Lidl Case Study by Power Control

Providing Resilient Power Backup for Leading German Supermarket Chain

One of the world’s fastest growing supermarket chains has ordered another two Borri Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems for its site in Surrey.

The supermarket has purchased the latest UPS units to support the Leatherhead store’s data centre. The order was secured through Buckingham based, independent reseller NSSE Ltd, which has been a Power Control premier partner for over a decade.

NSSE Ltd was able to build on its long-standing relationship with the supermarket giant to secure the latest of a string of Borri UPS orders. They have been so impressed with the performance of the Borri units that it had no hesitation in re-ordering from Power Control again.

With aggressive expansion plans for this German supermarket, it is likely that the chain will continue to invest in Borri UPS solutions for its other sites around the UK and potentially Europe.

The solution and results

Power Control decided that in order to maximise efficiency and reliability, the supermarket chain was best utilising two Borri B9000FXS 100kVA UPS units, which are now playing a critical role in providing power protection for all of the site’s electrical components.

Offering the highest levels of protection available, the Borri B9000FXS UPS three phase systems incorporate true online double conversion technology. Their sophisticated design ensures that the power supply is totally independent of any mains interference such as spikes and voltage variations, and continually delivers the German supermarket seamless transfer to battery power with no break in supply. This was installed timely, efficiently and reliably by Borri specialist engineers.

About the Product

With impressive credentials, the Borri B9000FXS series is one of the leading high efficiency UPS solutions on the market and has a prominent position on the government’s Energy Technology List. Unique tricore technology enables the Borri B9000FXS to offer AC/AC efficiency of 95%, which is typically around up to 15% more than a conventional UPS.

The Borri B9000FXS also boasts:

Three year warranty for peace of mind
Front access for ease of use
Scalable up to 8 units in parallel for changing needs
IGBT rectifier for newer technological advances and faster switching
Smart Online functionality >98% for efficiency
Internal galvanic isolation transformer to increase efficiency but reduce weight and size
THDi <3% with input power factor >0.99 to reduce power distortion and installation costs

We have been working with Power Control for over a decade and the UPS systems from them have proven resilience and improved efficiency. They are competitively priced and we have seen them highlighted in an increasing number of project specifications. With regards to this client, a break in power could cost the businesses hundreds of thousands of pounds, making it absolutely vital for us to provide a UPS solution that would deliver ultimate power protection. We have every confidence that the Borri UPS systems will provide the exact resilience required.
