The increasing sophistication of Information Technology Equipment (IT) and automated industrial systems and their increased performance levels e.g. the speed of data processing, the real time interconnection of telecommunications systems, continuous and automated operation, etc. means that they are more and more vulnerable and dependent on their electrical power supply.
This electrical energy is distributed in a waveform making up a single and three phase sinusoidal system characterized by its:
1-Frequency,
2-Amplitude,
3-Shape (wave distortion),
4-System symmetry.
Whilst at the power station feeder, the voltage wave is virtually perfect, the same cannot be said by the time it reaches the user, where several different types of disturbances can be observed:
1-Transients,
2-Sags/brownouts,
3-Frequency variations,
4-Outage – blackouts…
The source of these disturbances which are related to power transmission and distribution and to both the atmospheric (storms, frost, wind, etc.) and the industrial environment (machine anomalies, polluting current consumers, network incidents, etc…).
Therefore, in spite of constant improvements to distribution networks and to the quality of the "electricity product", disturbances remain frequent and indeed it would not be economically viable, nor technically feasible to eliminate them completely.
The above stated disturbances cause production losses, deterioration of product quality, serious risks to people and property and even to the existence of the company, since studies show that one in two companies never recover from a serious IT system failure.
Remedies exist: ELECTRYS with its wide range of products manufactures standard and custom made units to overcome the electrical disturbances. The range of product includes:
1-Uninterruptible power supplies
2-Transformers and autotransformers
3-Voltage regulators and voltage stabilizers
4-Chargers and batteries
One of our concerns is also to manufacture “cost-effective” equipment from total cost of ownership view. Sometimes a slightly more expensive product costs much less due to the reliability and lifetime of the units.
The policy of ELECTRYS is “To provide the most reliable solution for the critical applications of our customers, from preliminary study, supply of equipment and up to maintenance contracts”.
The confidence of our customers is our support for continuous improvement. |
