6kVA UPS Prices and Specifications

6kVA UPS systems available from Server Room Environments include floor standing and 19inch rack mount uninterruptible power supply systems. The UPS will support loads up to 6kVA and the kW-rating will vary depending on the output power factor of the UPS. The output connections will be hardwired with certain models providing additional output sockets. The UPS batteries will typically be internal with options for external battery extension cabinets for additional back-up time. 6kVA UPS have tower or rack mount or a dual installation format and are designed to protect workstations, servers and IT network peripherals including Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The UPS have hardwired output connections.

Load and Mains Power Connections

A 6kVA UPS system will have a terminal block to which a power distribution unit (PDU) can be connected to provide power to the load. Alternatively the UPS installation may feature an external maintenance bypass arrangement with the UPS system input and output connected to the bypass switch from which the loads are powered. Server Room Environments offers a complete electrical installation service. Please contact us for a free site survey or quotation.

UPS Battery Runtime Options

UPS battery runtime is dependent upon several factors including load size, battery charge percentage, battery age and ambient temperature. Our project managers can provide a calculated battery back-up time for your load and UPS system. The standard UPS battery is a valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) type with options for lithium-ion batteries available.

Related FAQs

  • What is the critical power path in an IT environment?

    The critical power path in a server room, datacentre or other type of network environment is the path from the building incomer (mains power supply) to the critical load connection socket or terminal (PDU). Elements within the critical power path can include LV switchboards, UPS systems and standby power generators, transformers, sub-distribution panels, power distribution units, fused spurs and socket outlets.

  • What is Power Factor?

    Power factor is the ratio of Real Power (W) to Apparent Power (VA) in an AC circuit. Power Factor corresponds to the phase-angle difference between the load drawn voltage and current waveforms.

    Power factor is shown as a decimal number or percentage i.e. 0.65pF = 65% between 0-1pF and 0-100% respectively.

    Power Factor formulae include:

    Power Factor (pF) = Real Power (W) ÷ Apparent Power (VA) = CosØ

    If we know the Power Factor and Real Power we can calculate:
    Apparent Power (VA) = Real Power (W) ÷ Power Factor (pF)

    If we know the Apparent Power and Power Factor we can calculate:
    Real Power (W) = Apparent Power (VA) x Power Factor (pF)

  • How will Edge Computing affect UPS power protection?

    Edge computing pushes data processing nearest to the device that needs the information to operate, rather than pushing the data back to a centralised datacentre. Edge computing is essentially a de-centralised approach. In terms of power protection to ensure resilience in an entire decentralised eco-system it is important to protect both the servers within the cloud datacentre and each data-processing point along the Edge computing network. Larger three phase UPS systems may be required for datacentres with far smaller uninterruptible power supplies required for small load servers, PCs and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
