4EATON 3ph UPS technologies - TCO September 2018Capital Expenses (CAPEX) comprise the initial purchase price of the UPS, as well as the costs of installing the UPS, where it will be housed (its physical footprint) and cooling requirements. The initial purchase and installation costs account for between 25-40% of the TCO.Savings enabled by a modern UPSThe evolution of UPS technology has brought significant improvements in UPS performance, which have a direct impact on reducing initial installation expenses. The costs vary depending on the size of the UPS, dictated by the load the UPS needs to protect and the level of redundancy in the system.Comparing to a legacy product, UPS power density has improved by greater than 50% – that means UPSs can be built to smaller footprints to reduce space requirements. UPS generated heat losses have reduced by 40% due to lower power losses which reduces cooling requirements and associated costs. Modern IGBT rectifiers enable excellent performance and efficiency gains that are lowering losses, optimizing power performance and lowering running costs.Easy to deployEaton UPSs are easy to deploy, since their flexible modular structure means they can be matched for site specific requirements for UPS capacity and bypass. Eaton static bypass comes with integrated short-circuit protective fuse and backfeed isolation contractor, which are important and mandatory safety components within the electrical installation. There’s no need to design and fit them into the upstream panel – they are pre-designed, pre-tested and pre-installed into all Eaton modular UPS eliminating any unnecessary costs and effort installing an external device.4Choosing a UPS – The Capital ExpenseEATON 3ph UPS technologies - TCO September 2018
