the lowest TCO.

CENTIEL says the PremiumTowerprovides unity power factor output (kVA/kW) which avoids the need for system oversizing to support today’s power factor corrected loads.
