Project Scope

Upgrading the power train without taking the load offline

The project replaced 56 existing UPS modules rated 750kVA / 675kW, along with their battery disconnects and cable trays, across live colocations — installing higher-efficiency double-conversion UPS modules rated 750kVA / 750kW with new battery disconnects, 2 x 600kVA PDUs, panel boards and associated feeders.

Every hour of this work happens around a running load. Switching sequences, temporary protection, outage windows, and rollback plans have to be agreed and rehearsed before a single module is de-energized, and the commercial and safety consequences of getting that wrong are immediate.
