10.1 POWERSCALE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

In environments that demand zero downtime, continuous power protection availability is essential. In order to
respond to today's dynamic IT and process-related environments that experience daily change through new server
technologies, migration and centralization, resilient and easily adaptable power protection concepts are required.
POWERSCALE is the foundation for continuous power protection availability of network-critical infrastructures in
enterprise data centers where business continuity has paramount importance and in process control environment
where manufacturing continuity is essential.
POWERSCALE is an advanced double conversion UPS, VFI (Voltage and Frequency Independent) topology that
responds fully to both highest availability and environmentally friendly requirements compliant with IEC 62040-3
(VFI-SS-111) standards.
The POWERSCALE UPS features innovations that combine to deliver the industry's best key values like: enhanced
power performance, parallel capability and connectivity's interaction.
When operating in parallel configuration, each POWERSCALE can take the leadership role avoiding single points
of failure in the parallel chain ensuring the highest level of power availability.
The most demanding IT infrastructures start with low power before achieving its full capacity. It is in this case
essential to be able to recover the missing power requirement without risk for the applied load. POWERSCALE
allows for system upgrades to meet the highest level of availability interruption free and without a temporary
transfer the load to row mains (by-pass).
This Technical Specification provides detailed technical information on the mechanical, electrical and
environmental performance of the POWERSCALE that can support to give answers to tender and end-user
requirements. The POWERSCALE was designed to respond to the most stringent safety, EMC and other important
UPS standards.
POWERSCALE is a stand-alone UPS which can be paralleled for power protection increase and/or for redundancy
purpose. It offers 7 different power ranges: 10-15-20-25-30-40-50kVA in three different cabinet sizes.
Up to 20 UPS can be paralleled together and provide any redundant power capacity with common or separate
battery configuration.
