Introducing our Solution Series, where we try to package a power solution to meet a common need.
Our first is the I want a UPS to power a panel
The SOLUTION... use a ups with an isolation type transformer. When you electrically power a subpanel, you feed the panel with 2 hots, a neutral and ground. However, normal UPSes dont have a separate neutral, more of a floating neutral. This prevents you from connecting these directly to a panel.
With the addition of a transformer, we can generate a fixed neutral and combine the 3wire output of the UPS with new fixed neutral. This 4 wire system can connect to the panel
My pick is the APC Smart UPS Online 5kva unit (593g4) with 5kva Iso (xf5iso) Transformer...
SURTD5000RMXLT3U - 593g4 - $1399.00
SURT003 - xf5iso - $495.00
