The Applications

1. Industrial Embedded Systems Protection

Embedded controllers and industrial PCs often face sudden voltage drops that can halt production lines or corrupt data. The UPS-CAP/24DC/20A/20KJ bridges these interruptions instantly, ensuring sensitive devices remain powered. Its supercapacitor technology allows extremely fast charge and discharge cycles while maintaining a long service life. By preventing costly restarts and keeping equipment stable, factories can avoid unplanned downtime. This makes it particularly effective in automated packaging, robotic assembly, and continuous process monitoring, where reliability and smooth operation are essential.

2. High-Temperature, Safety-Critical Installations

Traditional batteries degrade quickly in hot or extreme environments, which can compromise safety systems. The UPS-CAP/24DC/20A/20KJ is built to withstand temperatures up to 60 °C, providing stable short-term power where others fail. In refineries, steel plants, or heavy-duty processing facilities, this reliability is critical. The capacitor-based storage operates without electrolyte leakage or swelling, ensuring long-term durability. By maintaining stable voltage during fluctuations, it protects control panels, sensors, and emergency systems from disruption, giving operators confidence that critical functions will not shut down under challenging conditions.

3. Clean-Room and Semiconductor Line Stability

Precision production, such as semiconductor or pharmaceutical manufacturing, demands a perfectly stable environment. Even brief power interruptions can ruin delicate processes, leading to high material loss. The UPS-CAP/24DC/20A/20KJ supplies consistent backup power for ventilation, climate control, and sensitive instruments, ensuring no sudden deviations occur. Because it requires virtually no maintenance, it is ideal for clean-room environments where downtime must be minimized. Its ability to instantly deliver energy during a dip prevents contamination or process drift, protecting both product quality and costly equipment.

4. Rail Transport and Regenerative Energy Capture

Modern transport systems use energy recovery to improve efficiency, and capacitor-based storage is well suited for this role. In trams or light-rail networks, the UPS-CAP/24DC/20A/20KJ can buffer energy during braking and release it when accelerating. This not only supports traction power but also stabilizes onboard electronics, such as control systems and passenger information displays, during sudden supply variations. With its robust design and rapid charge capability, it contributes to energy savings, reduced peak loads, and reliable operation of transport infrastructure, making it a sustainable choice for public transit operators.
