DRUPS conversions

Create a new standby power system using your existing DRUPS infrastructure. Converting a Diesel/Dynamic Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supply (DRUPS) unit into a fully functional generator helps save time, reduce costs, minimize disruption, and limit environmental impact.

DRUPS systems were designed to combine the advantages of a static UPS system with a diesel generator.

A DRUPS system takes up less space and does not require continuous cooling, unlike traditional static UPS systems. However, maintaining it involves more frequent and more expensive servicing.

When a building’s function or infrastructure changes, the need for standby power often changes as well. Converting existing DRUPS units into generators—rather than replacing the entire system—allows you to adapt to new requirements with lower costs, shorter delivery times, and a reduced environmental impact.

The most expensive component of a generator set is the engine. Retaining the existing engine means significant savings compared with purchasing a new package. In addition, most DRUPS components remain in place, which reduces waste and the need to manufacture new equipment. Also, by limiting crane operations and transport, you can save on logistics.

Importantly, the project delivery time is significantly shorter. A new alternator is typically available in less than half the standard lead time for a new generator set. Most preparatory work can be carried out in parallel with alternator production, so the conversion is completed much faster than building a new set.
