RielloOver past years power protection has been oversized so that, at full capacity, the system itself is never overloaded. As over sizing can lead to higher installation and high maintenance costs. Under sizing, however, where equipment is being continuously added and switched in and out, will rapidly cause problems. Whilst an on-line uninterruptible power supply has a built-in automatic bypass for in an emergency, running close to design limits with regular overloads is always bad practice. The way to go about power protection sizing - the equipment being protected (the ?load`) must be categorized into critical, essential and non-essential loads. Critical Loads of course are the IT and electrical components that make up the business architecture and without which business operation would be lost: servers, computers, storage devices, and security and building management systems. As always, time invested in assessing and categorizing loads, determining their size and power requirements and calculating a correctly sized power protection system will pay dividends. Naturally, UPS sizing consultancy is available from highly experienced manufacturers such as
