Uninterruptible Power Supplies Limited (UPSL), a Kohler
company, today announced plans to extend the power capacity
of its popular, standalone three phase UPS, the PowerWAVE
6000
Designed to deliver the optimal balance between energy
efficiency, availability and power performance, the new
extended PowerWAVE 6000 range will be available in both 400
and 500kVA power ratings, parallelable up to 5 MVA.
Compared to equivalent UPS systems of a similar capacity,
the new PowerWAVE 6000 dramatically reduces the overall
physical footprint with a power density up to 363 kW/m2
consumes less energy, generates lower CO2 emissions and
provides significant overall cost savings.
Existing PowerWAVE 6000 models already boast one of the
lowest environmental impacts and smallest physical
footprints on the market and the new additions, which will
be available from April 2012, are set to make a significant
impact within the large data centre and facilities sectors.
David Renton, UPSL’s Managing Director commented on the
company’s latest development:
“We have seen demand for the existing PowerWAVE 6000
continue to grow, especially within the small to medium
sized data centre arena, where space and efficiency are key
considerations. However, feedback from both existing and
potential customers, regularly asked if there was a UPS
which maintains the same advanced characteristics, but with
a larger kVA rating. In response, we extended the range to
produce a UPS that met the required power capacity but
without impacting the unit’s performance or efficiency
credentials. This class-leading UPS system is now available
in ten power ratings, ranging from 60 to 500 kVA, and boasts
an output power factor rated up to one – ensuring compliance
with all modern IT equipment like blade servers.”
The new PowerWAVE 6000 has been specifically designed to
meet the growing power protection demands of mission
critical applications within the data centre, IT,
telecommunications and financial services sectors. The
PowerWAVE 6000 boasts features and options which reflect
current and predicted industry needs, including the
flexibility to accommodate an increase in power
requirements, with n+1 parallel redundancy and double
conversion efficiencies of up to 96%, even with partial
loads. Easy installation and maintenance are also key
features for this three-phase UPS system, with only frontal
electrical connections and fully serviceable components
throughout.
Since the launch of UPSL’s flagship modular UPS, the
PowerWAVE 9000DPA, in 2007, UPSL has been recognised as
setting global standards in uninterruptible power supply
solutions. The new PowerWAVE 6000 is a continuation of this
trademark innovation, offering double conversion,
transformerless topology across the entire range.
