Socomec Sicon UPS expands Delphys MX range of UPS

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jul 18, 2005

Socomec Sicon UPS has expanded its ground-breaking Delphys MX range of UPS systems.

Socomec Sicon UPS has expanded its ground-breaking Delphys MX range of UPS systems to include a version with a graphic touch screen that gives users access the full range of functions for effortless operation.

The Delphys MX colour graphic touch screen provides a user friendly interface that gives safe operation of the UPS as well as a global overview of the system.

Direct access to the UPS's main functions is through the mimic menu and includes: status and control measurements, battery testing and UPS operation, interactive processes for automatic startup and transfer to the maintenance by pass, event logs and battery discharges, UPS operation statistics and battery charge duration, the configuration menu for the JBUS/MODBUS connection, language, date and time as well as access code to controls and configurations.

The MX is a user friendly, three phase UPS developed specifically for applications demanding higher reliability power protection.

Available in sizes from 250kVA to 500kVA (up to 3MVA in parallel), this compact new system has an extremely small footprint, operates without downgrading actual power and has been designed to supply applications with a capacitive power factor up to 0.9.

Its input power factor of close to 1 reduces input power consumption by 20% - giving considerable cost savings and increased battery service life.

An innovative charging regime, that uses an automatic self-adapting algorithm to respond to a battery's environmental conditions, reduces phenomena causing corrosion of the positive plates.

Like all models in the Delphys range, the MX utilises a "clean" rectifier to ensure an extremely low harmonic re-injection.

It has a smaller footprint and integrates the latest generation of Digital Signal Processor (DSP), micro-controller and SMD electronic boards, reducing the number of components and improving Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).

The complete Delphys range is available in a wide range of configurations designed to meet every requirement in terms of security, availability and ease of expansion.

The new system is compatible with Socomec's Static Transfer Switches (LTM and IT SWITCH) and easily supplies and manages non-linear loads without performance deviations.
