| Hot SyncŪ Technology & ABM |
Field-tested
and installed in thousands of installations around the
world, Powerware Hot SyncŪ technology has become the
global reliability standard.
This technology enables a multi-module configuration to
operate in parallel without the need for inter-module
communications. This eliminates the system level
single-point-of-failure inherent in traditional parallel
configurations and maximizes availability.
Hot Sync capacity enables up to eight UPS
modules to operate in parallel to increase the load
capacity. By adding more UPS modules than is needed to
support the load, redundancy can also be achieved. For
example, should the load requirement be 800 kVA,
selecting three 400 kVA units would give N+1
redundancy--two modules to feed the load and one for
redundancy.
Hot Sync redundant allows N+x parallel
installation of up to eight Powerware UPSs, with the UPS
modules sharing the critical load between them. Should a
failure of any kind occur with either module, the
critical load remains 100% UPS protected. Internal
diagnostics immediately isolate the faulty UPS module
from the critical bus while the other UPS assumes the
full load. |

ABM Advanced Battery
Management |
|
| The lead-acid batteries
typically used in a UPS are considered viable as long as
they can maintain backup times of at least half that of
new batteries. Virtually all other UPSs on the market
today have batteries that are constantly trickle
charged. Those batteries reach the end of their useful
life in less than half the time of batteries that are
charged using ABM. ABM uses a three-stage charging
technique that not only doubles battery service life,
but also optimizes battery recharge time and provides up
to a 60-day advanced notification of the end of useful
battery life. |
