Eaton Introduces Energy Saver System Technology For Efficient Three-Phase UPS Operation
Eaton Corp. announced its Energy Saver System technology that enables large, three-phase uninterruptible power systems (UPSs) to operate at what is described as the highest efficiency in the industry – 99% – without sacrificing reliability. As part of Eaton’s new Energy Advantage Architecture (EAA), the new Energy Saver System technology is said to drive UPS energy losses to nearly zero; dramatically reducing energy consumption, environmental impact and power costs.
Eaton states that the Energy Saver System can detect changes in power conditions and transition to the appropriate mode faster and more reliably than conventional "eco-mode" capabilities that are available with legacy UPS products. Depending on the conditions, Energy Saver System UPSs can operate in standard, double-conversion, high alert or storm detection mode to provide flexible, user-controlled functionality on-demand.
"While advances in technology during the past 30 years have dramatically improved the efficiency of UPSs, specifying engineers often had to choose a UPS based on mutually exclusive merits, either highest efficiency or highest protection," said Jim Davis, Three-Phase Business Unit Manager, Eaton’s Power Quality and Control Operations. "With the Energy Saver System there is no compromise, a single UPS delivers consistent power quality and protection for IT systems with the highest efficiency across all load ranges."
Eaton’s Energy Saver System is currently available as an option for the Eaton 9395 and 9390 UPSs. Existing 9395 and 9390 units may also have the capability to upgrade to the Energy Saver System.
