Often generated by normal computer operation, noise
triggers a range of problems including incorrect data
transfer, printing errors, keyboard/mouse/monitor lockups, program crashes, data corruption, even damage to
computer power supplies.

SAGS
These short term, low voltage brownouts are triggered
by the startup of large loads, mains switching etc. In
addition to causing system crashes, sags can damage
hardware.

SURGES/SWELLS
With voltages above 110% of normal, surges can be
triggered by rapid reduction in power requirements, due
to large loads being turned off, or by mains switching.
The result: hardware damage.

LIEBERT HIPULSE UPS

FOR SYSTEM WIDE PROTECTION
No matter what equipment you are using, if continuity of use
is imperative, then security of the electrical power supply
should be provided by a Liebert Hipulse UPS system. It will
solve all your power disturbance problems, and when
complemented by other Liebert power products, e.g.
transient voltage surge suppressors, static bus transfer
switches, and other load bus reliability solutions, the Hipulse
UPS provides the best solution to achieving fault tolerant
power supplies.
Designed to support critical loads, the Hipulse space-saving
design can fit in to most environments and will satisfy
acceptable noise requirements. As a static UPS system, the
Hipulse is an excellent choice for supplying unbalanced loads,
and its performance for supplying non-linear loads is
unsurpassed in the UPS industry. It is capable of providing
conditioned power instantly to the continually changing, even
transient levels of power demand common with most
networks and industrial operations.
DESIGNED TO PROTECT CRITICAL SYSTEMS IN A
VARIETY OF KEY APPLICATIONS
Mainframe and super-mini computer systems
Telecommunication centres
Major LAN and WAN critical systems
Data centres, including RAID arrays
