PRESENTATION
X31 / X33 SE 10/15/20KVA
SE UPS Systems are intended to ensure a perfect supply voltage for the equipment connected to it, both with and
without a mains power supply. Once connected and powered, the system generates an alternating sinusoidal
voltage, with stable amplitude and frequency, regardless of surges and/or variations affecting the electrical supply.
SE UPS, in both three phase (X33) and single phase (X31) versions, are available in three different chassis: ACTIVE
-ACT and XTEND-XTD, whose main features will be highlighted within this manual.
SE is the very latest PS development resulting in a third-generation transformer-free UPS, originally introduced into
the market over twenty years ago.
This ultimate solution is rated at output power factor 1 and defined as ON LINE double conversion technology in
accordance with VFI- SS-111 classification (as set out in standard IEC EN 62040-3) and it provides the very highest
levels of performance such as:
HIGH EFFICIENCY: up to 96.5% in ON LINE double conversion mode.
ULTIMATE TECHNOLOGIES: SE applies the advanced technologies such as DSP (Digital Signal
Processor), dual core microprocessor, three level inverter circuits and resonant control to provide maximum
protection to the critical loads, whilst maintaining optimised energy savings.
COMPACTNESS AND FLEXIBILITY: SE is offered in two different frame solutions (ACTIVE and
XTEND) to suit any installation scenario and satisfy any critical power demand.
GRAPHIC DISPLAY: E offers a multiplatform communication choice together with a coloured graphic touch
screen display to easily monitor and manage the UPS.
ACTIVE - ACT XTEND - XTD

Description
The purpose of a UPS is to provide a perfect power supply voltage for the devices connected to it, irrespective of
whether the mains power supply is present or not. Once connected and powered, the UPS generates a sinusoidal
alternating voltage with a stable amplitude and frequency, regardless of any changes and/or variations occurring on
the electricity grid. Whilst the UPS receives energy from the mains supply, the DSP will ensure that the connected
batteries remain charged. The DSP also monitors the amplitude and frequency of the mains voltage, the amplitude
and frequency of the voltage generated by the inverter, the load applied, the internal temperature and the condition
of the connected batteries.
The block diagrams below show each of the components that make up the UPS for both single and dual input
versions.
