SOLAHD
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SOLAHD from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between SolaHD power conditioners and SolaHD UPS systems?
SolaHD power conditioners regulate AC voltage and filter transients but do not provide backup power during an outage. They are typically panel-mount or floor-standing units, such as the 3 kVA model (SKU 5EU18), which accepts 110–415 V AC input and delivers regulated 110–240 V AC output. SolaHD UPS systems, including the SDU500B and SDU850B, provide battery backup and surge protection for connected equipment. Selection depends on whether the application requires voltage regulation only or also needs ride-through during power loss.
What are the input and output voltage ranges for SolaHD DC input UPS systems?
SolaHD DC input UPS systems, such as the SDU1024B (240 VA) and SDU2024B (480 VA), accept 23–30 V DC input and provide regulated 23–30 V DC output. These units are single-phase standby UPS systems designed for continuous DC power backup in industrial applications. They are suitable for 24 V DC control circuits and other low-voltage DC equipment that requires uninterrupted power. The output is regulated to maintain stable voltage within the specified range.
What surge protection ratings are available in SolaHD chase-nipple external-mount SPDs?
SolaHD chase-nipple external-mount SPDs are available for several system voltages. The single-phase model (SKU 19L438) is rated 240 V AC with a maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV) of 320 V AC and a surge capacity of 1000 V (L-L)/1200 V (L-G). Three-phase models include the STV100K48D for 480 V AC Delta systems (MCOV 575/640 V AC, 2000 V L-G/L-L) and the STV100K10Y for 120/208 V AC Wye systems (MCOV 1,000 V AC, 1000 V L-L/600 V L-N/700 V L-G, N-G). All are housed in metal enclosures for external mounting via chase nipple.
Can SolaHD power conditioners be used in three-phase applications?
SolaHD offers both single-phase and three-phase power conditioners. The sample product listed here (SKU 5EU18) is a single-phase panel-mount unit rated 3 kVA. For three-phase applications, SolaHD provides other models in its catalog. Selection depends on the system configuration, load requirements, and available panel space. 3G Electric can assist with identifying the appropriate model based on input voltage, output voltage, and power rating.
What are typical applications for SolaHD SPDs and UPS systems?
SolaHD SPDs are used to protect electrical distribution systems and sensitive equipment from voltage transients. Chase-nipple external-mount models are often installed on enclosures in industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and institutional settings. SolaHD UPS systems, such as the SDU500B and SDU850B, provide backup power for industrial control panels, PLC systems, and other hardwired 120 V AC equipment. DC input UPS systems support 24 V DC control circuits and similar low-voltage DC loads requiring continuous power.
What enclosure types are used for SolaHD surge protective devices?
SolaHD chase-nipple external-mount SPDs are supplied in metal enclosures. These enclosures are designed for external mounting on electrical panels or equipment via a chase nipple, which allows for secure installation and protection of the internal components. The metal construction provides durability and helps with heat dissipation. Specific enclosure dimensions and materials may vary by model; refer to the product datasheet for exact specifications.
