APC Symmetra
Highly available single phase UPS features redundant and scalable double-conversion on-line power protection
Products
Overview
Features
Engineered to deliver the highest level of business continuity possible, Symmetra's modular, redundant architecture can scale power and run time as demand increases or when higher levels of availability are required. Integrated network manageability provides real time status updates of UPS health and environmental conditions. Hot-swappable, user replaceable power, battery, and intelligence modules enables low MTTR and ease of service. Symmetra's modular design provides redundant power in a single chassis for business-critical applications in server rooms and network closets.

- LCD display - Alpha-Numeric Display which displays system parameters and alarms.
- InfraStruXure Manager Compatible - Enables centralized management via the APC InfraStruXure Manager.
- Network manageable - Provides remote power management of the UPS over the network.
- SmartSlot - Customize UPS capabilities with management cards.
- Manageable external batteries - Reduces preventative maintenance service needs by monitoring the health and status of the external batteries and their expected runtime.
- Avoids costly power problems by keeping your IT equipment and data protected and available . - Network grade power conditioning protects from damaging surges and disruptive noise. The double conversion architecture provides tight voltage regulation, frequency regulation ,and zero transfer time to battery during power events.
- Peace of mind that comes with complete equipment compatibility and reliability of a market leader . - Safety agency tested and approved means that you can deploy Symmetra with confidence that they meet or exceed the industry’s most rigorous standards.
- Save time with easy and convenient remote accessibility. - Network manageable via serial, USB or optional Ethernet. Includes Powerchute® Network Shutdown Software for convenient monitoring and control, safe operating system shutdown, and innovative energy management capabilities.
- Low operating and maintenance costs with proven reliability and intelligent battery management . - Intelligent battery management, pioneered by APC, maximizes battery performance and life through intelligent, precision temperature compensated charging. Automatic self tests insure battery reliability and warn customers in advance of battery replacement. Convenient, easy to connect, hot-swappable battery modules provide battery replacement without powering down.
- Modular, Scalable, Redundant Architecture future proof initial investment, improves equipment availability, and simplifies maintenance. - Symmetra LX’s redundant N+1 architecture enables the unit to withstand a failures of an intelligence module, battery or power module. Modules are easily replaceable in the field. Customers can add additional power modules or batteries after initial equipment purchase to accommodate loads of up to 16 kVA.
- Generator compatible - Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to the loads in the event of an extended power outage
- Input power factor correction - Minimizes installation costs by enabling the use of smaller generators and cabling.
- Frequency and voltage regulation - Gives higher application availability by correcting poor frequency and voltage conditions without using the battery.
- Power conditioning - Protects connected loads from surges, spikes, lightning, and other power disturbances.
- Safety-agency approved - Ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment.
- Resettable circuit breakers - Enables a quick recovery from overload events.
- Cold-start capable - Provides temporary battery power when the utility power is out.
- Scalable runtime - Allows additional run time to be quickly added as needed.
- Scalable power capacity - Reduces UPS over-sizing costs today by allowing quick power upgrades, within the same footprint, later.
- Programmable frequency - Ensures compatibility with different input frequencies.
- Field-replaceable power distribution panel - Ensures compatibility with equipment that has different plug types.
- Plug-and-Play external batteries - Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to the loads when adding extra runtime to the UPS.
