Operation & Maintenance of Power Plants
It is far more likely that individual components will be damaged as a result of a power spike, surge or dip.
signifi cant vibrations and failure will be rapid; while exposure to cold – or hot– temperature extremes will result in battery life plummeting. T ese are critical locations that
require protecting; but they are also often unmanned and organisations need equipment that is reliable and off ers long term protection. While some manufacturers insist data centre and offi ce UPSs need to be regularly tested (including monthly discharge tests) this is simply not a practical option for an out of the way, unmanned location. Demanding monthly maintenance activity creates an unjustifi able whole life cost in these harsh environments - the key here is to put in place a device that is ultra reliable and can both guarantee a long life and requires minimal on-going maintenance. T e solution is to provide a rugged
protected UPS that is designed specifi cally 16

T e UPS needs to be the correct Form-Fit-Function! With the right UPS in place, organisations can be assured that these critical aspects of the national infrastructure will keep running
