Power Continuity- UPS Systems and Data Centres

By Jamie Bullock

UPS Systems & Data Centres have a sell by date before which time replacements need to take place, rather than risk the integrity of your critical systems

Love it or loath it, the infrastructure of Data Centres does require replacement with NEW UPS Systems as well as LV equipment at least every 10 years.

What yours installed 10 years ago or more? Do you feel that was money well spent at the time and you’re not spending that again in hurry?

Time to let it go……let it GO !

Perhaps you try the ‘blinked’ approach by suggesting that if it ‘ain’t broke’ don’t touch it because it still works!

Well it may for now, but believe me, MCCB breakers fail and ACB’s fail too. UPS Systems fail.

Never take Power Continuity for granted.

At Power Continuity we never do.

Because we are Power Continuity by name and Power Continuity by action.

If you don’t maintain MCCB’s and ACB’s then your chance of failure is even higher.

You may have spent tens of millions on your DC and yet one failed ACB can bring you down, today!

What else?

UPS systems require regular firmware upgrades, battery impedance and load banking.

YES, large UPS systems do require load banking in the same way that Generators require regular load banking.

When was the last time this was implemented? Written records exist? Or maybe not?

On the same basis, have you carried a mechanical survey of your A/C systems?

You may have a ‘state of the art’ DC and yet  if the A/C fails you’re down, whatever your power protection system has to offer.

What’s next to worry about? Transformers. Have you recently checked them for any phase shift?

Whilst you may feel comfortable so far, we can then look at the fire suppression systems. When were these last upgraded?

Next time you’re in a DC look up and what do you see? If you see sprinkler systems that were installed years ago then start to get very worried.

PowerContinuity design and install the largest UPS systems , multi megawatt, and we ONLY work  with the best UPS Systems partners;Emerson, Chloride, Vertiv , Riello, Piller & Active Power, all Global Brands.

Our trade mark – Power Continuity– ensures that you have the best the power protection that the industry has to offer- Guaranteed.

Prevention is better than cure.

Service & maintenance records are a positive starting point, although weekly and monthly ‘on load’ tests will prove your systems work.

Nervous to test?

Let Power Continuity engineers be by your side when you carry out a mains fail test.

Critical power is what we do. Power Continuity is what we install.
