OPTIMAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT

The BPC PowerTower can be scaled in vertical modular steps up to 1200kVA of power in a single frame, providing a cost-effective method of building any data centre without oversizing that can result in energy waste. Flexibility and cost-effective ‘right-sizing’ of any UPS system must be the priority when increasing or decreasing power to meet future requirements.

EXCELLENT POWER PERFORMANCE

The PowerTower UPS has a near unity input power factor at full load, reducing the size of the input cables/fuses. Low total input harmonic distortion ( THDi ‹3%) reduces load pollution, increases power quality, and optimises generator sizing. Overall, this excellent power performance directly translates into a significant reduction in installation costs and extends the life of valuable equipment.

DYNAMIC AIR FLOW AND DUST FILTERS

The PowerTower Green dynamic airflow technology takes cool air from the front of each module. Simply directing the heat dissipated from the active power electronics and exhausting the higher core temperature out the rear. Incorporating dust filters into each cabinet for optimum cooler and cleaner design, results in longer component design life and increasing periods between maintenance visits. Available as standard on 25kVA, 50kVA & 75kVA modular cabinets.

SMALL FOOTPRINT

The PowerTower Green can deliver one of the smallest surface areas; less than 500kW/m2 and requires minimal clearance around the unit so floor space required in data centres for UPS can be kept to an absolute minimum.

TRUE "HOT SWAP" CAPABILITIES

The BPC PowerTower modular UPS operates a true hot swap technology where each power module is automatically synchronised to the load sharing of the system. There is no need to identify individual power modules or sequence them in any particular order. The monitoring module is also designed to be hot-swappable, making system maintenance easy. Simply insert the power, monitor modules into the slots, and engage. The process of replacement or vertical scalability is easily achieved, and hot swapping means no downtime and the service/ operating personnel do not require special skills.

EASY INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

The PowerTower offers a flexible installation, so assembly time is greatly reduced. Bottom and top entry with generous cable management will simplify the more difficult installation. BPC’s PowerTower Green UPS is very easy to maintain and control, providing the highest reliability and best protection for supplying power. Options are available for Galvanic Isolation Transformer cabinet, improved battery management, frequency conversion, conformal coating, and input & output switchgear.

LOW MTTR AND 99.9999% AVAILABILITY

The ‘hot swap’ modularity design of the PowerTower Green provides a high mean time between failure (MTBF), allowing the user to replace and add modules without the risk of downtime, ultimately reducing the mean time to repair (MTTR). Whereas a standalone unit takes typically 6 hours to repair, the PowerTower modular UPS can be reduced to less than 30 minutes, giving ‘six nines’ power availability.

HIGH LOAD ADAPTIBILITY (BLADE FRIENDLY)

All PowerTower Green Modular UPS systems are provided with an output power factor of 0.9 & 1.0, providing fully rated output active power without de-rating in the range of 0.7 lagging to 0.8 loading in compliance with modern IT equipment.

SINGLE FRAME CONCEPTS

BPC offers more single frame solutions than any other manufacturer, with 12, 24, 36, 30, 60, 120, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 450, 500, 600, 900 & 1200kVA chassis, reducing the need to parallel cabinets and improving the reliability of installations. All systems can be configured to various input and output configurations 1/1, 3/1, 1/3 and 3/3 phases.

FLEXIBLE MODULAR AND SCALABLE DESIGN

With the ever-increasing demands of power, the PowerTower Green UPS allows you to increase your power capacity in small steps reducing initial costs and oversizing. This flexibility can extend both vertically and horizontally so as your business grows, the PowerTower Green UPS grows with you.

HIGH EFFICIENCY

The PowerTower Green offers true online efficiency over 96.5% even at 30% load, significantly reducing system running costs and site air conditioning expenses, thus helping to reduce the organisation's carbon footprint.

Taking a small to medium data centre 200kVA/180kW load and air conditioned with coefficient performance of 3:1

• Save 127,144KwH per year compared to traditional UPS (90% efficiency)
• Save 210,240KwH per year compared to legacy UPS (86% efficiency)

In DC/AC inverter mode, when the power supply is not present, the battery efficiency is over 95% reducing actual battery capacity requirement and improving design life.

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO)

The PowerTower Green UPS offers today’s data centre management the opportunity for sustainability and future growth. With flexibility and scalability combined with lower cost of service contracts, short and long-term, it can increase savings on overall operations.
