OPTIMIZE EFFICIENCY
UPS efficiency is typically best
at full load and decreases as the
load decreases. Operating at less
than 100% load is recommended
to avoid overloads caused by
fluctuating power requirements,
but the load is often far below
recommended levels simply
because it hasn’t been optimized. Tripp Lite offers several
tools to help you safely right‑size load levels and balance fault
tolerance and efficiency. Metered, Monitored and Switched PDUs
include load meters that allow you to monitor load levels on‑site.
Monitored and Switched PDUs also include a network interface
that allows you to monitor load levels remotely. The optional
SNMPWEBCARD accessory adds the same capability to any
SmartOnline UPS System.

Higher efficiency means lower utility bills. SmartOnline UPS Systems
can save over $20,000 per year for each 160kVA load they support.
This estimate compares a SmartOnline UPS System operating at 97% efficiency in Economy
Mode to a traditional on-line UPS system operating at 87% efficiency. The calculations assume
a 24x7 duty cycle and U.S. average commercial electricity cost of $.1028 per kilowatt-hour, as
reported by the Department of Energy. Savings vary with application and actual electricity cost.

Replacing traditional on‑line UPS systems with high‑efficiency
SmartOnline UPS Systems will make your data center cooler,
greener and more cost‑effective. All UPS systems are less than
100% efficient because part of the electricity drawn by the UPS
is lost as radiated heat before it reaches your equipment. The
heat also requires cooling systems to work harder, consuming an
additional ½ watt of cooling for each watt lost by the UPS.*
Tripp Lite’s SmartOnline UPS Systems have good overall
efficiency and offer an Economy Mode setting that delivers
even better efficiency. SmartOnline UPS Systems are up to 97%
efficient in Economy Mode, a potential increase of 10% or more
versus traditional on‑line UPS systems. Replacing 160kVA of
traditional UPS capacity with SmartOnline UPS Systems can
save more than $20,000 per year. You’ll also reduce your facility’s
CO
2
emissions by 136 tons (enough to offset more than 2,000
flights from New York to Washington) and conserve more than
200 megawatt‑hours of electricity (enough to power 18 typical
U.S. homes).
