The Uninterruptible Power Supply system (UPS) is a necessity for companies,
organisations, institutions or the government agencies requiring critical power
protection for their daily operations.
EURO-DIESEL’s high performing NO-BREAK KS® is a Diesel Rotary UPS system that uses a
kinetic energy accumulator as an energy storage device, instead of traditional large
lead-acid battery cells.
Placed between the mains and the load, the NO-BREAK KS® systems act as a
filtering and conditioning mechanism, ensuring high quality power to the load and
continuing the supply for an unlimited period of time in case of an outage.
They range in small power steps from 100 kVA up to 2500 kVA per unit for 50 Hz and
up to 3000 kVA for 60 Hz. For projects requiring large critical loads, the NO-BREAK KS®
can be paralleled and designed in Low Voltage or in Medium Voltage configurations up to
24 kV.
Built with the latest technology, the NO-BREAK KS® system has been referenced by
companies worldwide since its conception more than 20 years ago.
It is engineered to meet the most stringent level of reliability, highest efficiency, long
lifespan and consequently, lowest economical and operational cost.

STATO-ALTERNATOR
HOW IT WORKS In case of a power outage, the kinetic energy accumulated in the outer rotor
(or accu-rotor) supplies the load until the diesel engine is running at its rated speed.
Within seconds, the diesel engine becomes the source of power and this is how your
critical loads are always fully secured.
All this happens, without the slightest interruption or aberration to the load.
The inner rotor, driven by the main shaft, rotates at 1500 rpm (50 Hz) or 1800 rpm
(60 Hz). It contains two sets of windings; a three-phase AC winding and a DC winding.

This user-friendly Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touch-screen panel has many value-added features and
enables easy access to the electrical and mechanical measurements of the NO-BREAK KS®, the statuses, the

Each control panel of the NO-BREAK KS®5 series is equipped with KS-VISION® as a standard component. Besides
the local HMI, KS-VISION® can also be accessed via modem, Modbus/Profibus protocol, Local Area Network or
World Wide Web.
There are multiple enhancements associated with the KS-VISION® one can find today, notably in terms of
reliability and maintainability of the NO-BREAK KS®. For example, you can save on downtime thanks to the
braking mechanism on the accu-rotor (outer rotor) that helps with a reduced servicing time, a reduced number
of engine starts and more.
