From the very start, the company was a UPS innovator and by 1994 had designed, manufactured and launched its first generation of threephase, transformerless standalone UPS. Further innovation followed and the UPS product portfolio grew through several...

ABB’s modular UPS design Ensuring high availability and low total cost of ownership ABB’s approach to modular power protection Despite all the precautions taken during the design and operation of data centers and related control processes, situations can arise in which external power is compromised – either in terms of quality or availability. Such events could result in data loss, nonavailability of essential services, risk to hardware and very high financial losses. This makes a highly dependable UPS mission-critical. Therefore, the most critical loads should be protected by the very best...

Online swappable modules (OSM) Key benefits – – Replace or add modules with no downtime –– Simple power upgrade –– No downtime during maintenance Scalability Key benefits –– Vertical and horizontal scalability –– Cost-effective “rightsizing” –– Easy configuration and reconfiguration True “online-swap” modularity enables the safe removal and insertion of UPS modules without risk to the critical load and without the need to either transfer it onto raw mains or remove power from it. Modules can therefore be replaced or added without any system downtime. It is simple to upgrade power capability...

ABB’s modular UPS design Ensuring high availability and low total cost of ownership Availability Key benefits –– 99.9999% (6 nines) availability By combining the benefits of Decentralized Parallel Architecture, parallel redundancy and online swap modularity, ABB’s UPSs have a high mean time between failure (MTBF) and a low mean time to repair (MTTR). This delivers six nines availability – a highly desirable quality required by data centers in pursuit of zero downtime. The surest way to increase availability of power is to introduce redundancy to the UPS system and to minimize its...
