Advantages and Features ABB APOW-02C

• Medium autonomy: With up to 4 hours of operation, ABB APOW-02C is optimal for systems that don’t require long autonomy but need reliability — such as medical laboratories with analyzers or production lines with robots.
• Accurate status indication: The LCD display and Modbus interface allow operators to monitor battery charge and prevent unexpected failures, critical for small data centers.
• Safety: The lithium-ion battery with multi-level protection (against overheating, short circuits) eliminates the risk of fire or damage in harsh conditions.
• Flexible integration: Compatibility with ABB power supplies and equipment from other brands simplifies deployment in diverse systems without additional modifications.

Application Cases of ABB APOW-02C in Industries

• Medical laboratories:
  • Backup power for analyzers and incubators: ABB APOW-02C prevents data loss during power outages during experiments.
• Industrial assembly lines:
  • Powering robot controllers and position sensors: The module ensures completion of current operations, preventing product defects.
• Small data centers:
  • Backup power for servers and cooling systems: ABB APOW-02C provides time to switch to generators, preventing operational failures.

Comparison with Competing Products

• Longer autonomy: 4 hours vs. 2 hours for APOW-01C under similar load.
• More accurate indication: LCD display with detailed information vs. simple LEDs in competitors.
• Wider temperature range: -10°C – 50°C vs. 0°C – 40°C for APOW-01C, expanding operating conditions.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

• Selection: Recommended for systems with medium autonomy requirements — medical laboratories, industrial lines, small data centers. Optimally paired with ABB APBU-44C and APBU-45C power supplies.
• Precautions:
  • For ABB APOW-02C, check the battery status annually via official ABB software to replace worn batteries in a timely manner.
  • Limit the number of full charge/discharge cycles to 500 per year to maintain a 6-year service life.
  • Mount the module in enclosures with good ventilation when operating at maximum load (2A) to avoid overheating.
  • Use only original cables for Modbus connection to prevent data distortion.
