Power­Protection,­UPS­and­Batteries

Critical Power Supplies sells equipment

from the leading manufacturers in the

industry. Such products give customers

the means by which to protect the supply

(or supplies) of electricity to their

businesses, thus ensuring that critical

systems can continue when a mains

power cut happens. Such products,

UPS (uninterruptible power supplies)

in particular, also condition raw mains

electricity and stop the power problems

associated with it, such as sags, surges,

brownouts and so on, which could lead

to severe disruption or cause damage

to expensive machinery, computer

and other equipment.

Standby­Power,­generators­&­fuel­cells

We also supply products, such as diesel

and Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) generators

that provide back-up power, which may

be required on a temporary basis (such as

on a construction site, or for an outdoor

event) or as backup to mains power in

a UPS/power protection system. It is a

highly specialised field and one in

which Critical Power Supplies has a

strong history.

Renewable­Energy,­Energy­Management

To add value, alongside the above, we

provide strategic advice, consultancy,

products and services that enable

customers to implement energy efficiency

measures and optimise their electricity

consumption, reduce waste (and thus

energy costs) and making sure they

know where electricity is being used

and by what.

For customers implementing renewable

energy initiatives, Critical Power Supplies

carries a range of renewable energy

solutions such as solar panels, solar and

wind power inverters, grid connecter

inverters and solar tracking solutions.

Onsite­Services

Critical Power Supplies has unrivalled

experience in the industry and this has

enabled the company to compile a choice

of valuable onsite services that are known

to truly benefit customers. Technical

support is available 24/7, for the lifetime

of the products the company supplies

(a commitment rarely matched by other

resellers) and Critical Power Supplies

also offers strategic consultancy to

assist customers and trade partners in

achieving their power and energy goals.

Nationwide,­Qualified,­Skilled­and

Accredited­Engineering­Team

Uninterruptible power supplies and other

equipment sold by resellers must be

properly installed and commissioned

according to manufacturers’ guidelines and

recommendations. If not, warranties can be

invalidated and the products may not work

or operate as expected. UPS up to 3kVA are

usually ‘self-installed’ as they are designed

to plug straight into an existing power

socket. Above 3kVA, however, UPS tends to

be hardwired and qualified electrical

engineers or contractors (authorised to do

the work and issue an electrical installation

certificate upon completion) must carry this

out. This is essential to satisfy UK legal and

regulatory requirements.

Critical Power Supplies operates nationwide

(UK) and in Northern Ireland and has

access to a team of highly skilled, qualified,

accredited and experienced engineers who

are dedicated to the job of power continutiy.

The company considers them its cavalry,

on the road and ready to be despatched

to wherever their skills are required.

Critical Power Supplies is proud of the

reputation and credibility its cavalry

commands in the industry.

Accreditations

Standards­Compliance

It means they can rest-assured that the

company complies with the latest standards

and regulations – the same ones as they are

required to, or that they require in a supplier

in order to comply with their own industry’s

stringent regulations. In trading with Critical

Power Supplies, customers’ regulatory

compliance remains in tact.

Customer service, environmental

responsibility and valuing people

It also demonstrates how seriously Critical

Power Supplies takes its commitment to

customers and how it is developing its

business in the best possible way, adhering

to continuous improvement, caring about its

impact on the environment and taking an

active and positive role in shaping the future

of the people it employs through employee

assistance programmes.

Products

Critical­UPS/STS­Solutions

Critical Power Supplies is manufacturer-

independent, which means it is free to

choose the best solutions to meet customer

requirements from an extensive range of

quality, leading-edge back up power

solutions, UPS - including standby, line

interactive and online double conversion,

parallel (N+X) configurations (with floor

standing and rack-mount options).

All products meet strict standards of

quality, health and safety and

environmental (ECO) management.

STS­(source­transfer­switches)­

or­Static­Transfer­Switches

STS increase the resilience of a power

continuity system by introducing a dual

primary input supply of AC power (two

different UPS or two separate mains

supplies, perhaps). Critical Power Supplies

sells a range of switches, from entry-level

up to industrial types.

Power­Distribution­Units­(PDUs)

A PDU helps to solve power problems by

distributing electricity to where it is needed

most and helping customers track and

manage their energy use. Critical Power

Supplies provides a range of PDUs for

vertical and horizontal rack-mount

application, from basic to monitored,

single and three-phase.

Smart­Meters

Smart meters enable customers to monitor

their energy use and thus cut energy bills.

Critical Power Supplies offers a range of

products - from cost-effective metering

solutions to a complete Smart system with

instant access to data (using any number

of devices; handhelds, PCs, laptops).

Renewable­Energy

Critical Power Supplies stocks a number of

solar and wind energy products including

inverters that enable linking to the National

Grid as part of the Government’s Feed-in

Tariff scheme so that customers can

implement ‘Green’ initiatives at the

same time as cutting energy costs.

Monitoring­Packages

Energy monitoring and management is

climbing its way up the business agenda

as energy costs continue to rise. Remote

monitoring of batteries and power protection

systems also helps increase uptime and

system availability, alongside allowing

products and machinery to be maintained

effectively. Critical Power Supplies’ packages

include battery monitoring, critical remote

monitoring, PDU management, UPS

monitoring (including a multi-brand option)

and accessories such as interface cabling

and communications adapters.

Consumables­and­Spares

The company has a full range of

consumables – from UPS batteries, fans

and capacitors to complete spares kits.

Standby/Back-up­Systems

Standby back-up power is a critical element

of most larger power protection installations

and the most common type is a generator

(either diesel or LPG). There are, however,

sites for which a generator may be

unsuitable and so alongside a range

of reliable generators from leading

manufacturers such as SDMO, Critical Power

Supplies also provides fuel cells, UPS

flywheels, inverters and DC systems

for emergency lighting.

Rack­Cabinets

A customer’s choice of rack cabinet or

enclosure can determine how reliable,

efficient and secure their power system is.

Critical Power Supplies stocks a variety of

principal rack cabinets and enclosures,

alongside rack accessories, special doors,

sidewalls and castors that will enable

customers to optimise their installation

for reliability, efficiency and security.

Critical­Cooling

Critical Power Supplies offers the

latest, state-of-the-art critical cooling

solutions - from single racks to

containerised structures, including

self-contained or those that connect

to chilled water on site.

Legacy­Solutions

In UPS terms, legacy is no bad thing.

Many of today’s top products from leading

manufacturers are founded on the stable and

proven designs, mechanics and technologies

of the past. Time moves on, however, and

technology develops and there comes a

point when it is no longer feasible for

manufacturers to support a legacy system –

and that’s when a trusted and accomplished

provider like Critical Power Supplies comes

in. It offers support and information for

customers that have legacy UPS systems in

terms of how to upgrade or replace them,

documentation, advice – and whole lot more.

UPS­Accessories

From battery extension packs, maintenance

bypasses, power cables, remote monitoring

panels to rack-mount kits, Critical Power

Supplies sells an assortment to enable

customers to optimise their UPS installation.

The company also offers bespoke

customisation as a service provided

by its own engineering team.

Power­Conditioners

Critical Power Supplies offers a

range of power conditioners from

top manufacturers, and this includes:

Medical-grade

compliant transformers.

Single and three-phase

power conditioners.

Surge strips.

Transient Voltage Surge

Suppression devices.

Ultra Isolation transformers.
