Flexus 10kVA - 20kVA

Absolute Protection

The Flexus series is suitable for protecting all IT and telecommunications systems, information networks and critical systems in general. The Flexus series is available in 10, 12, 15 and 20 kVA three-phase input and output models, with double conversion on-line technology according to the VFI-SS-111 classification as defined by IEC EN 62040-3. Flexus has been designed and produced with state-of-art technologies and components in order to guarantee maximum protection, no impact on the supply mains and energy savings.

Zero impact on Source

Thanks to the technology used, Flexus can solve issues that often arise with installations where the supply mains has a limited installed power, where the UPS is powered by a generator set or where there are problems of compatibility with loads that generate current harmonics. The following features enable the Flexus range to have zero impact on the power supply source, be it utility mains or a generator set:

Battery Care System

Management of the batteries is fundamental to guaranteeing operation of the power supply unit under emergency conditions. The Battery Care System manages the batteries to obtain the best performance and to extend battery life.

Battery Recharge

Flexus is suitable for working with hermetically sealed (VRLA), AGM and GEL lead batteries, and Nickel-Cadmium batteries. Depending on the battery type, various recharge methods are available:

Recharge Voltage Temperature Compensation in order to avoid excessive charging and battery overheating.
Battery Test in order to detect performance falloff or battery failure in good time.
Deep Discharge Protection: in the case of long low-load discharges, the end-of-discharge voltage is increased as recommended by the battery manufacturers in order to avoid damage to or a performance drop of the batteries.
Ripple Current: the recharge ripple current (residual AC component) is one of the most important causes that reduce battery reliability and life.

Flexus, thanks to the high-frequency battery charger, reduces this value to negligible levels, extending battery life and maintaining high performance for a long time.

Wide voltage range: the rectifier is designed to be operated with a wide range input voltage range (up to -40% with half load), reducing the need to discharge the batteries and, as a result, extending battery life.

Low Management Cost

• High efficiency of up to 94% permits 33% savings in dissipated energy compared to similar products present on the market (with an average performance of 91%).
• Output power factor of 0.9 provides up to 15% more active power compared to a normal commercial UPS, guaranteeing the greatest margin in sizing of the UPS for further load increases.

Flexibility

Flexus can be used for a wide range of applications:

• Suitable for powering capacitive loads such as blade servers, without any reduction of the active power, from 0.9 leading to 0.9 lagging
• Modes of operation: On Line, Eco, Smart Active and Stand By Off
• Frequency converter mode
• Power Share sockets that can be configured in order to maintain back-up time for the most critical loads or to be activated only when the mains fails
• Cold Start allows the UPS to switch on without utility mains being present
• Battery cabinets of various dimensions and capacity, for longer back-up times
• Optional temperature sensor for external battery cabinets, for recharge voltage compensation
• Additional battery chargers to optimize recharge times
• Optional dual utility mains input
• Isolation transformers to modify the neutral arrangements, for separate sources or galvanic isolation between input and output.

Advanced Communication

Flexus is equipped with a graphic display that provides management and status information that is available in five languages.

• Advanced multiplatform communication, for most operating systems and network environments.
• Compatible with PowerNetGuard for the remote assistance service
• 3 communication slots for optional accessories such as network adapters, volt-free contacts, etc.
• REPO (Remote Emergency Power Off) emergency power down by a remote pushbutton
• Input connection for auxiliary contact of an external manual bypass
• Input for synchronization from an external source
• Graphic mimic panel display for remote operator panel support
