Your challenge:
Active protection to reduce the impact of an Arc

Arc flashes are always a risk in facilities where electric power usage is high. Although, for the most part, passive protection for vital components of data centers like UPS battery systems is considered sufficient, an active protection system for increased safety of equipment is also necessary.

Your solution

BATTERY SYSTEMS

Battery systems are an essential part of UPSs and an active measure protection, which reduces the arc flash energy, is essential if you want to keep Data Centers running, increase personnel and equipment safety, lower repair costs, and avoid downtime.

Maximum protection
Protect personnel and minimize the risk of injuries.

Maximized uptime
Reduced downtime, equipment damage and recovery costs.

Maximum peace of mind
Rely on pre-configured and pre-tested ABB applications.
