How much energy can a single GTX unit provide?
On a 510 VDC or greater UPS bus, the GTX is designed to provide a continuous 200 kW for 12 seconds (or longer at lower outputs). UPS systems are usually loaded to about half their nameplate rating and have a 0.8 power factor, so one unit on a 400-kVA UPS at 50% loading will provide more than 15 seconds of runtime to bridge to a backup generator (which can usually assume a gradual transfer of the load 5-6 seconds after starting). For higher power requirements, longer durations and/or redundancy, multiple GTX units can be run in parallel without any communications gear. See the chart on our specifications page for a runtime guide or contact us and we’ll work out the specifics for your particular application.
