PowerWAVE 8000DPA awarded inclusion on to Carbon Trust's ECA list

July 27, 2012 - PRLog -- PowerWAVE 8000DPA awarded inclusion on to Carbon Trust's ECA list
The highly acclaimed, modular PowerWAVE 8000DPA UPS from Uninterruptible Power Supplies Limited (UPSL) has now been included in the Carbon Trust’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) approved products list.

The ECA Scheme for Energy Saving Technologies was created to encourage environmentally proactive businesses to invest in plant or machinery which has been designed with energy efficiency in mind, and which has been recognised as such on the Carbon Trust’s Energy Technology Product List (ETPL).

In real terms, this inclusion means businesses investing in the 8000DPA can offset 100% of the cost of the UPS against taxable profits; therefore potentially reducing the organisation’s tax bill by 28% of the equipment cost.

If your business pays corporation tax at the current rate of 28%, every £1,000 spent on qualifying equipment would reduce its tax bill in the year of purchase by £280. Loss-making companies can also receive a substantial tax benefit when purchasing ETL qualifying technologies, with Payable ECAs. Through this scheme the Government will reimburse the organisation the value of the ECA equipment, up to 19% of company’s total loss for that year.

The PowerWAVE 8000DPA already boasts one of the greatest levels of critical load availability, flexibility and energy efficiency in the market.The 8000DPA is able to offer 96.5% true online efficiency, which significantly reduces system running costs and on-site air conditioning costs – and helps ensure the PowerWAVE 8000DPA offers one of the lowest total cost of ownership and smallest carbon footprint in its class.
PowerWAVE 8000DPA key benefits
•   Up to 120kVA (100kVA N+1) in a single frame
•   Decentralised Parallel Architecture (DPA™) assures exceptional availability and maximum uptime through critical component and circuitry duplication
•   ‘Six nines’ (99.9999%) availability
•   ‘Hot-Swap’ modularity provides total flexibility ensuring the UPS can be ‘rightsized’ to the critical load at initial installation, reducing initial costs, optimising operating efficiency and reducing the total cost of ownership.
•   Quick and simple power upgrade or repair by ‘Hot Swapping’ modules while the UPS is online maximises availability and simplifies system upgrades
•   High operating efficiency across a wide load range
