A FEW MILLISECONDS’ OUTAGE CAN COST THOUSANDS OF EUROS
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:
- Bulky and expensive battery systems.
- Limited efficiency.
- Frequent maintenance.
OXYGEN ZERO: THE SMART ANSWER TO MICRO‑INTERRUPTIONS
Oxygen Zero is OrteaNext micro interruption compensator designed to ensure instantaneous continuity, without batteries.
HOW IT WORKS
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.
WHY CHOOSE OXYGEN ZERO
- No batteries: reduced maintenance, zero disposal costs.
- Long service life: 10 times longer than standard lead batteries.
- High performance: efficiency >99%.
- Ultra-fast response: <5ms.
- Scalable solution from 500kVA to 1500kVA.
- Maximum reliability even for highly unbalanced loads (up to 100%).
- Parameter display and management via 10″ touchscreen.
- Compact size and low weight.
- Modularity: expandable to increase autonomy.
OXYGEN ZERO K: GUARANTEED CONTINUITY AND INTEGRATED PROTECTION
Oxygen Zero K retains all the features of the base version and adds enhanced electromechanical protection.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES IN OXYGEN ZERO K:
- Increased safety for critical installations.
- Automatic circuit breakers at input and output.

WHEN TO CHOOSE AN ORTEA MICRO-INTERRUPTION COMPENSATOR
Oxygen Zero and Zero K are particularly suitable for:
- Industries with continuous production cycles
- Automation, robotics, CNC lines
- Installations with high risk of unpredictable micro‑outages
- Environments where UPS systems are not efficient
Oxygen is completely battery-free and is designed to ensure operational continuity, energy optimisation and lower management costs.
FAQ ABOUT MICRO INTERRUPTION COMPENSATORS
A quick guide to the most common questions about these power continuity solutions.
- Why choose a compensator instead of a UPS?
Ortea compensators offer the same continuity for brief outages but without batteries, leading to lower maintenance costs, higher efficiency and longer lifespan.
- How long do the supercapacitors last?
Their typical lifespan exceeds 10 years, without periodic replacements. Unlike batteries, supercapacitors do not undergo chemical degradation.
- Can I install it in an existing facility?
Yes, Oxygen can be installed in parallel with the line and integrated easily even in existing plants. Request a technical consultation for ideal sizing.
