This year’s Data Centre Conference & Expo, was a huge success for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) specialist, Borri.

The show, which was held at London, Olympia, provided the Sheffield-based business with the ideal platform to showcase its extensive range of high efficiency UPS solutions and highlight their superior Italian manufacturing design.

Borri’s team of specialist technical engineers were on hand throughout the two day event demonstrating the unique efficiency saving qualities of its UPS systems. The company displayed a striking B9000FXS UPS, which recently achieved certification from TUV Nord for outstanding UPS efficiency performance. Borri’s FXS UPS series is up to 8% more efficient than standard six pulse UPS and can achieve up to 96 percent efficiency in On-Line Double Conversion mode.

In the world of electrical supply, many installations are static. However, there is an increasing number of situations where there is a need to provide an electrical supply safely and reliably to moving equipment and machinery.

Common areas where moving electrical supplies are required are machine tools, robots and automated warehousing. But this need for power to be supplied to moving applications is becoming ever more widespread.

Buildings such as conference centres, theatres and shops are requiring power and data to be supplied to moving floors, lifts, doors, lighting bars etc.  Even desks and TV screens are more commonly moveable or retractable, requiring a way to carry their power and data cables.

In all these cases, it is vital that the solution must be easy to install, to operate in confined spaces and above all be safe and reliable. igus e-chains can offer the solution in these cases.
