Such as: Data Center IDC; Power distribution in key links of national defense; Railway; Highway; Municipal engineering; Social security facilities; High-quality CNC industrial manufacturing base; Large-scale urban infrastructure and all places needing no interruptive power distribution guarantees. 2. eUPS's Peculiarities Suntrans ControlTMs’ Patent The innovative product "electric-type UPS" adopts Suntrans ControlTMs’ patented technology (patent number ZL201510607734.0) AC zero-point-crossing precise high-speed measurement and control technology to realize the split-phase or single-phase collaborative control of the power contactor. In the context of zero transition, the high performance realizes the non-inductive switching between two or more power supply circuits and realizes uninterrupted power supply on the power side with high reliability, high stability, and ultra-large capacity, which is of great significance for improving power security in all walks of life. Electric Load Balance As a new member of Suntrans ControlTM's "power Internet of Things, electricity stage intelligence" “ electrical-type UPS, not only can complete the power uninterruptible power supply UPS ability but also a major technological breakthrough to achieve power load balance between multiple transformers, power UPS will be intelligent according to the load rate of multiple power transformers, to achieve the intelligent transfer of power load between multiple transformers, to ensure the balance of supply and demand of power supply, effectively reduce the risk of power system operation, reduce the loss of power transformers, and on a broader range. Through the Electrical-type UPS, the load transfer between the three phases of the power can be realized, the symmetry of the dynamic three-phase power can be realized, the power supply and power quality of the power distribution side can be improved, the loss caused by the three-phase asymmetry can be significantly reduced, and various potential safety hazards caused by the three-phase power asymmetry can be eliminated. AC Zero-crossing On-off and Break-off The company's invention patent technology adopts the AC zero-crossing on-off and break-off function so that the switching life of the electric UPS can be extended hundreds of times, and the power arc burning and impact caused by the conventional breaking of the load electrical appliance and itself are avoided. "Five in one" Intelligent Module It is an intelligent module integrating measurement, control, protection, programming, and communication. By embedding the measuring unit, the load and channel status can be monitored online with a measurement accuracy of 0.5%. On/off switching can be achieved by intelligent selection or manual button operation. The RS-485-communication module or WIFI wireless module is embedded, which can realize information interaction, remote control, and the networking of massive, intelligent switches. It can not only be programmed according to the requirements to complete the specified work but also through the communication system, the sequential on-off control and program management control of many loads can be realized. At the same time, to ensure safety, over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current protection programs are embedded in the controller. High Capacity The high-capacity uninterruptible power supply with a capacity of up to 600kVA is a high-quality solution that does not require batteries once and for all, thus reducing the enormous costs and huge expenses required for regular batteries. Security and Reliability Guarantee A third circuit can be added to connect to the local generator, which can be activated as a hot standby when one circuit is powered down or overhauled. In the event of a sudden failure, the load can be automatically switched from one power supply of the circuit to another standby power supply to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the critical load and that the switching time is fast. The double-loop non-inductive switching can be completed in 30-60ms, with solid reliability and a successful switching rate of 99.9999%. It can dynamically control the load of the whole life cycle online and switch between the power grid and solar, wind, and wave energy at the level of high-speed and non-inductive UPS, with a speed of 22Hz, to maintain continuous and stable power consumption. Digitization Highly reliable, safe, and economical, the Electrical-type UPS is embedded with all digital functions to achieve decisive edge computing, real-time measurement, online protection, and Internet of Things communication. It will build a new power distribution system with high-performance independent intellectual property products.

Extended Switch Life Make use of the invention patent technology, AC zero-crossing point on-off control, guaranteed in the zero transition state when switching in the dual electrical supply, that is, no arc on, off, is a high-performance controller technology that follows Tesla's invention of alternating current 130 years after the power technology power contactor gets rid of the "arc," which fundamentally solves the problem of arc impact on power load and grid harmonic interference, and the life of the contactor is no longer burned by the arc. Still, it reaches the foundation's mechanical life, extending the power switch's life by more than 200 times. No battery required Different from the current uninterruptible power supply UPS, it is a power electronic product relying on an electrochemical energy storage battery as a backup power supply, so it is challenging to achieve high-power, long-term power guarantee, especially the life of the battery, generally needs to be replaced every three years to ensure safe UPS power supply, which is undoubtedly a consumable long-term expenditure, but also means enormous carbon emissions and environmentally unfriendly equipment.
