Data centre contract worth £6.5m, says P&R Morson & Co.
UPS
The stateoftheart Staffordshire Council data centre which currently houses approximately 1400 employees, has been meticulously designed to be as energy efficient as possible and the council hopes to reduce carbon emissions by over 1750 tonnes in its first year. This dedicated data centre meets highefficiency targets thanks to four highefficiency Borri B9000 160kVA UPS systems in a fourtier configuration, reports UKPN.
power supply (UPS) specialists Power Control to help it complete a prestigious contract worth over £6.5 million.

Power Control provided P & R Morson with a full turnkey service, supplying and installing four high efficiency Borri B9000 160kVA UPS systems in a four tier configuration, which are now providing vital power supply back-up for all IT and critical information stored at Staffordshire County Council's new HQ. Featured on the prestigious Energy
Technology List, Borri's sophisticated B9000 FXS UPS range is one of the most efficient, affordable true on-line double conversion systems on the market.
With disturbances to the electrical supply being one of the major causes of IT downtime, the UPS system is regarded as the most critical infrastructure device in the data centre. Interruptions to electrical supply can cost organisations in excess of £100,000 per hour in lost revenues and productivity, reveals Power Control
The innovative design of the Borri B9000FXS and B9600FXS range makes it
he UK-based integrated building services maintenance provider P & R Morson & Company Ltd, turned to one of the UK’s
leading uninterruptible
one of the most technologically advanced UPS of its kind, says its manufacturer. Exclusively developed by Borri, the FXS series delivers an advanced combination of low input current distortion, unity power factor input, high overall efficiency and maximum load protection ensuring ultimate power quality.
This sophisticated arrangement of features make this series ideal for critical applications where reliability and high performance are fundamental. In addition, the FXS range comprises an IGBT input rectifier design with dual DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and µC (Micro Controller) technologies, which provides full digital control.
The FXS configuration guarantees high quality output required by loads requiring a stable and clean source of power, whilst ensuring that auxiliary power supplies and processors are no longer single points of fail- ure as with some other UPS Systems. VFI (Voltage & Frequency Independent) Online Double Conversion topology, provides built-in inverter galvanic protection, complete- ly isolating the output of the UPS from mains power problems and further protection is achieved via an integral output isolation trans- former. This advanced design is said to offer

an extensive range of user benefits, delivering high efficiency without compromising load protection: 3 Year Warranty; High Efficiency; and Transformer Protection. Said to offer 'ultimate protection' for all loads from data centres to industrial applica- tions, the B9000/B9600FXS incorporates Online Double
Conversion or VFI (Voltage and Frequency Independent) topology. In Online Double Conversion mode the output voltage and frequency are constantly generated by the inverter and so are isolated from any input power disturbances, spikes, dips or outages. For maximum protection, the batteries are positioned in the conversion circuit to ensure there is no break or switching
should the need arise for them to power the load.
This technology allows for an extremely wide range of input voltage and frequency, whilst enabling the UPS to control perfect output conditions without having to use battery power, says Borri.
As the AC input is always converted to DC and then converted back to AC, the double conversion process provides complete electrical isolation of the output from the input, in fact unless the inverter is switched off the critical load will never see the raw mains power
The B9000FXS/B9600FXS use an IGBT input rectifier design, encompassing an advanced PFC (Power Factor Correction), which can keep input current THDi (Total Harmonic Distortion of the input) at a level of less than 3% and an input power factor within 1% of unity, even when only small loads are applied. Main benefits for the user include: - The installation of the UPS is simplified - Upstream electrical supplies and cables do not have to
be heavily overrated to cope with high harmonic distortion - Standby generators can typically be down- sized by 40%
- Users can extract more output power from their current supply, increasing load capacity - Efficiency is massively increased - typically 20%
- Reduced charges from your energy supplier.
