GOTTOGPOWER Buying Guide Helps You Accurately Match Requirements.

Facing complex power demands, installation environments, and electrical configurations, how can you quickly identify the optimal UPS model? Based on the GOTTOGPOWER product selection matrix, this article outlines three core steps to streamline your decision-making process.

  1. Calculate Load Requirements:
  • Identify Critical Equipment:

List all devices requiring uninterrupted power, such as:
Critical equipment: Servers, commercial facilities, routers, medical instruments.
Sensitive equipment: Desktop PCs, surveillance systems, laboratory devices.
Additional loads: Printers, external monitors, storage servers, switches, camera surveillance and other network equipment.

  • Determine Power Capacity:

Calculate the total power consumption (in watts) for all listed equipment. The UPS capacity should equal the sum of the connected devices’ power requirements.If you unsure of a device’s wattage, refer to its manufacturer specifications.
Suggestion: Add 20% redundancy to the total load to ensure safety and scalability.

2. Evaluate Runtime Needs:

Runtime requirements vary by scenario. Use the reference table below to determine your UPS’s required backup duration.

3. Prioritize Scenario-Specific Features:

  • Extreme Environment Adaptability

For harsh conditions (high temperature, humidity, altitude, or cold), opt for modular UPS systems with enhanced thermal design, sealed enclosures, and wide-temperature components to ensure stable operation.

  • For sustainability-focused organizations, select systems with ultra-high-efficiency modules and smart energy management to reduce carbon footprints and comply with global green certifications.

Case Study: GOTTOGPOWER’s Modular UPS GTM30/15 System was deployed in Zambia’s financial infrastructure project (The local environment: 3P/3P grid, high-temperature/high-humidity environment, frequent grid fluctuations).

4. Selection Recommendations: Prioritize Modular UPS

The advantage of Modular UPS:
Scalability: Expand capacity incrementally with modular units.
Investment Protection: N+X redundancy ensures system availability. Even for smaller current loads, modular architecture allows future upgrades, avoiding redundant investments.
