Eaton UPSs 'consume less than average amount of power'
02 Feb 2010
Firms which operate a data centre may be best advised to turn to the solutions of power management company Eaton in a bid to drive down costs. New research suggests that solutions by Eaton use less power than average and, as a result, may help to drive down energy expenses.
According to Computer Weekly, between eight and ten per cent of power in a data centre is consumed by uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). This loss is "unavoidable", the publication states, as the online devices which feed power to the data centre will never achieve zero losses. However, Eaton technology typically runs with a maximum efficiency level of 94.5 per cent - a loss of just 5.5 per cent.
Discussing Eaton's Variable Module Management System, the firm's product manager Jari Nieminen says: "It significantly increases the system's overall efficiency, as it allows the UPS to match the current load by deciding which of the power modules are on standby and which of them feed the load."
In December, Eaton was recognised by Business Watch magazine as one of the top firms in the "competitiveness and sustainability" fields. The industry publication cited Eaton's "continuous innovation" as a reason for the award.
