Evaluating Total Systems Approach

UPS Systems are not Complete

Systems as many do not include the
battery monitoring.

Cabinet Target Objectives

INDUSTRY FIRSTS
1. First Top Terminal Battery cabinet to meet the 2 Meter
requirement to match UPS Heights. NOTE: Many UPS
systems are 2 Meters Tall.
2. First tube frame welded battery cabinet with no sharp
edges or
corners.
3. First battery cabinet to be lifted from top. (Using Load
spreaders).
4. CFD engineered cool down of 1.5 hours after major
discharge event
of 30 minutes or more.
5. First cabinet to use laminated bus bars to simplify tier
to tier cabling.
6. First cabinet to use best in class 4/0 ~6,000 strand
cables with fusion
lugs. Best Flexure, Lowest IR Drop in the industry.
7. Highest repeatable tolerance cabinet in the industry
using
engineered weldment fixtures.
8. Achieved $2,200 per Cabinet Price Objective in
Quantity.
9. Preemptive battery failure monitoring.
