German supplier AEG Power Solutions announced a range of modular based UPS models branded the the Protect 8. line.

The firm is taking the approach of making each UPS specific to customer requirements.

The initial version launched by AEG Power Solutions is the Protect 8. 31, an industrial double-conversion model offering three input phases and one output phase.

“In designing the Protect 8. generation, we built upon the know-how and technology developed for the Protect 5 UPS family to achieve even-higher levels of reliability,” said Luca Buscherini, UPS Protect Family Line Manager, AEG Power Solutions, Belecke, Germany.

“Protect 8. UPS are customer-ized. This means that, thanks to our innovative building block approach, each customer gets precisely what they are looking for, in terms of mechanical protection, input and output voltages, battery type and autonomy and desired documentation,” he added.

Each Protect 8. UPS is built by assembling and configuring the particular rectifier, inverter and bypass modules exactly suited to each customer’s specific requirements. Thanks to this modular approach, Protect 8. systems offer exceptionally easy and rapid maintenance; any module can be quickly replaced if necessary, it said. 

The company said the modular approach means it can assemble, configure, test and deliver systems in weeks rather than months.
