Electric Power continuous power solutions POWER QUALITY AND PROTECTION SYSTEMS

STARTING WITH A SOLID FOUNDATION All Caterpillar power quality systems begin with the Cat UPS with flywheel energy storage. The Cat UPS provides immediately available power to ride through disturbances and conditions power from the source. When integrated with other Caterpillar products – which include generator sets, automatic transfer switch (ATS) and switchgear – you can be assured of the cleanest, most reliable source of power protection. Most importantly, the Cat UPS is backed by the solid Caterpillar reputation that comes from more than 75 years of building the best engines and power...

Cat UPS with Flywheel Technology Power Protection Plus Like other UPS systems, the Cat UPS works by storing enough energy to ride through power disturbances such as dips or surges in voltage and/or current. Match the UPS with a Cat generator set to provide long-term backup during an outage or extended power reliability situation. What sets the Cat UPS apart is how the power is provided. The Cat UPS uses a highly power dense integrated flywheel to store energy. The stored power is immediately available for delivery to a critical load during a power disturbance. This system provides ample...

Size and Installation Maintenance Reliability Longevity Energy Efficiency Temperature Traditional Battery UPS Large, bulky, space intensive.May require separate battery room, dedicated HVAC. Frequent inspection, terminal cleaning, connection tightening, voltage measurement and more. Batteries are estimated to cause 70 percent of unpredictable failures in UPS systems. Batteries hold less charge with each use and need periodic replacement. 90 to 93 percent efficient. Requires special heating or cooling equipment to maintain specified temperature. Cat UPS Requires only 1/4 of the floor space...

Manufacturing drugs to fight cancer and infectious diseases is a precise business that requires a reliable, continuous power source, so the Chiron Corporation takes its power needs very seriously. The Emeryville, Californiaheadquartered pharmaceutical company’s production facilities are regulated by the FDA and must adhere to specific rules in sterile fill areas. Several of these restrictions involve water circulation and clean airflow. “A minor power glitch, even one as short as a fraction of a second, stops the pumps that circulate the water,” says Hellmuth Zieleniewicz, Chiron Life...

Match the Cat UPS with a Cat generator set to provide long-term backup during an outage or extended power reliability situation. Making a Perfect Match Compatibility between UPS systems and standby generator sets can be challenging due to the inconsistency of UPS filters and power electronics. Caterpillar has solved these issues by designing the UPS to work with the generator set from the start. Coupling the Cat UPS with a generator set ensures proper sizing and synchronization. Line noise and generator heating are also less of an issue because the contributed total harmonic distortion is...

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT By eliminating batteries from the UPS, Caterpillar has created a power quality solution that poses no safety hazards to personnel or the environment. There are no toxic chemicals needed for its operation, no material disposal concerns and no special HVAC or ventilation requirements to address the buildup of heat or harmful/volatile fumes that can be associated with lead acid batteries.

TOTAL SYSTEM INTEGRATION MADE EASY All Caterpillar products are designed to work together, from ATS products to the exclusive family of Cat generator control switchgear products. All elements relating to generator set production, control and monitoring function are integrated into a single-source package.
