Newly Revised for 2010 Updates...

The 2010 Large UPS Product Evaluation Report

This study examines the state-of-the-art (2010) offerings by eight of the largest* Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) manufacturers in the 500 KVA and larger capacity range.  Competitive comparisons are presented covering the following areas:

• Dynamic Performance (Step Loading, Fault Clearing, Harmonics Handling, etc.)

• Reliability/ Availability

• Scalability and Redundancy Issues

• Green Issues (Efficiency, Recycle Concerns, Overall Power Consumption, Rebate Potential, etc.)

• Logistical Concerns (Space, Weight, Seismic)

• Service and Support (relative strength/weakness of service organizations and apps support)

• Price/LCC Cost
   

Key areas of concern for Facility Engineers, IT Managers, Green Initiative Supervisors, and Consulting Engineering firms are dealt with in real world terms.  The trade-off of mission reliability/availability for improved efficiency and green impact for manufacture's new product releasers.  What works and what doesn't, experientially.  What you can believe and what you should not regarding manufacturer claims.  Why some UPS/CPS systems that tout high efficiency fall flat in actual testing at real world loading.  In short, the "bible" for any team contemplating a larger UPS purchase within the next year.

The authors are acknowledged experts in UPS technology with 30 years of experience in critical facilities design, UPS system application engineering, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance, including specific hands-on experience with well over 100 UPS installations in the multi-hundred KW and Multi-MW range.  This 58 page study incorporates vendor factory input (including substantial factory tests when authorized), actual end user interviews, in-house testing data, commissioning data, product technical specifications, and related data.
