Interruptions to critical business processes, whether due to hardware faults, production breakdowns, communications failures or insufficient – or even non-existent – protection against voltage fluctuations, can have far reaching consequences. After all, system availability and the reliability of IT infrastructure platforms are decisive factors for the efficiency and productivity of company processes – and thus equally for business success.

Miniaturization and the ever greater performance of the hardware components place new demands on modern power management concepts. The answer to this dilemma: Power management with RimatriX5. The demands with regard to redundancy, scalability and maximum availability are bundled into a single system. Together, the solutions help to reduce operating costs and boost the availability of the overall system. It is even possible to retrofit new modules without interrupting operation.

Particularly effective: The “n+1” technology, which ensures optimum redundancy and enhances availability. Indeed, the Power Modular Concept (PMC), with its innovative distributed parallel architecture (DPA), stands for ultimate system availability.

The power management product range for power distribution in the data centre is based on the consistent implementation of plug-&-play expansion – with no need to interrupt current operations. Downtimes are avoided and future operating costs are lowered.

Plug-in modules:  Various country-specific versions & Retrofitting without interrupting operation

Optimum cable management:  Space-saving integration into the rack also serves to cut installation costs

Power Distribution Rack (PDR) and Power Distribution Module (PDM) for power management between IT racks

  • Power Distribution Rack:
    Local distribution up to 250 A permits connection of eight PDM systems
  • Expandability:
    Expandable without interrupting operation
    VDE-tested shock hazard protection
    Direct supply-side connection to the PSM busbar
  • Flexibility:
    Cable-based connection to the PSM busbar for maximum planning flexibility
  • Power Distribution Module:
    Local power distribution up to 40 kW in server and network enclosures
    4 fused three-phase outputs, 3 x 400/230 V, 16 A each
  • Redundancy:
    Redundant infeed with option of mechanical locking

Power Modular Concept (PMC) for power supply protection
PMC provides innovative protection against power supply problems. Through the combination of modularity (scalability and redundancy) and distributed parallel architecture (DPA), it guarantees maximum availability for critical applications.

Thanks to the modular DPA system architecture, it is possible to expand capacities and stored energy times without interrupting operation.

Single-phase UPS, power range 1 – 6 kVA

  • High-quality double-conversion technology with optimum sine-wave output voltage
  • Battery expansion for extended stored energy time
    Intelligent battery management monitors battery readiness and guarantees system availability; furthermore protection against overcharging and exhaustive discharge.
  • Scope of delivery offers software compatibility for all standard operating systems
  • System load reduced by preventing continuous server polling after shutdown
Three-phase UPS, power range 10 – 120 kVA per rack

  • Performance/modularity/redundancy
    PMC is a new three-phase UPS concept offering modular “n+1” redundancy on the basis of double-conversion technology. The modular configuration permits capacity expansion through the integration of additional hot-swappable UPS modules.
  • PMC modules
    PMC modules for the power classes 10, 20, 30 and 40 kVA are prepared for 482.6 mm (19˝) installation in TS 8 server racks.

  • Maximum availability
    The “n+1” system architecture means that there are always at least two modules able to share the critical load. If any module should fail, the other modules automatically take over the whole connected load without interruption.

Integration of up to 3 modules in the IT rack or separate battery enclosure

Modules can be retrofitted on a hot-swapping basis, without needing to switch the system to a bypass. Stored energy times can be tailored to the individual application.

DPA
The distributed parallel architecture comprises integrated control electronics for rectifier, booster, inverter and static bypass. The CPU, furthermore, possesses parallel intelligence for enhanced reliability.
