SITOP UPS500S capacitor UPS, 24V DC / 15A output, 5kWs storage, USB interface, IP20.
The Siemens 6EP1933-2EC51 is a SITOP UPS500S basic unit, a maintenance-free capacitor-based DC UPS rated 24 V DC / 15 A output with a 5 kWs energy store, drawing 15.2 A at the 24 V DC input. It bridges 15 A for 9 s (or 5 A for 31 s) without a battery and adds a USB interface for status and configuration.
This is the basic UPS500S unit with a 5 kWs capacitor store, USB interface, and 15 A rated output, aimed at bridges measured in seconds rather than minutes: 15 A for 9 s or 5 A for 31 s. Because it uses capacitors, not a lead-acid battery module, there is no periodic battery replacement and the 97.5% efficiency exceeds the battery-based SITOP DC UPS modules. Add the SITOP UPS501S extension module when the application needs a longer buffering time than the basic unit alone provides.
Bridges brief 24 V DC dropouts for PLCs, drives, and remote I/O during supply switchover or short interruptions, where a maintenance-free capacitor store is preferred over a lead-acid battery.
