CERN

CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Today has 21 member states plus some observers, including non-European countries. CERN main purpose is to provide scientists with the tools needed for research in high energy-physics. In 2008 came into operation at CERN, Geneva, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC abbreviated) particle accelerator largest and most powerful ever built, used for experimental research in the field of physics of particles.

Borri Spa has provided both AC and DC. After a joint analysis with experts, CERN, has opted for a distributed power protection system, with equipment of various sizes that feed, in a redundant configuration, security systems and controlled shutdown of the accelerator. All UPS units are characterized by Borri technology sinusoidal absorption input (unity power factor and harmonic current distortion less than 3%) and they are derived from B8000FXS, B9000FXS and B9600FXS series with customisations that involved special painting and the system EPO (UPS emergency Power Off ).
