COST OF SCALABILITY
If a conventional system needs to be expanded, an identical UPS must be installed alongside the existing one.
This needs a lot of space as well as modi cations to the electrical system and wiring.
Moreover, to carry out all this, the old UPS must be turned o . TRIMOD modular systems are scalabled by installing an additional power
module without disconnecting the load, with no extra space required and with no further installation costs.
This  exible method makes the new generation UPS very simple to upgrade, with only 5-10 percent additional costs.
CONCLUSIONS
The primary purpose of a UPS is to protect equipment and sensitive data, often of even greater importance for an enterprise.
A static UPS has a remarkable impact on electricity consumptions. So much so, these can weight heavily on the overall operating costs, up to
33% during the average 8-years life of the UPS itself. This means that it is important to consider the energy quality and energy e ciency when
choosing a new UPS so as to achieve a reduction in electricity consumptions, thus the price of the UPS impacts less than 30% of the overall
operating costs.
Besides providing top-level performance, the latest generation of static UPS also guarantee lower energy consumption, in order to reduce
energy costs and environmental impact.
Modular solutions with “on-demand” architecture such as those produced by Meta System are the ideal choice for business continuity.
