SU700X93 Overview

The Naval Safety Center reports most commercial electric equipment is unsuitable for use in the Navy’s ungrounded shipboard power system (Ref: COMNAVSAFECEN NORFOLK VA 280836FEB94). As the market leader in the UPS industry, American Power Conversion decided to resolve the safety issue, and develop the Smart-UPS Shipboard Series. This is a modified COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) UPS specifically designed to operate safely aboard ships and submarines. NSWCCD-SSES Philadelphia tested this unit to ensure it met all the navy shipboard electrical safety standards. Additionally, this unit meets DC resistance requirements
The Smart-UPS Shipboard Series includes a double-pole circuit breaker that will protect lines from overload and a double-pole power switch to insure the attached load is completely removed from the input power lines. These are necessary because a ship generates Delta power causing both power lines to be ‘hot’.
