PowerWAVE 6000, the three-phase, transformerless UPS system from Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd (UPSL), delivers the best combination of energy efficiency, availability and power performance in its class.
Compared to equivalent stand-alone UPS systems, the PowerWAVE 6000 200kVA unit has the smallest footprint at 0.64 m2 and the highest power density at 317 kVA/m2. Cost savings equal to expenditure on power and cooling can be achieved within a few years of operation.
Offering both intelligent energy management and maximum power protection, the 60 - 200kVA range is designed to reduce energy consumption, generate less CO2, minimise space requirements and provide significant cost savings.
“IT managers who are under pressure to balance rising energy demands with cost control can gain significant savings by installing high efficiency UPS systems,” said Alan Luscombe, UPSL sales and marketing director. “The PowerWAVE 6000 combines scalable architecture and energy saving technology, delivering flexible growth options and ensuring low cost of ownership.”
With transformerless design and Energy Saving Inverter Switching (ESIS), the PowerWAVE 6000 provides high double-conversion efficiencies of up to 95.5 percent, even with partial loads.
PowerWAVE 6000 is available in six power ratings ranging from 60 to 200 kVA with an output power factor rated at 0.9 leading. The system provides fully rated output-active power without power de-rating in the range of 0.9 leading to 0.73 lagging in compliance with modern IT equipment.
Thanks to the very low input THDi (< 3.5% at 100% load) and the near unity input power factor of 0.99, even with partial loads, PowerWAVE 6000 avoids unnecessary over-sizing of generator sets and upstream distribution switchgear as well as the use of additional expensive compensating filter solutions.
Up to ten PowerWAVE 6000 units may be paralleled to build a single system and can be used with common or separate battery configurations. Built with Decentralised Parallel Architecture (DPA)™, it enables the scaling of units for power capacity increase or for redundancy without the need to transfer critical loads to raw mains. By duplicating critical components, DPA also eliminates the single points of failure inherent in some traditional UPS systems.
The PowerWAVE 6000 is designed to meet the growing availability and power protection demands of a wide area of mission critical applications in the IT industry, telecommunications, manufacturing process control, transportation, traffic control, automotive control, financial services, health care and other sectors.
PowerWAVE 6000 meets the challenges of today’s IT infrastructures, ensuring the highest level of power protection availability. Its best-in-class performance supports organisation’s requirements to build and operate energy-efficient and environmentally friendly data centres and computer rooms.
