Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has introduced Easy UPS 3-Phase Modular to the South African marketplace. This robust uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is designed to protect critical loads while offering third-party verified Live Swap functionality.
The Easy UPS 3-Phase Modular is available from 50 to 250 kW capacity with N+1 400V scalable configuration and supports Schneider Electric’s vendor agnostic Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) architecture, EcoStruxure IT which allows for intelligent battery management, real-time monitoring, and control capabilities.
`123The Easy UPS 3-Phase Modular has been designed with scalability in mind and forms part of Schneider Electric’s Green Premium portfolio, which ensures energy efficiency, durability, recyclability, and transparency to help reduce environmental footprint.
The UPSs scalability allows organisations to “pay-as-they- grow”, optimising capital investment with competitive acquisition costs. Companies can buy the power modules upfront and then add more modules, as demand grows, with third-party verified Live Swap functionality.
Scheduled downtime is also significantly reduced through the self-diagnosing Live Swapable power modules and static switch, thereby increasing reliability and availability in a compact footprint.
“The new Easy UPS 3-Phase Modular with Live Swap is driven by our strong safety culture,
delivering a touch-safe design through the entire process of adding or replacing the modular components while remaining online,” explains Ben Selier, Vice President for Secure Power, Anglophone Africa at Schneider Electric.
“This innovative capability enables fast and simple insertion and replacement of the power and bypass modules without having to transfer the UPS to maintenance bypass or to battery operation.”
The Easy UPS 3-Phase Modular features:
- Easy installation - every step of the deployment is simplified with the UPS that is easy to select, quote, stock, install, scale, and maintain.
- Compact IT rack footprint – rack space is freed up for revenue-generating equipment; the 600 mm wide rack looks professional in the data centre or electrical room.
- Innovative Live Swap - keeps the load protected, business running, and employees safer.
- Optimised investment - the easy-to-scale UPS is tailored a site’s needs to reduce capital expenditure and optimise UPS performance.
