Riello have completed our UPS Servicing for both BOL8 and BOL23 units (separately).
Both UPS units are in good health with no issues reported. Both systems also had a load test to test battery capacity.
Riello have suggested a full overhaul of our BOL8 UPS system purely due to the age of the components as a precautionary measure (excluding the batteries as these were replaced in 2016)
They also suggested a battery replacement of our BOL23 UPS system although the batteries do test fine and work well under a load test. The batteries are at the early end of their expected life with up-to 2 years life expected remaining.
We have taken Riello’s advice and booked both sets of work in. Again, we will ensure that only one UPS system is serviced at a time to ensure resilience between datacentres.
The full overhaul of the BOL8 UPS system involves replacing all input filters, output inverters (essentially anything containing capacitors) as well as all fan units.
We will issue a new maintenance post once the service dates have been confirmed by Riello.
