Trinergy Configuration tool helps users build a customised UPS configuration to meet immediate and future power protection needs. Chloride, one of Europe’s leading suppliers of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and services, today unveiled its new Trinergy Configuration tool. The tool is an online application that gives users the opportunity to build a virtual Trinergy system, customising the configuration according to their individual load and space requirements.

By inputting data such as the load apparent power, power factor and required redundancy, the tool automatically generates the optimum Trinergy configuration for the critical load requirements. It does this without oversizing the system, therefore minimizing the initial capital costs. “The Trinergy configuration tool provides valuable insight on how Trinergy can be configured to meet different load and redundancy requirements,” commented Chloride’s Technical Support Manager, Rob Tanzer. “It gives users the opportunity to design a system that is fully customised to meet their power and space requirements, while at the same time providing optimum power protection and energy savings.”

Once the tool has generated the ideal configuration to meet power requirements and optimise costs, users are able to modify the position of the 200 kW cores in order to achieve the best configuration for the space available at the installation site. In doing so, the system intelligently follows the necessary position changes without changing the power supplied to the load. For example, an apparent power of 1200 kW, can be made with a single 1200 kW Trinergy UPS (I/O Box 1x1200 kW with six 200 kW cores) or with two 600 kW Trinergy UPS (I/O Box 2x800 kW with three 200 kW cores per I/O Box).

The tool also allows users to future proof their system by designing a configuration that not only responds to their immediate power protection requirements, but also those that they may be faced with in the future. This means that by using Trinergy’s three dimensions of modularity, cores can be added to the system as and when future conditions require an increase in load protection. By planning a future system today, data centre managers are able to design configurations based on increasing power protection needs and physical floor space restrictions.
