Turn-key solutionsÂ
IEM Power Systems is committed to providing the most reliable and efficient power systems in the world. Especially for energy critical applications, we have designed our UPS systems to fully protect "No-Break Loads" from electrical faults. We also improve overall power quality with the Rotabloc for a wide range of applications.
IEM Power Systems has developed the complete UPS system (the Rotabloc) to protect critical No-Break Loads from electrical failures in case of power outages, voltage spikes, irregularities and slow voltage fluctuations. The Rotabloc uses simple, conventional electrical and mechanical components while being very robust.
The system consists of a standard synchronous generator with no special windings and a simple steel flywheel. The low-speed shaft extends bearing life and reduces maintenance.
The ROTABLOC RUPS is very robust because its critical functions do not use vulnerable components such as power electronics, power capacitors, batteries, active magnetic bearings, electromechanical or mechanical friction couplings.
Benefits of the Rotabloc
Our highly efficient Rotabloc RUPS supports our goals of minimizing your impact on the environment and reducing the effects of rising energy costs in the future.
The ROTABLOC design, made almost entirely of steel and copper, makes it more than 99.97% recyclable.
No batteries are required, no expensive replacement cycle, no expensive disposal of hazardous materials
Air conditioning is not necessary (for a UPS, air conditioning for the battery rooms is a significant cost and impacts the environment)
Dynamic autonomy control (DAC): Automatic speed adjustment for optimum efficiency under partial load with
FULL critical load protection 95% of all voltage interruptions last less than 1 second (European urban locations) the RBT protects the load without generator starts. (This is configurable to maximize RBT power or compensate for short interruptions).
- Easy and limited maintenance and thus low maintenance costs and long service life
THE POWER OF SDM Projects

Rotabloc RBT Overview
Normal operation
The IEM Rotabloc protects your electrical load from various current-quality problems caused by eliminating harmonics, voltage variations, voltage spikes and voltage dips, among others.
Rotabloc's power quality protection prevents damage to your company's infrastructure such as damage to motors and pumps. This reduces any maintenance downtime required to repair or replace such damage. Thus, you can avoid more than 95% of the power problems your company faces each year.
General grid failure
During a power failure or outage, the Rotabloc protects the load and maintains the power supply at the correct voltage and frequency. The alternator supplies the necessary stored energy from the accumulator without any interruption.
During prolonged power outages, the load is automatically transferred to your chosen backup power source, usually a diesel generator. As soon as stable mains power is restored, the Rotabloc safely takes over the load again and is again ready to protect your business.

Technical advantages of the ROTABLOC:
Standard synchronous generator (no special windings), simple low-speed steel flywheel and shaft for longer bearing life with very low maintenance.
"SDM's mission is to address and alleviate electrical failure and power outage problems and to provide alternative means for reliable power equipment. SDM offers a solution for every type of application."
IEM Power Systems has developed the complete UPS system to protect critical / 'No-Break Loads' from electrical failures in case of power outages, voltage transients or slow voltage fluctuations.
Our simple, robust design ensures low maintenance and guarantees maximum reliability.
Rotabloc is electrically connected to the backup generator, which offers the following advantages, among others:
Remote location of the generator - saves valuable internal space
No mechanical wear when the generator is on - greater reliability and less maintenance
Safe separate testing or maintenance of the energy storage unit and motor generator
Ability to use a site's existing generator
Rotabloc UPS also uses an electromagnetic coupling to harvest stored energy without friction or wear during prolonged grid outages. This patented power transfer system reduces maintenance and further increases reliability.
No other UPS offers the same simplicity, reliability and efficiency as the Rotabloc system.
The result is a RUPS with the most favorable TCO for your project.
IEM Power Systems is the only UPS manufacturer to factory build, integrate and test your system as standard.
SDM-Projects is a Total Solution Provider for Microgrid control.

All critical facilities require uninterrupted, high quality electrical power to support their 24 x 365 mission
Critical facilities prioritize continuity of service and, because of their high levels of power use, efficiency of operations. IEM Power Systems provide power distribution and control systems, as well as our own, highly dependable, UPS solutions. IEM delivers safe, reliable and efficient power solutions for all critical power facilities and can provide individual items or complete integrated systems.
Rotabloc UPS
Rotabloc UPS - provides a simple and reliable rotary UPS solution that will efficiently protect your critical loads from variable power quality and sustained interruptions to supply. Rotabloc is a robust, space saving UPS, which is virtually maintenance free. Rotabloc delivers a low TCO and high efficiency across a wide range of loads that will contribute to a reduced PUE.
Power Distribution Units (PDUs).
Large scale data centers require PDUs to further reduce the higher voltages that allow efficient distribution to data floors across the facility. IEM Power Systems' Power Distribution Units accept a wide range of voltages, with output to the data floor typically specified at 400 to 480 volts. IEM's custom made PDUs can be matched to your preferred transformer with options for isolation and controls.

Single Module RBT
Single Module
RBT With Generator for continuous power supply A single module is the basic building block for larger scale systems. However, single modules are sometimes deployed where voltage regulation and protection against short disturbances ("transients") are a prime concern and where a lower level of resiliency is acceptable.
In 'n+0' configurations the power of the RUPS matches the power required by the "No-Break" load (guarantees that power is available 99.95% of the time). Such 'n+0' solutions are very e cient, have a lower CapEx cost and are suited to operations where downtime is to be avoided and mains power quality is inconsistent.
Parallel Installation
Parallel Installation
Employing redundant modules (n+1) in a parallel configuration builds extra resiliency into your power protection system. It means that even if multiple incidents occur at the same time, for instance, the mains fails whilst the diesel genset is being maintained, the 'redundant module' can automatically protect the load and ensure that your operations continue una ected.
This approach pushes guaranteed power availability to levels nearer the 99.999% (5 nines) which is regarded as the 'holy grail' of uptime. Such a system is essential only where the load must never be unprotected - data centers, banks and telecoms with strict service level contracts insist on this and even higher levels of resiliency.
Medium Voltage
Recognition of the advantages of Medium Voltage (MV) systems in facilities with high power requirements is growing. The benefits include: ease of power distribution, lower TCO, improved safety, reduced maintenance / greater reliability, enhanced flexibility in current and future power infrastructure and improved green credentials with lower embodied energy and lower energy usage.
IEM Power Systems can provide RUPS systems that will support MV in your facility, delivering high quality, continuous MV power to your operation. We are experts in Medium Voltage and can utilize IEM's Vesta-AR arc-resistant metal-clad switchgear, is the leading MV solution for distributing power safely and e ciently throughout your building. Our state of the art Jacksonville (USA) facility has been designed to test both LV and MV systems and we are the only RUPS manufacturer who can fully integrate and test MV solutions in the factory before shipping.
Using medium voltage solutions may allow your facility design to minimize cabling, reducing capital expenditure and the impact of your facility on the environment. Whether you employ a low voltage or medium voltage design, our simplified approach minimizes embodied energy costs and maximizes operating effciency.
