Considerations for the lowest lifetime costs of a UPS

While you may know the upfront cost of buying a UPS; your initial investment doesn’t tell you the final price you’ll pay. Do you know what it will cost to run and maintain over its lifetime or what factors you need to consider? When considering purchasing a UPS; the broader Total Cost of Ownership should be considered. After all; even a single percentage improvement in operational efficiency could save you more than the UPS purchase price over its lifetime. Having the ability to scale the UPS power with the load demand will help optimise the UPS efficiency; reduce cooling needs; and prevent unnecessary wear on components.
