New Central Emergency Lightning UPS
Staco Energy Products Co introduces FirstLine® 924 three-phase Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) for 20kW and 30 kW central emergency lighting system. The UPS systems automatically
transfer to battery power at power outage, providing a continuous power supply for 90 minutes, as
required by NFPA 101. Additionally, the systems protect the load from damaging sags, swells,
harmonics, noise, and voltage imbalances in the primary AC supply. Todays facility manager – 25,

APC Expands modular Symmetra system to 500kW
APC by Schneider Electric unveils new APC Symmetra PX 250/500kW Three-Phase UPS system
for data centre market available from July 2009. The new modular UPS system offers ultra-high
efficiency, N+1 redundancy, easily scalable modules in 25kW increments up to 500kW, being
capable in future to be paralleled up to 2MW. Sourcewire- 16, June 2009
Higher Data Center Temperature Renders Dramatic Energy Saving.
According to research, temperatures exceeding 100 degrees may not harm disk drives, says
Simonelli, chief technical officer at the Schneider Electric-owned APC, indicating that many big data
centers are running at close to 90 degrees. Thus, implementing virtualization, and working with less
servers, at higher temperatures, up to 50 percent of energy budget can be saved, just by changing the
set point from 68 (20°C) to 80 degrees (27°C). PCworld – 15, June 2009
IMS : UPS Revenues Fall Sharply in 1Q09
According to IMS Research results global UPS revenues in the first quarter of 2009 fell by nearly
25% from the same quarter last year, to under $1.5 billion. Single-phase market suffered most, but
lately a drastic fall is evidenced in the High Power systems as projects came to completion and new
orders are slowed. IMS expects this market to show future growth driven by computing
requirements, power quality issues, and infrastructure stimulus. PressReleasePoint -12 , June, 2009
