STANDBY POWER without the use of expensive batteries. The 20C1000 is a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) designed to provide reliable backup power for telecommunications equipment. The FESS consists of a flywheel module and electronics module, and is designed to act as an energy reservoir to provide a stable supply of power, either when utility power lines are interrupted, or when the voltage level falls below acceptable levels. The FESS has an internal safety system protection, which will shut down the unit if any parameters exceed predetermined limits. Remote monitoring features allow technicians to review real-time information on the unit's performance, helping to ensure it is available when needed. The unit provides 1.0 kW maximum of continuous electrical power in 36, 48 or 96 VDC nominal voltages. Larger capacity models are also available.--Beacon Power
