Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

Protecting your business with continuous power.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies

Protecting your business with continuous power and maximising resilience. Suitable for industries such as data centres, industrial manufacturing and special applications (renewable energy, marine and rail).

Challenges with Power

Think your data and equipment are safe just because the lights stay on? Think again. While blackouts grab headlines, surges, spikes, dips, and brownouts are far more frequent threats that can silently wreak havoc on your critical systems.

Unpredictable weather and renewable energy are stressing the grid, while even normal office equipment (lifts, ACs) can cause harmful fluctuations. The grid doesn't guarantee "clean" power, but a UPS delivers constant, reliable, safe electricity, protecting your:

Data: Safeguard critical information from corruption and loss.
Operations: Avoid costly downtime and productivity disruptions.
Equipment: Extend the lifespan of your valuable electronics.

Mitigate the risks associated with potential disruptions and maximise operational resilience
