Production of textiles benefits from high productivity (OEE). Any disturbances due to power problems, lead to loss of material, production stand still and need for reset and restart of equipment.

Production equipment is highly sensitive to power problems. Industry research shows that the main part of equipment failures is caused by (short term) power problems. Due to the fact that most textile production has shifted to countries with less reliable utility power supply, the number of power quality problems increases depending on the quality of the grid.

Prevention of production stops and thus high availability of equipment is crucial for the commercial success of a textile production facility. Depending on the production situation Hitec Power Protection offers Ride Through systems to protect against 95% of all (short term) power problems, which can also be used as an addition to existing diesel generator sets already installed. Diesel rotary UPS systems protect against all power problems, including long-term power outages.
