Prestige Series
uninterruptible power system (UPS). The Prestige UPS meets the
toughest measures of superior design and manufacturing, including
ISO 9001. You now own the most reliable power protection available.
The Prestige 3000 provides a steady, well-regulated power supply for
your computing and communications equipment, while protecting it
from the frequent irregularities that are inherent in commercially
available power. Voltage spikes, power surges, brownouts, and power
failures have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work
sessions, and in some instances, damage expensive hardware.
With the Prestige 3000, you can safely eliminate the effects of electrical
line disturbances and guard the integrity of your systems and
equipment. The PowerPass
9
Distribution Module (PPDM) has a
Maintenance Bypass feature that supplies power to your equipment even
when the UPS electronics are removed for maintenance or upgrades.
