With hundreds of installations worldwide, CleanSource technology is a proven, reliable alternative to battery-based power quality systems. CleanSource UPS systems provide state-of-the-art power conditioning features including high-speed voltage regulation Voltage regulation The change in voltage magnitude that occurs when the load (at a specified power factor) is reduced from the rated or nominal value to zero, with no intentional manual readjustment of any voltage control, expressed in percent of nominal and active harmonic cancellation. When coupled with a standby generator A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates automatically. Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator. , CleanSource UPS creates a complete continuous power system that will protect against extended power outages and rolling blackouts.
