Responses To Questions:(answers Are Bold And Italicized) room #135 Ups Replacement:what Is The Current Load On The Existing Npower Ups? 22 Kva the Liebert Npower Ups System Is Estimated To Be “end Of Life” On January 1, 2027.  This Will Mean That Replacement Parts Are No Longer Guaranteed.  If Your Npower Ups System Goes Down After This Date, There May Not Be Parts Available To Fix It And Bring It Back Online. While We Can Quote The Capacitors, Fans, Batteries, And Igbt Boards, This Is Not The Solution We’d Recommend.  We Would Instead Recommend Replacing The Unit Entirely With A New, Appropriately Sized Ups System.  We’d Rather You Purchase A New Unit That Will Last You Another 15 Years Than Quote Replacement Parts That Have The Potential Of Only A 2-year Lifespan.  Based On The Current Load In Room #339, Pricing May Not Be So Different Between All Of These Parts Replacements And A New Ups. What Is The Load On The Ups In Room #339? Is There A Reason We Are Looking At Full Parts Replacement Instead Of Purchasing A New Ups System? The Boards They Are Referring To Are For The Unit We Are Replacing On The 1st Floor. Vertiv Is Aware Of The 1st Floor Unit Having A Burnt Board. This Is Probably What The Vendor Is Referring To. The Unit On The 3rd Floor Will Get The New Parts. We Currently Have No Problems With That Unit Except For That It Is Due For Maintenance Interval Of Replacing Batteries, Fans, And Capacitors. is There Any Raised Flooring In Any Of The Rooms? If So, What Is The Heightof The Floor? The Raised Flooring Is About 2” will The Transformer Downstream Of The Ups Remain Or Do We Need Toreplace? Transformer Will Not Need To Be Replaced sow References 60 Min At Actual Load, Can We Get The Current Actual Load?this Will Determine The Total Amount Of Batteries. 1st Floor Load Was At 22 Kva And 3rd Floor Was At 26 Kva is A Wall Mount Mbp Or A Sidecar Mbp Preferred?
