UPS Room Temp.
UPS Room Temp.
(OP)
Does the room temp for a 40kw, 50kva 380volt have effect on operation or life of the equipment? Presently it is kept at 55 deg F. Can the temp be raised to lower cooling costs?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Some UPS models have internal temperature monitoring/reporting. That may help substantiate your position.

RE: UPS Room Temp.
High temperature will shorten battery life as noted by Ares.
Low temperature is also a concern, as the lower the temperature the lower the output. Batteries want to be at 77 degrees, your current 55 degree temperature is too cold for them.
C&D Batteries (http://www.cdpowercom.com/) also has some great battery information.

The reverse also holds true.
