The highly acclaimed, modular PowerWAVE 9000DPA UPS now offers the
lowest total cost of ownership in its class, with its inclusion in
the Carbon Trust’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) approved
products list.
The ECA Scheme for Energy Saving Technologies was created to
encourage environmentally proactive businesses to invest in plant or
machinery which has been designed with energy efficiency in mind,
and which has been recognised as such on the Carbon Trust’s Energy
Technology Product List (ETPL).
The addition of the 30kVA and 50kVA modules of the class-leading UPS
means businesses are able to offset the total cost of the equipment
against taxable profits within the year of purchase. This results in
a 28% reduction in the cost of the critical power equipment –
delivering a helpful cash flow boost and a shortened payback period.
In addition, delivery, installation, project management and
professional fees associated with the purchase can, in many
circumstances, also be included – further reducing the cost of the
9000DPA – which already boasts the greatest critical load
availability, total flexibility and the highest levels of energy
efficiency in the market.
The product has several other impressive features which helped to
secure its position on the list, as UPSL’s Sales and Marketing
Director, Alan Luscombe, explains: “The 9000DPA is able to offer 96%
true online efficiency, which itself significantly reduces system
running costs and on-site air conditioning costs – and helps ensure
the PowerWAVE 9000DPA offers both the lowest total cost of ownership
and lowest carbon footprint of any UPS system in its class.”
Luscombe continued: “The 9000DPA takes full advantage of our
state-of-the-art De-centralised Parallel Architecture (DPA), which
uses independent, self-reliant, three-phase UPS modules to remove
single points of failure. The UPS system also delivers a highly
flexible solution with ‘hot-swap modules’, which permit selectable
load power capacity up to 250kW (5 x 40kW), all in one parallelable
19" rack format cabinet.”
PowerWAVE 9000DPA key benefits
• Up to 250kVA (200kVA N+1) is a single frame
• Paralleable up to 1MVA N+1
• Decentralised Parallel Architecture (DPA™) assures exceptional
reliability, availability and maximum uptime through critical
component and circuitry duplication
• ‘Six nines’ (99.9999%) availability
• ‘Hot-Swap’ modularity provides total flexibility ensuring the UPS
can be ‘rightsized’ to the critical load at initial installation,
reducing initial costs, optimising operating efficiency and reducing
the total cost of ownership.
• Quick and simple power upgrade or repair by ‘Hot Swapping’ modules
while the UPS is online maximises availability and simplifies system
upgrades
• High operating efficiency across a wide load range (94% to 96%
efficiency from 25% partial load to 100% full load) reduces system
running costs and site air conditioning costs, reducing system
carbon footprint
• Small footprint – only 0.43m2 at 250kVA (200kVA N+1) delivering a
power density of up to 342kW/m2 – allowing substantial and valuable
space savings even at the highest power ratings
• Near unity power factor at partial and full loads (PF>0.99 @ 100%
load)
• Low input harmonic distortion (THDi<3%)
• Blade server friendly – provides fully rated output power to power
factors between 0.9 leading and 0.8 lagging
• Transformerless technology
• Easy front access for operation and maintenance
ECA Scheme key features
• Open to all businesses that pay UK corporation or income tax,
regardless of size, sector or location.
• Provides 100% first-year capital allowances on investments in
energy-saving equipment against taxable profits of the period of
investment.
• All the products listed on the Energy Technology Product List must
meet the energy-saving criteria, published in the Energy Technology
Criteria List.
• Only spending on new and unused energy-saving equipment can
qualify for ECAs.
• Capital allowances are available for spending “on the provision
of” plant and machinery. This can include certain costs arising as a
direct result of the installation of qualifying plant and machinery
such as; transport of the equipment to the site, and some direct
installation costs.
