Standard top or bottom, left or right cable entry
ensures maximum installation flexibility |
|
| Availability |
|
Modular Fault-tolerant Design |
The modular design of the Symmetra MW offers built-in
N+1 fault-tolerance and incorporates power-sharing technology. |
 |
|
Early-warning Problem Notification |
Predictive failure analysis of mission critical and
known wear-out components and modules enhance availability by enabling
timely preventive maintenance |
 |
|
Paralleling Features for Capacity and Redundancy |
If required for capacity or redundancy, the Symmetra MW
can easily be expanded by paralleling units |
 |
|
Distributed Inverter Technology for Fault Containment |
Should a module fail, the remaining modules will ensure
uninterrupted load support. The swappable modules also reduce the Mean Time
To Repair, ensuring full capacity in the shortest possible time |
|
| Serviceability |
|
Self-diagnosing |
The Symmetra® MW is self-diagnosing and provides
automatic, early-warning notification of possible problems |
 |
|
Self-testing |
Built in self-test feature to ensure early detection of
possible problems |
 |
|
Front-access servicing |
The front access feature makes installation and
maintenance easy and minimizes space requirements |
 |
|
Modular-level Repair |
The modular fault-tolerant design ensures system
availability, until service can be performed, and reduces the risk of human
errors |
 |
|
Component-level Predictive Failure Analysis |
Predictive failure analysis offers early-warning
notification for mission-critical and known wear-out components and modules |
 |
|
Menu-driven Repair Instructions |
Reduced Mean Time To Repair due to detailed menu-driven
repair instructions for the service engineer |
|
| Manageability |
|
Monitor Power Attributes for Entire Management
Solution |
Monitor the power, control the environment, reboot
individual equipment, and manage your Symmetra® MW, power accessories and
ancillary equipment from your data center or the remote locations with APC
Management software |
 |
|
Intelligent Battery Management |
The Symmetra MW features advanced battery monitoring and
temperature-compensated battery charging. Battery data is continuously
compared to preprogrammed data in the monitoring software to ensure reliable
batteries and prolonged battery life. A reduction in battery capacity
automatically triggers an alarm |

power, control the environment and reboot individual equipment via network
and web. Visit Power Management for further details |
|
| Economy |
| State-of-the-Art Topology |
The Symmetra® MW features enhanced Delta Conversion
On-line Topology, offering the highest available efficiency and lowest
operating costs |
 |
| Rated for Power-Factor Corrected Loads |
A unique power-factor control ensures that the input
power factor is always ~1 regardless of load and mains voltage. This
eliminates the need for an external phase-compensation unit, and minimizes
installation costs, as smaller cables and fuses can be used |
 |
| Temperature Compensated Battery Charging |
Temperature Compensated Battery Charging provides
prolonged battery life by regulating the charge voltage according to actual
battery temperature. |
 |
| Full-rated Power with kVA equaling kW |
The full-rated inverter of the Symmetra® MW is a perfect
match for today's power-factor corrected computer loads, eliminating the
need for and oversized UPS |
