Piller UNIBLOCK™ UB-V Series
UB-V is Piller's latest UNIBLOCK™ platform: an electrically coupled UPS where the energy store connects to the UPS unit electrically only. It is built for large data centres and industry and delivers up to 3.24 MW in a single module, reducing the need for many parallel modules.
- Hyperscale, colocation and large enterprise data centres
- Semiconductor production, hospitals, airports and energy
- Stabilising gas/diesel gensets and gas turbines

Technology
How it works
An all-new electronics platform with self-diagnostics and a real-time Ethernet protocol (PillerLINK™) in a patented ring topology provides redundancy between boards powered from redundant sources.
The unit has no power capacitors or electric fans. On that basis Piller states a mean time between failures up to five times higher than a typical static UPS.
Bi-directional power flow allows energy to be fed back to the grid or moved between sources within a micro-grid.
Application
Where it fits

Service
Operation and maintenance
With remote monitoring and condition-based service, Piller states that off-line service can be as infrequent as every five years, and that e-VENTLOG™ can remove the need for an operational shutdown for up to five years in controlled environments.
A rotary plant should always be load-tested at commissioning – stepped load, utility failures and transfer to engine.
