Offering a 15-minute runtime at full load, this three-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) ensures business continuity during power disruptions. This blog dives into the key features, technical specifications, and benefits of the E3SUPS40KHB1, highlighting why it’s an excellent choice for organizations seeking robust power protection.
Key Features of the Easy UPS 3S 40 kVA
The APC Easy UPS 3S 40 kVA is designed for ease of use, reliability, and efficiency, with advanced features that cater to diverse business needs. Here’s a closer look at its standout attributes:
1. High-Efficiency Double-Conversion Topology
The UPS employs a double-conversion online topology, converting incoming AC power to DC and back to AC to deliver clean, stable power. This ensures protection against power surges, sags, and outages, with an output voltage distortion of less than 3% and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 3% for linear loads, making it ideal for sensitive equipment.
2. 15-Minute Runtime with Internal Batteries
Equipped with internal modular battery strings, the E3SUPS40KHB1 provides a 15-minute runtime at full load, allowing critical systems to remain operational during brief power outages or until a backup generator activates. The modular battery design supports scalability, enabling additional battery strings for extended runtime if needed.
3. Simplified Installation and Maintenance
The Easy UPS 3S is engineered for user-friendly setup and upkeep:
- Compact and Lightweight Design: Facilitates quick installation by allowing the UPS to be rolled into position, saving time and space.
- Front-Access Servicing: Simplifies maintenance by providing easy access to components, reducing downtime and space requirements.
- Intuitive Graphical Interface: The user-friendly interface enables straightforward system configuration and monitoring, even for non-technical users.
4. Robust Design for Challenging Environments
Built to perform in demanding conditions, the UPS includes:
- Replaceable Dust Filters: Protects internal components from dust, ensuring reliability in dusty environments.
- Conformance-Coated Boards: Enhances durability in harsh conditions, such as high humidity or chemical exposure.
5. Energy-Saving ECO Mode
The ECO Mode optimizes energy efficiency by bypassing unused electrical components during stable power conditions, achieving up to 99% efficiency without compromising protection. This reduces operational costs while maintaining reliable power delivery.
6. Remote Monitoring Capabilities
With an optional SNMP card, the UPS supports remote monitoring and management via a web interface or Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT software suites. This feature is crucial for IT administrators overseeing multiple systems across different locations.
7. Wide Input Voltage Range
The UPS operates within a wide input voltage range (304–477 V), minimizing battery usage during minor voltage fluctuations. This preserves battery life for critical situations, such as power outages, enhancing overall reliability.
8. Parallel Capability
For scalability, the Easy UPS 3S supports parallel operation, allowing multiple units to be connected to increase power capacity or provide redundancy, ensuring flexibility for growing businesses.
