PRODUCTS UPS & STANDBY POWER LATEST DEVELOPMENTS ON SHOW AT DCW
Socomec showcased an integrated range of products and services at this year’s Data Centre World. Socomec’s range of UPS equipment provides continuity and safety of a data centre’s power supply - providing protection for critical assets. Green Power 2.0, a
transformer-less unit, combines energy efficiency with unity power to provide the future-proof critical power solution. With units now available from 160kVA to 500kVA, including the latest 250kVA unit, a combined focus on performance and efficiency, energy costs and operating expenditure is minimised and up-time is maximised - throughout the equipment lifecycle. Socomec’s UPS systems are approved
by the Carbon Trust’s Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme (ECA) for taxable benefits on the purchase of new equipment. This means that any new purchase of an ECA approved Socomec UPS unit entitles users to apply to receive capital allowance benefits and to claim back costs against the purchase of the new equipment (in some cases project costs) from the government under their energy saving guidelines. The effective management of energy
costs starts with the accurate measurement and centralised monitoring
INCREASING EFFICIENCY
The Cat 3516C-HD generator set from Finning Power Systems is available to UK data centre operators, with both a 2,750kVA standby rating and a 2,500kVA prime power rating, and has been purpose designed to provide high performance and fuel economy. With a 25% smaller footprint than other comparable
engines, the Cat 3516C-HD package can be integrated easily into existing data centres, saving valuable floor space to enable future expansion. Weighing less than 21,500kg, installation and transportation costs are also reduced, thanks to a lighter, smaller design, which includes two generator bearings for better stability and alignment. The engine can operate at ambient temperatures up to
of energy consumption. Socomec’s Diris and Countis ranges measure, analyse and monitor network data at every level within the power infrastructure. Also on show will be Socomec’s latest
range of Automatic Transfer Switches including ATyS - designed specifically for low voltage automatic transfer applications. The ATyS M is designed to control switching between two single-phase or 3- phase sources of supply in remote automatic or manual modes for emergency operations. This Transfer Switching Equipment (TSE) is designed for use with low voltage power systems with interrupted supply of the load during transfer. For more detailed information on what

Lean-burn generator set
A new lean-burn gas generator set product line has been introduced by Cummins Power Generation. The new 50Hz products offer increased transient performance and improved fuel capability, allowing them to run on
low methane number fuels and produce lower emissions. The new line marks the debut of a 2MWe variant, alongside
the improved 1,540kWe and 1,750kWe models. Primary applications for the new models include prime,
peaking and combined heat and power (CHP), as well as continuous operation in island mode and standby power. Their robust load handling attributes and capability of running
on pipeline and low methane number fuels down to 43MN make them well suited for remote locations where grid power is unavailable, such as mining, oil or gas fields, or in regions of the world where grid power is either unreliable or inaccessible. The new product line is designed to meet the ISO 8528 G1
standard and has black start capability - the ability to bring the generator set quickly into operation without relying on an external electricity source such as the grid. Black start capability frees the generator set from grid dependency and allows its deployment anywhere there is a need.

Power management company Eaton has announced the addition of support for parallel operation of its single-phase, energy efficient 9PX UPSs in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). IT and facility managers can now
power more equipment in their computer rooms, small data centres, industrial and medical applications by operating two 9PX units in parallel, or they can add redundancy to their system by installing a second UPS. It is also possible to configure two parallel connected 9PX units so that they automatically switch between redundancy and power increase modes, depending on the load level. Parallel configured 9PX UPSs use
Eaton’s Hot Sync technology, which allows them to operate in parallel without the need for inter-unit communications. This eliminates the single point of failure inherent in traditional parallel configurations based on master-slave technology. To allow parallel operation of its 9PX
UPSs, Eaton offers two ModularEasy units – one for use with 5kVA and 6kVA UPSs, the other for 8kVA and 11kVA UPSs. These units, which operate as tie
/ ELECTRICALENGINEERING
cabinets, tie together the input and output connections of the UPSs and also incorporate a maintenance bypass function. ModularEasy units are available separately for use in existing installations, or can be purchased as part of a complete package that includes two UPSs, a ModularEasy unit, two network cards and mounting accessories. New 9PX UPSs will be supplied ready
for parallel operation from mid-April onwards. For existing units in the range, a simple firmware upgrade is all that is needed to add this feature.

50°C at full power and features a lower cost exhaust system and improved motor starting capability, to help reduce the amount of on-site power required. The unit is available as a complete package for simpler
installation, incorporating Caterpillar’s four-stroke, water cooled diesel engine, and the compact SR5 generator, matched to engine output and performance.
