A compact innovative power protection solution
Ensuring permanent power supply to electrical infrastructure for business continuity whilst reducing the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is a main concern for data centres. LI-ION BATTERY UPS – Socomec’s latest innovative UPS solution – provides reliable back-up power availability in a reduced footprint, with extended life time and reduced maintenance.
Permanent monitoring of your batteries for extended service life
W-BMS, the SOCOMEC Battery Monitoring System, is an effective battery monitoring solution which maximizes the availability of the supply in applications where power continuity is vital.
Because 75 % of uninterruptible power supply (back-up power supply) system breakdowns are down to batteries, the reliability of these components is a key feature of your electrical system. Therefore, accurate, detailed monitoring of their operating condition is vital. This actually guarantees maximum continuity of the supply to the system’s critical loads, loads which cannot tolerate even a brief interruption let alone a prolonged power cut.
A tailored power protection solution during downtime
VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries are lead batteries with a sealed safety valve container for releasing excess gas in the event of internal overpressure. Their development was aimed at limiting the emission of hydrogen into the atmosphere and to avoid the use of liquid electrolyte. The liquid electrolyte is replaced by gel electrolyte (GEL technology) or absorbed inside the separators (AGM technology) to prevent acid leaking.
Sealed batteries do not allow for water to be added to the electrolyte, therefore the evaporation of the water contained in the electrolyte, due for example to high room temperatures or internal heating as a result of charging/discharging cycles, decreases their lifetime.
