Toshiba has announced the launch of a new line of 500 and 750 kVA UPS systems using silicon carbide (SiC) power modules.

Designed for data centres, the SiC power modules allow the three-phase UPS systems to be 98% efficient with a 50% load.

The footprint of the new UPS line is 17% smaller than its predecessor the G9000 where the 500kVA model measures 1800 x 832 x 2050 mm and weighs 1525 kg, while the 750kVA model is 2300 x 832 x 2050 mm and weighs 1928 kg.  

The new UPS is also up to 57% smaller than competing models, the company claims.
