Minimizing UPS Downtime in Critical Power System Design
In today’s data-driven world, fast and reliable access to information to and from your company’s business system is essential. Without a reliable infrastructure, your data is at risk. The primary focus of critical power system design is to reduce the impact – tangible and fiscal – of a power outage and data loss.
Minimizing UPS Downtime in Critical Power System Design
In today’s data-driven world, fast and reliable access to information to and from your company’s business system is essential. Without a reliable infrastructure, your data is at risk. The primary focus of critical power system design is to reduce the impact – tangible and fiscal – of a power outage and data loss.
Avoid UPS downtime with critical power system design
Downtime costs money. But, with the right planning – and the right Uninterruptible Power Supply - you can cut back that downtime and your losses. Unfortunately, no standard solution is a fit for every application. As such, reliability and total cost of ownership must be addressed with every critical power system design.
Consider your total cost of ownership (TCO)
Given how integral an uninterrupted power supply is to critical power system design, it’s no surprise that UPS specs, including efficiency, footprint, weight, communications, and cost, have a large influence on the system’s total cost of ownership.
However, they are not the only factors in the TCO analysis. Others include:
- System efficiency
- Cooling requirements
- Footprint and weight
- Initial system investment
- Generator sizing and compatibility
- Distribution system coordination
- Factory support during testing, commissioning, and initial setup
- Recommended maintenance intervals and associated costs
- Recommended parts replacement programs and associated costs
- Spare parts recommendations
- Mean-time-to repair estimates
- Service support and response
- The cost of downtime as a result of one failure
