SG Series 225 & 300 UL S2

 

3  INTRODUCTION 

 
 

An 

Uninterruptible Power Supply

 (UPS) provides the power for critical loads that need a reliable, 

continuous, disturbance free supply. 
 
In case the power provided by the 

Utility 

fails, or exceeds the permitted tolerances, the power to supply 

the 

Load 

is provided by the 

Battery

 for the specified time at the rated 

Load 

(or longer at a reduced 

Load

or until the 

Utility

 power returns. 

 
 

SG Series 225 & 300 

is a true double conversion 

VFI

 

(Voltage Frequency Independent)

 UPS system where 

the 

Load 

is continuously supplied by the 

Inverter

 through the 

Rectifier

 
In case of trouble on the 

Inverter Output Voltage

, or when overload or short-circuit on the output occur, 

the 

Load

 is instantly transferred to the 

Utility

 via the 

Automatic Bypass

 
The UPS automatically returns to normal mode when the failure condition is restored. 
 
 
 

Key features

 

• 

More Critical equipment supported

 

Rated at 0.9 Power Factor, 

SG Series 225 & 300

 delivers more real power than other UPS in the 

market. 
With today’s trend toward power factor corrected loads, 

SG Series 225 & 300

 can support more 

total 

Load 

than any other UPS available, allowing you to support a greater number of today’s 

enterprise computing Power Factor Corrected (PFC) equipment. 

 

 

• 

No single point of failure

 

Redundant Parallel Architecture (RPA) is an exclusive 

GE

 technology. 

With RPA, 

SG Series 225 & 300 

UPS are controlled in a true peer-to-peer configuration where all 

critical elements and functions (including 

Bypass

) are redundant. 

SG Series 225 & 300

 is designed to be the most reliable power protection system available on the 

market today. 

 
 

• 

High Efficiency

 

Using IGBT technology and Space Vector Modulation (SVM) strategy, 

SG Series 225 & 300

 offers low 

output voltage distortion and provides efficiencies up to 93%. 

 
 

• 

Fully digital

 

Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Flash memory and SVM strategy, are the technology corner stones 
of new age of power quality and power reliability. 

 

 

• 

Extremely flexible

 

Tailor made power protection to meet your individual installation requirements; 

SG Series 225 & 

300

 offers various options like input harmonic filters and our comprehensive 

GE Power Diagnostic

 

software suite for mission control and data protection to cover all your application needs.
