Richardson RFPD is Now Delivering Maxwell Technologies' Breakthrough
Ultracapacitor Solution for UPS Systems
- Provides up to 10kW of ride-through and bridge power
August
22, 2011 – LaFox, Illinois: Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces that it is delivering 56-volt ultracapacitor
modules designed specifically to address the short-term ride-through and bridge power requirements of
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. These modules are needed for mission-critical UPS installations
including data centers, hospitals, semiconductor fabrication plants, other large industrial power users, and
telecommunication facilities.
Key features of the
BMOD0130P056B03 include: · 56V, 130F ultracapacitor module
· Series-connectable (up to 750 Volts) · Standard 4U height for rack mounting · 14-year lifetime,
virtually maintenance free, in typical UPS applications · Lower cost of ownership (higher ROI) compared with
lead-acid battery solutions · Over-voltage alarm · UL-Registered component Maxwell developed its
new module to help UPS designers best mitigate the adverse effects of brief power disturbances (<1 second typical
duration) on sensitive digital systems, especially those used in medical, financial and manufacturing
environments. In the UPS industry, this is known as “ride-through” power capability. For longer term power
disturbances or outages, these ultracapacitor modules can be used to provide up to 60 seconds of bridge power,
which in turn allows the given UPS system to seamlessly switch-in a generator or other long-term backup power
source (ex. fuel cell power generating system), thus keeping power available 100 percent of the time. The
BMOD0130P056B03 unit and its datasheet are available now on
the Richardson RFPD website. The products are also available by calling 1-800-737-6937 (within North America);
