Robust operation in demanding industrial environments
Industrial facilities need a power supply that can handle poor grid quality, high inrush currents, and variable loads. Motors, LED lighting, process equipment, and automation create rapid changes in power consumption. This challenges traditional UPS solutions. Proper sizing and the right technologies ensure stable operation, reduce the risk of downtime, and provide better control of production processes.
Typical setup for industry
A typical setup for industry consists of UPS solutions and energy storage that can withstand demanding operating conditions. This includes:
- Riello NXE with high efficiency
- Transformer-based UPS units such as MHT and MHE
- Super Caps for short dips and frequent voltage drops
- Monitoring of load and power quality
- Support for motor operation, LED loads, and non-linear loads
This combination provides a robust and reliable system for production environments and industrial installations.
Riello NXE
NXE delivers high efficiency and stable operation in industry where loads are steady and efficiency requirements are high. The technology provides low energy loss, precise control, and good voltage regulation. NXE is used in process industry, automation, robotics, and production lines that need predictable power supply. The high efficiency reduces energy use and lowers heat in technical rooms.
Transformer-based solutions: MHT and MHE
MHT and MHE provide unique robustness when power quality is weak or unstable. Transformer-based UPS units offer several important benefits:
- Galvanic isolation that protects the equipment
- High short-circuit strength that can handle heavy motor starts
- Stable voltage under varying grid quality
- Good handling of LED loads and non-linear loads
MHE provides higher efficiency than MHT, but both are known for solid operation and high tolerance. This makes them suitable for industry where grid faults and harmonic disturbances are common.
Demanding load types
Industrial loads create challenges that require robust UPS systems. Motors draw high inrush current, and LED lighting produces non-linear load that affects voltage quality. Electronic loads can also cause rapid swings in consumption. Transformer-based UPS units stabilize the voltage and deliver the correct power regardless of load type. This provides safe operation during machine start-ups, lighting control, and process control.
Super Caps
Super Caps are supercapacitors that deliver energy quickly without chemical storage. This makes them well suited for facilities that experience short voltage drops, small interruptions, and frequent load changes.
Advantages of Super Caps:
- High efficiency
- Extremely many cycles over the lifetime
- Fast response during short dips
- Reduced wear on traditional batteries
- Support for motor starts and demanding loads
Super Caps provide stable operation in environments where batteries would otherwise wear out quickly.
Industrial operational reliability
A combination of NXE, MHT or MHE, and Super Caps provides a power supply that is well suited to industrial conditions. The systems deliver stable operation for production lines, automation, motor control, and process equipment that responds directly to power quality. Choosing the right energy source reduces the risk of unexpected stops and outages with major consequences for production. With continuous monitoring, you have full visibility of the facility at all times, which further reduces risk.
Takeaway
Industrial facilities need robust and stable UPS solutions. NXE delivers high efficiency and precise control. MHT and MHE provide unique tolerance under poor grid quality and heavy motor starts. Super Caps provide fast response during short voltage drops and protect the batteries. Together, this provides a safe power supply that ensures stable operation in demanding industrial environments.
