DEALING WITH LESS THAN IDEAL UTILITY POWER

Type of Facility: Proton Therapy

‍

Products: UPS GE TLE Series 1000 KVA & UPS Mitsubishi UP9933-A304DU-4 300 KVA

‍

Summary: ‍

A Maryland based customer is the first center in the region to offer proton therapy – a highly advanced and precise form of radiation. The center is the first and most experienced proton center in the region.

Their treatment of patients is entirely based on the up time of the sensitive medical equipment.Every time they experience a power outage, their equipment must be reset and recalibrated before they may see more patients. This lost time and sometimes damaged power supplies from the utility loss was adding up to a tremendous financial loss.

Solutions:

‍Facility Gateway provided a turnkey UPS solution for the RF amplifier that not only provided a means to ride out a power loss but conditioned the existing utility power to reduce wear and tear on the power supplies. FGC managed electrical installation, permitting, and provided project management and support throughout the process.

Our customer is now able to maximize patients seen and minimize maintenance to the sensitive medical equipment.

How Do I Calculate What Size UPS I Need?

11 Jan, 2024

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units play a crucial role in providing backup power for your connected devices during power fluctuations, surges, or failures. This ensures the continuous operation of vital equipment, data protection, and a seamless transition to generators if necessary. To determine the ideal size and type of UPS for your requirements, it's essential to calculate both the load and runtime specific to your equipment. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process. Key Takeaways Identify Your Equipment: Begin by listing the equipment that needs UPS protection, excluding non-essential devices to avoid energy wastage. Calculate Total Energy Usage: Determine the total energy consumption of your connected equipment during peak operational hours. Factor in a Safety Margin: Allow for additional load capacity to prevent running the UPS at 100% capacity, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential failures. Regularly Update: Periodically review your energy consumption and adjust your UPS system to accommodate future expansions or equipment upgrades that may alter your total load.
