We have some 25 kVA, 110V AC UPS in the offshore oil platforms. It is installed in the air conditioned room. These UPS are only just six (6) years old. Vendor has suggested that we should replace the UPS capacitors, for the better reliability.
I wonder, how frequently the UPS capacitors shall be replaced. In my earlier assignments, I have seen some UPS working for more than 10-15 years. No one have suggested to replace the capacitors there. The UPS was working fine.
I want to know, is it an over kill?
Please share your experience on this.
