Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) UPS.
Continuous power availability is essential in today's dynamic IT and process-related work environments. It is equally
important that any installed power protection system is sufficiently resilient and adaptable to handle any requirement
changes brought about by the introduction of new server technologies, migration and centralization.
Such demands are well met by the KOHLER PW 6000 (400-500kVA) UPS system, which provides the foundation for
continuous power availability of network-critical infrastructures both in enterprise data centres, where business continuity
has paramount importance, and in process control environments, where manufacturing continuity is essential.

Key features

High reliability, upgrade-ability, low operating costs and excellent electrical performance are just some of the highlights
afforded by this innovative UPS solution. Other key features include:
• Compact size, small foot print – Saving on expensive floor space
• Flexible battery management – Advanced management of battery charging and preventive failure diagnostics
avoids premature deterioration of battery life
• Best in class AC-AC efficiency, up to 96% – Saving on energy and operational cost (TCO)
• Low input power factor (near unity) – Saving cabling and supply distribution costs during installation and the over
the entire life cycle (TCO)
• Blade-server-friendly power – Full power available from 0.9 lead to 0.9 lag means that no de-rating is required with
leading power factor loads and therefore no need to 'over-size' the UPS system to cater for the load.
• Very low input current distortion THDi – The THDi is <3.5% @ 100% load, reducing the capital and installation
costs of an optional standby generator if used.
• Ease of expansion – Additional UPS cabinets (up to a maximum of 10) can be connected to an existing parallel
system without needing to disturb the load supply
