What differentiates Gruber Industries from other service providers?
Does Gruber Industries offer international models?
Gruber Industries is not limited to one brand. Rather than offer
brand specific solutions,
we can offer application specific solution.
Our wide range of models available are designed for both the
domestic and international market.
What does kVA mean? VA mean?
The output of a UPS is measured in volt-amperes or VA (output
voltage x output current).
The term kVA refers to kilo-volt-amperes
or VA x 1000.
What is the wattage and VA relationship?
Put simply, real power (watts)/apparent power (VA) = power
factor
What is the difference between on-line and off-line?
On-line UPS implies that an electronic inverter is constantly
supplying AC power to the load under all modes of operation.
Off-line
UPS supply input utility to the load during normal operation and
revert to a battery-powered inverter during utility failures.
Is on-line UPS better?
On-line UPS provide better overall power protection to the
load than off-line. This protection includes power conditioning,
regulated voltage and frequency, and zero translation time to
battery during a utility failure.
How do I size a UPS for my application?
Multiply the voltage rating of the equipment by the current
rating of the equipment to obtain a VA rating.
The UPS must be
rated to deliver at least this VA rating. See the Partner Solutions
section of our web site for more info.
Can a single UPS support more than one workstation or server?
Yes, if the UPS is sized large enough for the application.
Maintaining close proximity of the hardware to be supported
is preferred
to long distance electrical runs which can cause
unwanted ground current imbalances.
Our technical staff is
available to assist in the design of the electrical distribution.
Can we change the voltage taps
inside the UPS module to change the input voltage wiring?
Taps inside the UPS module should only be changed by a qualified
Gruber Industries Field Engineers.
How does Gruber Industries calculate battery time?
Battery times are calculated based on empirical lab measurements
and is referred to in our products' technical specifications.
Can you monitor and control UPS(s) remotely?
Yes, by using remote hardware designed by Gruber Industries
and our vendors customers can monitor and view remotely.
This can also be done with a network management software
package and network adapter products.
