Caterpillar Critical Protection Module UPS system

The Caterpillar Critical Protection Module (CPM) is an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system that combines a CAT Flywheel UPS, CAT diesel generator and an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) packaged in a sound-attenuated and factory-tested ISO standard container.

A UPS system protects computers, data centres, telecommunications equipment and other electricals where an unexpected power disruption could cause serious business disruption or data loss.

The product is designed to provide seamless continuous power in a simple and complete package, delivering constant power protection against surges, sags and power interruptions that can halt operations or cause loss of data or system capacity.

The Caterpillar CPM uses robust digital components and is claimed to require a quarter of the floor space of battery-based UPS systems. Its ability to operate at higher temperatures may also reduce air-conditioning and electricity costs over the life of the product.
