How To Choose The Right APC UPS For Your Application

the Right APC UPSOne of the most common questions we hear is, “Which is the right APC UPS for my application?” Finding the right APC by Schneider Electric UPS for your facility can be complicated. There are many available options, different battery chemistries, power ratings, power factors, and discharge rates. Then you need to consider input and output voltages, topology, capacity, load, runtime, environment and form factor.

So how do you choose the right APC UPS for your application? Start by considering the load size and environment the UPS will be operating in. Below are a few categories with some detail to help distinguish between the different product families.

Small Office Applications

The UPS equipment in this category is most appropriate for a single or few workstations and their peripheral equipment such as printers and scanners. These UPS can also be used to back up one or a few modems and routers. These UPS are intended to provide enough back up time to safely power down computer and networking equipment and are not appropriate for longer runtimes.

If the power to the workstation is already being backed up by a larger UPS in the data center or if the building has a facility UPS, adding a smaller UPS – or daisy chain – does not add additional power protection or runtime and can even create a false sense of security. For more information, refer to our article on why you should never daisy chain UPS equipment.

Back UPS Pro (650VA – 1500VA) – The APC Back-UPS Pro family offers guaranteed power protection for high performance computer systems, routers/modems, external storage devices, game consoles and other electronics for home or small business. These UPS models supply electronics with abundant battery backup during outages and stabilize unsafe voltage levels. They also provide power protection from damaging surges and spikes and allow the use of management software, so you get the most out of your UPS. Premium features of this family may include Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), an LCD display, Smart Outlets, energy saving functions that reduce electricity use, network manageability, Watchdog, or configurable outlets. Together with the rest of the Back-UPS Pro’s standard features, they are the perfect choice to protect your data and keep your system available.

Network and Server Applications

Network and Server applications are uses where the load size is relatively small. A typical data center rack has a power draw of 5kW. The APC by Schneider Electric UPS equipment in this category is appropriate for individual data center racks, remote network closets, branch offices with a relatively low IT power draw, and workstation or small office back-up power.

Smart UPS (420VA – 5000VA) – Smart-UPS are trusted by millions of IT professionals throughout the world to protect equipment and critical data from costly interruptions by supplying reliable, network-grade power reliably and efficiently. Available in a variety of forms factors and classes (entry level, standard and extended run), there is a model for nearly every application and budget. Standard models are the most popular UPS in the world for business servers, storage and network devices and have long been considered the benchmark for reliability and manageability. Entry level Smart-UPS models are an economical choice for small and medium businesses looking to protect small networking devices, point-of-sale (POS) equipment and entry level servers. The extended run models accept external battery packs for long runtime to power critical servers, security and communication systems through outages that could last hours.

Smart UPS Online (1000VA – 20kVA) – Smart-UPS On-Line provides high density, true double-conversion on-line power protection for servers, voice/data networks, medical labs, and light industrial applications. Capable of supporting loads from 1 to 20kVA in a rack/tower convertible form, the Smart-UPS On-Line is available from 2U to 12U. Recent family extensions at 15 and 20kVA enable support of power-hungry blade servers or heavily loaded equipment racks. When business-critical systems require runtime in hours, not minutes, Smart-UPS On-Line can be configured with matching battery packs to comply with aggressive runtime demands. The included PowerChute management software provides unattended graceful shutdown of network operating systems. All models 5kVA and above include an integrated Network Management Card for remote management (optional on models below 5 kVA). The Smart-UPS On-Line family provides customers with a reliable source of uninterruptible power even in demanding power environments, including very wide input voltage window, extremely tight output voltage regulation, frequency regulation, internal bypass, and input power factor correction.

Symmetra LX (2kVA – 16kVA) – 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 mean time to repair (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.

Data Center Applications

The three-phase UPS products are intended for multi-rack data center applications, large network closets, and other highly critical loads. Installed upstream of the power panels that feed most of the IT and networking gear throughout an office building, these UPS provide both back-up power and some degree of power conditioning. Designed to support sensitive IT equipment and servers, these APC UPS should be installed in temperature and humidity-controlled environments that are closely monitored.

Symmetra PX (10kVA – 500kVA) – The Symmetra PX, 10-500kVA (480V) and 10–100kVA (208V), high performance, right-sized, modular, scalable, 3 phase UPS power protection with ultra-high availability and efficiency is ideal for any size data center or high density power zone. The PX is designed to cost effectively provide high levels of availability. Seamlessly integrating into today’s state-of-the-art data center designs, the Symmetra PX is a true modular system. Made up of dedicated and redundant modules, power, intelligence, battery and bypass, all engineered into a design that is easily and efficiently serviceable, this architecture can scale power and runtime as demand grows or as higher levels of availability are required. Symmetra PX serves as the core power train that drives InfraStruXure systems for small and medium data centers but can also power individual “zones” of larger data centers. Highly manageable, the Symmetra PX features self-diagnostic capabilities and standardized modules which mitigate the risk of human error resulting in increased overall data center reliability.

Symmetra MW (400kW-1600kVA) – The Symmetra MW, 400 -1600kVA ultra energy efficient, modular, scalable, 3 phase UPS power protection is ideal for large data centers and mission-critical environments. The MW redefines high-power UPS technology as a modular, fault-tolerant UPS in the 400kW -1600kW range. Ideal for large data centers, complete buildings, healthcare and other critical facility protection requirements, the Symmetra MW can be scaled for rigorous and changing electrical demands. Symmetra MW provides increased availability through internal N+1 configurability, predictive failure notification and multi-module paralleling features. Setting a new standard for low cost of ownership, Symmetra MW delivers best-in-class efficiency and a reduction in rating of electrical infrastructure- wires, transformers and generators. Slide-in/out power modules, manageable external batteries and self-diagnosing features greatly reduce mean time to repair, and lithium-ion battery solutions reduce battery maintenance and cost. Symmetra MW provides a customizable system in a standardized design for any large on-demand network-critical physical infrastructure.

Facility and Gray Space Applications

Critical applications outside the data center are often referred to as facility or gray space applications. Because data centers aren’t the only application that require reliable back-up back-up power, Schneider Electric offers an extensive line of facility 3-Phase UPS options ranging from 10kVA up to 1500kVA. These are the most versatile product offerings available and their high configurability makes them customizable to just about any application.
