<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">ABB offers UPSs with different architectures, different features and a wide
range of power capabilities. However, up until now, these UPSs have had one
thing in common: They were designed for relatively friendly environments where the
heating, cooling, ventilation and humidity are permanently controlled, and
where there is no risk of biological attacks and very low levels of chemical
contamination. Examples of such settings are control rooms or data centers in
banks, hospitals, educational establishments, telecommunications hubs, server
rooms, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Of course, a
large number of industrial settings are not so obliging when it comes to
providing a friendly environment. Dust, moisture, vibration, excessive heat,
corrosive air contamination, lack of space and manhandling are just some of the
challenges that a UPS would have to face in industrial process plants,
factories, electrical substations, oil and gas installations, and the like.<br />
<br />
For this reason, ABB introduced, in 2016, a new modular UPS for use in these
light industrial applications: The ABB PowerLine DPA UPS.<br />
<br />
PowerLine DPA’s IP31-rated protection can easily cope with dust, water
condensation, humidity (up to 95 percent), excessive heat, corrosive or
biological air contamination and rough manhandling. The PowerLine DPA can
provide power in the range of 20 kVA to 120 kVA and is designed to operate in a
temperature range of -5 to +45 C without power derating.<br />
<br />
When environmental conditions are not clean, risk can increase, so top priority
has been given to the safety aspects and the UPS features a high degree of
protection for users and maintenance staff. The ABB PowerLine DPA UPS has a
robust mechanical design suitable for rough environments (water protection up
to IP42, anti-corrosion treatment, anti-condensation heater, dust filter, etc)
as well as an electrical design that protects against short circuit and
overload; provides galvanic isolation up and downstream; employs halogen-free
cables so no toxic gases are emitted in case of fire; and has a cold start
capability in case of power blackout.<br />
<br />
Lack of space is a problem frequently encountered in industrial environments,
so the PowerLine DPA UPS has not only a small footprint but, unlike other ABB
UPSs, also cable entry at the front (top and bottom), which eliminates the
necessity for rear access and the associated extra space this entails.
Ventilation flows from the front to the top, which means the UPS can be placed
right up against a wall and lifting eyes support easy transportation and
installation. <br />
<br />
To ensure compatibility with the networking and distributed intelligence that
is becoming prevalent in light industrial installations, the PowerLine UPS -
like other ABB UPSs - can be supplied with relay boards and a network management
card to allow environmental monitoring, extensive alarm handling and
dispatching, redundant UPS monitoring, integration into multivendor and
multiplatform environments and the supply of UPS data to Web applications.<br />
<br />
The PowerLine UPS is similar to some other ABB UPSs in another way too: it is
built on ABB’s unique and proven decentralized parallel architecture (DPA). The
modular nature of DPA delivers not only the best availability but also the best
serviceability and flexibility: Modules can be replaced without switching to
bypass the whole system or powering off, so routine maintenance is simple.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Whether you are a veteran or a novice at selecting and implementing a UPS power system, there always seems to be something new to learn. We called on a few of our local business partner experts to find out some of the most compelling questions commercial customers ask them. Below are a few of their answers.<br />
<i>Q. An IT manager with a restaurant group asked: “Our department works hard to gather a needs assessment from the business managers, can you share a few points we should evaluate?”</i><br />
A. “That’s an important one. We often help our customers through this early process. Most businesses benefit by bringing their facilities, IT technology and even executive management together to share needs and goals. This information lays the foundation for comparing the current situation and developing objectives for upcoming IT and system initiatives. They are asked about criticality of applications, physical space, budgets and more. Knowing these details ensures the best decision. Finally, by asking each stakeholder, 'What does it mean if you lose power to this app/system?’, you usually uncover the sensitive criticality factor. Plus, you can use this information to discuss projects with other vested experts, such as an electrical contractor.” – Fred J., Vertiv local business partner.<br />
<i>Q. I remember just last month the facilities director for a regional insurance company needed to know: “What are all the inputs I should gather to develop the right power system?” </i><br />A. “Ah, this tends to be the meat and potatoes information that everyone wants in advance of making a UPS selection. Of course, there are many details to evaluate, but shown here is a summary table with basic evaluation and consideration suggestions.<br />
<table border="0" class="vertiv-table first-row"><thead>
<tr><th>Evaluate</th><th>Consider</th></tr>
</thead><tbody>
<tr><td>I.D. planned systems and connected devices</td><td>Tabulate device watts, volts and amps, along with power factors and electrical phase </td></tr>
<tr><td>Determine site's electrical status</td><td>Incoming utility, switchgear, panel-boards, voltage, loading, dedicated circuit needs</td></tr>
<tr><td>Examine physical space</td><td>Check footprint, ceiling, doorway, weight limitations and ventilation </td></tr>
<tr><td>Determine best location of UPS</td><td>Form factor required, IT aisle or equipment room?</td></tr>
<tr><td>Determine short term backup time needed</td><td>Estimate minutes of battery/run-time</td></tr>
<tr><td>Long term backup</td><td>Generator or other auxiliary power source if needed</td></tr>
<tr><td>Redundancy</td><td>Degree of power redundancy needed to meet fail-safe goals</td></tr>
<tr><td>Distribution of power</td><td>Number of circuits, distance, voltage</td></tr>
<tr><td>I.D. onsite staff’s power expertise</td><td>Match to criticality with service, support and monitoring</td></tr>
<tr><td>Expected change within 3 years</td><td>Plan for growth, uncertainties</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Determining and then discussing these points will lead you to your best power solution. In my example, the respondent was looking for a reliable, flexible, scalable and efficient answer. One of my customers had a similar needs profile, and we specified a 100kVA/kW, 208V <a href="https://www.vertivco.com/en-us/products-catalog/critical-power/uninterruptible-power-supplies-ups/liebert-exm-/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Liebert eXM UPS</span></a> with maintenance bypass, distribution and 8 minutes of battery (at 65% load). This new UPS most often provides the performance and flexibility demanded in midsize requirements, such as for this insurance firm, with capacity ranges from just 10kVA/kW up to 250kVA/kW.” Benjamin E., Vertiv local business partner.<br />
<i>Q. Recently I had an executive with an IT provider enquire: “We operate three colocation facilities and we have been evaluating methods to better support the critical needs of several clients who want enhanced SLA availability levels. What should we look for in our UPS performance in this reserve power architecture?” </i><br />
A. “With our extensive experience working with colocation providers, we were able to offer consultation on their power configurations and recommend modifications to the electrical system so they could leverage both dedicated and shared reserve bus architectures. This enabled the company to offer tailored levels of redundancy that matched their customers’ applications. Our large UPS systems support rapid electrical loading, which allows for a more reliable reserve system.” Tim G. – Vertiv local business partner.<br />
<i>Q. “I know a friend through my medical association who recently experienced headaches and delays when their contractor was unpacking and connecting the new UPS. How could he have avoided this?” – Rebecca W., Network director of a 100 bed medical facility. </i><br />
A. “A UPS installation should not be a problem or painful experience ... in fact, it should be the answer to a problem. With good product design, coupled with effective planning by experienced partners, most everyone can avoid difficulties. For example, our Liebert eXM UPS ships with a built-in ramp for easy deployment, it’s also designed to assemble quicker and has excellent access points for cabling. Plus, a team of onsite experts oversee the start-up and work with the key partners to ensure a smooth, painless install.” Mark A., Vertiv local business partner.<br />
<i>Q. “I select and install UPS systems for my customers. I remember a few jobs where the UPS didn’t have the options needed to address the customer’s requirements. That forced me to source add-ons, which added cost and didn’t integrate or perform as advertised. I can’t afford a damaged reputation. I found your solutions a better fit.” - Jose P., electrical contractor. </i><br />
A. “We’re glad to hear Jose is enjoying our solutions. All of our UPS systems are professionally designed and tested. Most components are factory installed. Our local experts follow a thorough process to ensure selection and installation integrity. With innovations like the optimized ancillaries, which actually enhance the performance, footprint and efficiency of the power system, we can meet needs more efficiently.” Steve C., Vertiv local business partner.<br />
<i>Q. Here’s one from our rep who worked with a law firm earlier this year, and their attorney in charge posed this situation. “Our legal practice has 5 offices scattered around the state. Revenue billing requires us to keep our client and research systems working. A network coordinator was routinely traveling to check on systems. We don’t want to needlessly send that person on the road to check on things like the power operations. Is there a better way to manage this?”</i><br />
A. “This legal executive’s eyes lit up when I described the benefits of our exclusive <a href="https://www.vertivco.com/en-us/services-catalog/maintenance-services/preventive-maintenance/vertiv-life-services/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">LIFE™ Services</span></a><span style="color: black;">.</span> I mentioned that this option provides secure, remote monitoring of the UPS system by our power experts. Remote monitoring can help prevent problems by diagnosing UPS status and even proactively dispatching service if and only when needed. This solution removed the pressure this firm had with supporting critical UPS power given their limited resources.” Alexandro O., Vertiv local business partner.<br />
Our experts get questions like this every day, and are happy to share their expertise with the data center professionals who ask them.<br />

<span></span>Legacy PDU manufacturers do not support the mission-critical power needs required by today’s facility managers. Their stagnant design continues to promote an inherent and unnecessary danger to PDU maintenance workers. Many of these legacy devices continue to trade innovation for low-cost production -- at the expense of safety. To ensure that you are investing in the best of breed PDU products, facility managers and engineers need to add a series of questions to their PDU evaluations to avoid dangerous consequences.<br />
These questions include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Is it possible to safely work on an energized PDU, even with proper PPE?</li>
<li>Can you safely add loads while the unit is under power?</li>
<li>Is there proper component separation and isolation in the PDU?</li>
<li>Is the PDU metering proprietary or off the shelf?</li>
<li>If proprietary, can it be easily upgraded, customized or replaced in the field?</li>
<li>Are thermal magnetic breakers offered and will they trip if the ambient temperature is raised in the data center?</li>
<li>Will the PDU manufacturer perform custom modifications and designs if requested or when necessary?</li>
</ul>
One of the main and recurring issues in a legacy PDU is that the direct fault of a distribution breaker could result in cascading faults throughout the entire unit -- causing a complete shutdown of the all the loads that are carried by that PDU. However, if the distribution breaker is properly isolated, the fault could be limited to a single compartment and a single load.<br />
The fact is, next-generation PDU designers are addressing all the aforementioned issues. They realize that safety does not have to come at a high price tag and insightful PDU changes can dramatically improve safety during maintenance procedures. For example, compartmentalization of components is an effective way to provide a safer product.<br />
This simple, but innovative procedure includes the separation of:<br />
<ul>
<li>Metering</li>
<li>Distribution breakers</li>
<li>Main breakers</li>
<li>TVSS</li>
<li>Transformer</li>
</ul>
By offering this isolation for each component, the risk of personal injury and damage to the other components, are significantly diminished. It cannot be emphasized enough that applying component isolation has many advantages over legacy devices. Facility and plant engineers need to consider the following for each PDU option:<br />
<ul>
<li>Metering:</li>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li>Legacy manufacturers are offering outdated and proprietary metering not suited for today’s mission-critical facility needs.</li>
<li>By using readily available and off-the-shelf products, metering can be enhanced without requiring custom mounting arrangements.</li>
<li>By using a plug-and-play system, products can be configured to provide both isolation and an easy method to replace metering if it fails in the field.</li>
</ul>
<li>Main Circuit Breaker: <ul>
<li>By isolating the main breaker, it increases safety and serviceability.</li>
<li>The breaker may be segregated in such a way that it is not exposed to the transformer or any other component.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Transformer: <ul>
<li>Transformers should be completely isolated -- all other components can be separated from the other PDU components.</li>
<li>Transformers have better thermal characteristics if they are isolated, because there will be no heat transferred to the transformer cabinet from other components.</li>
<li>Compartmentalization provides enhanced safety.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Distribution Breakers <ul>
<li>Electronic trip to eliminate nuisance tripping due to higher ambient temperature in the data center</li>
<li>Isolation for safe serviceability without shut down</li>
<li>ISO Compartments for safe connection of future loads without shutdown.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>TVSS & Other Accessories: <ul>
<li>Isolating components to a single compartment promotes easier service and maintenance procedures.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
When considering PDU needs for any facility, plant managers, engineers and facility operators need to consider units with an ISO compartment, capable of safely connecting future loads -- without shutting down the entire PDU. This innovative design provides for complete isolation of distribution breakers so the load can be connected without shutting down the PDU.<br />
Compromising worker safety for cost-effective PDUs is not a wise business decision. Today's innovative PDU offerings blend innovative engineering that is capable of reducing human error, by protecting facility maintenance personnel from accidental and potentially life threatening injury. You would never consider transporting your family in a vehicle without seat belts or airbags -- why expose your workers to the life-threatening risks inherent within legacy PDU products?<br />
