Solidstate Controls Earns UL And CUL Certification For Its 3DPP Series Of Processpower® UPS Products
COLUMBUS, OH— AMETEK Solidstate Controls has received UL and CUL certification for its 3DPP Series of Digital ProcessPower ® Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. Although the 3DPP Series was designed with user safety in mind and built in accordance with UL/CUL specifications, certification ensures 3DPP Series users the added integrity and increased peace of mind that comes with the UL/CUL label.
Prior to certification, Solidstate relied upon third party certification services to satisfy the requirements of placing UL/CUL labels on its equipment. The new certification offers a more economical solution for Solidstate clients and applies to the 10–50 kVA models in standard input and output voltage combinations, which cover greater than 90% of 3DPP Series’ current client base.
The 3DPP Series is part of Solidstate’s ProcessPower ® family of UPS products. It is a true, on-line double-conversion system providing clean, regulated, continuous power for critical AC loads. The 3DPP utilizes a state- of-the-art digitally controlled Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) inverter design that offers advanced communications and control capability.
The 3DPP Series is ideally suited for the needs of the chemical, offshore, process control, power generation, and petrochemical industries. Its design incorporates input and output isolation transformers, a dual-source, fully controlled and rated static switch and a customer-specified internal or remote manual bypass switch.
Each unit includes a man-machine interface panel with LCD touch screen that enables continuous monitoring of system status and displays the status via an operational mimic diagram on the LCD panel. User friendly system “Help” buttons and system messages are strategically placed to describe and define menu key functions and displayed data. The menu- driven touch screen is password protected against unauthorized or inadvertent access.
Located directly beneath the display screen is a system interface keypad that provides control of all critical UPS functions, eliminating the reliance on the touch screen for basic operational control of the UPS system. The system’s serial (Db9) communications capabilities allow users access to advanced system diagnostic features as well as make system adjustments. System reports include information on system voltage, current and frequency, as well as active and historical alarm events, and battery discharge activity. Solidstate has administrative and manufacturing operations at its 875 Dearborn Drive, Columbus, Ohio, location. All of its products are marketed through an independent network of manufacturer’s representatives and distributors in the United States and 27 foreign countries. Solidstate’s commitment to the customer service continues long after the sale with a worldwide network of skilled, experienced field service technicians available for UPS installation, start-up, on-site service, and training.
