Ups Health and Generator
Eagle Systems Can provide a UPS and generator Health Check assessment service for clients who want to either take out one of our maintenance plans or simply review the overall health of their UPS or generator system.
UPS or Generator Heath Check site survey can be booked on-line using our Enquiry Form or you can simply call or email our Power Protection Consultants to arrange a convenient date and time.
UPS Health Check service is designed to ensure your UPS system is performing correctly when mains power is present and that its battery can support the load or the specified time. We can make Multi-Brand UPS Services.
Services include:
- UPS Age has a typical design life, during this period the capacitors and fans should typically be changed around mid-lifespan of operation if the system is not suffer a component (capacitor dry-out) or fan failure. If the UPS is more than 3 years old it will be larger and less efficient that a similarly rated more modern system. Often upgrading a legacy UPS to a new system can achieve a fast payback, with a new comprehensive warranty and will be smaller in size – leading to less floor space taken up within a comms room, datacentre or plant room.
- Battery age over time and typically has a 5 year design life. A 3-year design life battery should be changed in year 2-3 of operation This is recommended guideline but this must also take into account the ambient temperature of the room the UPS is installed within which should be 20 25degrees Centigrade if the battery is to reach this working period. Batteries can be inspected visually to identify signs of ageing including terminal residue, general leaks and case bulging or distortion.
- Network Management and Alarm Reporting: most legacy systems had limited remote alarm monitoring features. Modern UPS can be more easily network connected via SNMP and incorporated into DCIM and VMware virtualized environments for remote management and reporting. Connection to a remote site monitoring system can also lead to reduce maintenance plan contracts and fast response times.
Also, load bank testing, temporary power supplies and thermal imaging.
