In previous Uptime Institute meetings S&C has presented papers on the benefits to performance and reliability by deploying large-scale UPS systems (typically 5.0MVA or larger) at medium voltage. Since those that time several mission critical consulting engineering firms and several large users have adopted this concept and installed large medium voltage systems.

This presentation will review the key benefits that have caused this trend to occur and cite some of the specific reasons this approach was chosen. Several specific examples will be presented along with the justifications used to make this change from more conventional UPS solutions.
