Product catalog summary
Introduction
SIPOS actuators, when combined with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, offer enhanced safety and economic efficiency. These actuators are equipped with integrated frequency converters, making them suitable for use with UPS systems, ensuring high safety standards are met efficiently.
Specifications and Advantages
  • The starting current of SIPOS actuators is always less than or equal to the rated current, allowing the UPS to be sized according to the actuator's rated current, resulting in lower rated UPS systems.
  • Low energy consumption in standby mode, typically less than 100 mA.
  • Single-phase SIPOS actuators (~230 V) are compatible with proven single-phase UPS systems for most applications.
  • Variable output speed capability provides safety benefits such as independent high-speed operation in emergencies, minimized water hammer, and reduced valve damage through soft start and speed reduction.
Proven Technology
SIPOS actuators have demonstrated reliability over more than 10 years in various applications, utilizing robust three-phase asynchronous motors powered by a single-phase power supply.
Plant Protection and UPS Systems
  • UPS systems are crucial for ensuring plant operational safety, especially in sectors like flood protection, mining, and water supply.
  • Battery-powered UPS systems protect against power interruptions and voltage transients, enabling controlled shutdowns and safe valve positioning.
UPS Sizing and Custom Solutions
Correct UPS sizing is essential for safe actuator operation. SIPOS offers ready-made solutions for their actuators, and bespoke solutions can be designed for specific applications.
Applications and Installations
  • SIPOS actuators are used in various applications, including drinking water supply, wastewater treatment, and district heating systems across multiple countries.
  • Single-phase actuators can be powered by three-phase UPS systems for cost-effective fail-safe systems.
Technical Data
Example specifications for a single-phase UPS system include:
  • Voltage range: 160 – 294 V, Frequency: 47 – 70 Hz, Efficiency: > 94%.
  • Environmental data: Operational temperature range 0 – +40 °C, Relative humidity 20 – 95% non-condensing.

SIPOS UPS: Actuators with uninterruptible power supply (UPS)-2

Plant protection using UPS systems Whenever a high level of plant operational safety is required, actuator power supply failure must be considered as part of the planning process. As a result, the requirement for fail-safe actuation is now common in many sectors including flood protection, mining, drinking water supply, wastewater treatment and district heating. Typically, battery powered uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are adopted: these protect against both power supply interruption and voltage transients. Depending on the requirements, they enable: n controlled 'shut down' of the...

SIPOS UPS: Actuators with uninterruptible power supply (UPS)-3

Using single-phase SIPOS actuators with three-phase UPS systems SIPOS actuators, depending on the required positioning force or torque, are available for either single-phase (~ 230 V) or threephase (~ 400 V) operation. In this situation, single-phase actuators are assigned to the individual phases of the UPS system, subject to their power consumption. If the actuators are operated with a ~ 230 V supply then costeffective, single-phase UPS systems can be used. A three-phase UPS system can power several single and threephase actuators to provide a much more cost effective fail-safe system. If a...
