Schneider Electric has announced it has extended Easy UPS 3L from 250 kVA to 600 kVA (400 V) with the addition of 250, 300, and 400 kVA UPSes for external batteries. The Easy UPS 3L simplifies and streamlines configuration and service, delivering high availability and predictability to medium and large commercial buildings and light industrial UPS applications.
With its compact footprint, highly available parallel and redundant design, and robust electrical specifications, Easy 300UPS3L protects critical equipment from damage due to power outages, surges, and spikes. It is up to 96% efficient to bring predictability to utility costs. Easy UPS 3L includes a wide battery voltage window and accommodates a variety of battery configurations. It comes with a full range of options and accessories, making it easy to integrate into different environments.
“With this extension to Easy UPS 3L, Schneider Electric continues to fill a market need by offering easy, robust, and competitive solutions that prioritise efficiency and reliability for today’s connected businesses,” said Mustafa Demirkol, vice president, 3-Phase UPS Offer Management and Marketing, Schneider Electric. “Thanks to an exceptional combination of competitive specifications, robust and fault-tolerant design and an optimised footprint that saves valuable real estate, the Easy UPS 3L is the ideal choice for ease of business continuity and optimised investment, whether it’s on your shop floor or in your electrical room.”
Simple to configure, use, and service, Easy UPS 3L offers:
• Resilience against harsh environments with conformal coated printed circuit boards, replaceable dust filter, unity power factor, and strong overload protection.
• Less system complexity and savings on CapEx investment.
• Versatile architecture and paralleling for redundancy or for increased capacity. Users can install up to 5 UPSes in parallel for capacity, or 5+1 UPSes in parallel for redundancy. If a power block becomes inoperable, the load will continue to be supported by the remaining power blocks, provided that the load is below the capacity of the functional power blocks in the system.
• Easy monitoring and management with EcoStruxure IT’s cloud-based software suite when the optional network card is installed.
