A Simple, Dependable SolutionTo Power Quality Problems
Weekly malfunctioning of a critical
system due to power problems
would be unthinkable. But experi-
ence shows that this can be a reality
— an average site will experience
approximately 60 disruptive power
disturbances each year. The Liebert
Datawave magnetic synthesizer
provides the answer by meeting
the power quality needs of today’s
sensitive electronic systems.
Available in capacities from 15
to 200 kVA, it conditions and
distributes power, while offering
convenient system control and
monitoring — all in a single self-
contained unit. Designed for
expandability as your needs change,
the system is parallelable, allowing
you to add capacity or redundancy.
Reliability
Dependable components— Power conditioning is accomplished using only magnetic
components and capacitors — there are no moving parts to wear out or power
semiconductors to fail. This rugged technology and simple design results in
high reliability, minimal maintenance and many years of dependable operation.
Overload and unbalanced loads — The Liebert Datawave is designed to support
load imbalance, commonly caused by adding equipment to the load or by turning
loads on and off. It also handles the high inrush and start-up currents demanded by
electronic systems.
Deep sag protection— The unit’s broad input voltage regulation range protects
computer systems and other sensitive electronics from deep sags, which other
technologies would consider outages.
Transient voltage protection— The Liebert Datawave’s output voltage waveform
is independent of input waveform, assuring protection from high energy spikes and
ringing transients that can disrupt or damage your electronic systems.
Single-phase protection— Shorting, opening or unbalance of an input phase typically
causes motors and transformers to overheat or go off-line. The Liebert Datawave’s
unique design allows it to maintain 3-phase output voltage, even with the loss of
one input phase, up to 60% load.
Harmonics isolation— Today’s electronic systems are non-linear loads, which can
cause reflected distortion — a problem for conventional power systems. The Liebert
Datawave’s controlled input current distortion prevents the load’s current distortion
from affecting the power system, while its controlled output voltage distortion
prevents the power system voltage distortion from affecting the load. High neutral
current can also be handled without the need for oversizing.
Flexibility
Broad size range— The Liebert Datawave is available in several kVA ratings and
input voltage options, allowing flexible system design.
Model CA Liebert Datawave— The basic Datawave power conditioning unit, the
CA model is equipped with a main output breaker. It can be used with an existing
distribution panel board. It is capable of remote distribution, multiple distribution
and paralleling.
Model SC Liebert Datawave— A complete system in a single package, with full
conditioning, monitoring and distribution capabilities. The SC model has integral
output circuit distribution with flexible output cables.
Secure distribution and circuit identification for SC units— Each breaker has an
adjacent identification tag for rapid circuit ID. Each output cable is labeled at each
end with circuit number, length, type of receptacle and circuit identification.
Low Total Cost of Ownership
Energy efficient — Nearly unity input power factor means lower input current,
while high operating efficiency reduces utility costs and heat output.
