Availability as a metric
The higher the Availability, the lower the Downtime
x 100%
Availability of 99.99% = (4nines)
What is the downtime in 1 year?
Hours in a year = 8760
Downtime = 8760 x (100% - 99.99%)
Downtime = 0.876 hours
Downtime = 52.6 minutes

Actively monitored fans

Load: 100 kW

Charger
Voltage: 230V

The fans speed are constantly monitored

- Anticipate unexpected malfunctioning
- Replacement only when needed (<TCO)

Integrated back-feed protection

Every module includes - Reduced system cost
• Static bypass - Increased safety for service personnel
• Power unit
working on the UPS incoming supply
• Control logic
• Control panel
• Back-feed protection Graphical interface
- Simplify system configuration, troubleshooting
- Comprehensive information

The UPS gradually increases the power supplied

from the utility to the load
- Higher load protection
- Generator compatibility avoid trip of its
breakers
Every module includes
• Static bypass Superior efficiency
• Power unit 97.1% - Pay less for every kWh
• Control logic - Cost of energy and cooling system
• Control panel downsized (Reduced TCO)
• Back-feed protection

In-frame, per module, front access

Bypass fuses (usually inside the module) DC Battery line protection

- Increases availability - Easy access to battery line isolation and
- Reduces MTTR protection

Parallel output isolator (usually not present) Fault tolerant ring parallel communication bus
- Eliminates human error on power (usually single communication line)
upgrades/downgrades - Reduces system costs
- Allows for full module test in-hot-frame - Increases safety for service personnel
The UPS frame
Our modular concept

Manual bypass
- Reduces system costs
- Increases safety for service personnel

Dual or single-input feed (Field configurable)

- Two separate power pads protects the
critical load when the load is transferred to
static bypass

Hot-swappable
- Load always protected on inverter
- Lower repair and service time

Top or bottom cable entry

- Increased Flexibility on installation
- Ease of Infrastructure project developments

Triple-mode parallel communication

X Single communication line
× Single point of failure
× Single communication electronics
X Ring (dual) communication line
 Communication remains if there is a
disconnection
× System fails when a cable is cut
× Wrong signal when there are
disruptions/noises in the line
 Triple-mode parallel bus
 Three independent communication lines
and three electronics (one on each module)
 Cable cutting resistant
 Redundant signal to overcome eventual
noises
