It is essential to have an uninterrupted power supply, and particularly through a critical seven minute period during procedures, when power loss would leave the surgeon blind to the position of the catheter within the artery.
The Delphys Elite, which was specified by Engineering Services Design Practice of Redditch, offers the ideal solution for medical applications providing a reliable and secure power supply.
It was one of the first UPS systems to feature an IGBT rectifier for extremely low harmonic re-injection, a THDi of less than 3% (without filters) and a power factor (PF) 0.99.
This ensures it will not interfere with the integrity of sensitive equipment.
The Delphys Elite family includes three phase modules covering six power ratings ranging from 60 to 200kVA.
It complies with IEC61000-3-4, performs to IEC62040-3 EMC meets EN50091-2 and IEC62040-2 and complied with safety standards EN50091-1-2 and IEC62040-1-2.
