Lowering total cost of ownership with Eaton 3-Phase UPSs

You could buy a UPS based on its list price. Or you could buy an Eaton UPS that works out cheaper over its lifetime.

Total cost of ownership – lifetime of value

 
You may know the upfront cost of buying an online UPS; however, the list price doesn’t tell you the final price you’ll pay.  Do you know what it will cost to run and maintain your  UPS over its lifetime or what other factors you need to consider, including the cost of battery replacement and annual energy use?

When considering purchasing an UPS and comparing products or vendors, looking at the broader total cost of ownership (TCO) is one of the most important things you should consider. TCO is a financial metric that evaluates the total investment that you will make throughout the lifetime of the purchase, including direct and indirect costs. Even a single percentage point improvement in efficiency could save you more than the UPS purchase price over its lifetime.
