The annual global IP traffic is expected to nearly triple over the next five years. Developments such as the increase of content-heavy applications such as bandwidth-intensive video, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data are behind these dramatic increases in traffic and the corresponding demand for greater data center capacity.
Keeping this is mind; Delta Electronics, Inc, provider of power and thermal management solutions has announced the global launch of its 500kVA Modulon DPH series uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The double conversion UPS boasts the world’s highest power density of 55.6kVA per 3U module. The Modulon DPH enables advanced control of power module redundancy as well as the ability to add capacity and pay-as-you-grow scalability. The Modulon DPH 500kVA UPS is the latest in its series, which also includes 75, 150, and 200 kVA models.
In contrast with traditional monoblock UPS systems, which require installing enough power for the data center’s maximum planned load right from the start, Modulon UPS has scalable capacity which can be added later.
The fault-tolerant modular design of the 500kVA Modulon DPH series UPS include power module redundancy and a dual CAN bus, onboard control logic, and self-synchronization. An added benefit of the adaptable modular design is that critical components are hot swappable. Parallel expansion and N+X redundancy with up to 8 units are possible.
Furthermore, the system’s hot-swappable architecture offers a 50% faster service time than required compared to traditional UPS systems. The latest UPS from Delta is also has AC-AC conversion efficiency of up to 96.5% in normal operation and 99% in ECO mode.
