How do Fuji Electric India’s UPS systems differentiate themselves in design and manufacturing to ensure high efficiency during power conversion?

Fuji Electric India’s UPS systems are designed and manufactured to guarantee high efficiency, minimising energy losses throughout the power conversion process. Additionally, these systems are engineered to reduce both power consumption and heat generation, making them particularly advantageous for data centres. Our UPS systems, featuring cutting-edge power semiconductors, contribute to achieving the utmost level of conversion efficiency. Furthermore, all our products are aligned to address and mitigate concerns related to global warming.

How does Fuji Electric India’s Active Harmonic Filter address harmonics and voltage fluctuations and improve equipment efficiency within a system?

Fuji Electric India’s Active Harmonic Filter (AHF) presents an effective solution for alleviating harmonics and voltage fluctuations associated with processes and enhancing the operational lifespan and capacity of equipment within a system. It can be a key element in a comprehensive harmonic filtering and power factor correction system. The Active Harmonic Filters can enhance the displacement power factor by introducing the required reactive currents when activated. Additionally, the Active Harmonic Filter contributes to reducing distortion power factor through resistance and cancellation of harmonic currents.

In the context of a data centre, an uninterrupted power supply is crucial to prevent data loss and maintain continuous internet and communication services. Addressing fluctuations is as vital as guarding against power cuts. The stable functioning of electrical equipment and the efficient use of energy have emerged as significant concerns for data centre operators. To tackle these challenges, we install AHFs to ensure the stable operation of electrical equipment and promote energy savings in data centre environments.

Regarding Green technology, how does Fuji Electric India contribute to environmental sustainability through its products and initiatives?

Fuji Electric India believes in lowering carbon dioxide emissions, just like its parent company Fuji Electric. Our energy-efficient products and solutions will help organisations achieve their green goals. We are rigorously promoting green technology in all our processes.

With a sustainable future as the aim, FEI is making steady progress. Our emphasis lies in advancing power electronics devices with high efficiency, such as silicon carbide and IGBTs. These technologies are targeted for applications in fuel cells, solar inverters, UPS, and AC drives.
