EXCEN NRG 3K ATEX/IECEx Certified UPS System for Hazardous Areas (Zone 1/2/21/22)

NRG 3K: The ATEX & IECEx Certified UPS That Keeps Critical Systems Powered in Hazardous Areas

The EXCEN NRG 3K is a backup power system built for hazardous areas where losing power is not an option. Certified to ATEX and IECEx for Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22, it delivers continuous, stable power of up to 6 kVA in its standard configuration to instrumentation, control, and auxiliary systems during power outages or mains fluctuations.

Engineered for Hazardous Locations

The NRG 3K carries ATEX and IECEx certification and an IP66 protection rating, allowing it to operate reliably in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts may be present. It is mounted on a robust frame and works across a wide ambient temperature range, and enclosures in copper free aluminum or SS316L Exd are available on request for especially demanding sites.

From onshore facilities and offshore platforms to refineries and chemical plants, the NRG 3K protects the safety-related equipment that keeps operations running.

Built for Reliable Backup Power

With a fast transfer time of 15 ms or less, the NRG 3K switches to battery power quickly enough to keep sensitive equipment running without interruption. It outputs a pure sine wave at 230 Vac (±2%) or 120 Vac, with a crystal-controlled frequency that can be programmed from 45 to 65 Hz. A glass inspection window lets operators check system status and alarms at a glance without opening the enclosure.

Furthermore, the NRG 3K is supplied as a ready-to-install solution, complete with an ATEX & IECEx certified battery in a stainless steel enclosure. Customers can choose AGM, GEL, or NiCd battery technology, and a dedicated battery breaker between the UPS and battery makes maintenance safe and simple. Its modular design can be adapted to each application, with power distribution and system bypass available as options.

FAQs: Understanding Hazardous Area UPS Systems

What is a hazardous area UPS?

A hazardous area UPS is an uninterruptible power supply certified for use in locations where explosive gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. It provides backup power to critical equipment such as emergency shutdown systems and fire and gas detection systems when the main power supply fails or becomes unstable.

What are the benefits of a certified UPS vs a standard UPS in a safe area?

In a head-to-head comparison, a certified hazardous area UPS like the NRG 3K offers several key advantages:

• Installed Where It Is Needed: ATEX and IECEx certification allows the UPS to be installed inside the hazardous area, close to the equipment it protects, rather than in a remote safe area.
• Complete, Certified System: The UPS and its battery bank are both ATEX & IECEx certified and delivered ready to install.
• Built for Harsh Conditions: IP66 protection, a robust frame, and optional corrosion-resistant coatings help the system hold up in demanding industrial environments.

The NRG 3K is more than a backup battery. It is a complete, certified power protection system for critical equipment in hazardous industrial settings. Feel free to contact Exloc at 281-978-2040 if you need more information about the EXCEN NRG 3K UPS System.
