MAXI 2KDG- 2KVA UPS LED VERSION

Description

. Power Capacity

• 2 KVA (Kilovolt-Amperes): The unit can handle up to 2,000 Volt-Amperes. In terms of watts (W), this is approximately 1,600 watts, assuming a power factor of 0.8. This is suitable for powering equipment like:
  • Desktop computers, workstations, and small servers.
  • Network switches, routers, and other communication devices.
  • Small office equipment (printers, scanners, etc.).

2. LED Display and Indicators

• The LED display is an integral part of this UPS, providing real-time feedback about the operational status of the device. The display typically includes:
  • Battery charge status: Shows the current state of charge in the battery, indicating when it’s full, low, or needs replacement.
  • Load level: Displays the percentage of total capacity being used. This helps you ensure that you’re not overloading the UPS, which could affect performance.
  • Input and output voltage: Shows the voltage levels being supplied to and from the UPS, so you can monitor if the system is regulating power properly.
  • Fault conditions: Alerts users to any operational issues, such as battery failure, overloads, or undervoltage, to ensure early detection and troubleshooting.

3. Battery Type and Backup Time

• Battery type: Most likely uses sealed lead-acid batteries (SLA) or maintenance-free lead-acid batteries (MF SLA). Some high-end models might even use lithium-ion batteries, but the typical choice for a UPS in this power range is SLA.
• Backup time: The backup time provided by the UPS will depend on the load connected to it. Here are general estimates for a 2KVA UPS:
  • At full load (2,000VA): The UPS will likely provide around 5-10 minutes of backup power, depending on the battery size and efficiency.
  • At 50% load (1,000VA): Expect around 10-20 minutes of backup time.
  • At lower loads (e.g., 25-30% load), it could provide up to 30-40 minutes or more, depending on the specific battery capacity.

4. Input and Output Voltage

• Input Voltage: This UPS model is designed for regions with 220V to 240V AC standard power input. In some models, there may be a range of 170V-280V for input voltage to account for fluctuating grid power.
• Output Voltage: Typically outputs 220V AC (or 110V AC, depending on the region) for standard equipment in homes and small offices.
• The UPS will regulate output voltage, providing a stable supply to connected equipment even during voltage fluctuations or brownouts. This feature is particularly useful for sensitive electronics, ensuring they are not damaged by power irregularities.

5. Surge Protection and Voltage Regulation

• Surge protection: Protects connected devices from power surges (such as those caused by lightning strikes or power grid issues). The UPS will block harmful spikes in voltage that could damage sensitive equipment.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): This function helps maintain a stable output voltage even when the input fluctuates. For example, if the input voltage drops below normal levels (brownout), the UPS will boost it. Similarly, if the input voltage spikes (overvoltage), the UPS will reduce it to protect the connected devices.

6. Form Factor and Design

• The MAXI UPS2KDG is likely to have a compact, tower-style design, though some models might be rack-mounted depending on the application. Tower models are common for home and small office use, while rack-mounted versions are more suitable for data centers or server rooms.
• Cooling: The UPS is typically equipped with built-in fans to keep the internal components cool. The fans should be quiet enough for office or home environments but effective in ensuring proper airflow.
• Weight and Size: The size and weight will vary depending on the battery type and capacity. A 2KVA UPS with lead-acid batteries will likely weigh between 15-30 kg (33-66 lbs).

7. Safety and Protection Features

• Overload protection: The UPS will automatically shut down or signal when the connected load exceeds its capacity to prevent damage.
• Short-circuit protection: Ensures that the unit doesn’t get damaged if there’s a short-circuit in the connected equipment.
• Battery overcharge protection: Prevents the battery from being overcharged, which can shorten its lifespan or cause it to fail prematurely.
• Over-temperature protection: Shuts down the unit if it overheats, which is important for preventing damage due to excessive heat.

8. Communication Ports

• USB/Serial communication ports: Many UPS units include a USB or RS-232 serial port to allow communication with connected devices. This can be used for:
  • Monitoring UPS performance via software.
  • Automatically shutting down computers or servers in the event of a prolonged power outage (for safe data loss prevention).
• Network management cards (optional): Some UPS systems may include an option to add a network card, enabling remote monitoring and control through a web interface or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

9. Application Areas

• Small businesses: For protecting servers, workstations, and networking equipment.
• Home offices: Ensures uninterrupted operation of PCs, Wi-Fi routers, and other home office devices during power failures.
• Retail and point-of-sale systems: Keeps point-of-sale (POS) systems, cash registers, and credit card readers running during outages.
• Healthcare: Protects sensitive medical equipment and devices from power interruptions that could lead to data loss or equipment damage.

10. Maintenance and Battery Replacement

• SLA batteries typically last between 3 to 5 years depending on usage and environmental conditions. It’s important to replace the batteries when they begin to degrade, which may cause the UPS to fail to provide backup power.
• Battery testing and replacement: Many UPS systems allow you to test the battery health through the LED display or accompanying software. Regular testing helps to identify when a battery replacement is needed before it fails during a power outage.
