CHAPTER 1CHAPTER 1SG Series UPS - OverviewTrue Regenerative On-Line DesignAs new and innovative technologies have become the backbone of today's businesses,maximum system availability is critical and downtime is more expensive than ever. Increasingly,businesses need a UPS that not only protects against blackouts, but also virtually eliminatesmore frequent and subtle power disturbances. Surges, sags, line noise and brownouts candisrupt proper operation of sensitive equipment. These disturbances may also createunnecessary production, service, and data recovery costs.A True Regenerative On-Line UPS provides the highest level of protection against the widestspectrum of power problems. The incoming AC utility source is converted to a regulated DCvoltage. From this DC voltage, a new AC voltage is regenerated, providing continuous, clean,tightly regulated power to your equipment. Line-interactive and Off-line designs leave yourequipment connected directly to dirty utility power. They only provide minimal transient, voltageand backup protection. If your equipment operation is "Mission Critical", a true doubleconversion On-Line UPS, such as Falcon ® Electric's SG Series TM UPS Plus ®, is the only clearchoice.Input Power Factor CorrectionAll SG Series UPS Plus models include state-of-the-art Input Power Factor Correction. Thisgreatly reduces the amount of current demanded from your building wiring system, yielding ahighly efficient, "building friendly" UPS.Microprocessor ControlFalcon Electric's SG Series UPS incorporates advanced microprocessor technology. Thistechnology makes possible a high level of internal UPS control and management. With thesupplied UPSILON ® software, all SG Series UPS models support unattended shutdown,management, data logging, and self-diagnostics.
