Save Money With The Gamatronic Power+ UPS

The Power+ is extremely efficient, more efficient than most UPS products available on the market. This is a result of its advanced design. High efficiency minimizes the loss of power as waste heat, and reduces the need for cooling (air conditioning). It also means that Power+ supplies more output power per input kilowatt than competing models. In short, Power+ saves money! Analysis.

Analysis

In electronics, efficiency is the ratio of useful power output to total power input. Inevitably, no system is 100% efficient; some energy will always be unavoidably lost, usually as heat produced by the current as it passes through the components. A well-designed system reduces the wasted power to the minimum degree possible, resulting in greater efficiency.

Let’s compare the Power+ and its proven 96% efficiency against another UPS with a typical efficiency of 92%, that is, 4% less efficient than Power+. We will use a load of 100 kVA (80 kW) for the example. The table shows the math.

We see from the example above that Power+, with a higher efficiency, uses less power than the competing model to supply the same load. Not only does Power+ consume less electricity, thereby reducing your electric bill, it also runs cooler, which can mean a reduction in air conditioning use for large environments, leading to a further cost reduction. But how much can be saved?

How much?

Let's try to estimate the difference money wise. Electricity costs vary in different countries; for this example we use USD $0.12 per KWH. The difference in power losses between the Power+ and the competing model is: 6.96 - 3.33 = 3.63 kW.

So, saving 4% in input power for a year works out to a savings of almost $4000 annually. After a number of years the Power+ will have paid for itself!

Conclusion

Power+'s proven efficiency of 96% reduces your electric bill. The savings will amount to only a little on any given day, but with continuous use of the UPS, month after month, the reduced power consumption can mean a significantly reduced ownership cost when compared with competing models. So it all adds up: Power+ saves you money!
