Introducing Piller’s new high-performance UB-V ELECTRICALLY COUPLED UPS series for the conditioned power protection needs of cloud hyperscale, wholesale colocation and large enterprise deployments.
The Piller UNIBLOCK™ UB-V is a flexible solution providing up to 3.24MW of UPS in a single module to give higher reliability compared with large scale static deployments and better availability through significantly extended preventative maintenance service intervals leading to fewer shutdowns.
Electrically Coupled UPS
Most data centres are powered by electrically coupled UPS. An electrically coupled UPS connects the energy store with the UPS unit using only an electrical connection. Power semiconductors are used to control the energy flow for both discharging and recharging. The UPS performance, overhaul and maintenance requirements are largely determined by the method through which energy is transferred in and out of the energy store. Electrically coupled UPS include conventional static and UB-V technology.
Piller’s high-performance UB-V UPS is a new generation electrically coupled UPS. It is designed for flexibility, availability and reliability while providing capital cost control and maximised operating efficiency. As hyperscale cloud companies, large colocation investments and enterprise demands drive growth in the global data centre market, the use of electrically coupled UPS systems continues to grow.
UB-V provides on-line efficiency of up to 98% at 100% load and 97% at 50% load when compared with static UPS which typically operate around 96.3% efficiency at both 50% and 100% loads.
