Tripp Lite Announces New Modular 3-Phase UPS Systems

Chicago, IL -Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, has introduced a new line of SmartOnline Modular 3-Phase UPS Systems for 120/208V applications. Three models are available (SU40K, SU60K and SU80K) with individual capacities ranging from 40kVA to 80kVA, system capacities up to 160KVA and operational efficiencies up to 97%.

"Tripp Lite's new Modular 3-Phase UPS Systems offer reliable installation and economical operation and maintenance," said Paul Wampach, Tripp Lite's 3-Phase UPS System Product Manager. "They maximize availability for mission-critical systems, lower installation and operational costs, while facilitating efficient and timely service performance. The modular architecture and 1+1 parallel capability will fit well in countless organizations, even those pursuing tier 4 system availability."

Tripp Lite's new Modular 3-Phase UPS Systems feature self-contained, hot-swappable 20kVA power modules. SU40K, SU60K and SU80K models feature multiple modules to provide N+1 redundancy for critical loads. In the unlikely event that a module fails, the remaining modules seamlessly compensate to support the load. The new models also feature 1+1 parallel capability, enabling two units connected in parallel to either provide 2N system redundancy or increased power capacity. In a parallel redundant configuration, each UPS supports 50% of the load. If one UPS is subsequently removed or taken off line for maintenance, the second UPS will support the full load automatically. Parallel connection can also be employed to double overall capacity. Therefore, two 80kVA units can be connected in parallel to support a load of 160kVA.

The new SmartOnline Modular 3-Phase UPS Systems also help facility managers to control installation and operating costs. Producing less than 3% input Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi), they enable a 1:1 sizing of the UPS system to a generator set. Low THDi helps generators to run cooler, lengthening generator service life, and eliminating the need to oversize generators, cables and breakers. Advanced IGBT inverter technology assures high-efficiency UPS operation, reducing cooling costs and lengthening UPS service life. An LCD display provides a real-time event log and stores up to 500 events to help managers react more quickly to changing conditions.

"The new Modular 3-Phase UPS Systems deliver a superior combination of features, performance and value," said Wampach. "Contributing to 100% infrastructure uptime is essential today, and these systems deliver without straining budgets or the environment. That's a formula for success."
