GE Double Conversion Benefit
Dbl Conv Mode Eff up to 97% Eco Mode Eff up to 99%
Line Interactive Eff up to 97%
GE Flexibility in Operating Modes maximizes operating efficiency
High Input Power Factor, 0.98-0.99
Input Power Factor dependent on Input Voltage & Load Example: 400VAC/0.90pf Load = 0.99pf Input 430VAC/0.90pf Load = 0.70pf Input
Constant High Input Power Factor to maximize sizing of Input Feeder
Insensitive to frequency drift by the standby generator. Frequency held at 60HZ
Issues with frequency drift of generator. Will deplete Flywheel energy if outside preset limits
Frequency kept at 60HZ. Does not require FW energy to operate when outside preset limits
Wide Input Voltage Range before switching to DC Energy support
Narrow Input Voltage Range (+10, -15%) before switching to DC Energy support
Less reliance on Flywheel /Batteries so component life is extended Page 32
Flywheel UPS Design Comparison – Key Benefits GE Double Conversion UPS w/External Flywheel
Line Interactive UPS w/Integrated Flywheel
GE UPS w/External Flywheel
UPS w/Internal-Integrated Flywheel
Key Benefit of GE Flywheel UPS
Can take Flywheel in parallel bank off-line without affecting overall UPS operation
Must take down entire UPS System
More Maintenance Flexibility
No downtime for Flywheel Preventative Maintenance
Must use Utility Bypass for Flywheel Maintenance
Zero downtime for PMs No need to go to Bypass.
Add Flywheels for capacity or redundancy at any time
Must add entire UPS module to get additional runtime, as Flywheels are integral
System Cost and Footprint savings
Operate Flywheel in parallel with Batteries for system hardening and extended support time
Cannot add batteries
Battery Hardening prolongs battery life; Redundant DC energy storage.
