CONCERN 1: Transfer Time to Battery

Transfer time, sometimes also called switchover time, is the amount of time a UPS will take to switch from utility to battery supply. If equipment tolerance is below UPS transfer time, the UPS will not provide power in sufficient time in order to keep your equipment running.

SOLUTION: Vertiv UPS systems provide little to no transfer time when moving from utility power to battery depending on the type of UPS system you choose.

Offline systems transfer to battery causes a very short interruption in power (typically 6-8 milliseconds).

Line-interactive UPS systems typically transfer from line power to battery-derived power within two to four milliseconds, which is more than fast enough to keep all but a small percentage of the most power-sensitive equipment operating without interruption.

On-line UPS systems d do not have a transfer time because the inverter is already supplying power to the connected equipment load when an outage occurs.

Check user manuals of your equipment for exact transfer time tolerance. We also have technical experts that can help ensure you choose the right UPS system for you specific application needs.

 

CONCERN 2: Mission Critical Data Outages for Commercial and Industrial Applications

When it comes to mission-critical applications, and the performance of the data center, downtime can be costly. Emerson Network Power study said that the average total cost per minute of an unplanned outage increased from $5,617 in 2010 to $7,908 in 2013 to $8,851 in 2016.

SOLUTION: Network/server UPS systems that use on-line operation and continuous double conversion provide the best protection and most reliable power available for critical systems. The double conversion process isolates equipment from power problems on the AC line and consistently delivers ideal output.

 

CONCERN 3: Battery Runtime

A factor to consider is the length of time that the load will operate on UPS-supplied power. Some loads may only require 15 to 30 minutes to be safely shutdown. Other loads, such as computers, servers, and telecommunication equipment may require power until utility power is restored.

SOLUTION:

Expandable-Runtime UPS Systems Many network/server UPS systems can also connect to one or more optional external battery packs to extend runtime. External batteries are large, costly and require periodic replacement, so it pays to provide a reasonable estimate of your runtime requirements. If your application requires an extremely long runtime, you may wish to supplement the UPS system with a standby generator.

Load Shedding Load shedding allows you to prioritize the battery backup runtime of your critical equipment by automatically turning off non-essential equipment during longer outages. Network/server UPS systems or connected PDUs that have controllable outlets allow you to set up load shedding.

 

CONCERN 4: Supporting Different Equipment Voltages

Multi-voltage support is essential today to supply the right amount of electricity to computers and peripherals when the main electrical supply fails.

SOLUTION: Vertiv UPS outlets can be independently programmed to support different voltages (240/120, 208/120, 230/115, 220/110, or 200/100) for different equipment. This provides the flexibility to adapt multiple load requirements without the need to add additional transformers that will take up extra space and weight.

 

CONCERN 5: Shutdowns for Maintenance and Battery Repair

Routine preventative maintenance is critical to uptime and to protect sensitive electronics especially in mission-critical applications. At some point it will be necessary to take the UPS offline for maintenance and that means costly system downtime.

SOLUTION: Many Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system have addressed the down time associated with routine battery maintenance by offering a “hot swappable battery” feature integral to their UPS design. These batteries can be replaced without powering down the UPS system or your equipment to ensure no costly downtime.
