Hitec’s mission is to take total care for the availability of quality power for our customers. Zerodowntime for our customers is our ultimate goal.

Power interruptions cost a lot of money or lead to dangerous situations. What happens if the credit card company misses 2 minutes of payments ? Or imagine that the flight control center is not available because of power problems ?
If the production process of a semiconductor plant has been interrupted because of a power failure the costs of lost products and time can be as high as $ 1.000.000,- per hour.

Some processes are extreme critical and may never be interrupted because of power failure.

Hitec solutions include:

Diesel Rotary UPS solutions that protect your critical processes for power failures or quality problems with unlimited duration. Both in low voltage as in medium voltage
All possible Services to make Zerodowntime possible for our customers

Diesel UPS / CPS
System description
A UPS / CPS power module consists of a diesel engine, induction coupling and generator bolted on a solid base frame. The diesel engine sits idle until the mains fails. The induction coupling contains an inner rotor that stores sufficient energy to bridge the diesel start time. The generator provides electrical power to the load in diesel mode. In normal mode, the generator acts as dynamic filter and provides power factor correction.
The digital controller and operation switches and controls are located in a cabinet that is typically placed in an electrical control room. The main circuit breakers that connect the power module to the load and the mains are placed in electrical switchboards. Each power module is connected to a reactor (choke coil) that uncouples the utility power from the load.

Ride Through Systems
In area's were the quality of the mains is normaly ok, and the duration of power interruptions is limited a Ride Though System is a cost efficient UPS/CPS solution.

In order to bridge short interrupts in the mains-voltage , Hitec has developed a rotary Ride Through system.
Apart from bridging mains interrupts, this system also behaves as a power conditioner.

Output Power within strict UPS specification:
400kVA, 750kVA, 1250 kVA , offering 15 seconds Ride Through time at full load and 30 seconds at half load.
