Oxygen Zero and Oxygen Zero K are Ortea’s micro-interruption compensators that ensure continuity of the production process by compensating for micro-interruptions in the mains supply of up to 1 second (expandable with derating) at full load without the use of batteries. IGBT technology and supercapacitors for high performance, response times <5ms and maximum efficiency.
In automated production lines, even a power drop shorter than one second can cause unexpected shutdowns, errors in CNC machines, data loss in PLCs or resets in supervisory systems. All these translate into downtime, production scrap and unforeseen expenses.
Although traditional uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are widely used, they are not always ideal in industrial settings:
Oxygen Zero is OrteaNext micro interruption compensator designed to ensure instantaneous continuity, without batteries.
It uses an IGBT + supercapacitor topology to sense loss of supply and intervene in less than 5 milliseconds, ensuring continuous power for a configurable duration of up to 10 seconds.
Oxygen Zero K retains all the features of the base version and adds enhanced electromechanical protection.
Also available in the same power ranges (500-1500kVA), Oxygen Zero K is ideal for those who need comprehensive protection in high‑demand environments.
Oxygen Zero and Zero K are particularly suitable for:
Oxygen is completely battery-free and is designed to ensure operational continuity, energy optimisation and lower management costs.
A quick guide to the most common questions about these power continuity solutions.
Ortea compensators offer the same continuity for brief outages but without batteries, leading to lower maintenance costs, higher efficiency and longer lifespan.
Their typical lifespan exceeds 10 years, without periodic replacements. Unlike batteries, supercapacitors do not undergo chemical degradation.
Yes, Oxygen can be installed in parallel with the line and integrated easily even in existing plants. Request a technical consultation for ideal sizing.
