In a such evolved environment like the one we live in today, the UPS systems requirements are no longer limited to guaranteeing power supply.
Reliability, flexibility and scalability are often essential needs, both for modern Data Centres as well as for small and medium-sized offices, which are frequently equipped with one or more servers for data storage.
That’s the same also for many production sites, where the evolution of installed machinery has led to a high presence of electronic control, that requires maximum reliability in the power supply so to avoid sudden and expensive machine downtimes.
The best solution to satisfy all these requirements is the modular UPS configuration.
Modular UPSs were born just to meet these needs, improving and optimizing performances compared to the more traditional stand-alone UPS parallel configuration.
Thanks to their specific design, the power modules can be hot docked into the system making normal maintenance operations extremely fast and safe, and also guaranteeing the best load protection, since you can carry out these tasks with all other power modules still operating, without turning the UPS on bypass mode.
The system’s power need is still guaranteed also without a power module thanks to the n+1 redundancy function availability.
These features lead to a massive MTTR (mean time to repair) reduction, as well as installation times and costs abatement. Furthermore, the first intervention can be performed by a technician who is not necessarily highly specialized.
A further advantage of modular UPS is given by the higher scalability level.
The user can immediately setup a configuration that meets his actual power requirement, with no need to oversize the system according to a potential equipment power increase on the future.
The UPS modularity provides indeed a great flexibility: it will be possible to change the available power at any time, with the addition of 10, 15, 20 or 30 kVA power modules, depending on the UPS model.
So the modular solution is both extremely efficient and also cheaper than other ways, as it doesn’t involve system’s extra costs.
In a certain way we can say that a made-to-measure system has now become a standard solution, thanks to modular UPSs
GTEC company, that is a reference for the UPS market and always pays attention to its users’ requests, covers these needs through MiniMUST, MUST400, MUST900 and FLEXY series.
