A stable power supply is extremely important in the modern business environment. In particular, in places such as factories and data centers where an interruption in the power supply can have a significant impact, it is necessary to use Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) as a countermeasure.
However, risk management in the unlikely event that the UPS itself fails can be a blind spot.
This is where the "parallel redundant type UPS" comes in. In this article, we will explain the basics of parallel redundant type UPS, its benefits, and our related series in detail.
A "parallel redundant system" is a system in which two or more UPS units with parallel operation function are connected in parallel, as opposed to a normal single-unit UPS, so that in the unlikely event that a UPS unit fails, the other UPS units can continue to supply power. This significantly improves the reliability of the power supply.
For example, by connecting three UPS units in parallel, even if one unit breaks down, the remaining two units can continue to supply power, improving the reliability of the entire system.
A parallel redundant type UPS not only provides reliability by protecting against the risk of the UPS itself failing, but also offers a variety of other benefits.
By running two or more UPS Inverter units with parallel operation function in parallel, even if a UPS fails, the other UPS Inverter units can continue to supply power, significantly improving the reliability of the power supply.
Facilities where a power outage could cause severe damage, such as a factory's central monitoring system, instrumentation system, process computer, or server room, require a highly reliable UPS such as a parallel redundant type.
With a parallel redundant type UPS, you can increase the power supply capacity of the entire system by adding UPS units as needed. This allows you to flexibly respond to future increases in power usage. For example, even if your current power demand is 10kVA, if you need 20kVA in the future, you can respond by introducing an additional UPS unit.
Our units vary in capacity from 1kVA to 5kVA to 100kVA, so you can choose the optimum capacity for any situation.
If the UPS is in parallel redundant operation, you can replace a UPS unit without stopping the power output. If the UPS has a maintenance bypass circuit, you can replace the unit during bypass operation, so there is no need to stop the equipment.
SANYO DENKI CO., LTD. offers a variety of parallel redundant type UPS to suit your needs.
It has a capacity of 5kVA to 20kVA, and up to four 5kVA units can be combined.
It is possible to operate in parallel with one unit as a spare unit.
It has a capacity of 5kVA to 20kVA, and up to four 5kVA units can be combined.
Because it is a lithium-ion battery UPS, it has the following features compared to the lead-acid battery-based SANUPS A11N.
Long battery life (expected life 10 years *at 25℃)
Wide temperature range (operating environment: 0~55℃)
Space-saving and lightweight
In factories such as chemical plants, steel mills, semiconductor plants, pharmaceutical plants, and food factories where a power outage could lead to a serious accident, parallel redundant UPS are used to avoid the unlikely risk of a UPS failure. In addition, parallel redundant UPS using lithium-ion batteries are extremely useful for the following reasons:
There are many UPS units in the factory, and the labor required for battery replacement needs to be reduced.
Operate the UPS in a wide range of ambient temperatures
Limited space
It has a capacity of 1kVA to 8kVA, and up to eight 1kVA units can be combined.
Because the units have a small capacity, it is possible to configure a small-capacity system for a parallel redundant type, making this a rare type of UPS in the industry.
In addition, the UPS has the following features that make it suitable for use overseas:
Compliant with UL/CE/UKCA standards
Not only 100V models but also 200V models are available
Wide input power range
(100V type is 55 to 150V, 200V type is 110 to 300V, input frequency range is 40 to 120Hz *When the load factor is less than 40%)
No need to worry about differences in outlet shapes due to the terminal block specifications
For this reason, the SANUPS A11M is highly valued for being incorporated into equipment used overseas and for providing power to production facilities overseas.
I want to prevent battery deterioration even when traveling abroad where the power situation is unstable.
Due to its small capacity, it can be easily incorporated into equipment
We want to avoid the risk of UPS failure in production facilities, etc.

It has a capacity of 6.25kVA to 25kVA, and by combining 6.25kVA units, it can accommodate a wide range of power capacities.
As it is a three-phase type, it is suitable for factory equipment and production facilities.
It has a capacity of 100kVA to 600kVA, and by combining 100kVA units, it can accommodate a wide range of power capacities.
This is a high-capacity, energy-efficient UPS that is suitable for situations with high power demands, such as large-scale factory equipment and production facilities.
With capacities ranging from 5kVA to 105kVA, a wide range of power capacities can be accommodated by combining 5kVA units.
It also complies with CE/UKCA standards, making it suitable for use in a wide range of situations, including overseas.
