ROLLS-ROYCE SUPPLIES mtu KINETIC POWERPACKS TO X-FAB SARAWAK

Rolls-Royce has supplied and commissioned four of its mtu Kinetic PowerPacks to X-FAB Sarawak, the Malaysian division of X-FAB, the world's leading foundry group for speciality semiconductor applications. The dynamic uninterruptible power supply (DUPS) units secure the critical power load for operations at the company’s manufacturing site located in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

mtu Kinetic PowerPacks are engineered to perform seamlessly under the most demanding power supply challenges. They provide immediate, high-quality power through the use of kinetic energy. The units eliminate the need for batteries as in a standard UPS configuration, offer a much smaller footprint and are environmentally friendly due to their 20+ year equipment life and their ability to run on sustainable fuels such as HVO.

The four installed mtu Kinetic PowerPacks feature a medium voltage, parallel system configuration offering 2000 kVA (1600kW). They replace older, existing DUPS units from a different manufacturer that were experiencing ongoing issues with dropping critical load from the mains. In normal operation, when the public power supply is working, the mtu Kinetic PowerPacks use a choke - a heavy, rotating electromagnetic coil - to compensate for short-term current and voltage fluctuations in the power grid. The Kinetic PowerPacks also come with an mtu ValueCare service agreement, which provides preventative maintenance at regular intervals and technical support to ensure maximum performance.
