The ZGR Tower Pro 6-10 KVA is an online single-phase UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) designed to provide reliable power protection for critical loads. This high-frequency UPS offers double conversion online technology, ensuring maximum efficiency and excellent electrical performance. It boasts a grid-friendly design, intelligent appearance, and compliance with regulations on safety and electromagnetic compatibility, making it suitable for international advanced level applications.
Function Description
The ZGR Tower Pro 6-10 KVA operates on a double-conversion online principle, meaning it continuously converts incoming AC power to DC, and then back to AC, providing a clean and stable output regardless of input fluctuations. This design ensures that the load is always supplied with high-quality power, isolated from disturbances on the utility line. In the event of a utility power failure, the UPS seamlessly transfers to battery power, providing uninterrupted operation.
Key components and their functions include:
- Input filter: Completes the input AC utility power to provide clean power for the UPS.
- AC/DC converter: Converts the filtered AC mains to DC power for the inverter and battery charger.
- DC/DC booster: When the UPS works in battery mode, the circuit boosts the DC for the AC/DC inverter.
- DC/AC inverter: Converts the boosted DC power to stable AC output.
- Bypass: When an overload or UPS failure occurs, it transfers power to the load directly from mains through an electronic switch.
- Charger: Charges the battery with intelligent power control. Standard units provide 1A; Long Backup Time (LBT) models provide up to 10A.
- Battery: Sealed Lead Acid Battery for backup power.
- Output filter: Output filtering board to provide clean power to the loads.
The UPS can be configured with up to 4 units in parallel, offering increased power capacity and redundancy for enhanced reliability. It also supports external battery cabinets (LBT versions) with reinforced battery chargers for extended backup times.
