S&C's PureWave UPS Provides Critical" Power Protection to Missouri Hospital

Surgeons at a central-Missouri hospital-concerned about frequent weather-related power outages-demanded a higher degree of power quality than possible from the facilitys existing backup generator.

Franklin, WI (PRWEB) December 12, 2003 --- Surgeons at a central-Missouri hospital-concerned about frequent weather-related power outages-demanded a higher degree of power quality than possible from the facilitys existing backup generator. The hospitals consultant chose an S&C PureWave UPS System to maintain uninterruptible power to the surgical suites. The 625-kVA / 500-kW PureWave UPS System will keep the lights and other vital, life-saving equipment operating during the 10 seconds it takes for the backup generator to start upon loss of the utility power source.

The PureWave UPS System will be installed as a part of an infrastructure improvement project to be completed in May 2004. Construction costs have been minimized because PureWave UPS Systems are designed to be installed outdoors . . . eliminating the need for costly indoor space.
