Military operations demand increased ruggedness, durability, high performance, and reliability of their uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) due to the extreme terrains and climates in which they must seamlessly perform. Rugged UPS are increasingly critical during extended military operations. They prevent data loss, maintain battery charge, and provide reliable, continuous power, and surge protection.
Military UPS must also meet high military standards/specifications to ensure quality of performance. Meticulous design and construction enable higher efficiency, smaller size, lower weight, and the challenges of multi-voltage electronics.Military-grade power supplies are guided by military specifications: MIL-STD-704E (aircraft), MIL-STD-1275D (ground), MIL-STD-1399-300B (shipboard), MIL-STD-810G (environmental test methods), and MIL-STD-461F (EMI). These standards cover topics such as voltage, maximum current, frequency, electrical noise, and abnormal conditions for both AC and DC systems. Additionally, specification MIL-S-901D covers high impact shock and ensures the ability of shipboard power installations to withstand the shocks incurred due to nuclear or conventional weapons.
lntelliPower is the largest and most successful supplier of high reliability, rugged UPS for the military. All AMETEK IntelliPower UPS are built with rugged, high-quality steel or aluminum for the harshest of military environments.
