FLEXIPOWER MPA – 10kW – 200kW

Low TCO

Why is TCO so important?

UPS systems operate 24h a day and 365 days a year and for more than 10 years.

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a UPS System during its lifecycle is typically a multiple of the initial investment cost of the UPS system.

The following parameters have a major impact on TCO:

• UPS efficiency at partial/full load
• Cooling system efficiency
• Rightsizing the system power over time; Adding power without need of additional floor space
• Input PF and THDi

ENERGY – Low losses at partial loads will result in major energy savings

The major impact on the life-cycle cost of a UPS system is generated by the operating losses. The emitted heat in data centres must be evacuated by appropriate cooling systems that also generate losses and hence increase the overall operating losses.

In redundant UPS configurations single modules operate at partial loads typically at 40-60% of the rated UPS power.

FlexiPower MPA with its unique Energy Saving Inverter Switching (ESIS) technique has been designed to provide high efficiencies at partial and at rated loads. Refer to Features & Benefits for further information.

Rightsizing of the Power Protection System Over Time

Thanks to the ability of true modular UPS systems to easily scale power, it is possible to add power as the data centre power requirements grow. This eliminates the high initial investment cost of purchasing power capacity that is not required at the stage of installation and hence it helps avoid waste due to over sizing.

In addition, the correct sizing of the power protection system during the entire life-cycle helps keep the total cost of ownership low.

The unique FlexiPower MPA modular design with Safe-Swap modules guarantees safe power upgrading without the need of removing the power nor transferring the load to raw mains.

Power capacity can be added up to 200kW (250kVA) in one single rack without increasing the foot-print. If the power requirements grow above 200kW additional racks can be added to provide up to 800kW (900kVA) power.
