HiPerGuard Medium Voltage UPS

ABB's industry-first medium voltage Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that provides a continuous and reliable power supply of up to 24 kV for mission critical facilities. This reliable supply of power is used to protect loads, whilst reducing downtime.To ensure critical facilities are highly efficient, reliable and secure, it is paramount that end-users collaborate with the right technology partners. HiPerGuard is designed with long term system availability in mind and only requires intrusive maintenance in ten-year intervals, delivering time and cost savings for maintenance teams.

HiPerGuard delivers the highest levels of efficiency available on the market, at 98 percent – translating to a potential carbon emission reduction of 1,245 tonnes over a 15-year lifespan.

Medium voltage

The transition from low voltage (LV) to medium voltage (MV) level is a natural progression of power protection for large critical power facilities. The approach offers two main benefits. It increases reliability and reduces costs of the critical power facility build and operation.

Increased reliability is derived from the MV design approach with larger protected load blocks, lower switchgear count and the operating culture of medium voltage systems.

Installing the power protection at the MV level provides the most energy efficient configuration as the lower currents at this voltage result in smaller cables and lower losses.
