The order for the high efficiency, transformer free UPS unit was secured through leading IT consultancy and services provider, Articulate Technology Limited. Having previously worked with Borri on comparable projects, Articulate Technology had complete confidence in specifying a Borri UPS for this critical application.
Borri’s highly skilled engineers delivered, positioned and commissioned the 30kVA B8000FXS within the tight time frame stipulated by Leeds Trinity University. To deliver the correct autonomy, the installation also included a battery enclosure.
As part of the complete service provided, Leeds Trinity University is also benefiting from a three year battery warranty and comprehensive maintenance contract, which covers emergency call outs, preventative maintenance, parts to the value of £200 and 24/7 technical support.
Articulate Technology’s, technology consultant Ronnie Lloyd commented: “Having had a long standing relationship with Borri over a number of years, we were already familiar with the quality of its UPS solutions. In terms of performance, there is nothing else comparable on the market and for this particular project, where any downtime would have a devastating operational impact, it was vital that we provided a solution that was not only the most resilient available but also highly efficient.
“The B8000FXS series ticked all the right boxes and Borri provided us with exceptional service support. The team was professional at all times and on hand every step of the way. The installation was completed smoothly and efficiently and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.”
Designed with in-built tricore technology, enabling the B8000FXS UPS unit to achieve efficiency of up to 98% and deliver substantial power savings. Further savings are achieved as the system has a negligible effect on the mains supply. The B8000FXS provides less than 3% harmonic distortion, which is achieved through the combination of Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) and digital processing (DSP), allowing a generator to be downsized by as much as 50%
