5500 Universal UPS Tester

• Advanced testing capability
• Fast test speeds
• Enterprise network-ready
• Configuration flexibility

Application
The 5500 Uninterruptible Power Supply Test System is an advanced UPS test platform similar to the 5600 Power Supply Tester but targeted exclusively for uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). It contains two unique instruments: a Digital Measurement System and an AC Electronic Load, a combination that provides for more comprehensive functional testing of UPSs than ever before possible.

Advanced Testing Capability
To insure that the UPS is tested with "real-world" loading conditions, an AC electronic load is provided. Through programmable control of both power-factor and crest-factor, the AC load allows checking UPS performance at a number of operating envelope or worst-case limits, rather than just at nominal. Complementing the AC electronic load is the Digital Measurement System (DMS). This instrument replaces several single-function measurement instruments through its ability to extract multiple measurements from a single digitized waveform. Accordingly, the two unique test instruments combine to allow more thorough testing of UPSs than ever before possible in production UPS test equipment.

Lower Testing Costs
The 5500 Uninterruptible Power Supply Tester establishes a new standard in lowering UPS-test costs. Significantly improved UPS tester throughput is achieved by combining a minimum number of test instruments tightly integrated into a powerful 32-bit, multi-threaded test executive containing a speed-optimized test execution engine. UPS test times are often cut to half that of older-generation UPS automatic test equipment.

Enterprise Network-Ready
In today's manufacturing environment, UPS ATE must interface seamlessly with the enterprise network that increasingly controls both test program delivery and test results data collection. Global manufacturers, in particular, need real-time status of productivity and quality from remote facilities. All of this is now available with the emPower® Test Executive, an open-architectured application specifically designed with such enterprise needs in mind.
