High-efficiency half megawatt UPS extracts 20 percent more active
power from grid supply
Emerson Network Power, a
business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and the global leader in enabling
Business-Critical Continuity™, today presented the enhanced Chloride
80-NET™ uninterruptible power supply (UPS), enabling data centres to
increase their load by 20 percent, providing higher efficiencies and
a lower capital expenditure, without taking up valuable floor space.
The launch of the 300-400 and 500kW versions, now available in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa, India, South East Asia,
Australia and New Zealand, Central and Latin America, follows a
technical breakthrough in semiconductor technology that allows
transformers to be eliminated from large standalone UPS. The
replacement of transformers by digital, near instantaneous control
of voltage and current, means that up to 20 percent more active
power can be passed on to the load by the biggest standalone UPS - a
development with major commercial implications.
“The latest Chloride 80-NET™ is the best performing transformer-free
stand-alone UPS in its power range. It provides 20 percent more
active power than alternative devices, market leading efficiency and
is compatible with all modern, business critical loads and
pre-existing equipment,” explained Lamberto Tassara, president of
Chloride products and services, Emerson Network Power. “The
technology solves two major problems for data centres. Firstly, it
frees them from the limited availability of grid power, and secondly
it significantly cuts the capital costs and achieves high energy
efficiency.”
The device achieves a significant 98 percent throughput efficiency
whilst conforming to all requirements for Tier 4 power protection.
As part of the enhancement, a 10 inch, 15 language touch screen user
interface has been developed to allow full interactive control of
the UPS. It allows users to see all the information and measurements
related to the upstream network and connected load, as well as the
status of the unit.
Key characteristics of the new Chloride 80-NET™ include:
Transformer-free technology for maximum installation compatibility
Full IGBT double conversion technology
Enhanced fault clearing capacity
Fully interactive user interface
Excellent input performances for complete compatibility with all
upstream equipment
High conversion efficiency (certified up to 98 percent)
Capability of powering, without de-rating, all loads irrespective of
the PF (leading or lagging)
Automatic output power upgrade up to+10 percent
UPS personal ID card, containing all working parameters for “off
time” reduction in the event of serviceability
Plug-in-and-go scalability: parallel feature which automatically
detects when new units have been added without the need for stopping
the system.
Chloride LIFE®.net 24/7 remote monitoring and diagnostic service
fully integrated.
