FAQs
What is the difference between the PowerShield Centurion RT and other UPS types?
The Centurion RT is a true online double conversion UPS, meaning it continuously converts AC mains to DC and back to AC, providing superior power quality and conditioning. This is ideal for mission-critical equipment. The Advanced ECO mode also allows efficient pass-through operation when mains voltage is stable.
What does 0.9 output power factor mean for my equipment?
A 0.9 power factor means the Centurion RT can support larger loads than UPS units of equal VA rating. For example, at 0.9 power factor, the 2000VA unit can deliver 1800W, giving you greater power capacity for the same footprint.
Can the Centurion RT operate with a backup generator?
Yes, the Centurion RT is generator compatible, allowing you to extend runtime during extended mains outages by connecting a backup generator to the unit's input.
What are hot-swappable batteries and why do they matter?
Hot-swappable batteries allow you to replace battery modules whilst the UPS is operating and protecting your equipment. This means you can perform battery maintenance or replacement without shutting down connected devices.
How much energy does the Advanced ECO mode save?
In Advanced ECO mode, the Centurion RT can achieve up to 98% energy efficiency by passing mains supply directly through to the load whilst keeping the inverter in passive mode. This significantly reduces power consumption and operating costs during normal conditions.
What is included in the 2-year warranty?
The Centurion RT includes a 24-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. For specific warranty terms and support, please contact Hyetech Australia.
Is the short base model suitable for my equipment rack?
Yes, the short base (SB) design is specifically engineered to fit most standard communications equipment racks with height constraints. It maintains the same power capacity as standard Centurion RT models in a more compact form factor.
