DRUPS for Mission-Critical Infrastructure
Integrated DRUPS systems for uninterrupted critical power
For data centers, healthcare facilities, and other critical operations, even short power interruptions can have serious consequences.
Elektromatik delivers fully integrated DRUPS systems designed, integrated, commissioned, and supported to maintain continuous power when the grid supply fails.
A DRUPS solution can help you achieve:
- Zero transfer time between grid and backup power
- Reduced footprint compared to traditional UPS and generator setups
- High tolerance for transient loads and dynamic demand
- Full lifecycle responsibility from engineering to 24/7 service

When power fails, operations must continue
Grid instability is increasing, while power density and compliance requirements continue to rise across critical sectors. In data centers, healthcare facilities and other critical environments, even milliseconds of interruption can result in:
- Data loss
- System shutdown
- Operational disruption
- Regulatory consequences
- Financial loss
DRUPS helps maintain continuous power without transfer delay and with lower system complexity.
What Is a DRUPS System?
DRUPS stands for Diesel Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supply.
It combines a diesel generator and a rotary UPS into one integrated unit. Unlike traditional setups where a static UPS and a generator operate as separate systems, DRUPS ensures continuous mechanical energy transfer without interruption.
How a DRUPS system works:
- The rotary unit provides continuous power conditioning.
- Kinetic energy storage bridges any grid disturbance.
- The diesel engine starts automatically during grid failure.
- The system continues supplying uninterrupted power without switching delays.
Why rotary instead of static UPS?
- No battery dependency as primary backup
- Higher tolerance for sudden load changes
- Lower complexity
- Reduced system interfaces
- Simplified maintenance structure
For high-load, high-density environments such as AI-enabled data centers, this stability is critical.
DRUPS vs separate UPS and generator systems
Traditional critical power architectures often rely on separate UPS, battery, and generator systems.
| Separate UPS + generator setup | DRUPS |
|---|---|
| Separate systems | Integrated solution |
| Larger footprint | More compact design |
| Battery-based bridging | Kinetic energy bridging |
| More interfaces to manage | Fewer system interfaces |
| Multiple vendors and service points | One integrated solution partner |
