1 OVERVIEW

The ABB PCS100 UPS-I is a high performance high efficiency UPS system that ensures protection from power
quality events, enabling continuous power supply to modern industrial processes.
To supply continuous power during utility events the PCS100 UPS-I uses a modular energy storage and inverter
system.
The energy storage is either batteries or Ultracapacitors with the choice of technology dependent on the
autonomy required.
Battery systems can deliver autonomy up to several minutes.
Ultracapacitors provide seconds of autonomy (ride through time) for short power quality events, which are the
most common problems encountered.
Ultracapacitors have extremely high power density and long lifetime resulting in a very compact and low
maintenance solution.
Harsh electrical environments are often found in modern industry. The PCS100 UPS-I uses a robust high speed
power electronic disconnect switch to disconnect the utility from the load.
The modular inverter construction and fail-safe electromechanical bypass provides the highest system
availability.
Coupled with the small footprint and easy serviceability, this low maintenance, high efficiency industrial UPS is
the solution for all power protection applications.
