Casino Arizona

Featuring five restaurants, a grand showroom and more than 100,000 square feet of gaming, Casino Arizona depends on reliable backup power to keep it's nearly 1,000 slot machines continuously running 24x7x365.

Casino Arizona was using an undersized UPS fed with a stepdown transformer that was causing heat and overload issues. To thoroughly understand the customer's needs and provide the best equipment recommendations, Titan Power evaluated new technology, existing footprint space and power efficiencies. Titan Power removed the existing equipment, installed a new three-phase UPS and wrap-around maintenance bypass, all while keeping the load up and running with no power issues to the casino. The customer now has a reliable backup power system that is scalable, energy efficient, redundant and provides cost savings to the customer.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

When evaluating the purchase of a new UPS, it is important to remember that there are additional costs beyond just the initial purchase of a UPS system. Things like installation, training, maintenance and operating costs are a few things to consider in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). A TCO analysis is a good tool for decision makers to use when evaluating what equipment best meets both short- and long-term budgets. It is often thought that the lower the purchase cost, then the lower the TCO. However, this is not usually the case, as typically the initial purchase price of a UPS and its batteries are only about 25-40% of the TCO of a system. Consideration must be given to things like UPS efficiency, cooling & maintenance requirements, and component replacement costs.
