SELECTING A UPS

Which UPS is Right for Your Customer?

Our approach to power protection revolves around the nine most common power problems present in any work environment. You can choose from a variety of power protection devices with varying levels of effectiveness and price that will shield critical data and equipment from some or all of the nine power problems.

There are three types of UPS: Series 3, Series 5, and Series 9. To choose the UPS that is right for your customer, first determine the level of power protection that is needed. It is obvious that the ideal is to provide the full protection from all power problems afforded by a Powerware Series 9 UPS. But there may be applications where the power quality is known to be high, or where the load is not considered critical, or where budget considerations force a compromise.

Series 3 UPS

The Series 3 UPS offers a low-price solution to environments requiring minimal power protection. Utility power is provided during normal operation. Harmonic distortion present in the utility line passes through to the load.

What the Experts Say:

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)

Power equipment is susceptible to mis-operation caused by harmonic distortion. General harmonic distortion limits are recommended in IEEE Table 3.3.1 for systems operating at less than 69 kV: less than 5.0% voltage total harmonic distortion (THD) and less than 3.0% individual harmonic voltage distortion.

Series 5 UPS

Series 5 UPSs provide basic power protection at mid range prices. Line-interactive UPSs provide more voltage regulation than off-line. Harmonic distortion, however, passes through unaffected.

Series 9 UPS

Series 9 UPSs are ideally suited to protect critical equipment. Online UPSs protect against all types of power problems and continuously use the inverter to create clean, new, regulated power. Harmonic distortion, no matter how high, cannot pass through to the load.

Powerware Series 9 UPSs isolate equipment from harmonic distortion and are strongly recommended for critical applications that must meet the 5% maximum harmonic requirement stated in major computer manufacturer specifications and installation guides.

By converting incoming AC power to DC and then back to AC, the UPS eliminates voltage fluctuations and protects sensitive electronic equipment from surges, sags, and other electrical anomalies.

The system is equipped with various connectivity options, including USB and serial communication ports, which facilitate easy monitoring and management of power settings. With user-friendly interfaces, operators can quickly access vital information about the UPS’s performance, battery status, and load levels. Additionally, options for network management cards allow for remote monitoring, which is essential for data centers or facilities that require constant oversight of their power systems.

Another notable characteristic of the Powerware 1500 VA - 60 kVA is its scalability. Users can seamlessly expand the UPS capacity by adding additional power modules, making it a future-proof investment that can grow alongside the organization. This feature is particularly valuable for businesses anticipating growth or increased power demands in the future.

The Energy Saver System (ESS) technology integrated into the Powerware series helps to optimize energy efficiency, reducing operating costs while maintaining high performance. By using smart algorithms to minimize losses, the UPS can operate in eco-friendly modes without compromising reliability.

Furthermore, the Powerware UPS units are designed with high availability in mind, featuring hot-swappable batteries and modular designs that allow for easy maintenance without interrupting the power supply. This high-reliability design ensures that operations remain consistent and that downtime is minimized.

Overall, the Powerware 1500 VA - 60 kVA UPS is an exceptional choice for businesses seeking a dependable power protection solution. With its advanced technologies, scalability, and energy efficiency features, it meets the demands of critical applications while delivering consistent performance and reliability.
