Performance power management for

power
Safely Launch Shipboard
Electronics with Smart-UPS. The Naval Safety
Center reports most commercial electric equipment
is unsuitable for use in the Navy's
ungrounded shipboard power system (Ref:
COMNAVSAFECEN NORFOLK VA 280836FEB94). As the
market leader in the UPS industry, American Power
Conversion decided to resolve the safety issue,
and develop the Smart-UPS Shipboard Series. This
is a modified COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) UPS
specifically designed to operate safely aboard
ships and submarines. NSWCCD-SSES Philadelphia
tested this unit to ensure it met all the navy
shipboard electrical safety standards.
Additionally, this unit meets DC resistance
requirements IAW NSTM Chapter 300 and MIP 3000.
(NAVSURFWARCEN 151800ZNOV94)
The Smart-UPS Shipboard Series includes a
double-pole circuit breaker that will protect
lines from overload and a double-pole power
switch to insure the attached load is completely
removed from the input power lines. These are
necessary because a ship generates Delta power
causing both power lines to be
"hot".
