Legrand’s extensive range of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems encompasses solutions designed especially for the protection of data in small offices, commercial environments and home applications. “Niky and Niky S UPS single phase systems, which ensure a safe and reliable power supply from 600 to 3000 VA, have been developed by Legrand for quick installation and easy configuration,” says marketing and pricing manager, Sonja Leibbrandt. “These compact microprocessor controlled UPS systems have an electronic automatic voltage regulator (AVR), an intelligent communication interface and integrated self-diagnostics, to provide reliable protection of the installation.”
Other features include a cold start function, an RS-232 or USB interface and modem/LAN telephone protection. Buttons and LED signalling provide real-time control of the status of the UPS system. Niky line interactive UPS – single phase VI systems, with IEC multi-socket outlets and a pseudo-sinusoidal waveform, offer a backup time between 5 and 30 minutes. They also offer advanced management according to battery discharge level.
They have a sinusoidal waveform output, excellent voltage regulation and intelligent battery management to offer protection against voltage peaks, as well as overload and short-circuit protection. The backup time, which is either eight or nine minutes, is measured under optimum operating conditions. A range of communications accessories has been designed for managing and configuring the UPS, as well as for remote control of the system.
