Performance power management for applications requiring shipboard
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".
