UPS Equipment Life Extension and Modernisation (ELEM) services

Modernisation Services are offerings for customers interested in resetting the clock on their existing systems through product refurbishment rather than replacement of ageing UPSs.

For customers with ageing 9390/9395 (10+ years old) who want to reset the clock, avoid risk of electronics wearing out and extend the reliable service life of their UPSs.

How ageing UPSs put your operations at risk?

UPS electronic components wear out over time due to dirt/dust accumulation, humidity and heat. As the graph below indicates, the risk of failure increases as the UPS ages. Tellingly, UPS failures rank among the most common causes of unplanned data centre outages, accounting for a quarter of such events.

While it is possible to operate a UPS past its service life, it is critical to recognise that doing so will assume more risk as time goes on. Although the unit may continue to run, as each component within the UPS continues to age, the likelihood of faults eveloping increases — as does the risk of catastrophic failure.
