Product Spotlight: The UPS Ltd PowerWAVE 6000

With an escalating number of applications being classified as ‘business-critical’ –combined with the growth of other strategic IT trends such as mobile devices, server virtualization and cloud computing – the requirement for total reliability from power support equipment is unequivocal. Equally, in these challenging times, and with constant technological and legislative developments, the need to take active steps to manage organizational resources and control operational costs is a universal concern. With the requirements to support the data centre infrastructures of today and tomorrow in mind, Uninterruptible Power Supplies Limited (UPS Ltd), a Kohler company, developed a portfolio of innovative and highly efficient transformerless UPS solutions, including its flagship data centreproduct, the PowerWAVE 6000. Intended to deliver the optimal balance between energy efficiency, availability and power performance, the PowerWAVE 6000 range is available in both 400 and 500 kVA power ratings and parallelable to 5 MVA. Compared to equivalent UPS systems of a similar capacity, the PowerWAVE 6000 dramatically reduces the overall physical footprint, with a power density up to 363 kW/m2. The UPS also consumes less energy and generates lower CO2 emissions than its rivals – giving the PowerWAVE 6000 one of the lowest environmental impacts on the market and providing significant overall cost savings. 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 and boasts features and options which reflect current and predicted industry needs. High efficiency With a transformerless design and the Energy Saving Inverter Switching (ESIS) technology, PowerWAVE 6000 delivers best-in-class efficiency at both partial and fully rated loads (up to 96%). This level of efficiency dramatically reduces the UPS’s total cost of ownership throughout its life cycle. In addition, to lower operating costs, the PowerWAVE 6000 has been designed to extend battery run times and the life of components. A truly eco-friendly solution for mission critical applications. Key benefits: • Single unit capacities from 60 kVA to 500 kVA • Capacity up to 5 megawatts (5MVA) from 10 units in parallel • Power density of up to 363 kW/m2 • Integral batteries up to 100 kVA • High efficiency and minimum cost of ownership • Low input harmonic distortion:THDi = 3.5% @ 100% load • Near to unity input power factor of 0.99 • Fully rated output power (Blade Friendly) • Full front access maximizes system serviceability • Transformerless design • Top cable entry available Highest load availability PowerWAVE 6000 incorporates redundant critical circuits (RCC) to effectively eliminate all single points of failure, and provides class leading system reliability and load availability.PowerWAVE 6000 UPS can also be paralleled, up to 5 MVA, to provide even higher levels of load availability and/or redundancy. Improved input performance PowerWAVE 6000 manages the Total Input Harmonic Distortion (THDi) at a low level (3.5% at 100% load). It does this by neutralising the emission of harmonics at the input of the UPS.
