6EATON 3ph UPS technologies - TCO July 2018Maintenance and servicingEffective preventive maintenance saves time and money by minimizing business interruption and the costs of downtime, as well as extending the lifespan of critical power equipment. Eaton’s UPSs are built on the latest developments in power management and proven technologies to make them reliable and resilient, and to keep maintenance and servicing costs low.6EATON 3ph UPS technologies - TCO September 2018Advanced Battery Management (ABM) Batteries are the most critical component in the reliability of any UPS. Extending the battery life can provide significant savings, while neglect can be costly. Eaton’s ABM technology is exclusive in the UPS industry and helps to provide early detection of battery problems to protect it from failure. It uses a unique three-stage charging technique that significantly extends battery service life and optimizes recharge time, compared to traditional trickle charging.Reducing costs and complexity in battery autonomy testingBattery autonomy testing is a vital part of preventative maintenance as it tests the operational and battery performance of the UPS, but it can be costly, time consuming and complicated. Eaton has an Easy Capacity Te s t (EC T) feature that makes the tests easier and cheaper. Eaton’s ECT recirculates energy from the UPS for testing, so there’s no need to spend money renting load banks and no time or energy wasted on temporary load connections.Component lifetimeEaton has designed its UPS components to provide a longer lifetime and to enable longer periods between maintenance by increasing their Mean Time Between Failure. Clever circuit design also helps to increase lifetime and reliability, for example Eaton places heat-sensitive components (such as capacitors) directly after fans to maximize cooling and before any heat-generating components (such as power electronics and inductors).ServiceabilityEaton offers lifetime support for its UPS solutions, using the most recent technologies to monitor systems remotely and perform accurate interventions. Eaton UPSs are designed to minimize the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and any potential downtime. Service time and costs are kept down by placing replaceable parts (such as fans) within easy access.of the UPS purchase price withsave 30-40%You mayDC capacitors lasting the UPS lifetimetakes less than 10min andsaves expensivedowntimeReplacing fans €100,000 with ECTTesting a 2,5 MW system annually = savings up to
