UPS Key Product Criteria The ENERGY STAR specification for UPSs establishes minimum average efficiencies for UPSs of different: Input dependency characteristics -- Voltage and Frequency Dependent (VFD), Voltage Independent (VI), and Voltage and Frequency Independent (VFI). Rated Output Power- from less than 1500 kVA to greater than 10,000 kVA. Load Profiles – assume profiles at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% load. The key criteria are shown below for AC-output UPSs that operate in a single input dependency (i.e., VFD, VI or VFI). Additional criteria for UPSs that can operate in multi-mode (e.g., VFD and VFI) and DC-output UPCs/Rectifiers used in telecommunications can be found in Sections 3.2.2 – 3.2.3 and Section 3.3 of the Version 1.0 of the UPS Program Requirements (357KB), respectively. Calculation of Average Efficiency for Ac-output UPSs EffAVG = t25% x Eff25% + t50% x Eff50%+ t75% x Eff75% + t100% x Eff100% Where: EffAVG is the average loading-adjusted efficiency, tn% is the proportion of time spent at the particular n% of the Reference Test Load, as specified in the loading assumptions in Table 1, and Effn% is the efficiency at the particular n% of the Reference Test Load, as measured according to the ENERGY STAR Test Method.

Information About Input Dependency Characteristics Also known as “passive” or “offline” or “standby” UPSs, Voltage and Frequency Dependent (VFD) UPSs are capable of protecting the load from power outages. Typically in sizes up 1500 VA, they are used for small offices, personal home computers and other less critical applications to provide surge protection and battery backup. During normal use, the mains feed the load directly and also power a rectifier (AC to DC) to charge the battery. During a power outage, battery power through an inverter (DC to AC) feeds the load. This type of UPS cannot correct for voltage fluctuations which may cause switches to battery power during low main voltage and drain the battery. Also known as “line-interactive” UPSs, Voltage Independent (VI) UPSs are capable of protecting the load from power outages and provide additional corrective voltage functions. Typically in sizes up to 5,000 VA, they are used commonly for small business, Web, and departmental servers. They also normally draw directly from the mains and switch to battery during an outage. They are equipped with multi-tap variable-voltage autotransformers that keep output voltages within an allowed tolerance during low and high main voltages and eliminate battery drain during low main voltage. Also known as “online,” “continuous” or “double conversion” UPSs, Voltage and Frequency Independent (VFI) UPSs are capable of protecting the load against adverse effects of voltage and frequency variations without depleting the stored energy source. They typically come in sizes up to 1,000 kVA and are used in data centers. Under normal operation, the line power is run through a rectifier (AC to DC power conversion) to the batteries, which then powers equipment through an inverter (DC to AC power) – which is why VFI UPSs are sometimes called “double conversion” UPSs. Filters and fast regulating circuits in the converters isolate the load from voltage and frequency variation from the mains. With this configuration, there is no transfer time in the event of a power failure as the power is supplied continuously to the equipment through the battery.
