Overview
The Powerware PW9120 700 is a compact 700VA online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered for critical equipment requiring continuous, clean power. Featuring a high-frequency double-conversion topology, it delivers 490W of usable power with zero transfer time between utility and battery modes, making it ideal for networks, servers, telecommunications systems, and other sensitive electronics that cannot tolerate power interruption or quality degradation.
Key Features
- Double-Conversion Online Architecture: Constant conditioning ensures zero-millisecond transfer time and protection from voltage sags, surges, and frequency variations.
- Sine Wave Output: Pure sinusoidal waveform with <3% THD, safe for all load types including variable frequency drives, network equipment, and precision instruments.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): Maintains ±2% output voltage stability in normal mode and ±3% in battery mode without battery drain.
- Noise Filtering: MOV surge protection and comprehensive line filtration suppress normal and common-mode noise for uncontaminated power delivery.
- Low Audible Noise: <45dB operation allows placement in office and lab environments.
- Compact Tower Design: Space-efficient 15.8 × 41.2 × 24.3 cm footprint weighing just 12.6 kg for easy installation and relocation.
