As technology reaches into every corner of our world, the importance of, and reliance on, your mission critical facility reaches new heights. Uptime is no longer a lofty goal, it is an absolute necessity. Maximum Uptime is a philosophy. It begins with the planning of your facility, and remains a continuous process through every step of design, construction, commissioning, operations, failure analysis, and recommissioning.

“High-Availability” power systems require Reliability, Functionality, Maintainability, and Fault Tolerance. A few UPS configurations can overcome the “Last Four Hours” problem to achieve Continuous Availability of conditioned power. These configurations also greatly improve the power systems’ fault tolerance, as we shall see.
