PROJECT

GAZ Ni-Cd batteries replaced with Alcad, Astrid chargers and industrial UPS, with recurring service.

Battery capacity testing (2011), Astrid charger and Alcad Vantex Ni-Cd battery (2015), Astrid industrial UPS supply and service (2017–2019) and service of the plant's DC and battery systems (2019, 2020).

THE REQUIREMENT

What the site needed.

A float glass line runs continuously; its DC and AC UPS systems and their batteries must stay reliable over many years of operation.

EDPN SCOPE

What EDPN delivered.

EDPN capacity-tested the plant's 110 VDC Ni-Cd batteries — GAZ and Alcad (2011). The GAZ batteries were then replaced with Alcad Ni-Cd. EDPN supplied an Astrid charger with an Alcad Vantex Ni-Cd battery (2015); Astrid industrial UPS with VRLA batteries — Enplus EVO and Thetys EVO units (2017) and InfinityEVO units (2018, 2019); and serviced the Chloride 110 VDC charger, the Astrid charger and UPS, two Alcad Vantex banks (2019) and a VRLA battery (2020).
