The CompanyBorri SpA were founded in 1932 and over the decades have gained invaluable experience in maximising efficient power from their
wide range of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and converter products. Borri are one of just a handful of companies able to
manufacture high efficiency Solar Inverters up to 500kVA. It is this day-to-day practical design and production experience that
helps Borri produce highly efficient three phase UPS for both industrial and IT applications.
For good reason the international community has become ECO conscious. From domestic white goods to heavy industrialapplications the squeeze is on to maximise every last watt of energy. It is this new reality that has driven Borri to lead the way
in the development of ECO UPS technology. Borri are the only company in the world to manufacture three phase UPS from
10kVA to 800kVA with both IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) rectifiers and inverters. Borris unique efficient double
conversion technology ensures a clean, uninterruptible source of power able to protect the most critical of loads. With three
factories in Italy and a UK-based sales and distribution centre, supported by worldwide satellite offices, Borri are well placed to
offer customers not just efficient products, but also an efficient service.
Why an ECO UPS?In the post credit crunch era, managers may be focused on rebuilding their companies, regaining market share and of course
increasing margins. The efficient use of energy could be deemed as less urgent and be set aside until the financial climate hasfurther improved. But, for medium to large organisations, any such delays can have profound effects on the balance sheet! The
purpose of this brochure is to highlight that even
a small saving in electrical usage (see graph)
can generate substantial financial benefits;
these very real savings are quickly reflected by
enhanced profitability. In fact, if a company
currently has an inefficient UPS the cost savings
of replacing it with a high efficiency ECO UPS
typically can be recouped within two years.
A benefit of incorporating IGBT switching is
that input THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
is less than 3%. This falls well inside proposed
European legislation, thus there being no risk
of a financial penalty. The combined features of
the Borri ECO UPS result in low heat, low
C02, low footprint and, most important of all,
low fuel bills!

Operating cost savings for a small UPS Efficiency
Difference (taken over an 3 year period)
Cumulative savings with typical utility charges of 0.10/0.11 per kWh
It is estimated that over one third of direct and indirect energy ( air conditioning units, etc) used
to power a UPS is wasted because of low efficiency, poor load arrangements and unnecessary
equipment being attached.
A double conversion ECO UPS, when compared to traditional six and twelve pulse machines,
offers a typical efficiency advantage of more than 10%. Further, the ECO UPS remains efficient at low loads: with
many alternative UPS topologies the efficiency drops in proportion to the load; ie. low load = low efficiency =
higher running costs.
Below, we have presented two graphs; these clearly demonstrate the substantial financial benefits of using ECO-
friendly power products over three and eight years respectively. An ECO 100kVA UPS over a three year term with
just a 6% efficiency advantage can save the user approximately 32,000; the same machine over eight years cansave a staggering 90,000. Such economies mean the green choice is so much easier to make.
Actual savings may be dependent upon the accuracy and type of utility meter used and previously used.

The Financial Incentives
Energy Technology List
Borri are proud to announce the ECO-UPS range from 250kVA
6.4MVA is now listed on the Energy Technology List (ETL), part
of the Governments Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) Scheme.The ECO-UPS range was independently verified in line with the rigorous selection
criteria and was officially listed on the ETL as of 1st February 2011.
The ECA scheme provides a tax incentive for businesses wanting to invest in
technologies which meet published energy saving criteria. The purchase of a Borri
ECO-UPS System entitles the end user to claim 100% first-year capital
allowances for the investment against taxable profits of the period of investment
(including associated delivery and installation costs) Thats a potential saving
of 27% of the capital expenditure in year one!
Further details can be found at www.eca.gov.uk/etl
Carbon Trust Loan
Borri are a registered supplier with the Carbon Trust, by investing
in an ECO-UPS you could fund the purchase with an Interest Free
Efficiency Loan, repaying the loan over the same period as the
savings are realised. Loans of between 3,000 and 100,000 are
available and can be repaid over a period of up to 4 years.
Borri would be pleased to assist clients in their application and provide advice
and guidance.
Further details can be found at www.carbontrust.co.uk
UPS Scrappage Scheme
To further demonstrate commitment to increase power efficiency, Borri have
launched a UPS Scrappage Scheme and will pay a minimum of 1,000 to end
users if they replace an existing UPS System with an ECO-UPS System.

Low Input Harmonic Distortion(THDi)
Borri are the only company in the world offering
IGBT technology on all their three phase ECO UPS-
right up to 800kVA
A Borri UPS reflects less than 3% distortion back to the mains. This lowreflected distortion results in electronic equipment upstream from the
UPS being much less susceptible to interference (ideal for hospitals).
Another important consideration is that most European countries are
looking at imposing penalties on companies that excessively pollute the
electrical grid. A Borri UPS falls well inside the proposed distortion levels
that would be subject to a fine.
IGBT rectifier technology saves unnecessary oversizing of auxiliary
generator sets, infrastructure cabling and circuit breakers.
Manufacturers with high input THD machines may offer a partial
solution by means of a twelve pulse rectifier. This old technologyrequires additional input filters and transformers to try to match
Borris performance, This, in turn, adds a substantial price and size, and
a loss of efficiency.
Note: By adding extra transformers and chokes to create a twelve pulse
input stage, efficiency will be decreased and the resultant UPS will still
not meet the overall performance of a Borri ECO product.

With Borri ECO features you would only requirea 120kVA generator this is 52% smaller andoffers profound ecological and financial benefits.
ECO Benefits to Generator Applications
Stand-by Generator
As stated earlier, by using an ECO UPS smaller cables and switchgear can be used. The same
principle is true when using a stand-by diesel generator which, unlike the mains, is not infinite
in power; thus energy must be extracted in the most efficient way possible. Borri ECO UPS
generates less than 3% total harmonic distortion. This feature, married to a high input power
factor (.99pf) has many benefits for both the generator and the environment.
Smaller Generator Needed with ECO UPS
Because reflected distortion to the generator is so low a substantially smaller engine and
alternator can be used. Typically, when calculating the size of a generator to run with a non ECO
UPS, a factor of 2.5 would be
applied. For example, a
standard 100kVA UPS
would require a
250kVA generator.
The same 100kVA
requirement but with
Borri ECO features
would only require a
120kVA set; a factor of
1.2. This is 52% smaller
and offers profound
ecological and
financial benefits.
Longer Generator Life with ECO UPS
By using a Borri ECO UPS the life of the generator can be extended. A conventional UPS may
generate 25% to 35% reflected harmonics. This distortion results in the generator alternatorwindings having to run hotter than necessary. With a Borri ECO UPS this problem will never
occur. A further complication of bad harmonics is that the resulting mains distortion may lead
to the generator management system (GMS) misinterpreting what is actually happening. This
often causes hunting (the GMS switches back and forth between mains and generator resulting in
small breaks) and such a scenario is a real threat to your load.
Ancillary Generator Benefits with ECO UPS
The combination of high efficiency, high power factor and low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
allows for smaller cables, swi tchgear and fuel storage, another less obvious advantage is that
the generator will have a smaller footprint, thus any concrete plinth could be reduced in size,
as could any related security fencing again real benefits to the local environment.
Friendly Power Factor with ECO UPS
Another energy-friendly characteristic of the Borri ECO UPS is that it draws its power at almost
unity power factor (.99pf); ie, the current and voltage are in sync. Note: The larger the lag (power
factor) between current and voltage the greater the waste of energy. Many conventional UPS
draw power at a .8pf and are thus 20% less efficient. A poor power factor can lead to many
disadvantages in generator applications; from higher fuel costs to shorter maintenance intervals.

Transformerless Technology: The design philosophy behind transformerless technology is exclusively to reduce cost. Like most things in life, You dont get
something for nothing. By removing the t ransformer you lose some electrical isolation and may expose your load to a wider-range of problems.
A Transformerless UPS with an IGBT rectifier is more efficient than a conventional SCR six or twelve pulse machine. However, the Borri ECO B9000 & ECOB9600 UPS series incorporates both an IGBT rectifier and inverter making its efficiency equal to, or even better than, most transformerless units. All this is
achieved whilst still incorporating the all-important protection of a transformer!
Most UPS installations, for practical purposes of flexibility run at between 55% to 80% of capacity. The efficiency chart below shows that (in this power-
band) there is no particular efficiency advantage from either transformerless or transformer technology; both fare well. Only when at 100% load does a
transformerless machine achieve a small gain but this is offset by the efficiency of the Borri system at low load which, in the real world, is where it matters.
To achieve a transformerless topology, more high power switching devices are required on the output, ironically its these additional switching devices that
may reduce efficiency.
Isolation Transformer is Standard on ECO B9000 & ECO B9600 60kVA - 800kVA: When designing the B9000 and B9600 series, Borri took the decision,
at the point of conception, to include an output transformer, but why? Because the benefits and additional protection were considered to be great and allowed
for a wider range of applications.
EMF Protection: A threat to any UPS is back EMF (back electromagnetic force). This energy is created by switching on and off machines connected to the
output. The Borri transformer will dissipate this energy, protecting the UPS and in consequence your load. Back EMF and high energy spikes are also generated
by magnetic brakes, often found on high speed drives or robotic applications and larger printers. With most transformerless UPS this rogue energy is passed
directly across the output stage and is dissipated via an array of semi conductor devices. The life of these devices is finite, the length depending on usage,
whilst the life of a transformer is almost infinite.
DC Protection: Having an output transformer offers 100% protection against DC (battery/rectifier voltage) reaching the load in the event of a major
failure. Should DC reach the load, catastrophic damage is certain.
Transformerless UPS cannot protect against a DC threat!
Note to Buyer: If your computer room is subjected to a substantial
lighting strike, or similar, a transformer-based UPS guarantees no DC toyour load.
Efficient Scalability: Borris parallel operation has the functionality for
both redundancy and capacity increase. Up to six 800kVA UPS can be
combined together to give an extraordinary 4.8MVA of efficient power
at just 3% THD. Further, Borris DSP digital control protocol acts on both
active and reactive power, monitoring each output phase. This allows
efficient load sharing between all modules connected in parallel.

One of the biggest expenses of UPS ownership is the replacement and maintenance of the batteries.
The B8000, B9000 and B9600 feature an Accurate Battery Management (ABM) program whereby, following the UI characteristic curve, the charger
starts at a constant current, automatically selected by the type and quantity of the battery used.
The ABM system eliminates detrimental excess charging and reduces residual current ripple, one of the main causes of premature battery wear. The ABM
program also protects against deep discharge cycles which can and do damage individual cells.
A single battery can cost 135.00 and its not uncommon for a medium size UPS to contain 120 individual blocks. Protecting your batteries is protecting
your investment.
The Borri B9000 and B9600 ECO series incorporate automatic temperature compensation which regulates the battery charge voltage under hot and cold
conditions thereby increasing battery life. By extending the life of the batteries, the environment is benefited.
Note: Batteries contain heavy duty plastic, acid, lead and are expensive to recycle. The longer the life can be extended the fewer need to be produced and
subsequently recycled.
High Rated Output Power helps reduce greenhouse gasesBorris three phase UPS are designed to accommodate high output power factors, This capability means that no overrating of the UPS is required which,
in turn, results in a smaller footprint, smaller cables and less heat generation. For more information on leading and lagging currents see graph.
As an example of everyday machines that have a high current p.f, we only have to look at products such as Blade Servers. Borri comfortably deal with the
sophisticated power demands of these cutting-edge computers, all at a temperature of 250C.

The B8000 ECO series is a transformerless UPS with IGBT input and output technology. The
combination of Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) and digital processing (DSP) enables the ECO
B8000 series to have an almost negligible effect on the mains supply, reflecting less than 3% harmonic
distortion.
When running in normal On-Line mode the B8000 ECO offers an AC/AC efficiency of 95% increasing
to 98% in DC to AC mode. Achieving a high DC to AC efficiency means that, under mains failconditions, the batteries and your network run for longer. Should green mode be selected. AC to AC
efficiency increases to approximately 98%.
The B9000 ECO is the most efficient transformer based uninterruptible power supply available on the
UPS market. The efficiency of the B9000 is typically 10% to 15% higher than a conventional six or
twelve pulse UPS, providing massive efficiency and cost savings for the user. See graphs on page 3.
The B9000 ECO incorporates an IGBT rectifier reflecting less than 3% harmonic distortion back to the
mains and, as a consequence, has no detrimental effect on other equipment sharing the same supply.
A further benefit of IGBT technology is that any auxiliary generator can be downsized by as much as
50%. See page 5.
The B9600 ECO: Like the B9000 the B9600 includes an isolation transformer, IGBT rectifier and
IGBT inverter. The combination of these three c rucial technical components makes the B9600 ECO
UPS the only machine available in the world able to reach 800kVA (single module) with an efficiency
of 95% and a reflected THD of
