How to Determine or Compare Single Phase UPS Energy Consumption
Question :
How to Determine or Compare Single Phase UPS Power Consumption? Is there a tool that you can use to get this information?
Product Line :
All Single Phase UPS
Environment:
All Models and Serial numbers
Answer :
Users can use Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator to compare and compute UPS Consumption on selected UPS units registered on the Application provided on the link below.
To use the tool, you need to do the following
Step 1. Provide Energy Cost, CO2 Emission, and UPS Fleet information
Section 1 Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator: Energy Cost, CO2 Emission, and UPS Fleet information
*Note: You can provide information about Location, Cost, and CO2 Emission factor, and specify multiple UPS units. Choosing a location will load preset data for Electricity cost and CO2 emission, but this data can be changed; preset data will not be updated
Step 2. Provide UPS information for UPS A
Section 2 Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator: UPS A InformationSection 2-a Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator: UPS A Empty Information
Section 2-b Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator: UPS A Information Populated
Step 3. Provide UPS information for UPS B (Optional)
Section 3 Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator: UPS B Information
Section 3-a Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator: UPS B Information Set to Analyze Only UPS A
Section 3-B Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator: UPS B Information Populated with UPS Graph Comparison
*If the graph is not showing UPS information, choose option Analyze Only UPS A on UPS B Section to proceed without entering Data for the 2nd UPS, or Populate UPS B data to display the Graph.
Step 4. Changing UPS Load Information
Section 4 Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator Load Slider and Consumption Data
The slider can be used to change the load information, computer consumption, or losses depending on efficiency (Green arrow).
The losses or UPS power consumption are displayed as UPS Losses on the table below the graph (Blue arrow).
Step 5. Graph Options
Section 5 Single Phase UPS Efficiency Comparison Calculator Graph Options
Graph data can be changed to reflect comparisons between Losses, Cost, Carbon Footprint, and Energy consumption.
*Note Energy, Cost, and Carbon Footprint are approximated at an annual rate
