6 x 600 Farads High Load
Support

Composed of six 600F/3.0V supercapacitors, capable of supporting a maximum load of 150W for up to 60 seconds of extended safe operation under 25°C

Flexible Mounting and Seamless Integration

Multiple mounting hole designs make installation easy and hassle-free. No need for a complicated installation process

Rapid Charge and
Discharge

Industries benefit from reduced downtime and increased productivity due to quick power backup during interruptions

Wide Temperature Operation

The supercapacitor power module is suitable for installation in particularly hot and cold environments without the need for air conditioning

Ensuring Safe Shutdown

Studies by the Electric Power Research Institute have shown that approximately 83% of power outages last less than 10 seconds. These outages often occur during summer thunderstorms when lightning strikes near electrical equipment, causing voltage fluctuations. Since the duration of these outages is short, there is usually no need for long-term storage solutions like batteries. Instead, using a supercapacitor power backup approach can offer a reliable and uninterrupted power supply to sensitive equipment, providing protection against downtime and potential damage.

The RHEA-I660A consists of six 600F supercapacitors. The backup power module can provide enough power for your system to operate for up to 60 seconds during a sudden power outage. This allows you to safely shut down your system or wait until the main power is restored.

10-year Longlife and Cost-Effective
Back-Up Power Solution

The lifespan of supercapacitors is solely restricted by the evaporation of the electrolyte. Supercaps UPS, on the other hand, have a lifespan that is theoretically infinite. The distinctive features of supercapacitors make IEI's RHEA-I660A an economically viable alternative for your backup power solution. These performance traits lead to substantial cost savings throughout the lifespan of a UPS application. The extent of the savings depends on how often batteries need to be replaced, potentially reducing the total lifetime costs.

* IEI Supercapacitors Power Module, by default, sets the operating lifetime at 10 years. Users can unbind the time by adjusting the operating temperature or working voltage to get a new estimated lifetime.
