HITEC PowerPRO3
PowerPRO3 is the latest generation of HITEC's dynamic UPS and succeeds the PowerPRO2700 launched in 2014. UPS, kinetic energy storage and standby generator are combined in one compact machine.
- Data centres (higher density, lower cost per kW)
- Semiconductor fabs
- Hospitals and finance

Technology
How it works
The new kinetic energy module (KEM, BCD version) has higher speed (up to 4200 rpm), about 500 kg more mass, new bearings and optimised lubrication. HITEC states up to 30 % more stored energy in the same external dimensions.
Generator and choke act as an active filter, while the free-wheel clutch transfers power from the engine without external control.
With Engine Start Delay the machine rides through short disturbances without starting the engine – fewer starts, lower fuel use and less wear.
Application
Where it fits
- Data centres (higher density, lower cost per kW)
- Semiconductor fabs
- Hospitals and finance
- Radar, defence and critical industry
Versions and options
- Plant room or container
- Turnkey delivery from HITEC
- Up to 100 % HVO fuel
Service
Operation and maintenance
HITEC states automatic lubrication of all bearings for up to one year, and that the energy module's external dimensions are retained, simplifying spares and service for existing customers.
A rotary plant should always be load-tested at commissioning – stepped load, utility failures and transfer to engine.
