In 2004, we released our first DC UPS, the first generation QUINT-UPS, which is still in use and purchased today.
Then in 2011, we released the QUINT UPS-IQ, which for the first time allowed some monitoring of the connected battery to see such things as battery status, battery lifetime, and remaining runtime. With this generation of UPS it is possible to pass this info up to higher level controls but requires additional hardware.

I have been working with AC UPS systems from a few VA up to a few hundred kilowatts for a number of years now. What that experience has taught me, is that including a UPS in a system design is very often an afterthought. In smaller systems such as a typical ICA panel, where only a few kVA is required, space is often at a premium. Therefore, trying to fit a UPS in post design can be tricky.
What generally happens is that a standard off the shelf, commercial UPS is placed in the bottom of the panel. This firstly does not look very good and secondly is not a very industrial solution.

No need to worry, Phoenix Contact has a variety of solutions to monitor and prevent potential supply problems!
Even a brief input voltage interruption can paralyse a system, often resulting in financial losses with an unplanned shutdown. Prevent this by choosing a tailor-made solution from our product range for DC and AC applications and keep your production running smoothly.
Traditional UPS solutions may keep your process running for a short while, but they give little or no diagnostic information on the system and in particular the state of the battery. Will it actually work when needed?
The Quint UPS-IQ uses Phoenix Contact’s newly developed IQ technology to remedy that situation and increase your system knowledge and availability.
