Ensuring Power Supply: Making the Right Choice Is Crucial
Under the shadowless lamps in hospital operating rooms, beside the humming server clusters in data centers, and among the robotic arms on automated production lines in factories, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) serve as silent guardians, maintaining the stable operation of critical equipment. However, when faced with the two major technical routes of industrial frequency UPS and high-frequency UPS, how should one make a choice?
Medical Scenarios: Stability Is of Utmost Importance
In hospital environments, life-support equipment and medical imaging instruments have a "zero-tolerance" policy for power interruptions. Industrial frequency UPS, with its built-in transformer providing strong electrical isolation and anti-interference capabilities, can effectively ensure the safe operation of equipment. Its ability to withstand voltage fluctuations is particularly crucial in the complex power grid environments of medical facilities.
The HIGHIDEA medical-specific industrial frequency UPS series adopts an isolation transformer design, keeping the zero-to-ground voltage within 1V, fully meeting the power supply requirements of sensitive medical equipment.
Data Centers: Efficiency and Density Take Precedence
High-frequency UPS dominate in data centers. After eliminating the industrial frequency transformer, their volume is reduced by 30%, and efficiency is increased to over 95%, significantly lowering operational costs. The new generation of modular high-frequency UPS supports hot-swapping and N+X redundancy, making them an ideal choice for flexible capacity expansion in data centers.
The HIGHIDEA modular high-frequency UPS employs intelligent power distribution technology, with a single cabinet power density of up to 480KVA. Combined with an AI energy efficiency management system, it reduces the PUE value by 0.15.
Industrial Environments: Withstanding Impacts Is Key
In factories, motors, compressors, and other equipment generate huge inrush currents when starting up. The SCR rectifier in industrial frequency UPS has an anti-impact capability more than four times that of IGBT devices, demonstrating significant reliability advantages in industrial scenarios with large voltage fluctuations and strong electromagnetic interference.
The HIGHIDEA industrial industrial frequency UPS series features a 12-pulse rectifier design, achieving an input power factor of 0.98, effectively suppressing harmonic pollution and protecting precision machining equipment.
Selection Decision Tree
- Healthcare: Prioritize industrial frequency UPS → Focus on isolation performance and zero-to-ground voltage.
- Data Centers: High-frequency UPS/Modular UPS → Emphasize efficiency and power density.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Mainly industrial frequency UPS → Strengthen anti-impact and power grid adaptability.
There is no absolute superiority or inferiority among technologies; the key lies in the wisdom of scenario adaptation. HIGHIDEA's all-scenario UPS solutions provide precise power protection for different critical businesses—because only uninterrupted protection can ensure a commitment to being always online.
