UPS Systems within the Healthcare Industry

Hospitals and other medical operations rely on a constant power source and a UPS system is a critical component to ensure the power stays on. Our range of modular and standalone uninterruptible power supply and battery systems are ideally suited to healthcare applications, and we deliver to and support many of the largest healthcare providers in Ireland and the UK.

Hospital UPS systems are designed with high reliability and low failure rates. These UPS are built to meet stringent regulatory standards and are subject to rigorous testing to ensure they perform under all conditions.

How to Choose the right UPS System for your Healthcare Facility

It’s essential that you consider the total load of all critical equipment before you choose a healthcare UPS system, as it must be able handle the maximum load with some margin for future expansion. Our UPS kVA Load Calculator is a free tool that can help you identify your UPS requirements or our experienced team can offer support.

While in some instances you may require only a few minutes to switch to a backup generator, others scenarios may need extended coverage to ensure critical operations are maintained until power is restored, therefore it’s essential to determine the necessary runtime during a power outage.

It’s also important that you select a UPS provider that offers comprehensive support and maintenance services, including regular testing, battery replacement, and 24/7 technical assistance. At KOHLER, our service team is continuously trained, to ensure they have the most up to date technical expertise.

Understanding your challenges

At KUP we understand that the key challenges in healthcare power protection include:

• Compliance with multiple guidelines, regulations and healthcare specific standards including NSAI/ETC/TC 10 and IEC 60364 Part 7-710 or UK HTM-06-01 if relevant.
• Defining where UPS and battery systems are needed or can be appropriately located, especially on legacy estates

Our energy-efficient UPS systems range from modular three-phase units through to standalone models, and from compact single-phase UPS to specialise UPS designed to handle regenerative loads from evacuation lifts.

Completing the circle and ensuring maximum resilience, our own team of engineers are there to support you nationwide, 24/7, 365 days a year.

In addition, KOHLER can also offer their own range of compact, quiet and efficient generators that are factory-certified to run on sustainable HVO fuel.
