Schneider Electric acquired APC in 2007 and merged it with MGE UPS Systems to form its IT Business Unit. The document discusses APC's portfolio of UPS products ranging from 10kVA to 1600kVA, which provide power protection solutions from small wiring closets to large data centers and factories. It also covers APC's scalable modular UPS systems, high efficiency power distribution solutions, power monitoring features, and next generation rack PDU designs.

9. 400 VAC Data Center
Power Distribution
 400 VAC Configuration Utilizes no
PDUs to Transform UPS voltage to
Server Power Supply Voltages
 400Y/230 VAC, 3 Phase, 4 W + G
to Rack.
 Distribution More Closely Sized to
the System Rating.
 Single Autotransformer or 400 VAC
UPS System can be used.
 Greatly Reduced Weight and
Footprint Considerations in the
Data Center White Space.
 No or Reduced XFMR Heat Losses
 400Y/230 VAC. Five Conductors, A,
B, C, N, G, Lower Amperage

10. What is Modular Power Distribution?
● A simple, cost effective solution to
install 3PH Power Distribution
infrastructure
● Populated with Breaker Modules as
capacity is needed
● No hot-work
● No downtime
● Includes:
● Enclosure
● Breaker Module with whip (cord set)
and connector
● Branch Current Monitoring
● Breaker Position Monitoring

23. EcoBreeze – Theory of Operation
High Level Application
*Not to scale
● Sits outside the data center
● Optional ground or roof placement
● Turn-key solution
● Set it in place
● Run power and water to the unit
● Duct it to the space
APC by Schneider Electric

24. 3. Does their data center design allow space for the
EcoBreeze outside the building?
● The EcoBreeze is a large
footprint. The customer site
will need the required space
to fit the system, including
service clearances
● 40’ Frame area 320ft2
● 20’ Frame area 160ft2
● Total 40’ frame area with
service clearances is 1024 ft2
● Total 20’ frame area with
service clearances is 544ft2
● This includes clearance on a
ground or roof installation
clearances
