EngineUPS

What is Engine UPS?

EngineUPS serves as the standby power supply for the engine electrics, enabling emergency evacuation during blackout situations.

Engine electrics refer to the electrical system that supplies power to engines in vehicles and vessels, including generators that produce and supply the electricity required for engine start-up and operation, ignition systems, lighting, and control devices. They play a crucial role in providing the necessary power for the engine to function properly. Categorized into four main components, engine electrics require stable power supply even in the event of emergencies. EngineUPS effectively prevents blackout situations on vessels and engine start-up failures in emergency generators.

Particularly, the starter assumes normal operation based on the assumption that the battery has sufficient performance. If the battery’s performance deteriorates, the starter’s rotational force weakens, making it difficult for the engine to start. Additionally, during winter when the chemical reaction of lead-acid batteries is suppressed, the output current decreases, resulting in insufficient torque for the starter. In the worst case, this can lead to failure to start the engine, causing the lead-acid battery to drain. The rotational resistance during engine start-up is extremely high, causing a large current to flow through the starter. This current is drawn from the lead-acid battery and, as such, the battery cannot withstand prolonged starter operation. EngineUPS is a large-capacity stable power source that operates continuously without stopping the engine.
