Economy
Before comparing UPS prices it must be ensured they
are equal with respect to mains repercussion:
Mains repercussion consists of a mains current out of phase with the mains voltage and a distorted mains current.
Utilities demand a min. PF or require payment for the kVAh instead of the kWh.
Utilities demand distortion filters installed if other power consumers are disturbed.

47. Installation Costs
Economy
High efficiency and unity power factor generally means
lower installation costs on the mains input side of the UPS:
The installation costs on the UPS mains input side are determined by the prescribed input fuse for the actual UPS.
As a rule a DP300E requires an input fuse one step smaller than a legacy UPS system without phase compensation. The installation costs are correspondingly lower.

Low heat dissipation
- by highest possible power factor “1”
saves fan energy
Smaller installation cost

Is there enough space on the installation site?
Will it go through the door?
Is there free space for servicing and operation?
Weight
Will the floor carry the load?
Can the lift carry the load?
How can it be lifted off the pallet?

Consider:
Heat dissipation:
• Ensure correct dimensioning of the air conditioning system
Diesel generators:
• Due to the sinusoidal input current a diesel generator of only 1.3 times the size of the DP300E can be used. (A diesel for a traditional UPS must be 3-5 times the size of the UPS)
• For very sensitive diesels the DP300E series can be programmed for soft start (diesel modification).

131. Installation of DP300E Consider: Parallel operation: Batteries:
Parallel to increase output power.
Redundancy to increase safety.
Up to four standard systems can be paralleled
(only parallel boards needed).
With external static switch up to nine systems can be paralleled (parallel boards and external static switch needed.
Parallel systems can have common or separate batteries.
Batteries:
Configuration sheet for Johnson control batteries are available.
Battery dimensioning for special applications has to be handled from case to case.
