Eaton UPS products approved for UK Energy Technology List
ESPOO, Finland … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton has announced that its latest
range of three-phase UPSs has been approved for inclusion on the Energy Technology List
(ETL) in the UK for meeting specific energy saving criteria. Eaton’s 93PM range of 30 to 50
kVA/kW UPSs now qualify for the ETL under the UK government’s Enhanced Capital
Allowance (ECA) scheme, meaning users can offset 100% of purchase and installation costs
against tax in the first year. The ETL is managed by The Carbon Trust.
The ECA scheme was developed by the UK government to help tackle climate change by
granting special status to products on a product-by-product basis and encouraging
businesses to invest in these energy-saving products which are specified on the ETL. In
conjunction with The Department of Energy and Climate Change, the scheme allows
businesses who install products that meet the specific energy efficiency criteria to claim 100
per cent of their first year capital allowance on their investments.
Eaton’ 93PM UPSs now qualify for the ETL and are specifically designed to maximise the
uptime of critical processes whilst keeping energy costs down. Their systems are designed
for advanced IT environments including virtualised and, cloud data centres, co-location
facilities and mission-critical applications. When in double-conversion mode, the 93PM has a
performance rate of 96.4 per cent efficiency, whilst at the same time removing any
abnormalities in the utility power. When used in step with Eaton’s Energy Saver System
(ESS) technology the efficiency rate reaches an impressive 99 per cent. This is all provided
in a compact 0.5m2 footprint.
