The Protect 8 PLUS is the extension of the existing and proven Protect 8 AC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) family, designed to offer greater performances: The new IGBT rectifier largely improves the input power factor, reduces harmonic currents rejection (THDi), and provides a battery discharge capability to the mains network. These new features help contribute to installation savings and to reducing operating and maintenance costs.
IP43 protection
Protection against water and dust
Easy maintenance
Service-friendly design ensures rapid and easy maintenance and minimizes service costs
Optimized TCO
Over the total lifecycle, TCO is optimized thanks to lower energy consumption and service
Benefits
CAPEX savings: Protect 8 PLUS allows the optimization of the architecture and the cost of the upstream distribution network (transformer, circuit breakers, cables) thanks to its high input power factor, reduced THDi (current Total Harmonic Distortion) and to its unique and patented (patent filled) pre-charge circuit that drastically limits the inrush current.
OPEX savings: The IGBT rectifier of the Protect 8 PLUS allows to perform battery discharge tests into the mains, without the need to rent an external load bank. In addition, the front access to all major replaceable components eases maintenance operations.
JIP33 compliance: Protect 8 PLUS meets the requirements of the specification S-701 from the Joint Industry Program JIP33, conducted by the International Association of Oil & Gas producers (IOGP).
