The UPS for those who need zero downtime
The ABB Concept power DPA 500 is a high-power, modular, and transformer-free UPS system with true online double-conversion technology, providing reliable and cost-effective zero downtime. It is the only modular UPS on the market that is easily scalable up to 3 MW of clean power and offers a Decentralized Parallel Architecture (DPATM), which eliminates potential single-points of failure with each module containing its own independent static bypass, rectifier, inverter, logic control, control panel, battery charger, and batteries.
