Introduction

The MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides the energy supply for critical loads
which need a reliable, continuous free from voltage disturbances and frequency fluctuations supply.
In case the power provided by the Utility Fails, or exceeds the permitted tolerances, the power to supply the Load
is provided by the Battery for the specified time at the rated Load (or longer at a reduced Load) or until the Utility
power returns.
MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 is a truly VFI double conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS),
equipped with automatic bypass, where the Load is normally supplied by the Inverter.
If the Inverter is not able to supply the required Output Voltage, or when overload or short-
circuit on the output occur, the Load is instantly transferred to the Utility via the Automatic
Bypass.
The UPS automatically returns to normal mode when the failure condition is restored.
MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 can be configured, if chosen, for the eBoost™ Operation Mode (Option
- High efficiency: up to 99.0% / Fast power transfer: <2ms) permitting maximum energy saving.
Key features of the MegaFlex 1000 to 1600
More Critical equipment supported
Rated at 1 Power Factor, MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 delivers more real power than other UPS in the market.
With today's trend toward power factor corrected loads, MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 can support more total Load
than any other UPS available, allowing you to support a greater number of today's enterprise computing Power
Factor Corrected (PFC) equipment.
High Efficiency
Thanks to type Advanced Neutral Point Clamped three level IGBT technology, MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 guarantees a
high overall performance.
Intelligent Energy Management (IEM) combined with RPA, results in the most cost efficient and reliable UPS
solution in the industry.
Fully digital
Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Flash memory and Advanced Neutral Point Clamped are the technology corner
stones of a new age of power quality and power reliability.
RPA™ - Redundant Parallel Architecture™ Parallel System
ABB provides a unique technology called Redundant Parallel Architecture™ (RPA™) that can parallel
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) modules with true redundancy.
With RPA™, there is no need for external electronics or switches to control the UPS modules in the parallel system.
One of the UPS modules in the system arbitrarily takes a leadership role, while the other UPS modules have access
to all control parameters.
If one UPS fails to operate, the load is automatically redistributed among the others.
If the lead UPS fails to operate then a different UPS automatically takes on the leadership role.
The RPA™ systems are designed to have no single points of failure, ensuring the highest level of power protection
for critical loads.
Extremely flexible
Tailor made power protection to meet your individual installation requirements; MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 offers
various options like EMC filter and our comprehensive software for mission control and data protection to cover
all your application needs.
