Why reliable power matters for Industrial

Industrial facilities run controls, automation and processes where a power disturbance can halt production, damage equipment or create a safety risk. Harsh conditions, heat, dust and electrical noise make commercial-grade UPS a poor fit, and downtime is measured in lost output.

UPS Solutions supplies, installs and maintains industrial UPS systems and power protection built for these environments. Our transformer-based XRT-IND range, DC UPS and rectifiers protect PLCs, SCADA and control systems, while voltage stabilisers and surge protection deal with poor quality supply. We support plants and utilities with maintenance and emergency response.

What we protect

Critical systems we protect for Industrial

How power reaches the systems that keep industrial running, and what we put in its path so a dip, spike or outage never reaches them.

  1. Plant supplyPlant power with heavy motor loads, dips and switching transients.
  2. Surge and voltage protectionClamps spikes and evens out swings from heavy plant and motor starts.
  3. UPS and batteriesCarry the load through dips and outages, with a generator for longer runtime.
  4. Your critical systemsKeep running on clean, steady power.
  • PLCs and control systems

    The controls that keep processes running safely.

  • SCADA and telemetry

    Monitoring and control across plants and remote assets.

  • Process instrumentation

    Sensors and analysers that need clean power.

  • Switchgear and protection

    DC supplies for tripping and protection systems.

  • Safety and shutdown systems

    Systems that must work when power is lost.

  • Site IT and communications

    Networks linking plant, office and head office.

When the power drops

What happens when the power drops on an industrial site

The same outage plays out very differently with and without the right protection in place.

Without protection
With UPS Solutions
01The supply drops
PLCs and control systems drop out and the process stops uncontrolled.
The UPS takes over straight away, so controls stay in charge of the process.
02Seconds later
SCADA and telemetry lose visibility of the plant.
SCADA, instrumentation and safety systems keep running on battery.
03Minutes later
Batches are lost, equipment can be damaged and safety systems are tested.
A generator picks up longer outages, or the plant shuts down in a controlled way.
04Power returns
Restart surges can damage controls and the plant needs a full restart sequence.
Power is handed back smoothly and the restart surge is filtered out.
FAQs

Industrial power protection FAQs

Common questions about UPS and power protection for industrial.

What is the difference between an industrial UPS and an IT UPS?

Industrial UPS systems are built for harsh conditions such as heat, dust and electrical noise, and often for different input and output voltages. IT UPS units are designed for clean, climate-controlled rooms.

What should be protected in an industrial facility?

PLCs and control systems, SCADA, instrumentation, safety systems, networks and the servers that run production.

Do you have your own industrial UPS range?

Yes. Our XRT-IND industrial UPS range complements the major brands we supply.

What is the difference between surge protection and a UPS?

Surge protection guards equipment against sudden voltage spikes but does nothing when the power drops out. A UPS provides battery backup during outages and, depending on the type, also regulates voltage and filters surges. Many sites use both.

Do you maintain UPS systems after installation?

Yes. We offer preventative maintenance, battery replacement and emergency support, with phones answered 24 hours, 7 days. See our preventative maintenance services.
