To ensure minimal downtime for customers, power generation and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) specialist Master Power Technologies has designed and constructed a 1000 kVA Test Centre for the testing of the UPS systems it supplies to the market place.
The test centre enables Master Power to minimise to the greatest possible extent any chance of downtime for customers by providing high levels of testing to the standards applied by the original manufactuers, at the same time also meeting IEC standards. The computerised testing procedures are fully automated.
“We are able to test new product releases from suppliers and demonstrate the technical capabilities of products to clients,” says Master Power Technologies founder and owner, Menno Parsons. “We can also perorm ‘witness tests’ for customers who wish to verify that the equipment they have purchased meets the technical specifications stated by the manufacturer.”
The test centre has a permanently installed 1000 kVA generator set to provide the power necessary for load testing of the UPS units. It has permanent load banks of 650 kW with the ability to expand load testing capacity to 1300 kW. Units can be tested individually or in parallel. Parsons said the centre is probably the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere and required significant investment in automation.
