Borri’s emergency power keeps Gems TV on air

Electrical Review Logo

Exceptional on-demand service, superior product reliability and a long standing relationship spanning over five years has secured Borri Ltd another order from the world’s premier genuine gemstone jeweller, Gems TV.

The 24-hour live television broadcaster has recently purchased a high efficiency, B9000 300kVA UPS from Borri and renewed its five-year maintenance package, which guarantees 24/7 support for the UPS and existing generator, as well as guaranteeing on immediate response time.

 

Based on an industrial estate in Worcestershire, Gems TV has a very erratic mains power supply and the site is extremely susceptible to mains failures and surges, which means that it is absolutely imperative that its back up power supply is consistently reliable. Borri’s B9000 UPS has been fitted with an additional parallel battery string for redundancy and autonomy and also a power factor corrector for optimum power safety.

Offering the highest levels of protection available the B9000 is a complete three-phase UPS system with true online double conversion technology. Its sophisticated design ensures that the power supply is totally independent of any mains interference such as spikes and voltage variations, and delivers seamless transfer to battery power with no break in supply.

Adding to its impressive credentials, the B9000 is also one of the leading high efficiency UPS systems on the market and has a prominent position on the government’s Energy Technology List. Its unique tricore technology enables the B9000 to offer AC/AC efficiency of 95 percent, which is typically around up to 15 percent more than a conventional UPS.

Complementing Borri’s full service maintenance package is its three-year warranty, which is offered on all three phase UPS systems. This manufacturer’s warranty provides customers, like Gems TV, with added peace of mind and highlights the superior reliability and manufacturing of Borri’s UPS units.

The maintenance contract supplied by Borri provides great value for money and includes a 24 hour, seven days a week emergency callout number, travel and labour costs, annual preventative maintenance works and selected parts.

Gems TV’s head of engineering, Peter Freer, commented: “We compared several UPS suppliers when we first looked at installing a UPS and decided to go with Borri because they had the most professional approach. We were extremely impressed with their overall specification. Borri was very accommodating and able to keep Gems TV on air whilst the installation of the new UPS took place, which was very impressive as the UPS is situated right next to the 24 hour live studio.

“It is not just the quality of UPS that has remained consistent over the years but also Borri’s quality of service, which has been impeccable. Its team of engineers respond quickly to any situation and I would highly recommend Borri to anyone looking for consistently reliable products and service.”
