Now you can get higher, more
efficient UPS reliability by taking
advantage of Liebert’s world-class
flywheel energy storage technology.
Liebert’s flywheel technology
provides superior performance
without the high cost of ownership
and environmental impact associated
with batteries.
Flywheel Technology
Offers Many Advantages
The compact, lightweight, and
reliable Liebert FS flywheel system is
safe and environmentally friendly. It
offers a low installation cost, small
footprint, low maintenance and long
operating life. It provides quick
recharge and operates under a wide
range of temperatures. The patented
safety system provides a safe
shutdown under all circumstances.
The flywheel system’s unique
operating features, such as rapid
recharging and broad operating
temperature range, allow the Liebert
FS to be installed in applications
where batteries have previously
been ruled out.

Liebert FS Flywheel System
The Liebert FS flywheel DC energy storage system is
designed to be a more efficient and reliable
alternative to standard battery systems used with
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The
advanced, high-RPM, composite flywheel
technology used in the Liebert FS provides 190 kW
of instant ride-through DC power and voltage
stabilization for approximately 10 seconds—
more than enough for the vast majority of
electrical disturbances.
The Liebert FS can be used as the sole back-up DC
energy device or in conjunction with conventional
battery strings or generator sets. When used along
with batteries, the flywheel system will eliminate
their use for short power fluctuations, helping to
extend life and save capacity for longer outages. It
can also be used alone to provide ride-through
power until back-up generators come on line.
The Liebert FS is engineered to support larger
Liebert UPS systems, including the Liebert Npower
and Liebert Series 610 models. A single flywheel
can be sized to support UPS systems up to 225 kVA.
Multiple flywheel systems can operate in parallel to
support larger systems.
■ Rides load through to generator
■ Magnitude increases in
reliability/availability
■ Eliminates battery
maintenance/replacement
■ Significantly reduces life cycle costs
■ Increases productive floor space
■ Eliminates floor-loading issues
■ Eliminates health & safety issues
■ Eliminates environmental issues
■ Isolates batteries from cycling
■ Rides load through to generator
■ Magnitude increases in
reliability/availability
■ Extends battery life
■ Minimizes battery
maintenance/replacement
■ Significantly reduces costs over
dual strings
When the primary power source
goes down, it’s vital that the UPS has
a reliable DC power source to deliver
energy to the critical loads. The
Liebert FS stores energy kinetically
via flywheel inertia rather than
relying on chemical reactions of toxic
lead and sulfuric acid.
Reliable ride-through energy storage, with or
without batteries.
