Rack mount inverters for flexible power conversion
A complete range of 19 inch rack mount inverters is now available from Advance-Galatrek for computing, telecoms, marine and industrial applications
In fact, PowerElite's filters even continue to protect the load when the unit is in static bypass mode.
Either single- or three-phase input can be selected at the time of installation.
PowerElite offers wide-ranging protection against surges, sags and brownouts in the mains power supply.

UPS maintenance package with two-hour callout
Advance-Galatrek has launched a novel onsite UPS and DC power supply maintenance package aimed at organisations running both Advance-Galatrek and competitor UPS and DC systems.
Internet-based remote DC system controller
Advance-Galatrek has developed a new PowerPak DC rectifier system controller, capable of remote management when partnered by the company's latest range of DC standby power systems.
Three-phase rectifier delivers 48V at 100A
Advance-Galatrek has launched a three-phase-input DC rectifier, designed for use either as a stand-alone device, or in parallel with other units.
Each unit in the range can generate a stable sinewave output over a very wide input voltage range, without needing to resort to battery power.
In fact, PowerElite can still deliver high quality mains power down to 140V AC.
This level of control also translates to a superior ride through capability, enabling PowerElite units to cope with mains power failures of up to 40ms, without switching to battery power.
The latest MultiTec technology gives PowerElite UPSs the ability to adapt operation modes to match the sensitivity of their loads and the characteristics of the mains power supply.
Users can instruct the UPS to operate in either on-line or economy modes, or even enable the UPS to use its own SmartActive mode to select the most appropriate operating criteria from a set range of parameters.
PowerElite's online mode uses the inverter to power the load, delivering a continuous, stable, break-free, sinewave supply.
In economy mode, the MultiTec circuitry mimics the characteristics of a line interactive UPS, with the load being powered through dynamic filters.
This allows the inverter to remain active, but not powering the load, until a sudden fluctuation or failure occurs in the mains.
The result is overall efficiencies exceeding 98%, with a consequent reduction in overall wear and tear on the UPS assemblies - ideal for installations where the mains is relatively stable, or the load less critical.
As well as being virtually silent in operation, PowerElite UPSs incorporate front-end PFC circuitry, to achieve a true sinewave output.
Full microprocessor control provides each unit with the utmost in reliability and stability.
It also makes the UPS one of the most communicative in the marketplace, with an easy to use front panel keypad and LCD display.
For remote communications, there is an RS232 port, allowing easy integration into existing communications networks, using the PowerShield management software supplied with the UPS.
All PowerElite models are designed for easy and safe maintenance access.
Each model incorporates built-in automatic static and manual maintenance bypasses, with automatic or manual battery testing facilities.
External maintenance bypasses and dual-redundant switches are available to match each model.
All versions feature an integral battery, with the option of using additional battery packs or standby generators for extended run times.
