Emerson’s SolaHD brand announced significant enhancements to its S4KD Industrial UPS Series, delivering unprecedented protection and performance for mission-critical equipment in harsh industrial environments. The upgraded 6kVA and 10kVA online double conversion UPS feature rugged full-steel construction, factory-installed network communications, and intelligent power management capabilities designed to maximize uptime and operational efficiency.
Building on the proven SolaHD S4KD UPS platform, the enhanced series introduces a reinforced full-steel enclosure and front bezel engineered for demanding industrial applications. The systems maintain true double conversion topology with unity power factor (1.0) to maximize connected load capacity while occupying a minimal footprint—delivering substantial space and cost savings in both centralized and edge computing locations.
Advanced Power Intelligence and Control
The upgraded S4KD Series introduces programmable outlet functionality, enabling automated power cycling of hung equipment and optimized battery utilization during outages. A full-color graphic LCD display with gravity-sensing orientation provides intuitive configuration and monitoring from any viewing angle, while the factory pre-installed RDU101 network interface card delivers immediate SNMP communications capability and environmental sensor support right out of the box.
“Industrial automation, robotics, and process control systems demand power protection that can withstand the harshest environments while delivering intelligent management capabilities,” said Kyle McLeod, Director of Sales – SolaHD, Appleton Group, Emerson. “The enhanced S4KD series combines industrial-grade construction with intuitive power management technology, giving our customers the reliability and control they need to protect their most critical operations.”
Comprehensive Protection with Operational Flexibility
The S4KD Series delivers continuous power conditioning with an input power factor greater than 0.99 and configurable 208/120V or 240/120V output options. Standard maintenance bypass capability on all 6kVA and 10kVA models ensures safe servicing without disrupting connected loads, while hot-swappable internal batteries and auto-detection of external battery cabinets provide scalable runtime tailored to application requirements.
Energy Star 2.0 certification, ECO Mode operation, and smart sleep mode functionality maximize energy efficiency without compromising protection. Rack/tower convertible configurations deliver deployment flexibility for diverse installation requirements, from data centers to factory floors.
